using the spiritual principles of this program to shape my thoughts is an idea that i had not considered. i must have read this reading before, but it never struck a cord with me until this morning. i probably have not been ready to hear this until now. up to now i have not really been sure of what kind of person i want to become, and i probably still do not know. i do know that i do not want to keep feeling and thinking as i did when i embarked on this journey. i also know that i do like the direction that i have been heading for some time now. i want to be a person that is comfortable in my own skin, a constant friend, a reliable worker and someone that can go through life causing a minimum of chaos. none of these ideals are unachievable, but i do need to shape my thoughts by using the spiritual principles that have been given to me.

• SELF-ACCEPTANCE instead of SELF-LOATHING
• SELFLESSNESS instead of SELFISHNESS
• TOLERANCE instead of SELF-RIGHTOUSNESS
• DILIGENCE instead of SLOTH
• and last but certainly not least GOD-CENTERED instead of SELF-CENTERED.

living in the HERE AND NOW and letting this program do its work from the inside will help me to become more of this kind of person and allow my spirit to soar beyond my wildest dreams.
