I have a magic vase.

With it you can manifest whatever you desire.

What would you be willing to trade me, for this powerful magic?

Would you be willing to trade away your fears, to get what you want? How about your anger—would you trade it away? Maybe your procrastination, your doubts, and your negative thinking?

To have what you want, you need to lighten your load. You can do without these burdens. All those negatives you are carrying around block the magic that is within you.

Set down your anger and resentments. To carry these requires a major expenditure of energy and provides you no value.

Release your guilt. If you made a mistake, that’s a shame—but I guess that means you are human. Look at what happened, and learn from it. Clarify what to do, and what not do, in the next similar situation. Resolve in your mind that you’ll do that unwanted behavior no more. Then, move on into a more free life.

Do you want to take an action that would be good for you or those you care about, but you don’t because of fear, worry or anxiety? Lay them aside. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.” Do all experiments work the first time—practically never! So—experiment.

Trade away having to always be right, or having to win the discussion. Ever talk with someone and while they are telling you their perspective, you are mentally forming your rebuttal? Stop! Listen! Even if it makes you uncomfortable—listen to see if you can understand their point-of-view. Both you and they benefit.

Drop negative focus and negative self-talk from your life—now! When you do this, you will immediately feel lighter. You will truly feel as if you’ve stopped carrying a burden.

The magic vase with your fondest desires is waiting for you. You just need to lighten your load.
