What Do You Need In Order To Be Happy?
Do You Expect Others and Situations to Change Before You Can Be Happy?
Even though you believe the words: “Be the change you seek”, are you still waiting for peace to arrive?
You may be convinced that you’d be happy if your family appreciated you more, if your bank account was full, or if you could finally take the two-week break that you need so badly.
But, if you believe that your happiness will only happen when circumstances change and others shift their behavior, you are giving your power away and that will leave you feeling inadequate, and powerless.
Although you may wish to live in the higher realm of who you are, if your actions speak to your belief that your peace is reliant on anyone other then you, you are mistaken.
Are Your Actions Consistent With Your Values?
Being kind and compassionate are spiritual values that matter greatly to those of us on a spiritual path. You may believe that you work from a heart centered space or perhaps you make a point of sharing your values with your friends and children, encouraging them to move forward in their higher wisdom every day.
Yet when you get home after you’ve spent a day battling traffic, healing others, and listening to your employees concerns and you’re tired and exhausted, can one unkind word from your partner send you over the tipping point?
Are you able to respond from your heart or do you snap back with harsh words and lots of unkind thoughts?
While you may speak of the importance of being open to abundance, does that belief go right out the window when your bank account is in the red leaving you filled with fear and anxiety? As your worries mount, do you forget that you know that fear closes the door to abundance?
Who’s Taking Care of You?
Now is a perfect time to gently and kindly remind you in the midst of all of our global chaos, to please take care of you.
The United States just had an election that has left us seemingly polarized, as overnight we move from a president who worked from the energy of “hope“ to a president who seems to hold fear as his weapon of choice.
Around the world people continue to fight for basic rights, liberties and something as basic as food and water.
For those of us privileged to not have to worry about where our next meal is coming from, the bills still need to be paid, the children and animals taken care of and then there’s us.
We need care too.
Thrive Beyond Your Circumstances
I’m certain that you have a variety of wishes, hopes and aspirations. If we were to look at all of the different dreams you have for your life they would most likely all come down to one word. That word is peace.
Whether you wish for financial wealth, excellent health, or your dream is finding your ultimate romantic relationship, each of these wishes represent to you safety, security and love, which all translate into one word, peace.
You may think that if you had as much money as you want you’d experience peace. You may be certain that if you had romantic love you’d would finally be happy. You may hold the belief that perfect health is your ticket to a great life.

On a Path Going Nowhere
Are you on a path going nowhere?
People from many parts of the globe come to me with the same requests.
“I want to end the drama and have a peaceful life”.
“Please help me be financially abundant”
”I want to heal my body”
“I long for a romantic partner”.
While these pleas are very different, they all speak to wanting peace. The common element in all of these requests is that all of the folks asking for help are on a spiritual path.
They go to workshops, they read books, they meditate, they do yoga, but still their daily lives are not a representation of their spiritual values. They are puzzled and frustrated as they are unable to THRIVE beyond their circumstances.
They wonder, With all of my spiritual efforts why am I not moving forward?
