The Letter I Would Write to My Past Self.

Dear Past Kevin,
I am writing to let you know that I have seen your future and everything is fine – that is, everything is as it needs to be. I wanted to drop you a line to make your trip here a little easier. I hope that you will pay attention and trust the process, but I know you will only be able to apply this information when you are ready.
I have been watching you and I can see you have not yet reached the level of success that you wish to achieve. Be patient, you will discover it. I know this to be true because it already exists, it is just waiting for you.
When you see this success come into your awareness, you will be amazed at its simplicity and you will wonder why you didn’t see the path to achieve it earlier. When that happens Kevin, you may be tempted to judge yourself in a negative manner. Don’t waste your time. Instead of contemplating your past ignorance, celebrate your new awareness and look to the horizon for more.
But I have to tell you that in order to achieve this new level of awareness, you’re going to have to get rid of some things you have been carrying around with you. I know you don’t see it, and that is why I had to write to you.
You see, I have learned that there are laws of this world that can’t always be seen, but they are as certain as the Law of Gravity. I noticed that you are unknowingly fighting against them, and that will hold you back from everything you want in life.
Kevin, for just a moment imagine jumping repeatedly in the air for years straight, hoping that one day you would jump up and remain afloat. Yes, of course that would be ridiculous! We know this is ridiculous because we are all aware of the Law of Gravity. But that is exactly what I see you doing. You are fighting against a different, but just as certain law. You are fighting against a law of energy that will dictate your future.
You see Kevin, everything you do is a result of energy you absorb. A thought, a vision, the sight of someone crossing the road – everything you see and do in this world is passing energy – always. You must choose to surround yourself with those things that provide a positive energy in your life. More importantly you need to recognize and rid your thoughts of those things that produce negative energy in your life.
Kevin, success is a fruit and it has already been provided to you in the form of a seed, but you have to BE the fertile environment and energy in which it can blossom. I can see you are doing the right things, but you are not yet BEING the right thing. Doing the right things while holding on to that which produces negative energy prevents you from BEING the right thing. It is no different than the recovering alcoholic that no longer drinks and faithfully attends meetings – but can’t quite throw away the stash of booze in the closet. He is doing the right things, but as long as he holds tightly to that which exudes negative energy – that which is not in harmony with what he desires - he will never BE the right thing. He will continue to make toxic the soil in which the seed of success and happiness must grow. Doing the right things is simply not enough.
Kevin, you have to look at the counterproductive energy that you allow to reside in your life. It is taking up valuable real estate. I am telling you now to rid yourself of any thoughts, feelings, people, and things that are in your possession that are not in harmony with the happiness you seek.
Everything you do is a result of the energy you absorb. I am writing to bring to your awareness this law that is as certain as the Law of Gravity. Energy is everywhere and in everything. And if the energy in your life is not in line with what you want, seek it out and rid yourself of it without delay. I have reached success, and I can tell you that there is no room for that here.
Future Kevin
