Ever Take Things Personally

“It’s not about you. It never was. It never will be.”

Dear You:

The other day someone that I love was so angry and it seemed to be directed right at me. But I knew it wasn’t about me and at the same time it sure looked that way.

I know that when I take something personally, it’s only because I’m judging myself for exactly what the other person is judging me about. Sometimes it’s not even their judgment, it’s actually my interpretation.

All I know is that whatever is going on with the other person is about them. Just the same as whatever is going on with me is about my past. In the end, if one of us can get to neutrality and compassion about ourselves or the other, we not only free ourselves, but that same compassion and love frees the other.

You can trust one thing; that there’s no such thing as a perfect person. Expecting anything else will result in a lot of upset in your life.

You just have to decide whether you’re committed to protecting yourself by holding others in judgement or being the cause for more love in the world by healing your own heart, and then sharing your heart with others.

Love you!

P.S. I just stayed neutral as the other person decided to walk away and get back in their heart. Of course it all ended in a big hug. Sometimes it takes an hour and sometimes it can take a year. Are you willing to leave the time and space for love to win?

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?

Apr 8, 2024

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.

Should we only do things that ‘feel good’?

Should we only do things that ‘feel good’?

Well, you might be surprised to hear me say absolutely not.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about deliberately forcing ourselves to do things that feel awful.

It’s just that I hear so many people saying… “only do it if it feels good”.

Here’s the issue with that:
