Are you aware when you’re happy?
It shouldn't require a big philosophical discussion to know if you’re happy or not. In fact, years ago I met the French homeopath Dr. Christian Almayrac in Lake Arrowhead. He called himself Dr. Happiness and his basic premise was “Enjoying my happiness is the most important thing for me and for everybody else.” He’d constantly ask himself, “Am I happiest thinking ……….?” If the answer wasn’t an immediate yes, it was a no. And if the answer was

You have a soul. It's not physical like your body. It's ethereal, like angels and spirit guides.
It knows you better than you know it, and it knows way more about everything than you do. It knows what you want most and what you came here to do and be. It wants you happy. It wants others happy. And it knows how to create that. All you have to do is ask it for help in your life. Use your non-dominant hand to write down its answers. Ask questions about its answers. Do this especially if: 
1. When it looks like you’re not going to have enough money for something you desire. Decide that you do! Then see what and how it shows up.
2. When you don’t have enough time to complete something. Decide what time you want to get done. Then get to work and be prepared to be surprised. 3. When you can’t solve a problem. Decide you get it solved anyway. Then allow it all to fall into place. 
Sometimes life overloads me. There’s too much going on, or there’s crazy energy disrupting the peace. You know what I mean?
Those times are just ripe for escalation. When there’s too much going on, mistakes get made, which means even more stuff is going on. Or, when crazy energy’s disrupting the peace, it’s so easy to go into our corners or be reactive. Either way, we’re creating even more crazy, disruptive energy. So what are we to do? 
10 times to remember you’re magic.
1. You’re late: Snap your fingers and decide you’re getting there on time (regardless of all the signs that suggest otherwise, and regardless of whether that means everyone else will be late). Let your magic do its work. 2. You want to eat, but you’re not hungry: First, snap your fingers and ask yourself what you really want instead. Then, snap your fingers again and decide that you have whatever it is that you want. 
Before you read this, think of three people you admire. These can be real people, or characters from films or books. Just make sure they’re people YOU admire. Forget what your friends or family think. This is about YOU. In the alchemy of your life, the people you choose for role models have a lot to do with your potential and your life purpose.
These people can be quite different from each other. For example, two of my role models are Cher and Anwar Sadat. Now you can start thinking about how your role models benefit 
Kelsye Nelson’s tweet of yesterday morning seized me by my shoulders.
As a recovering, but not recovered, procrastinator, I saw her “Completion is power,” tweet’s finger pointing right at me. (And as a practicing dyslexic, it took me minute to realize that I’d misread the quote as originally found on Gretchen Rubin’s 
Jealousy can be one of the most life-transforming experiences you’ll have.
I didn’t used to think that, though. I used to hate feeling jealous because I didn’t know what to do with its wrenching pangs that ate away at me. No matter how I tried, I failed to wish or pray the feelings away. Worse, I knew my behavior revealed my jealousy, which made it doubly awful. Have you experienced something similar? |
