Key points
1
Our thoughts and beliefs shape our lives
We are all responsible for whatever goes on in our lives — the good and the bad. What we think for ourselves becomes our truth; our thoughts create our future.
Our experiences are based on the things we spend time thinking about and the words we speak.
Often, we give our power away by blaming other people for our frustrations and misfortunes. However, no person, place, or thing has any power over us, for we are the only thinkers in our minds.
When we feel like everyone is against us, it affects the events in our lives. But when we believe that everyone is helpful, we begin to receive help from all corners of the universe. Our beliefs will create different experiences, but one thing is for sure — what we believe about ourselves, and life becomes true for us.
Knowing the impact our thoughts and beliefs have in our lives and learning how to stay positive is the gateway to getting the best out of life. You Can Heal Your Life is just the medicine your life needs, as each chapter helps you overcome the victimhood that keeps you bedridden and live life limitlessly.

The real source of all human problems is the lack of self-worth and self-love
At the root of most of our problems is the fundamental belief that we are not good enough. Cries like “My body doesn’t work,” “My relationships don’t work,” “My life is in shambles,” and “My finances are a wreck” are results of lack of self-worth or self-love. The universe supports our thoughts and beliefs, so whatever our beliefs are about ourselves, they will be recreated as experiences.
