===Lesson===
 
It is difficult to understand that many problems and hardships in life are caused by the inability to let go of old patterns of thinking, old expectations, and old ideas. Human beings tend to hold onto their tried and true patterns, the thought patterns that brought them to where ever they are now. It is exactly then that the old thinking can be dangerous.

Many of you have accomplished things in the past and you feel you have to come up to that level again. But, you may be limiting your scope in thinking about what it has to be or what you have to do. When you can genuinely say, "Father, for today just let me be me without requirements, without expectations, let me simply be the best me I can be", then you will find that spontaneous, creative self and this is what will bring you forward.Don’t be a slave to your own thinking and your own expectations. Release those chains and see what happens. Are there any questions at this time?

===Dialogue===
 
Q: I have a question regarding letting go of our expectations. I understand how that would work for me in certain instances, but if I have a goal or something that I want to achieve, if I feel like it harms no one and it would benefit me and others around me I do expect to achieve it. I am confused, can you explain a little more on that.

Ham: Of course my son, you are doing very well and are also making progress in loving yourself. It is true that the more you can love yourself, the more loving you can be with others. I would give you the same advice I gave Charlie. Don’t allow yourself to get away with subtle condemnations. You still have a tendency to beat up on yourself and to be quite rigid in your expectations for your achievements. So loosen up and release the burdens you place on yourself. Require self-forgiveness. We will discuss this more in depth at a later date.Are there any further questions? Very well then, until next week my love and my prayers are with you each, farewell.
