One morning, I woke up and my first thought was to begin to write definitions. Feeling inspired, I went to the computer and the words flowed from my fingers. When I read the truths, I realized that the insights came from my heart, my work with clients, my intuition, and my own inner healing journey.

Therefore, I recognize that these definitions are subjective. You, as the reader, may have a different opinion. I encourage you to add, or edit what feels right to you. However, I do advise you to keep the definitions all positive. In other words, say what the truth is instead of what it is not.

I also suggest that if you create your own truths, make them specific, and let them help you clarify your beliefs, feel good to you, and inspire you to experience more success and happiness in your life. The more conscious you are of what you are thinking, the more you will be able to create the life you desire. You deserve a wonderful life. Go for it!
