‘Mo…Mottthhher’ and
that initial word; ‘bad’
or ‘good’… it’s a single
word, but it’s very hard
to change from bad
to good. It’s easier to
say ‘bu’, ‘bu’; than ‘gu’,
‘gu’ – I’m just telling
you, phonetically – so,
to change the thought
from ‘bu’ to ‘gu’; bad
mother to good mother
is much more difficult.
That’s why it’s hard for
people to say; ‘I love
myself just the way I
am’.
MM: So it’s not that easy?
ML:
Of course not! ‘I.
LOVE. MYSELF. Just the
way I am’. NO! Because
you’ve said millions of
times, you have the
patterns in your brain,
thought patterns all
over the place: ‘I hate
my hips. I hate my hips’.
‘I hate my hair! I wish
I was…’ etc etc. You’ve
heard it thousands of
times! So you have to
dilute that with ‘I love
myself just the way I
am’. Louise Hays says
that every time you say
that you might hear a
negative thought pattern; no you don’t. You
hate your …. No you
don’t. You hate your
and that’s like a functional MRI as far as I’m
concerned. Every time
you say I love myself
just the way I am and
you hear a negative
thought pattern it’s like
doing a functional MRI.
NO! Oh my God, I just
picked another pathway! Another synapse.
So, you CAN change
a thought but to say
it’s easy is invalidating.

But I’m not saying it’s
impossible. I’m saying
it’s required. People say
to me on the phone:
‘But that’s hard!’, I say
‘You can, and you will’.
You can and you will
because the most valuable things are the ones
that are hard to get.
They’re called commodities. That is a real
commodity. You can and
you will do this, or you
don’t want to see me
driving up your driveway! Because I will!
