So, it's my sixth day of going through this course and right now I am finding it hard to sit still. Empowered doesn't begin to describe how I feel. Uninhibited, enlightened...these don't even make a dent in the description of what I am experiencing, right now, at this moment, because I CREATED IT. I came to this Avatar Course with what I thought was an open mind, but I now realize what open minded IS. There have been times in these last few days when I thought to myself, "This is ridiculous! What am I doing here?" But today, I am SO glad I toughed it out.

I can create my own reality!! My happiness, my sadness, my silliness, my seriousness; I feel so wonderful! I will never feel sad again unless I choose to. I will never feel anything less than this phenomenal feeling I feel at this moment, unless I choose to. Who knew that I was doing all this to myself? Avatar has shown me the power I've had all along and helped me choose my destiny. I feel like I can't even sit still right now because I can't contain the freedom I feel. So, thank you, Mr. Palmer, for helping me to have the choice to work toward an EPC!
