Everyone’s Human
Time for me to come clean about why I haven't made a video in three months. I've learned that I don't have to be perfect in order to help, teach and serve others. I'm human just like you. I'll always have doubts and insecurities to face because the only constant in life is change. I'm not a fraud because I still may struggle at times. In fact, I'd be a huge fraud if I claimed to never struggle.

Thank you Andy. I was brought to tears listening to this post. Although I have not be suicidal in the past few months/years, I have been very negative and down on myself. I was just exisiting and seeing the worst in situations. Negativity began to consume my life. Even though I knew that certain places and situations made me sad, I continued to be drawn to them. Your post has reminded me that I hold the key to my happiness. Losing a job that I loved, breaking the “habit” that had become my life ~going into the office whether I was supposed to be there or not, spending day after day, hour after hour in a place that drained me was NOT healthy. Since losing my job, I have found myself reconnecting with friends, participating in discussions, contributing to conversations, enrolling and attending college, going back to the gym, recognizing what I am consuming and being conscience of it’s benefits, recognizing my strengths, accepting my weaknesses and actually loving myself. If anyone had said that I would be BETTER with no incoming paycheck and no job, I would have thought that they didn’t know me very well. The universe will teach you some wonderful leasons if you allow it to. I’ve got to remember the positive, and not dwell on the negative.
You like me need to be reminded of the gift we have found in loving life. I am reminded of this every time you post a new video. You putting into words what you have learned, and teaching the rest of us is truly a gift. I hope that you remember all of your viewers love you, support what you are doing and are learning from you. Please continue your good work. You are right, you are human. A human that is loved by many. Thank you for sharing your gift.
I know that I am not 100% “cured” from the grey clouds and self doubt days. However, seeing this post I know that I will be okay. Thank you.

You are very welcome, Jackie. I want to thank you for sharing yourself here.
Isn’t it amazing how much joy and happiness we can feel when we recognize negativity as a pattern and choose something different?
We all need reminders. I don’t believe there is anything to “cure” in any of us. We just need reminders of all the love, joy and support available to us. We can’t see it when we are focused on what seems “wrong” in our lives or selves.
Congratulations on loving yourself – that is the greatest gift anyone can posses and it is our birthright.
Love and light to you!

No sense in leaving the movie in the middle, man. You might miss the most amazing parts, without ever knowing they existed.

Very true, Fran.
We’ve already bought our ticket so might as well stay till the end.
In my most pessimistic times I often said that if I didn’t like a movie I’d walk out, and life is no different.
But life is VERY different. It can be as easy to change your life as it is to pick a different movie to see. Too many people don’t realize how much power they have over their own experiences.
