IF IT’S SOMETHING I DO WANT … I talk about it, write freely about it, think endlessly of it, tell others all about it.IF IT’S SOMETHING I DON’T WANT … I don’t utter a single word! Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
I LOVE GETTING RESULTS … But I don’t sit around thinking about HOW to increase a clients revenue, I don’t really follow recommended “strategies” and I certainly don’t work out WHAT to do to make them extra money … I start each day wherever I am and get my energy aligned first, and then let the larger part of me, bring the ideas, the ways, the means and the inspiration for what to do next.I LIKE IT EASY!WORDS TO SOOTHE … relief, hope, comfort, secure, encouraging, faith, belief, peace, harmony, connection, touch, closeness, calm, soft, gentle, beautiful, fun, lightness, ease, pleasure, grateful, goodness, fulfilling, relaxed, purposeful, happy, uplifting, satisfying, enhancing, nice, eager, welcome, contented, home.WORDS TO INSPIRE … amazing, delightful, splendid, majestic, incredible, superb, brilliant, bountiful, blissful, luxurious, abundant, creative, excited, enchanting, exuberant, fabulous, fantastic, glorious, gracious, graceful, precious, knowing, ecstasy, elation, passion, romantic, joyful, wonderful, magnificent, freedom, appreciation, love.What words would you add to your list? ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
MY GOAL ACHIEVING PROCESS.I’m here. I want to be “here”. Let the FUN begin.Deciding to do it the fun way works every time! It might not come the way I think it will come, but I get to have REAL fun along the way and that’s what matters most.Elizabeth xox Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
Power in a relationship doesn’t come from the ability to control my partners behaviour!Real empowerment comes from knowing I can direct my focus and find a multitude of things that DO please me, that draw more of a positive response, that make me happy about who I’m being, that feel like heaven and that make me shine, despite how my partner might be behaving at the time. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
I took my own advice recently and now I’m having more fun (working) than ever before. What simple change did I make? “I stopped battling with my problems, and I’m making peace with them instead.” ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
You can’t go wrong. You can only lead yourself to greater clarity. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
I never do work that doesn’t thrill me, I wait to throw myself into something that inspires me beyond measure.I never date anyone just to pass the time, I wait for someone who makes each moment seem even more precious.I never buy something because it’s cheap, I wait until I see things that I adore no matter what they cost.I never worry I won’t get the things I want, I know that absolutely anything is possible and the incredible fun I have along the way, doesn’t feel like waiting at all. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I HAVE WANTED SOMETHING SO MUCH … that there was no room for doubt, no space for disappointment, no opportunity to lose hope, no need to talk about the past, no chance to go back … just a burning desire to allow myself to experience all the ins and outs associated with living, learning, laughing and loving in the grandest possible way. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
When something upsets me, I have two basic choices:1. To hate what’s happening and make myself feel imprisoned by the circumstances,OR2. To find benefit in what’s happening and set myself free.What are you choosing? ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
Too often we get bogged down in the “who did what to who” story … KEEP GOING FOR THE DREAM!It isn’t the other person we need to let go of, it isn’t the “attachment” we need to let go of, it isn’t the situation we need to let go of … we just need to keep holding on to our DREAM.Letting go assumes that someone can hold us back. Just keep going for the dream. Keep going for the dream. Keep going for the dream. They’ll either come along for the ride or someone else will jump on board.Go for your DREAM and lead the way, back into the light! ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
There’s always something to be happy about, just the way things are, just the way you are and just the way I am RIGHT NOW! ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS WHAT I’M GIVING MY ATTENTION TO RIGHT NOWI’m not a failure, I’m just learning more. Nothing is wrong, in fact everything is going perfectly right. I don’t need to hold onto the thoughts that cause more pain, I can relax and allow feelings that bring relief. This situation doesn’t need to cause me despair, I can activate the aspects that have positive benefits. That conversation need not bother me, I can remember having discussions that thrilled me beyond description. The person who did something that was disrespectful or hurtful, isn’t doing that because of who I am, they’re just expressing where they’re currently at. It’s not necessary to be critical of who I was being yesterday, I can pay more attention to what I already do well now. I don’t have to focus on the worst, I can keep reaching for something a little bit better. I’m not always disconnected, quite often I feel the fullness of “all that is”. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON … but not because God caused it, not because of karma, not because it was destined, not because it was written in the stars, not because the planets were aligned in a certain way and not even because we have a lesson to learn … Have you noticed that we get more of what we complain about, we get what we are afraid of, we get what the most powerful influence in our peer group dictates, we get what we allow, we get what we believe we are worth, we get what we expect, we get what we focus our attention upon, we get what we truly love and appreciate, we get more of what we keep talking about … we get what we are a vibrational match to!THE GOOD NEWS IS … it doesn’t matter what other people around us are thinking, doing or attracting into their life, it only takes ONE person who is vibrant, loving, happy, energetic, accepting and deeply connected to their own inner guidance to change the attraction point of an entire family, a community or even millions of people (just as Martin Luther King Jnr, Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama have done) … and the person who can make the most profound impact of all right now, is YOU! ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
I’VE STOPPED ANALYSING PROBLEMS – completely!Instead I explore what’s working – happily, joyfully, faithfully, playfully, lovingly, endlessly. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
THINGS I CAN CONTROL My ability to choose a better thought My freedom to change direction My decision to be fully aware in this moment My present attitude My current opinion My repetitive beliefs My direct focus My intention to feel good My choice to give My openness to receiveTHINGS I CAN INFLUENCE My alignment My energy level My weight My health My mood My vibe My charisma My inner spark My friends My bank manager My enjoyment of life, just as it is Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
The only thing that ever needs to change, is what I’m giving my attention to. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
I am thankful for the most amazing relationships, that keep expanding my capacity to love and contribute unconditionally. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
My 9 MOST VALUABLE INSIGHTS AFTER BEING FIRED.1. The person who hired (or engaged) you is not necessarily the person you need to impress, no matter what their status is in the company.2. When someone seems to take an instant dislike to you, the more you try to get them to like you (or to find out why they don’t like you), the deeper the hole you dig for yourself.3. Getting fired, terminated, dismissed, laid off, retrenched, discharged or whatever verb you’d like to include on this list, may have nothing to do with the quality of your work or how valuable an asset you can be to a business. Don’t take it personally. Nothing is worth a heavy heart.4. Stay true to you, and if you gave up a part of yourself in order to satisfy what someone else wanted, just claim that part back now. Who you really are is always standing right by your side no matter how far away you think you’ve gotten.5. Spend as little time as possible thinking about what you might have done differently. Sometimes (probably mostly) there is nothing for you to change – except, what you decide to focus your attention on right now.6. No matter what it might look like on the surface, something even better will bubble up from beneath the disappointment, loss or sadness. All you need do next is to stay open to possibilities, to trust your instincts and keep moving forward.7. Concentrate on what you enjoyed the most about the job, or the people, or the environment, or the potential you saw way back in the beginning – talk about it, write it down, think about it ‘til the cows come home. Let THAT be the energy that draws the next exciting adventure towards you, effortlessly, beneficially and nourishingly.8. Affirm who you know you really are when you’re feeling your best. “I am brilliant, I am wise, I am creative, I am innovative, I am a leader, I am incredibly good at what I do, I am a winner, I am guided, I am loved, I am free, I am clear about what’s right for me …9. Imagine that this is a wonderfully, valuable experience, and remember, in the words of Abraham Hicks, “The entire Universe is knocking itself out, to give you everything you want!” Let that be your mantra!

I am thankful for the peace, the warmth and the euphoria I feel when I breathe deeply into the fullness of Source. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
It doesn’t matter what I do, or if I do nothing at all, I just can’t stop the flow of wonderful things coming to me. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
EVERY STRONG NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE … helps me define more clearly, the even stronger positive experience I want to create instead.AND WHEN I’M READY, I BLESS PAST EXPERIENCES AND SAY … THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME WHERE I WAS OFF TRACK … thank you for providing a solid example of what I no longer want in my life and thank you for helping me move powerfully forward, towards the improved quality of life that I’ve been wanting all along. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
I don’t speak badly about others, not because I’m trying to be a goody goody, but because it stuffs up my own energy, every time I do. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
It doesn’t matter that I sometimes get hurt; I NOW intend to accept it as part of growth.It doesn’t matter that I want more than I’ve got; I NOW intend to appreciate what I already have.It doesn’t matter if I don’t like what I see; I NOW intend to look deeper (or look elsewhere) until I see what I like.It doesn’t matter when I make a mistake: I NOW intend to forgive myself quickly.It doesn’t matter that I’ve experienced failure; I NOW intend to focus on my successes.It doesn’t matter that I sometimes think negative thoughts; I NOW intend to change them as fast as I can.It doesn’t matter that I find it hard to dream; I NOW intend to keep on imagining.It doesn’t matter that I occasionally feel bad; I NOW intend to keep my heart open to the good things life brings.It doesn’t matter that I sometimes lose faith; I NOW intend to trust in the process.It doesn’t matter if I feel like giving up; I NOW intend to keep giving more.It doesn’t matter if I wonder where life is taking me; I NOW intend to go with the flow of the stream.It doesn’t matter that I can’t change things for those I care about the most: I NOW intend to believe they have the capability to change things for themselves.It doesn’t matter that I sometimes feel lost; I NOW intend to believe that my higher self always knows where I am and continually shines the brightest light to guide me safely home.CONFESSION #1027 – Book 3 Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
I give myself permission to FOLLOW MY DREAMS, to find peace, to get relief, to feel liberated, to live in comfort, to work with passion, to have everything I truly want, to love with all my heart … without questioning if it will sustain me, make money for me or provide income into the future.When I follow my dreams without doubt, question or fear, a way is provided and the path is made clear. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
I don’t let my mood take control of me. I choose to love, to open, to trust, to sense the ease of letting go, to feel the peace in the purity of my heart, to breathe with depth, to allow spirit to move through me, to give rise to my inner desires, to live with gay abandon, forever putting my faith in a benevolent universe to continually show me whether I’m activating my deepest fears or my grandest dreams. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
It’s the perfect time, I’m in the best place, I’ve experienced enough contrast, I know how to make it fun and I’ve created the ideal conditions, to move boldly towards my dreams. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
I KNEW SOMETHING FABULOUS WOULD HAPPEN … not because I have premonitions, but because one day I simply decided it would, and held on to my knowing so quietly and faithfully, that it had to come true. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
IT’S SUSTAINABLE … if it’s interesting if it’s fun if it provides something useful if it warms your heart if it’s exciting if it’s light-hearted if it moves you if it causes expansion if it brings you into alignment if it’s exhilarating if it calls you into throes of ecstasy.IT’S COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE … if you are doing it because it’s time to get serious if you are doing it because someone else thinks it’s a good idea if you are doing it because you need to feel significant or worthy if you are doing it because you’ve found fault with yourself if you are doing it because you’re trying to impress anotherDo it because it makes you feel good, not because you think you should. ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
I AM WHERE I AM, and it’s the perfect place to start. I HAVE what I have, and it’s more than enough. I AM CREATING what I’m creating by what I think, say and do. I AM GOING where I’m going and a thousand angels are with me too.An excerpt from 500 Confessions that always bring me back into closer alignment with MY Source. Sometimes just taking the time to remember the way the words rhyme is enough to slow down any negative energy and start me in an upward direction once again. Simple Mantras like these are priceless. ~ Elizabeth xox Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
I’m OK when something doesn’t turn out. It always means that something better is on its way instead.Such a comforting thought isn’t it! ~ ER Elizabeth Richardson - AUTHOR OF 500 CONFESSIONS
