| 3 Steps to Free Yourself From
the Valentines Day Blues
For many of us, Valentines Day
is the most depressing day of the year. It's a day to replay all of
the things that are not right in our world. It's a day of mourning
as we wallow in the misery of what's missing in our lives. Some of
us expect that our commiserating with other 'suffering' girlfriends
(or guy-friends) will make us feel better, when in actuality, it
takes the misery up a notch. Let's face it, we all have
expectations of V-Day. We either expect to be surprised and excited
or we expect to be let down.
I have a few questions for you. Do you believe that you learned
anything from your 'painful' past? If given another opportunity do
you think you could make wiser choices? Of course you could. So, I
want to offer you an opportunity and YOU get to choose. You can
either be a victim of your past or you can beThe Victor of your
future.
Step 1 - Have Faith in NEW
Possibilities.
One of the things that keeps the pain in the forefront of your
life is focusing on it. When you look back, are you remembering and
reliving the moments of defeat in your life?
Sweetie, you've got to know that as long as there is breath in
your body, your best days are ahead of you. You've got to trust that
whatever your experiences have been, they bring with them WISDOM;
even if the wisdom is in knowing what NOT to do.
So, knowing what you know now and what you've learned through
those painful experiences, you are now more equipped to CREATE a
better future, build new memories and nurture those gifts within you
that you've allowed to lie dormant.
It's time to stop replaying your past and start pre-playing your
future. It's time to change your focus. Instead of looking back let
us all look forward towards our Victory.
So, what is it that you need to have Victory over? What needs to
change in your life? What boundaries do you need to create to
support your quest for Victory? How can you fortify yourself in
preparation for your new life?
Own your future today by taking responsibility for the choices
that you have made in your life. Then realize that TODAY you get to
make a new choice. You are NOT a victim anymore!
Step 2 - Hold On to HOPE
Did You Know that on average, most men release between 50 to 500
million sperm with each emission. Do you realize that your
existence, the fact that you are able to read this letter, is
evidence that YOU are the manifestation of a miracle? You were the
one out of 500 million that WON the race! Have you ever wondered
WHY?
Everything that God created was designed to serve a purpose.
There's a purpose for the seasons, there's a purpose for natural
laws like gravity and there's a purpose for YOU!
It's time to acknowledge that you were created to serve a unique
purpose; to complete a particular set of tasks. You see, only YOU
have had your experiences, only YOU possess your TAGS(TM) [Talents,
Abilities, Gifts and Skills]. Only you have been equipped to
complete Your Assignment. Do you know what your assignment is? It's
time to take your focus off of the 'lack' in your life and redirect
your focus towards your purpose. Embrace the possibilities.
Step 3 - Learn to RECEIVE LOVE FULLY
Know that YOU are LOVED, first and foremost, by God. Even though
you've experienced a painful past, even though 'bad' things have
happened in your world, God DOES LOVE YOU! Being able to fully
receive God's love will transform every area of your life.
Learn to be loving towards yourself, patient with yourself,
compassionate with yourself and forgiving of yourself.
No more being critical or judgmental towards yourself. No more
looking back in regret, sadness, bitterness, resentment or
un-forgiveness. No more replaying the painful experiences in your
life and never learning the lessons from those experiences. No more
blaming others for what's missing in your world. No more excuses for
what didn't happen or for what did.
It's a New Day! Today is Day 1 - Victory Day. It's the day you
learned to look forward. Today you are one V-day closer to
wholeness, one V-Day closer to Peace, and one Victory Day closer to
living the life of your dreams. So, let's see what you could create
for yourself and your life between now and Victory Day next year.
Celebrate YOU today, because this V-Day...YOU WIN!!!
Hugz, 
One last thing...Imagine
The one gift from God that we most take for granted is our
imagination. Begin to use your imagination to build visual images of
what you want to be/do/have in your life. Remember, what you
think about...you bring about. It's the Law of Attraction: the
infamous SECRET to living the life you've always dreamed of. Keep
hoping, keep loving and keep believing in the possibilities of
tomorrow.
1 Corinthians 13:13
And so faith, hope, love abide [faith--conviction
and belief respecting man's relation to God and divine things;
hope--joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation;
love--true affection for God and man, growing out of God's
love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is
love.

Deuteronomy 23:5 (New International Version)
5
However, the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam but turned
the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God
loves you.
Ephesians 3:17-21 (New Living Translation)
17 Then
Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him.
Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.
18 And
may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people
should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.
19 May
you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to
understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the
fullness of life and power that comes from God.
