5. You are full of self-loathing and down deep you feel unworthy of love this is the biggest lie of all. You were born lovable, and you are here to love. Without blame, you must face what happened in your childhood to cause your low self-esteem.

6. You continually choose fear over love. The only cure for self-destruction is self-love.

7. You do not know how to forgive. You have been under the spell that you need to forgive other people another circuitous route through the maze. The only person you need to forgive is yourself.

You can stop doing unwanted behaviors, and no one can stop you, but you. You may believe your situation is hopeless, not true. No matter how many times you have tried and failed, now is the time for the miracle. You can turn your insane mindset from "doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results," to "doing the same thing again and again and getting different results."

There is only one caveat; you must choose love over fear. With the thousands of people whom I have treated, the ones who do the uncomfortable work-no matter how scared they are-succeed because they are willing to learn self-love. No one likes the discomfort that comes from growing pains; however, emotional healing is just like physical healing. You can ignore the symptoms, medicate the pain, but until you treat the cause of the wound, you will only prolong the agony and stay sick.

Choose love over fear, here are the keys to your success:

* YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON YOU WILL EVER LOVE

* YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON YOU WILL EVER TRUST

* YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON YOU WILL EVER FORGIVE

You can have the life that you were meant to have, you are in charge of your success, and you can claim it now.
