Your Beliefs Determine Your Possibilities
Your beliefs about what is possible in your life determines the field of possibilities from which you choose your future realities. Many people on earth suffer greatly because they perceive only a limited field of possibility for themselves.
If a person grows up in painful and difficult circumstances, for example, they may develop a belief that their field of possibilities is limited to painful and difficult options. Due to this belief, they are unable to see other options. In this way, a person might re-create painful and difficult circumstances throughout their life. This is a misunderstanding that stems from over identification with physical reality – specifically, with one's past. If you experienced pain and suffering in the past and you become identified with it, you see your self as pain and suffering and adopt the identity of "one who experiences pain and suffers." From the perspective of this identity self, you go about your life "as if" you are destined to experience pain and suffering throughout your life.
This is a matter of choice. You can just as easily choose an identity self who is experiencing peace and joy -- regardless of the circumstances of your past.
Choosing an Identity Self Aligned with Joy and Peace
In much the same way that you may have previously seen yourself as "one who experiences pain and difficulty," you can choose to see yourself as "one who experiences joy and peace." You can choose to adopt the identity of "one who loves and is loved," or "one who is abundant and giving," or even as one who is "ecstatically creative and giving birth to great works of art and other forms of expression that help enliven and liberate human consciousness."
In order to step fully into a positive and empowered identity self, some may need to experience the process of "releasing past negative and limiting identities." In this way, you are able to adopt a "transitional bridging identity self" that is experiencing the process of completing with and releasing old identities in preparation for adopting a new positive and radiant identity self.
Understand, as a vast, infinite being, you are able to adopt any identity self you choose at any moment. However, on the earth plane, strong thoughtforms exist about the need for "gradient" or step-by-step transitions. If this method works best for you within the moment, then by all means, feel free to utilize this more gradual process. But even as you undertake a step-by-step transition from a negative to positive identity self, hold in your awareness that you are fully able to choose new identities and realities "within the moment" and that you may prefer this instant transition at some point in the future.
