The Universe holds nothing back from us. We hold back because we don't feel we're worthy and then we don't let the gifts grow into their fullness because we ignore them. For instance, suppose someone pays you a compliment. How much do you really let that in? Do you fend it off right away, or acknowledge your own goodness? The next time someone shows appreciation for you or what you've done, try simply accepting the gift without disparagement. Then consider how that acceptance makes you feel.

If you're a silent sufferer, as I was, good luck. Whatever it is you're suffering over is growing like an overfed weed. Same thing if you're a controller, nagger, worrier, or people-pleaser. You have to take your relationship-killing focus OFF whatever it is that's closing your valve and put it ON to what you want in life. In other words, take your focus off your Don't Wants, put it on your Wants and keep it there.

I have good news and I have bad news. the bad news is that there is no key to the universe. The good news is that the door has never been locked.
