Your LIFE is in the PALM OF YOUR HANDS!

This is my Lesson Plan from Chapter 3 in "Betting on Yourself" by Dr. Robert Anthony.
Written in January, 2009.

Probability? Statistics?

I have always hated these terms. I always heard
things like “you’ll probably be pregnant by the time you’re 16” or “you’ll
probably never get married” or “you’ll probably end up in jail like your dad”

And statistics? What are the statistics that a young unwed mother will
end up on welfare? Or what are the odds that a high school drop out will never
have a high paying job?

I have always tried to defy the law of
probability and statistics, which only resulted in my limited outlook on life. I
never used the term “superstitious” but I made myself believe that all my
misfortunes and bad experiences were a result of a “curse” or “spell” that was
cast upon my mother before my birth. In fact, I told myself that lie for over 20
years.

Had I realized that I was the creator of my life, I could have
taken the necessary steps to make changes long ago. Instead I held on to my
superstitious beliefs and it caused me at times, unbearable pain, hurt and
anger.

Only in the past year have I received the knowledge that I am
responsible for everything in my life. It was a tough pill to swallow at first,
because how can I blame myself for the awful things that have happened to me?
But with the help of MFF over the past 5 months. I have learned not only how to
accept it, but WHY I have created the life that I have. My reality is the direct
result of choices I have made, not the result of some “curse” that was presented
to me at birth.

And just the fact that I am now aware of this, in all
probability, I can now change my life. And that is a probability that I can
accept.
