You have nothing to gain by freaking out.
The next time a challenging situation presents itself, take a pause and make the conscious choice to meet it with curiosity or humor or the knowledge that this too shall pass.
I realize I’m making it sound like we’re all crazy, but that’s because we kind of are.
7. LOVE YOURSELF More than you love your drama.
Money always comes to you through other people, but it comes from Universal Intelligence, as do all things. Which is why focusing on the frequency of your thoughts, not the people you hope to make money from, is the key to getting rich.
Your focus needs to be on your desire for this money and what it’s for, your excitement to share something of value with someone in order to obtain the money, your clarity on how joyful it will make that person, your gratitude that this money is coming to you, oh hell yes it is, and your belief that the Universe has got your back.
When it comes to changing your life, if you’re not scared, you’re doing something wrong.
Even something as minor as leaving a big tip for a waitress, or picking up, instead of passing by, a quarter laying on the street, or letting your neighbor pay you for watching her dog all day, which you totally would have done for free – that’s all coming from an energy of abundance and a healthy, happy appreciation for money.
Our fantasies are our realities in an excuse-free world.
You can take your life wherever you want it to go, so grab it by its nether regions and make doing the things you love a priority.
The only failure is quitting.
There’s a great Hindu story about a lady who wanted to meet the god Krishna. So she went into the forest, closed her eyes, and prayed and meditated on making the god appear and lo and behold, Krishna came wandering down the forest path toward her. But when Krishna tapped the lady on the shoulder, she, without opening her eyes, told him to get lost because she was busy meditating on a very important goal.
And if we just stopped by for the occasional visits to the future and past, that would be one thing, but the amount of time we spend chewing on junk-food thoughts about what-ifs and how-comes – Lawd help us!
No matter how clueless you may feel right now, pay attention to suggestions and opportunities that suddenly present themselves. And notice how you feel – is there something for you that, for whatever reason, feels like it might be good to check out?
Take the first step in the direction toward something that feels right and see where it leads you. And do it NOW. 3.
As Winston Churchill so aptly explained, “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
Where there’s a will there’s a way; we just prefer to pretend there isn’t a way so we don’t have to take responsibility and do the uncomfortable stuff required to grow.
All of us are connected to this limitless power and most of us aren’t using but a fraction of it.
This is about getting mighty clear about what makes you happy and what makes you feel the most alive, and then creating it instead of pretending you can’t have it. Or that you don’t deserve it. Or that you’re a greedy egomaniacal fathead for wanting more than you already have. Or listening to what Dad and Aunt Mary think you should be doing.
On the other side of your fear is your freedom.
