The fear of telling the truth

A Facebook Friend asked this question: Without going into a lot of detail, I am in a situation that I have to correct a wrong and make a confession. It is something that I have put off for a long time, and making the correction is making me fearful and the putting things off has made things worse, like a vicious circle. I know what I need to do, but am afraid to do it (because of potential consequences) and feel lots of bad energy, almost like when you were a little kid and afraid of your parent's punishment.
Any advice how to handle this from a law of attraction perspective?

My Dear, you are letting yourself be pulled in two different directions - of course this will tear you apart. You have to line-up with one decision and make it good - meaning you need to pick a side and appreciate it so much that the positive momentum you generate as a result washes everything else out. 

If you want to confess - all you have to do is to say good things about this decision - "I will feel so much better afterwards. Holding on to it has been making me feel bad, and I've reached a point where it isn't worth it to hold on to it, in order to let it go I have to confess - it's like ripping a band aid off - the process hurts but it feels better after. I am a good person at heart, and I want to do what I think is right - everyone makes mistakes, and I have learnt something important about myself. I know now that I'm the sort of person who values having everything out in the open - it feels better to me. And I know that there will be consequences but I also know that Source is always leading me to what is good for for me - I like knowing that. I trust knowing that. Things are always working out for me.

People I care about can see that I care about them, and with time they will come around because the way they behave towards me has to do with the way I think about them. I choose to think about them with love. I send them love and I want them to feel the love that I am sending their way. I want them to be happy. I want them to leave things behind in the same manner that I want to. I want there to be harmony and love in my life and in all my relationships. I want my inner-being to guide me about what to say and how to say it. I want the right words to be inspired to me, and more than anything else I want to manage my own vibration. I think I will appreciate the world around me, I will appreciate the flowers and the trees and the birds. There are so many good things in the world to appreciate. I will line up with appreciation and I know that as long as I do that the Universe will always manage the rest and good things will come my way. 

Things are always working out for me - things are always working out for me. I can create a wonderful future because I know it is all about appreciation. I know how to appreciate - that's all there is to it - I think I can do this, I know I can do this, I will do this and things will turn out alright for me. All is well." This is the sort of self-talk you need. 

​When you were a kid the reason you were afraid of your parents imposed punishment on you is because you thought that their opinion of you was more important than your opinion of yourself. You were taught that by them and by the world around you. You know better know. You know that you don't need to see yourself through the eyes of anyone else. You are an extension of Source just like everyone and everything on this planet, no one is better than you - we are all the same. You have created contrast in your own life and in the life of others and the thing about contrast is that it is a good thing, it helps us to expand and become more. How people deal with contrast is up to them - it is not your job to make things better for anyone. The reason you are fearful just now is because you are looking at yourself through their eyes and not finding yourself good enough. 

In reality, it is up to them how they deal with the contrast you have created for them - they can use it as an opportunity to grow more or they can use it as a reason to go down the emotional scale - it's not your job to do it for them. However, if you become one who stays lined up and sends them love, you will call them up the emotional scale and from there they will see things differently, for no one can be at the top of the emotional scale and feel hate or any other negative emotion. When it is said "you have to rise above this" what is really meant is that you can go up the emotional scale no matter what - and so can they. How we look at things is a choice - an individual choice.
