Your birthright is worthiness. And you can enhance your life to experience a better future. So why do we get in our own way and make life more difficult than it needs to be? This is a question I’ve asked myself many times on my own journey. I know I’ve often been unkind to myself, been critical, not feeling good enough, or telling myself I just don’t have what it takes. And if this sounds familiar, here’s the truth: we have all been hypnotized to one degree or another by society’s expectations beginning at a young age. Break free I can’t speak for you, but I know I blindly followed society’s conventions to the letter. Those societal norms and expectations influenced me from a young age. Often making my life incredibly difficult and leaving me struggling to believe in my own worthiness. But life is so much more than that.…
Can dreams come true in the real world? Absolutely! And I’m not talking about dreams in the night. I’m speaking to the dreams you have for your life. And I’m sure there is more than one way to achieve this. But I can only speak to my own study, practice, and experience of turning the dreams for my life into a living reality. Things I’ve learned over the past 20 years. And even though you still have to put in the effort, I hope I can distill some of what I have gleaned to make it easier to start. So if you have ever wondered how to live your best life, begin with knowing your dreams. It sounds ridiculous, I know. But so many can only speak to what they don’t want without paying enough attention to what would make them the happiest. I’ve found it helps to take a…
Who couldn’t use effective mindsets that actually improve our life? Well maybe not you, in which case this article isn’t one you should bother reading. But if you could use a bit of improvement…maybe this can help. We live in a dynamic universe, a living, energy-filled system. As human beings, we have been gifted with the unique capability to imagine and visualize different scenarios and outcomes and make choices regarding the future life we desire. All of this with no regard whatsoever for the likelihood of it coming true. But likely or not, we have the power to imagine anything. This ability we human beings have is a pretty straightforward creative process. A process that I wish I had known about many years ago when life was a constant struggle, filled with fear, doubt, and disappointment. It would have been wonderful to let go of my propensity to worry about…
A continuing improved life is one of my ongoing desires. Each time I improve in one area, I give thanks and move on to the next. It’s a way of life that works out well for most of us. And then there’s this: An article I read recently talked sensibly about health, especially the need to cut back on caffeine by mid-day every day, and here it is five days later; it’s 3 pm, and I’m doing the very thing it was suggested not to do. How many of us do that? Read something, or listen to something that we know is valuable, yet nothing changes. We don’t change. The caffeine thing is just one of the many times I’ve briefly paid attention to something of value that soon fell by the wayside. The one piece of wisdom that not only got through to me but stuck with me and…
Tony Robbins says: The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships. And I can say hand on heart that I have found this to be an eternal truth in my life. With the added disclaimer that relationships are not always straightforward, though. Are they? And there’s nothing so painful as when relationships turn out badly. Let’s begin right at the beginning: You don’t get what you want; you get who you are So who are you in terms of relationships? Are you someone who has been hurt, wounded, or abused in some way? Do you have a perspective on relationships that are less than optimistic, perhaps downright pessimistic? And now you have no trust in healthy, happy relationships. If this is you, then this is what you’ll get. And this state of mind will never draw a lasting, loving relationship. Even if you desire to experience a…
