Crises Are Critical

… but not mandatory, for growth.

The only constant we have in life is change. We are only here to grow through experiences and to learn who we really are which is aspects of the creator (God).

The nature of reality is change. As long as we are alive on this planet, our lives need to continually expand and evolve and transformation is a critical part of that growth.

Everyone wants to be transformed, but not everyone wants to do the work to transform an aspect of their life. Most prefer to stay stuck and stagnant in a situation that has outlived it’s purpose.

There are 2 ways in which as humans, we can transform. We can transform in a “good” way or a “bad” way. Good and bad are just human labels to describe a process of transformation; they are not realities.

The fact is that we are always in control of how we grow. In the “good” way, we can get out ahead of the curve and recognize that we are feeling stuck/stagnant in our lives and push ourselves outside our comfort zone to make some sort of change.

But many of us tend to evolve and transform in a “bad” way which is awaiting the universe to come from behind us and push us outside our comfort zone via a crisis which undoubtedly pushes us towards transformation. 

Either way, you will transform — either on your timeline or the universe’s. Crisis are critical, but not mandatory. How do you choose to evolve?

If You Can’t Let it Go

… the universe will take it from you.

Not to punish you, but to push you forward.

You can only hold onto what’s not serving you for so long before the universe intervenes and takes it right away from you.

We are only here to learn and grow through the wisdom of experience. So experiences are crucial to our development. If you find yourself feeling stuck, stagnant, and/or holding onto a job or a relationship passed the expiration date, know that the universe will gladly come in to rebalance your scales and force you forward once again.

The only constant in our lives is change. As humans, we naturally shy away from change but it’s our life force. Honor the cycles of change in your life and give what is no longer working up to a new cycle of growth. Holding onto what has you stuck, will keep you there. Letting it go will free you to move forward. When you learn to let go of what is no longer serving you, it opens you up to the rhythm of life where a better future is guaranteed.

It’s Not About Competition Anymore

… it’s about collaboration.

We’re moving away from separatism and into collectivism. There’s strength in numbers and there’s power in community. If the sum of the whole is always greater than its individual parts, why then are we still operating solo? Why are we struggling individually to achieve creature comforts than could be easily had via cooperation?

There is a reason why indigenous people created community. They knew that if they had each other’s backs that they would naturally be more abundant, more efficient and more fulfilled. It’s a simple but profound concept.

There is a resurgence towards collectivism and community on our planet. It’s not about competition anymore, it’s about collaboration. In your life, how can you work in cooperation with others to create a sum greater than that of its parts? Who can you collaborate with to bring your gifts, talents and interests to life in a much more cohesive and meaningful way? How can you benefit from others’ experience and ideas and they by yours?

In our new world paradigm, our delivery system for success is collaboration and partnership. We’re not competing with each other anymore, we’re learning to work together to create a much better world. Are you in?

It’s Not About Hardwork Anymore

… it’s about a higher level of consciousness.

Consciousness is raising these days and it makes our lives a whole new ball game. It used to be that we had to work hard and struggle at meaningless jobs to get a paycheck so we could survive and put food on the table for our families, etc…

But we are entering a new age now and the rules have changed. It’s not about surviving, it’s about evolving. We are all here for a purpose. We are all here to leave our mark on the planet. We are not meant to be wasting our lives away at something that holds no passion for our souls.

When you can let go of the struggle for survival, you open the portal to evolution. Trust in who you are. Trust in your desires and passions, they are leading you to new doorways where the potentials are infinite. But to get there you must believe in yourself and you must be willing to walk away from poverty consciousness and be willing to believe in your innate abundance. When you begin to rewrite the game of your life, the universe will conspire with you to bring you every opportunity that is aligned for you.

Don’t wait for your life to come together, create a new one for yourself. You’re at a new crossroads now and the universe is waiting to guide you towards your new home, are you ready?

Focus on Your Wins

… and you’ll keep winning.

Focus on your losses, and you’ll keep losing. 

Everything is energy and where you put your focus, you get more of — whether you want it or not.

These are trying times of transition and when you can focus on the positive of your life amidst any perceived negative, you invite the energy of transformation in. Transformation can only exist within the waveform of positive intention. In other words, you can block the next step of your life just as easily as you can walk into it. 

You always have a choice as to how you view your life. Are you going to allow yourself to feel the victim of your circumstances or are you going to encourage yourself to continue building upon your successes (however small you think they are) and transforming yourself anew — stronger, greater and wiser?

If the story you are telling yourself isn’t working, try telling another one — a greater one. Where do you want your life to go? What is it you want to create? The secret is in understanding that focusing on where you are, keeps you there, but focusing on where you want to be, brings you there. When you’re ready to be a winner in the story of your life, your life will truly become the winning life you’ve dreamed of.

Things Are Always Coming Together For You

… even if it seems they’re falling apart.

ESPECIALLY if it seems they’re falling apart. 

The universe is a magical space of divine connection. It is ALWAYS working behind the scenes busily orchestrating events and situations in support of your highest good. 

But it doesn’t always seem that way. Sometimes it appears that things are working AGAINST you. But that can NEVER be. The universe is always working to bring you to the next phase of your life, but if you didn’t know that, you might think you were being victimized. 

Not everything you feel is right for you, is right for you.

The universe knows what is right for you and it will de-assemble that which will not stand the test of time in your life.

If it is “falling apart,” it’s the universe’s way of taking down the structure that can no longer hold you and clearing the space to build a new infrastructure that can better serve your needs and grow along side you.

You’re never being punished. You only being pushed into the next phase of your life. 

If it was working for you, it wouldn’t have fallen apart. Trust the process of your life, it knows where you need to be and if you let go, it will bring you there.

Intuition is Listening to Yourself

… ignoring it is betraying yourself.

We all have a small, still voice within that knows what’s right for us. It is our soul speaking to us saying “come over here… come over here.” But how many of us listen to it? How many of us give credence to our intuition? Not many.

We get caught up in the day-to-day grind of routine and ego. We tend to favor our head over our heart and often times make decisions based on a parody of “what makes sense” — “do the math” — “list the pros and cons.” Decisions made from this place often times go against the soul’s calling. 

Believe it or not, it never matters what makes sense. All that matters is that we learn to listen to our hearts — that is the wisdom of the soul and it will never lead us astray.

Our soul knows why we are here. Our soul is always guiding us along our path of fate and steering us towards outcomes in support of our highest purpose. We just need to be aligned with it in order to achieve oneness with ourselves.

Oneness is found by listening to yourself. You have every answer you ever needed, you only have to ask yourself and then be grounded enough to listen to the response.

Your soul will never deceive you. If you don’t like what you hear, you may not like the path you are on. Intuition is a great arbiter of justice — it’s the process of listening to yourself. Ignoring it is akin to betraying yourself. If you cannot hear your intuition, ask yourself who are you hiding from? YOU are the only one you are running from.

When You Know Better

… you have a responsibility to BE BETTER.

It’s just the way it works.

When dealing with those who don’t know better, it’s your job to lead by example and show them a better way. 

It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong. Being on a path of personal growth means accepting responsibility for your actions and never holding others accountable for your own shortcomings, especially those who don’t know better.

Don’t waste your time fighting with others who don’t know better. Don’t hold them to the same standard you hold yourself, not everyone is capable of it.

Fighting with someone who doesn’t have the tools to be better doesn’t bring them there. It just brings you down. If they can’t get there on their own, guide them by your example. When you know better, your behavior can be the catalyst for great change.

Bite the bullet, be the bigger person. Two wrongs never make a right so don’t stoop to their level. If they don’t know better, it’s your job to be better. Learn to lead by example or get out of their way.

Trying To Fit In Doesn’t Get You Seen

… it gets you lost in the crowd.

We’re all here for a unique reason and that reason is to be who we are, not fit in to anyone elses’ mold.

You don’t need to be part of a group in order to be seen. When you’re in the group, you blend in and get lost. But when you can stand just outside the group, your colors shine brightly.

It is true, that being part of a group can be a way of identifying ourselves. So, go ahead, pick the group that mirrors you best and then stand just outside it. Stand far enough away from it that you can be part of it but not of it.

Take space and honor yourself. In time, the group will recognize your importance because they will be able to see you just out on the edge where you are easily identified.

Do you want your light to shine? Don’t put it out by trying to fit into the crowd. Be yourself. Your light will always light your way and it will naturally draw others to it.

Your Vibe Attracts Your Tribe

… who are you vibing with?

Everything is energy. Like attracts like. Nothing and no one ever shows up outside of us that doesn’t match where we are within ourselves.

The energy you are putting out into the world is constantly attracting people and situations who match that vibration. So if you’re feeling happy and positive, you’ll notice that the world outside you seems hopeful and exciting and if you’re feeling sad and negative, the world outside you tends to feel a bit more challenging and bleak.

You are creating that. It’s NOT happening TO YOU. 

You’re never a victim of your life. You’re always in control of it. Your experiences are just a reflection of your inner state of being. Do you want your life to look better? Start cultivating better feeling thoughts about it. You can’t get to a better life by focusing on what’s wrong with this one. But we do it everyday. We complain and whine about the injustices around us and wonder why they only get worse.

Your vibe attracts your tribe. It attracts the people and situations that make up your life. If you’re unhappy with your life, your life will never make you happy. Find a reason to be happy with your life, and it’ll give you every reason to be happy.
