How to Be Happy and Successful Now

We sabotage ourselves in a multitude of ways, such that we perpetually withhold from ourselves all the goodies the universe has to offer, blaming it all the while on bad luck or it being someone else’s fault, rather than acknowledging that we are the prime movers of our destiny, that we are responsible for the lack and limitations in our lives, and nobody else. On a conscious level we want to win, but on a deep, unconscious level, we are filled with guilt, shame, self-condemnation, and self-loathing, such that, rather than believing that we are worthy of winning and deserving of abundance and success, we believe that we are sinners deserving of punishment, suffering and failure. All of this is below our conscious awareness. Our subconscious mind, intent on manifesting what we believe about ourselves at a deeply-embedded, unconscious level, believes our own harsh judgments about ourselves, and punishes us for our “sins.” It does this by sabotaging our conscious efforts. It generates resistance and roadblocks. It attracts inferior elements. It encourages miscommunication, chaos, and confusion. The end result is an external world that reflects our internal self-concept. The end result is our not getting what we want. The only way to reverse this process, in order to generate sustainable success and prosperity, is to put an end to our guilt, shame and self-loathing by forgiving and loving ourselves. The only way to forgive and love ourselves is to first forgive and love others. Be cynical and skeptical of spiritual principles yielding material success if you wish, but keep an open mind and continue reading because this is not magical thinking. This is not New Age psychobabble. This is a system of success that I have developed over twenty years of working with patients with a wide variety of emotional difficulties and physical obstacles in their lives. This is a system of success that works if you work it consistently and diligently. All you’ve got to do is practice the principles of my Forgiveness Diet. The Forgiveness Diet is a daily regimen of thoughts, actions and exercises devoted to extending unconditional forgiveness, acceptance, and love. It is a daily regimen of estimable acts of kindness and service to others. When we have mastered the Forgiveness Diet, our subconscious mind believes we are good enough and worthy of reward, at which point it stops sabotaging our efforts and starts constructing the synchronistic attraction of synergistic people and circumstances that will favor our prosperity and success in all realms. In other words: The Forgiveness Diet is the ultimate success principle! The reason why many of us have difficulty believing this is true is because we’ve been trained to believe that nice guys finish last, that no good deed goes unpunished, and that love, kindness and forgiveness are for chumps and suckers. Nothing could be further from the truth. These are self-destructive messages generated by our subconscious mind to support its self-sabotaging agenda to derail us from healing ourselves and attracting abundance into our lives. Although it is obvious that many people who are loathsome, selfish, unloving and hurtful towards others have succeeded and prospered, for most of us who mean no harm to others, emulating people like that will not deliver us what we want. If we repair ourselves by extending unconditional forgiveness, acceptance and love to everyone, under all circumstances, without exceptions, we can replace our self-loathing with self-loving, thereby putting an end to our self-sabotage, such that our subconscious mind works with us rather than against us to attract and manifest everything we’ve ever wanted. The best part about the Forgiveness Diet is that we don’t need to understand it for it to work. We don’t even need to believe it. Additionally, we don’t need to gain any deep insights about ourselves in order to get results. We just need to do it. We just need to implement a few basic behaviors and practices on a consistent basis until they become habits. But don’t take my word for it. Take the Forgiveness Diet 90-Day Challenge. Rather than rejecting the Forgiveness Diet as magical or wishful thinking without giving it a try, follow it rigorously for 90 days and find out for yourself what it has to offer. Make the decision to put aside your skepticism, negativity, cynicism and doubt for 90 days in order to work the program as vigorously and as honestly as you possibly can. What have you got to lose? What’s 90 days in the bigger scheme of things? What’s 90 days in the expanse and duration of your life? It’s nothing. So what if you spend 90 days being generous, esteeming others, and forgiving them their trespasses? What’s the downside? There really isn’t any. If you decide after 90 days that the experience was not transformative and was a complete waste of time, which I guarantee won’t be the case, you will have the rest of your life to be angry, vengeful, withholding, thoughtless, selfish and self-centered, and to see where that gets you. But if I’m right in encouraging you to devote a mere 90 days of your life to the Forgiveness Diet, you will greatly appreciate the experience you put yourself through, you will experience fewer obstacles in your life, you will be happier, more productive, and more successful, and you will gladly continue to engage in the Forgiveness Diet program.
