If you live on planet earth long enough, there will be things you must overcome, and they’re IN your present. This is what you can do about it…

Oftentimes we blame the past for everything, including our present.

Stop blaming your past. IT can't do anything about it.

BUT YOU CAN...IN YOUR PRESENT.

If you blame your past...what you’re really doing is blaming your PRESENT.

It’s time to stop blaming, and forgive your present. In the present.

If you haven’t forgiven your past, it’s IN your present.

Forgive your PRESENT for holding onto it.

Forgive yourself, my dear!

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Write down what you’ve been carrying with you from the past…and for some reason you’re blaming your PRESENT on it.

Circle it.

Put a line through it.

Write down: I FORGIVE YOU.

Thanks for tuning in today, and every day...and allowing me to SIP ON LIFE with you.
