Dear Joshua,
I really enjoyed the call this morning ~ so many "a-ha" moments!!
Thinking about all we talked about ~ I have a limiting belief that if I accept everything as being good ~ the universe will give me something to "test" my acceptance.
I understand logically that whatever is going to happen is going to happen FOR me, I just have such fear wrapped up in letting go! I realize this lifestyle is NOT working for me and I am eager to change. I feel this is the reason I still hold on so tight is due to fear of the big "what if?"
I know I can tell myself a different story; "what if I let go and I receive all the amazing things I have desired?" I guess I am looking for some clarification and reassurance.
With Love and Gratitude

Dear Wendy,
What if you receive all that you desire? What if all your dreams manifest? Do you feel ready for all that? Does all that entail some fear? Will you be able to handle it? What if you receive everything you desire and still feel the way you do now?
Here's how this works. Feel good now and then you will receive some more things that match how you feel. That's all there is too it. You won't be tested in a way you're not ready for. You won't have to endure some hardship to prove you've changed. Just feel a little better and you will be ready for the good things that come. There's nothing to worry about because you will not receive more than you are ready for. If you were to receive more than you're ready for, you would simply and automatically put up some resistance and slow things down.
So this all boils down to irrational fear. You are now ready to start thinking about and analyzing your fears. They are limiting your experience of life. You intended to experience life and push through your fears. Somehow you've adopted a lot of highly limiting beliefs based in irrational fear. Let's work through these fears together. Let's take a look at them and try to figure out why you feel fear in certain areas. Let's prove the fears are false. Let's push through these fears and do whatever you want to do.
Let's build some momentum of pushing through fear and feeling the exhilaration that comes as a result of that.
It is now time to move forward. You intellectually know everything you need to know. You understand how the system works. There's nothing to fear. Nothing can go wrong. You cannot fail. All you can do is stay in your comfort zone. But your comfort zone is not so comfortable after all. Remember, the only thing you really fear is negative emotion. If you can realize that your negative emotion comes as a result of seeing something as bad or wrong (whatever that may be), and you can understand that there is no wrong, you can see that it is your judgment that is calling it wrong. Release your personal judgment and look at it from another point of view and you will be able to see how it might be right.
Do not fear change. You need change. You are changing. Change is a good thing. All change is progress. You are always moving forward and cannot go backwards. Seek change wherever and whenever possible. Do something today that is different than what you have been doing. What are you going to do differently today? Make a decision and change your routine. Do something out of your comfort zone and tell us what you did today that was different. It can be anything. Don't over think it. Just do something.
We are eager to hear what you did today.
Joshua
