Do you deserve all the good things that happen to you and all the
people who think so highly of you? I have this mantra going through my brain ... "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it." "I don't deserve it."

Hi Troy...
An interesting question... For me,,I have found that generally I sleep in the bed I made. There are acts of Nature for sure,,that fall within some form of the chaos theory,,but most times I get pretty much what I give...Of course this aspect of my life relates to my adulthood. Then there is the matter of what people think of me. If I am "primarily" concerned with that then I become skewed for I am acting through my ego and not my "self". Pride is one of my more vicious enemies, it stalks me waiting to take hold of the slightest fear and catapult me into pretense where I begin to either makes myself more than or less than..depending on what my fear dictates... For me everyone matters,,but not necessarily their opinion of me... BTW,,I think your pretty OK...  IMHO. Lenny

Troy, you deserve every bit of good that is in your life.
Don't doubt yourself, please. Perhaps trying to change that mantra to "I'm grateful for these beautiful things in my life." Reword it to suit yourself, but make it one of gratitude. It's always incredibly hard whenever I'm doing the same thing, so I am no Pollyanna! But I also know if I don't do something to change that mantra that I'm gonna be in a world of hurt. Troy, you've already taken a first step away from it by posting here. Keep posting and let us know how you are, please? You are my brother and I care...pm if you'd like. Cap

I agree with the above. You make your bed and you lie in it. I am a strong believer of kharma. If you are getting bad things, then do good things to counteract them. Good luck.

I'll try this ... beats the crap out of depending on Karma and the coincidence of Sagitarius and Acquarius and the vibrations of the universe.

Troy I read about your upbringing and I'll never forget it. You had a bed made for you by the time that you got to adulthood and you had at least a dozen hands making that bed for you and they had very harmful hands....

can you imagine ... can you imagine anyone now saying "you made your bed, lie in it"? -- what kind of karma s* thinking says that little kid deserved it, let him live with the consequences?
dozens of hands - makes me wonder whether I should visit them and have a conversation about the past, let them understand what they've done through a strong dose of "body language" that helps them feel the pain. you're a true friend Sannah Quote:
