Invite the compassionate Presence of Spirit into your heart to help you learn what you are doing or thinking that may be causing your pain.
Consciously move out of the intent to protect/control and into the intent to learn about what you are doing or thinking that may be causing your pain so that you can move into loving yourself and others.
When you connect with Spirit and move into the intent to learn, you are in a loving Adult state, as opposed to the ego wounded self state you are in when you want to protect/control.
In Step Two, you welcome and embrace all your feelings with a compassionate intent to learn.
Do not give up on your dreams. Keep moving yourself forward, bit by bit, and you will get there, just as the tiny drops of water on a stone eventually wear down the stone. Spirit supports in your highest good when you know what you want and are willing to persistently take the necessary actions in your own behalf.
