What Is the Cause of Most Problems?

February 1, 2006

" I FIND THAT RESENTMENT, CRITICISM, GUILT, AND FEAR CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS THAN

ANYTHING ELSE " Written by Louise L. Hay

" These four things cause the major problems in our bodies and in our lives.

These feelings come from blaming others and not taking responsibility for our

own experiences. You see, if we are all responsible for everything in our lives,

then there is no one to blame. Whatever is happening " out there " is only a

mirror of our own inner thinking. I am not condoning other people's poor

behavior, but it is OUR beliefs that attract people who will treat us that way.

" If you find yourself saying, " Everyone always does such and such to me,

criticizes me, is never there for me, uses me like a doormat, and abuses me, "

then this is YOUR PATTERN. There is some thought in you that attracts people who

exhibit this behavior. When you no longer think that way, they will go elsewhere

and do that to somebody else. You will no longer attract them.

" Following are some results of patterns that manifest on the physical level:

Resentment that is long held can eat away at the body and become the dis-ease we

call cancer. Criticism as a permanent habit can often lead to arthritis in the

body. Guilt always looks for punishment, and punishment creates pain. (When a

client comes to me with a lot of pain, I know they are holding a lot of guilt.)

Fear, and the tension it produces, can create things like baldness, ulcers, and

even sore feet.

" I have found that forgiving and releasing resentment will dissolve even

cancer. While this may sound simplistic, I have seen and experienced it

working. "
