Are you willing to pay for the baggage? Are you willing to pay for the baggage that you are carrying with you? Not to the airport, but that baggage of guilt. That's the baggage that you are paying for every day, every minute, every hour of your life after that divorce. Are you willing to pay it and the answer is, "no", and here's how to handle it. You sit down, and you close your eyes and you see this big bag and you take all of that guilt and put that into the bag and you see yourself tying the top of that big bag closed, like a sea bag, if you will, that the Marines and Navy use. And you tie it shut, and you put it over your shoulder, and you walk across that bridge, cause that bridge is the new bridge to your new life. And when you're walking across that bridge, you take that baggage and you throw it off your shoulder into the sea and you keep going because that's the guilt that you're carrying after that divorce. Get ride of the baggage, because if you take that baggage to that new relationship, that new person, you will not be successful. The guilt is the baggage that you need to get rid of. This is Dr. Paul. May your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow."
