What if you were to stop trying to prove yourself?

Want to experience true freedom?

From The Wide Awakening Weekly

“What would guide your actions if you were no longer trying to prove your worth, or to adhere to the definitions of who you are supposed to be? Only you can determine that, but I do know that you would finally be truly free.”

Hi There –

I was in beautiful Ireland last week with a group of amazing leaders, and was struck by the thirst, the heart and the open minds of the women and men I met. My heart is so full. I realized in our conversations that the only true jail we live in is the one in our mind. It’s the jail of the shoulds, have to’s, and need to’s, based on thousands of years of human history where we have collected the story for what it is to be a man or what it is to be a woman, or even what it is to be human.

Beyond the confines of the man-made paradigms lies the truth of who we are. We are Free. We are Expansive. We are Creative. We are Children of Life, living as adult 3-year-olds in wonderment at the privilege it is to be alive.

So, if you decided right now to hold all definitions of who you are very loosely, and to stop judging yourself against another’s definition (the billions of people who went before you), how much extra time would that create?

Hey, just bending time a little for you, adding hours to your day… just for something to do, since I had some extra time on my hands!

Being Happy 101

Being Happy 101

Being Happy 101 – With the next Flight School (our nine-month program) about to start, I’m aware of some pretty powerful insights about my own life, ten of them in fact!

One: Reacting to circumstances definitely leads to drama. Drama always takes me out of my knowing, distracting me from my connection with Innate Wisdom.

Two: My happiness absolutely cannot come from circumstances changing. My happiness must be accessible, regardless of circumstances. It cannot be dependent on how the world is, how the people in my life behave, or an expectation that everything should be perfect. Everything is becoming which, by definition, means it isn’t perfect.

Three: It’s not my job to carry the weight of the world. My job is to show up in love and compassion. It’s not my job to make other people happy but rather to learn to be grounded in my heart. It’s not my job to protect my heart but to emanate from the heart.

What if all the beliefs that you adhere to aren’t even yours?

What if all the beliefs that you adhere to aren’t even yours?

Something happened this week that was such a great reminder to remain humble, and know that we are all human. It also reminded me that we are all human and any beliefs that anyone is better than you or I, are simply old beliefs.

This week I was on a beautiful cheer-fest for Money and You with my dear friend Doria Cordova with well-known thought leaders from all over the world. It was a privilege to be included.

The leaders that have taken Money and You are all incredibly humble and so smart…..and you probably know their names; Jack Canfield, Ken Honda just to name a few.

And, there was a leader who was there that behaved a little differently than the others. He also did not exude the humility of the rest. And I realized that he had stuck beliefs and was being righteous, and that I had beliefs about how he should be.

Why is the paradigm for prosperity shifting?

Why is the paradigm for prosperity shifting?

The paradigm for prosperity is shifting and the laws of physics give me great hope, here’s why!

Most of us aren’t present to the shifts happening around us because we’re so distracted by the noise.

Globally, wars, political differences, media streaming, fear-based rhetoric, and divisive communications create polarity. Simultaneously, that polarity and struggle is birthing ideas being acted upon by the younger generation as it sits in the ‘dark matter’ of consciousness, waiting in the sub-atomic spaces to be birthed!

Metaphysically speaking, for every problem there is already an existing solution as it’s part of how the Universe stays in balance.
