to act as if you are 100% responsible for everything that does or doesn’t happen to you. If something doesn’t turn out as planned, you will ask yourself, How did I create that? What was I thinking? What were my beliefs? What did I say or not say? What did I do or not do to create that result? How did I get the other person to act that way? What do I need to do differently next time to get the result

The Total Truth Letter Follow these steps when writing a Total Truth Letter: 1. Write a letter to the person who has upset you, with roughly equal portions of the letter expressing each of the feelings in the Total Truth Process. 2. If the other party is not someone who is likely to agree to cooperate with this process, you may choose to simply throw the letter away once you have completed it. Remember, the main purpose here is to get you free from the unexpressed emotions, not to change the other person.
Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.
The Lord seems far away at times, though I can’t reason why He was right here, just yesterday, as I was passing by I told Him in the morning that my time was really tight But promised I would talk with Him, sometime, perhaps that night Yet as the shadows cast their gloom ‘round evening colors deep I barely whispered thanks to Him as I fell off to sleep The Lord seems far away at times, the reasons: hard to say He tried to reach me in my thoughts, but work pushed Him away I promised Him at lunchtime I would read His Word and pray Instead I worked right past my meal and through the rest of day At dinnertime I bowed my head, to Him I gave a nod — And wondered, as I watched TV, where’s time to spend with God? If God seems far away at times, the reasons are all mine He’s always there to hear my prayers, yet He must wait in line There’s time each day to talk with Him, to read His word and pray When it seems God’s not reachable, it’s ‘cause I walked away He’s never changed His whereabouts, His steadfastness He’s proved If God seems far away from me... it wasn’t God who moved. ~Michele Dellapenta
