I think it is the burden of Hate or unforgiving. I work with horses and in this economy I see many people having to give up their beloved animals. For me the greatest burden is to witness so much suffering (human and animal) and to be able to do so little to change it. I have to admit, I have been going through ALOT of things in my life, that brings me to feelings of self dought, self worth, and honestly every possible feeling there is that is negative which keeps your spirit, emotions, and your mind at a place of pure darkness. In the last month I have spent more money in Borders Book Store, buying self-help, inspirational, and motiational books than I have in 36 yrs. With that I am a member of 7 different web-sites which offer any kind of self help from inner-self help to attitude adjusting. I check my e-mail daily and when I came accross the one fpr today stating "Do you see what I see?" I had to know what it was about and I did exactly what Ellie said to do, after that I ganced over to the right and came across this and read it. I immediately got that feeling of "excitement, and Oh I can't wait to start doing this so I too can start loing myself. I am filled with tremendous guilt concerning my 6 yr. old daughter, as stated above about all the books I've purchased one of them is "Children Learn What They LIve" which I purcchased because I always told myself that I would NEVER allow my children to feel, or see the things I had when I was a child. I know because of the childhood I had, is the primary reason I am insecure, and just the way I amand feel about myself today. I do not want my little girl to grow up with experiences I have endured throughout my life all because of the bad choses in men, friends, and everything else I have encountered due to the INSECURITY I felt/feel @ the time, because of the parenting , and situations I grew up with!! I struggle with the gulit on a daily bases, the realtionship I am in now, alot of argueing takes place which my daughter hears. There is alot more to this topic than I care to go into, through a comment post. I just after reading this article have a sense of excitement and joy come oer me and I wanted to let it be known. THANKS SO MUCH.. Ellie, I would love to chat with you on a one on one basis if you have the time. I am a member and you inspire me. It is a burden to believe in one's negative self-talk. Understanding the capacity of the mind to sabatoge has been crucial for my growth. I have delved into buddhism and other similar thinking to assist me in redefining myself. Jill MinnieRuth: I can relate to your feelings of guilt. But I've learned that guilt and beating up on myself leads to wasted potential. I then get stuck in the shoulda, woulda, coulda perspective. Learning about practices like EFT and energy work has helped. But more than anything, I've learned that forgiveness is a choice. I can choose to beat myself up and stay in the "poor me" place. Or I can choose to forgive myself. A coach once told me that the world needs what I have to offer. And when I beat myself up and feel guilty, I deprive the world of my greatness. So don't deprive the world of your greatness! We need what you have to offer. Acknowledge your feelings of guilt but don't stay there. Another mentor has given me some other tips of writing what i feel guilty about on toilet paper and flushing it down the toilet. Then choose to focus on what you are creating! Focus on the greatness that you are creating, what God is building through you! Have a blessed day! Blessings, Andrea Ellie: Thanks, for these wonderful words. The burden of guilt due to past mistakes and lack of money are my biggest burdens. If anyone out there have any advice on how I can work on ridding myself on the previously mentioned please let me know. Thanks; Minnieruth The burden of guilt is the biggest burden of all to me. Yesterday comes with it's mistakes. But to forgive yourself and others is a very much needed thing to move forward in life. Pray that we learn from our mistakes and keep it moving!! The burden of guilt id the biggest burden of all. Dearest Ellie, I couldn't agree more. When I was stuck and paralyzed, I was also suffering more than ever. Now that I am in motion, it matters not the destination, but the journey. Potential is only wasted when we are inactive. Inaction, for me, was primarily caused by fear which lessened with every step I took. I still get afraid, but it no longer keeps me from doing what I feel inspired to do. It is always about the first step....and then the next....and so on.....and the burden is relieved. I love you dearly.....you are such an inspiration.....I miss your smile and laugh!

Hi, Ellie, I remember hearing you talk about this "wasted potential" when I first met you a few years ago (already). I had been trying to settle into a state of mind where I didn't belong as a "domesticated wife" only to realize that the spirit within me was not about to be tamed. Through your mentoring and that of your awesome husband Charlie, I am continuing to reinvent my life from within so that I can be more accepting of that which is without...trusting that in time, what I do moment by moment will unleash my full potential until my purpose on this earth has been fulfilled and I am called home.

What a lovely way to look at what we all have inside and are able to develop if only we would say "YES I want to". Thank you so much for the vision... Ellie, Have you written about the inner real estate in a fuller way? This is a very exciting concept! Dr. Mary The burden of ....ADDICTIONS.... the biggest burden of ALL The world is at a turning point in the way the addictions are viewed We are transcending to a place where addictions can be treated with more compassion and love, recognizing the need for complete, holistic approach to the treatments . WE NEED to heighten public awareness about addictions within our society and inspire everyone to be more supportive and knowledgeable about substance use disorders, dependency, addictive behaviors and the recovery process. I am more powerful than the combined armies of the world… I have destroyed more men than all the wars of the nation… I have caused millions of accidents and wrecked more homes than all the floods, tornadoes and hurricanes put together… I find my victims among the rich and the poor alike… the young and the old, the strong and the weak…..I am everywhere in the home, on the street, in the factory, in the office, on the sea and in the air… I am relentless, insidious, and unpredictable… I am the world’s slickest thief… I steal billions of dollars each year… I bring sickness poverty and death… I give nothing and take all… I am your worst enemy… I am cunning, baffling and deceiving…I’m alcohol….I’m addiction…. Addiction is the number 1 disease in America and it’s a family disease. •1 in 4 adults in US suffer from addiction •1 in 3 families have at least 1 addicted member.. •Alcohol is the number 1 drug problem in America •Alcohol is involved in 50% of all driving fatalities, and every 30 minutes someone is killed Thank you for your words of wisdom Ellie. Both Fear and Wasted Potential are the biggest burdens of all. Fear because we do not want to look into the future with faith alone and say "Ok God, what is the next thing on the agentda" and leave it in His hands. We must see the path before us or we won't go there. Remember this: God told Abram to leave the land of his fathers and go whither he would lead. He did not give Abram a map, a star, a street. Wasted potential because we lack the faith to step out and place ourselves in God's hands for what He wants us to do. We would rather sit back until something hits us between the eyeballs and then say "Thank you God". God said many times "Go". This means actions. Passion - God's love for us when he made this world and put us here to have a relationship with him. Compassion - God's love for us when he put Christ on the Cross of Calvary Action - Putting feet to the fire and getting done what God has told us to do. The biggest burden of all is our own inability to step beyond the sin of self and take hold of the master's hand. Being the "Spiritual Person" that I am - my "burden" goes back to a mountain of fear - Also one mountain that I thought could not cross my lifes plain again. Whew! Then along came that dirty "C" word. Cancer is a HUGE burden and one that we cannot control. (in my opinion) Being a steadfast, inspired, loving, peaceful, person who believed we (husband and I) were so filled with the richness of these qualities, I find myself lost in the unknown fear factor with cancer issues. Is one of my "purposes" to be a Cancer Awareness Avocate? Is there a real reason for such a dreadful attacker to come into our lives again? This is the second "C" return in my life partner, my soul mate, my honey of 48 years and yes ...I have fallen short, I am not dealing with this burden well at all. (except in front of him, I put on the face well, to be supportive.) Right now, my decision to be strong for him is the only decision that I find myself able to think, do or be. We see the Onocologist again on Thursday to decide on his next step. Prayer is our power right now. With loving respect to all, Linda

We are exactly where we are suppose to be today and we have to know that it is OK as Everyday holds the Possibility for a Miracle. Being Rich doesn't always mean how much money you have? It truly is about how you feel within yourself every moment of the day. Its all the little things that make us Rich within and puts a smile on our face and in our hearts. Live each Moment as we are not promised the next? Wasted Potential? Hum I sit here and wonder, have I wasted my potential or am I just around the corner from my greatest Breakthrough in Life yet?
