		<description>Beautifully told and courageous of you to share. It seems that too many people don&#039;t understand that we tell ourselves stories. That you understand and have the wisdom to change it to a story that is right for you is refreshing and inspirational. Thanks Leila.
Blessings,

		<description>I know what you mean about telling the stories...a long time.  I did that.  The other part of &#039;telling&#039; the stories for a long time is how we react to people and situations when we believe we are our stories.  That can be destructive.  I think that&#039;s what you mean by re-creating patterns and needing to work on ourselves first...Is that right?  What I have learned is that when we take responsibility for the way our lives look and stop blaming others or making excuses for why our lives aren&#039;t the way we want them--we can really make some changes that bring us to internal peace....</description>

		<description>Ck, thanks for sharing this powerful article.  I do believe that our story does affect our character.  Many of us live stuck in the patterns of childhood.  It has been a long and powerful journey out of my own childhood of abuse.  My life has been about peeling away the layers of emotions to find what is underneath.  When you strip away the layers of pain and fear, what you find beneath them is love and understanding and often compassion for yourself and the abusers.  In learning to understand myself better, I grew to understand my parents better.  For myself, I haven&#039;t found life to be as easy as flipping a switch.  Telling myself that I am joyful and loving and free didn&#039;t give me any of that until I was able to work through the pain.  Part of working through that pain and ultimately letting go of it meant that I told those stories a lot for a long time.  Telling those stories can be a really important part of growth when as a child you were silenced in order for the abuse to continue.  Telling the stories was a big part of my journey toward learning to trust myself and others.  Now, like you, I only tell those stories because others might benefit from the lessons that I learned from those stories.

Very often we recreate in our adult lives, the patterns that we didn&#039;t heal and need the most to work on ourselves.  For about 2 years of my life, my husband and I were houseparents in a group foster home system working with troubled kids.  We got into this field because of my need to help other kids who came from abusive homes.  What I didn&#039;t know at the time was that I couldn&#039;t truly help anyone else until I helped myself.   I quit this job when I realized that I had to work on myself first.  I was empty at that point in my life.  How could I give to others before I learned to give to myself?  It wasn&#039;t possible.  I thank those kids for teaching me that.  What I learned was that the patterns we don&#039;t heal, we continue to recreate.  Once they are healed, they are no longer a problem.  Thanks everybody for the really great comments to this article.</description>

		<description>Hello to all!  Yes, I am always looking for &quot;tools&quot; to use to reprogram limiting beliefs... I get discouraged when I hear about all these indepth/lengthy healing methods.  I have always believed it is important to keep things very simplistic, otherwise time and money with no results just leads to continued frustration!  I have witnessed &quot;self-help junkies&quot; who have spent most of their life (and money) on &quot;the pursuit of happiness&quot; trail!  If I hear one more comment about &quot;inner child work&quot;  I&#039;m going to puke!!! Enough already!  Simple tools with grand results would be a nice change.......  I know CK.. You are probably wondering what tools I use???  Mostly &quot;just saying no!&quot; when I feel negative emotions wanting to take over.. Learning to flip the switch for lack of a better term.  Lets face it, the ego program that humanity has fostered has remained in place for thousands of years!  We&#039;ve been in primarily a state of fear (&quot;fight or flight&quot;)--preoccupying ouselves with ways to survive rather than thrive!  This preoccupation has come with a great price, and it&#039;s finally beginning to lose it&#039;s grip because we are awakening to the fact that there has to be more than this... We (our souls) yearn for peace, love, and joy, individually and globally!  Internal and external upheaval is taking place so as move humanity into a whole new direction.  We may not like it, but on a grander scale it is necessary!  The &quot;old program&quot; wants to maintain it&#039;s grip, but alas it no longer has complete domain!  The answers are being provided... CK, myself, many of you, and countless others are sharing in this journey!   Those who choose will evolve in ways that are beyond our wildest dreams!  The &quot;dormant seeds&quot; are germinating and taking root!  As it grows it forces all that no longer serves it out of the way!   Hang on!  There is light at the end of the tunnel (if you doubt this &quot;flip that switch&quot;, because it is the old program that wants you to believe otherwise..).   May peace, love, and joy beyond your wildest dreams become more and more commonplace....</description>
