    I use either but always wondered which was correct. Perhaps it differs in different countries. Like in the USA 'Z' gets used a lot more than in words here. eg Socialize vs socialise.

    I too had got the same email long ago, and I still remember it.. Its so true, it is our thought and belief systems that set a limit to our capabilities.

    Having been incontinent all my life, I can relate well to the story. Feeling sorry for myself in my younger days, but kicked myself in the butt and moved on. Always trying new products and trying to keep a positive perspective on my life.

    I liked this part the best.

    "Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life."

    Still, like most things, it is easier said than done. I will try to keep this in mind when I have my bad days full of doubts.

    A very appropriate message for me at this time in my life and I thank you for sharing. Looking into my own mirror I see a woman who has overcome a lot in life so far. Changes are in the works for a better life that I embrace totally. This reinforces my abilities and strengths. A new life full of what my heart desires is now present and keeps me focused. The future is full of good and positive feelings. My new life is happening and I am finally becoming the person I was meant to be. Getting to the place where my life journey has traveled for so long. A place of peace and acceptance. A place that I deserve. Blessings,D.

    Don't let your life be framed by self doubt and low self esteem. No one of us is perfect.....we ALL have issues to be dealt with...every single one of us!!! You are unique in the universe....remember that. If you need help to conquer your fearsand attain insight find a good therapist. I searched for many years before the right one appeared. I was absolutely ready for her, and into my life she arrived. The change has been remarkable, and I am finally at peace (I had suffered for most of my life with what the same feelings are dealing with now, so I can truly empathize with you. I don't know how old you are, but it is never too late to change. If you would like to write to me, I will most definitely answer.....my heart aches for you. Thank you for sharing your story. Namaste, Marion
