My birthday was approaching and I was thinking of what I wanted as a present if the Universe could give me anything I wished? It was not what I was expecting.
Image of my parents holding me and smiling at me appeared. I became overwhelmed emotionally. I cried for a while. I pondered about this issue for several days.
I realized that I was seeking unconditional love and safety from my parents who physically can no longer provide. I then concluded that needed to become my own parents to grant my wish.
I asked myself what can I do to feel safe and loved 24 hours a day?
I realized my own thoughts are the biggest source of my fear, worry and unease. I also realized nobody can manage or protect me from my thoughts better than myself.
On my birthday, I wish to unconditionally love myself and feel safe by letting go of thoughts and beliefs that are terrorizing me - something any loving parent would do.
What present do you desire for your birthday?

You've given us some good advice. I think we'd all be freer and more happy if we did that our thoughts get to us. Things don't always turn out the way we fear. Life tends to get better every year, in spite of our attempts at making it more difficult. ;-)
