I also stopped being a grumpy person in the morning by deciding I'd be a "morning person".  Everything you are saying here is true.

I consider that to live life you have to be cause, not effect or a victim.  That is a low way of operating.  Live life, cause what is going to or is happening to you and just enjoy it. 

Well done on that.  Awesome, positive blog and your thoughts and opinions do count.<br/><br/>

I am so happy and proud of you at the same time.  You have hit the nail on the head - we create our lives through our choices, and those choices are based on our beliefs.  If you believe it will happen, it WILL happen (and that works for both the good and the bad).

You are definitely on the right track to change your life.  I would like to suggest a wonderful book that supports everything you have just discovered.  It changed my life quite some time ago.  You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay.  Wonderful.

You can do this, Jelly Bean!

In life, we are the ones to change what we don't like, we decide the fate of our thoughts, and our actions. If you are disappointed or depressed with life, or fearful you can pretty much thank yourself, your reactions to things, and your decisions on what thoughts you allowed to get in.

We need to think of ourselves as the gatekeeper, we decide on what we want and only allow thoughts leading to that to enter.

I have struggled with my weight all my life, I have learned that it is up to me, everything in life we don't like, we can thank ourselves for, so when you realize and almost have an outer body experience, you step out and say, hey, I'm doing that, I'm making myself overweight with the choices I make, so simple.  Just change the choices I'm making. So simple when you finally get it. 

WE are in charge of our lives.  Great Blog JJB,  I agree with John, you have a lot to offer, we need to hear more from you.<br/><br/>

It is difficult for me to write because sometimes I think my opinions/thoughts are not valid. But I am learning to believe in myself, to trust in myself, and thus, to share myself with others. Your posts and this site in general is really helping me to do that. Thanks again for your acknowledgment, I actually can't believe how good a simple reply like yours made me feel. I surely hope to stay on my journey and write posts along the way...<br/><br/>
