Where are your belief systems taking you? As the end of year is approaching, it is a fantastic time to reflect on what you are putting out into the world. The past year has shown us that humans can become emotionally lazy when it comes to our opinions and judgements, fighting to stand in the box we identify with. When we decide that we believe one thing over another, most often we tend to never challenge it again. However, when we do take the time to challenge our belief systems and think about other perspectives, our connection to one another grows. Begin to take notice of what is impacting you to form opinions and what topics spark judgement towards others. There is a balance we can work to achieve where we live strong in both our beliefs and our love for others, no matter what differences they may have.

“If you are searching for that one person who can change your life, look in the mirror” When we are spending our time and energy searching for love, we are relying on someone else to complete us and fulfill our happiness. Being secure in who you are and not depending on anyone else is an incredibly freeing feeling. When you stop looking for you, your relationship with yourself will be stronger and your energy will attract the right people into your life. Love is not something that is hidden and in need of searching for. The people meant to bring us love into our life will come. Instead of looking for love, begin to understand how you perceive love within your relationships. Learn how you show yourself love through self-care practices and gratitude.

What does the Universe want you to do? Many of us are overwhelmed by the search for our special contribution to life. However, I believe that the universe isn’t attached to anything you do or your life choices. You have the power to determine what is meaningful to you and what your purpose is. When you point your internal compass to that which brings you happiness and satisfaction, you will be heading toward and discovering what your inner divine light and higher self is wanting to express. I truly believe that the energy of light shines a little brighter when we are shining in every moment of our day as best as we can. Pay attention to how you feel when you are doing something that makes your heart sing because those moments in life are what you are here to share in the world. These moments may not be what you do for a living but they may be how you do everything while you are living.

Are you under an illusion? Sometimes we may believe that we are taking the correct action to reach our goals and dreams, but really we are rocking back and forth without making any progress forward. When we have experienced previous negative life events, trauma, or had our self-confidence broken down, we tend to believe the negative voice in our head which holds us back in the past. It’s time to let go of your insecurities that are keeping you from moving forward in your life. I believe that we all are born with a divine light inside of us. However, I find it tragic that many of us are going through life hiding our light under a veil of insecurities caused by our old pain. It is our task to free ourselves from the weight of the insecurities that we continue to believe. When you hear the insecurities arise within your self-talk, ask yourself if you want to carry that negativity with you or if you want to show up in your life radiating positivity. Our negative self-talk can be a way that we hide from the responsibility to shine our divine light. Sing your unique song! Today, I share with you my insights on insecurities and how they may be causing you to be under an illusion of progress.

Can you recall a time when you were forced to wait and be patient? Typically, we want what we want and we want it now. The seductive promise of instant gratification often outshines the value of waiting. Waiting may seem like a waste of time or a passive action that doesn’t get anything done, but richer results tend to come when you let time unfold in the way it’s supposed to. When you are waiting for something, you are forced to give up control, be patient, and let go of your own agenda. Trust the timing of the Universe and allow everything to unfold in divine timing. When you wait, you become an observer and can obtain a deeper grasp of self-awareness by examining your needs and wants. Next time you find yourself in a situation of waiting, I challenge you to embrace the art of waiting and see what results come from it. Today, I share with you my thoughts on waiting and how it provides better results than pushing your own agenda. In this episode, you will learn: How instant gratification allures us (1:07) That waiting requires you to give up control (2:45) Why richer results come from waiting (4:22) That waiting does not mean inaction (6:02) Let’s Connect: Website
