“You are a creator, and the subject of your creation is your joyful life experience. That is your mission. That is your quest. That is why you are here.” – Abraham Hicks
I have had enough.
I have decided to make 2010’s theme Relief for a very good reason: I have had enough.
I am tired of being disappointed in myself. Do you near me? I AM TIRED OF BEING DISAPPOINTED IN MYSELF.
I am tired of trying. I am tired of letting myself down in my attempts to be different from who I am. What a ridiculous thing that is: to try to be different from who we are. What is so wrong with who I am?
Every book, every guru, every everything has been telling me the same thing, but I haven’t been listening: it is all about feeling good. But I’ve been waiting to feel good until I have lost weight, gotten published, made money, become the person I think I should be, blah blah blah blah blah.
What a bloody waste of time.
I’ve been struggling with what I truly want and I now realize I have known it all along: I want to live happily ever after.
I’d better get started.
Relief.
oh that just sounds like a lovely big contented sigh!
wonderful 🙂
Love these thoughts! I am usually paralyzed by not my measuring up … it is difficult to think of myself in positive terms. I am ready to be done with that! As a start, using the nablopomo monthly theme for January, BEST, I am writing 31 posts about the best things about being me.
Thanks for your inspiration today.
oh, btw, can I snag that photo for my inspiration board? (http://cynthiaclack.tumblr.com/)
I love your unabashed honesty. Good for you. Relief it is, bring it on 🙂 Best of luck settling into you and then letting us all glow in your light.
Don’t you love those Compendium cards? Fabulous!
All the very best in 2010!
When I did my year-end review for 2009, I kept putting it off because I was worried that the “what didn’t go well” list would be so ridiculously long. Instead, I found that the “what did go well” list was more than twice as long as the list of things that went wrong. I felt a huge amount of relief as I realized I’m not the loser I thought I was.
I think it’s just easier to see all our “failures.” But when you actually look at it, you’ll see all the things you *did* accomplish this year.
But, yes. Relief is an excellent word for the year. You’re amazing, Megg. Cut yourself some slack.
Yes!!! It is so hard, so HARD, but it must be done, musn’t it? Always, always the hardest thing to feel you don’t fit in – oh my! To live happily ever after you must be you, and you are wonderful!
this is beautiful.
you are already perfect, exactly as you are.
Happy New Year!!
What a beautiful way to bring it in. Wishing you much relief and peace.
brilliant plan. i totally hear it.
here’s to living happily ever after!!!
oh i hear you!
this word is perfect.
xo
I know exactly how you feel. I am also victimized of waiting to be happy until I achieve … what ever is is I am after.
I wish you all the best in your endeavor to be happy.
This resonates with me so much. Finding happiness in the now is much more important.
Well, it sounds like you’re on your way now and the waiting for the life to be lived fully is over, not surprised you feel all that relief 🙂
Megg, wishing you & yours the best year yet!
You said it sister!
Cheers to that. They say, Ram Das says we get what we most want when we let go of it. I hope that’s true. Here’s to some relief for us all.
Bisous, Bisous

Yay! Fantastic word and so important. There is no ‘self-improvement’ there is only – somehow – loving what is and paradoxically finding relief in that. We walk the same line.
