The Universe Does Listen?

I've been giving myself a hard time recently.  I really do not live up to my expectations.  There are so many areas of my life where I feel I have fell short and I now realise that there is no-one to blame but myself.  Often when I am at my lowest point, something will happen to help me change my thought process which so happened  this weekend when I listened to two motivational speakers on Super Soul Sunday on TLC.  The speakers were Bishop T D Jakes and Deepak Chopra.  I listened intently to what they were saying and really did feel uplifted at the end of the 'pep' talk.

The thing that stuck most in my mind from Bishop Jakes was 'you are where you are because of the thoughts you think' and from Deepak Chopra ' what the caterpillar thought was the end of the World was the birth of a butterfly'.

From now on I really am going to try and change my thought pattern.  It has taken years to build up a negative image of myself so I guess it will take time to start believing in my self worth.

As I have been writing this and leaning forward to read the writing on the screen (I am typing on a big old desktop computer)  the flame from the image of the candle has got increasingly hot forcing me to sit back.  How weird is that? Can you feel the heat from it too?!!!

* just in case people think I have finally 'lost it' I know that I can't really feel heat from the candle on the screen but it certainly warmed me up just looking at it!
