Yesterday I did a quick talk on Facebook Live regarding this idea of what we deem as ‘normal’ in our lives.

Everyday we experience life around us and we have expectations of what is coming based on past experiences.

The way we deal with money, love, our loved ones, our bosses, our jobs, and other people are all based out of the past.

We expect, react, respond, and play a part based on what we are used to experiencing.

So, it stands to reason that IF we don’t exactly like our external circumstances, then all we need to do is shift what we expect.  I know it seems easier said than done.

But today, I want you to think a bit about what it is you have come to accept as your ‘norm’?  What is a common occurrence that you simply expect because it’s happened so often?

Maybe it’s that you always barely make it to your next paycheck.

Maybe it’s that you always have date the liars and the cheaters.

Maybe it’s that you always lose 10lbs and then gain it right back.

Whatever it is for YOU is simply a reflection of your mindset.

As human beings we tend to stay where it is comfortable, even if it the circumstances seem a bit uncomfortable.  If we are used to barely making it financially and we’ve allowed that to be our comfort zone then we will likely repeat those circumstances.

In order to shift that, we must first shift our mindset and what we expect.

I explain a bit more about how to do just that and how to create and live from your new reality in my live stream from yesterday.  Hop on over and check it out.

If you know you are ready to leave your old expectations and nonsense behind so you can embrace a new expanded life for yourself, I encourage you to check out the Miracle Mindset Immersion Program that starts on July 25th.  Early Bird registration is open now and rates jump by $100 on Monday July 18th.

The cost of giving up…

There have been many times when I’ve thought about giving up, particularly when I couldn’t really see my way forward. 

You see, when I began this path, nothing was certain.

I made a decision to follow my heart and LIVE my purpose and 2 weeks later, I got laid off from my full-time job.

I had no clients, no money, and a dream.

A dream to help empower women to see their true brilliance so they could finally step into their power and LIVE the life they were meant to.

A dream to teach women to listen to their intuition, see and honor their truth so they could go out into the world and make a difference.

I had NO idea how this was going to take shape and while over time it began to get more clear, there were moments I thought of giving up.

But, you see the cost of giving up is much greater than just a hit to my ego.  The cost of giving up effects not just myself and my family, but the world.

The women I could be helping and the people they would then help as an extension from the support I gave them.

You see, it’s all about the ripple effect.

Giving up on my dream means I’m also giving up on yours and every single time I thought about throwing in the towel, I remembered the great cost of giving up.

But…recently I am seeing more and more women settling for ‘what is’ instead of digging deep and doing the work that is needed to move beyond where they are.

I SEE the dreams in their eyes, the inspiration in their soul, and the tired, worn out beliefs they carry with them that are holding them back.

Like heavy baggage, they slowly move forward, if they move at all while most simply settle for this moment, allowing their dream to be just that…a dream.

Let me ask you something…

When did you decide you’d never make it?

When did you decide the life you desire wasn’t meant for you?

When did you decide it would just never happen?

When did you decide that this is as good as it gets for you?

Do you know?

Was it when you got knocked down for a moment or when you thought that one little trial was the sign that THIS wasn’t meant to be?

I’m seeing a whole heap of incredibly talented, intelligent, powerful women throwing in the towel because of their current circumstance.  They’re allowing their current “reality” be the reason they lose hope and give up completely.

But, here’s what they don’t know (or in the least they have forgotten):

What you SEE in front of you is merely a reflection of the beliefs you hold in your mind and in your heart. 

What you SEE in front of you is NOT an indication of what you are able to do unless you give up.

We’ve already talked about the cost of giving up, so why on earth would you allow yourself to give up on your dream, your vision, your desires, AND the very people that need you most???

I think it’s pretty clear that right now we need all the positive change-makers we can get rallying together with their gifts uplifting, inspiring, and supporting others and you are no different.

We NEED your light.

We NEED your power.

We NEED YOU to step up and see what you bring to this amazing world and you can’t do that by thinking that this is as good as it gets!

If you don’t believe better days are ahead, then what’s the point of all of this?

It’s time.

It’s YOUR time.

It’s way PAST time for you to get your mindset together and make a difference not only in YOUR life, but in the lives of the very souls you were put here to change.

So, are you still willing to give up on yourself knowing what it costs?

If not, consider this your invitation to something that will transform your life in ways you never thought possible and set you on a path to BE the woman you know you were meant to be.

It’s the Miracle Mindset Immersion program and it is life-changing, reality-shifting, belief-busting goodness that will change your life for the better and it’s open for Early Bird Registration until 11:59pm on 7/17/2016.  Get all the details about the program and the limited VIP option by clicking the button below.

MOST people aren’t willing to do this…are you?

TRUTH TIME—>

MOST people aren’t willing to do what it takes to make their dreams come true.

I’m not talking about blood, sweat, tears, “hard” work and hours of sleep lost either.

I’m talking about breaking out of the safe, secure, and let’s be honest, a bit too predictable-comfort zones we find ourselves in just before we realize we MUST break free.

You see, most people FEAR the unknown.

I know I did…hell I STILL do!

I’m equally terrified by the thought of big changes and completely stifled when I don’t have enough change.

BUT, I’ve learned to DANCE with it. I’ve learned to get comfortable with the discomfort and TRUST that the path forward will always end up with something amazing, mind-blowing, and soul expanding for ME.

It ALWAYS leads to a greater lesson, bigger purpose, longer-lasting joy and alignment…always.

But it wasn’t always that way.

In fact, the more I fought the idea of change and leaping outside my comfort zone, knowing good and well that is exactly what I needed, the harder it got.

The very foundation upon which my identity was built began to crumble, one brick at a time.

I lost myself, my vision, my safety net and was all of a sudden blessed with this incredible desire that scared the shit out of me.

I was going to change the world and hadn’t the slightest idea HOW or WHY I thought I actually could do something so big.

 

Who the hell did I think I was???

I didn’t think I was anything special and yet, I couldn’t let this feeling go.

I tried to ignore it for years, but you see that’s the thing about your purpose…when it’s your purpose…I mean REALLY your purpose, you can’t hide from it, no matter how hard you try.

So, I had nothing else to do but step into the unknown one inch at a time and trust as much as I could.

NOW…well now taking risks and stepping into the unknown is a bit easier.

It’s definitely still uncomfortable, but now I know the reward that comes from what feels like a huge risk and I know it’s worth it.

The life you desire, the career you crave, the pure joy that you know is possible yet still slightly out of reach—> all of that lies just outside your comfort zone and you must be willing to take the risk to step into the unknown in order to experience the amazing expansion your soul craves.

That’s just how it is.

So…tell me what’s more comfortable for you?

Continuing on the path of certainty and settling for the mediocre experience you’ve grown used to?

OR

Stepping out, with maybe wobbly knees and butterflies in your stomach onto a path that is a risk, but the reward is oh so sweet you can almost taste it now?

I chose the risk.

What do YOU choose?

Choices—> You Always Have Them

Every morning, I spend about 45 minutes doing mindset work and as I was doing the journaling portion of my work this morning, I found myself writing statements that started with I CHOOSE.

Things like…

I CHOOSE happiness, abundance, and love.
I CHOOSE to believe in the greater good of all.
I CHOOSE to believe that my life is limitless.
I CHOOSE peace, love, and abundance in all areas of my life.

And it struck me that MOST of us don’t believe we truly have a choice in life.

With the recent political circumstances, decisions, and governing bodies around the world, there are SO many people feeling powerless and lost in the shuffle.

They are letting FEAR lead the way as they wonder what will come of their future.

HOW will they live?
WHAT’s going to happen next?
WHAT’s the purpose of all of this?

And yet, they forget, overlook, or simply tune out of the idea that they have a CHOICE in this moment and every moment forward.

WE ALL DO.

Listen, I know that the world looks like it’s going to hell in a hand basket and we are losing hope with every violent act, shitty political candidate, and governmental decision, but even in all the chaos, perceived instability, and the shit-storm that is happening around us…WE HAVE A CHOICE.

 

Every time you THINK a thought, watch the news, engage in a conversation or turn your focus to FEAR—> you’ve made a choice.

BUT you also have a choice to turn your thoughts to love, to focus on what is going right and in the least focus on what it is you WANT to experience in the world around you and believe it or not THAT is where your ‪power‬ lies.

YOU decide what you want to believe and therefore attract into your experience.

YOU decide where you focus your attention and therefore what you experience in your day-to-day life.

YOU get to DECIDE…today and everyday and that is so much more powerful than anything the government can do for you.

 

It’s time to take back your power and DECIDE what YOU will experience and there for attract into your life.

I guarantee it’s worth a bit of a mindset shift.

Turn your thoughts to love, forgiveness, abundance, joy, peace, support, compassion, community, happiness, prosperity, and all the things you actually WANT to attract into your life.

For THAT is where you have the power even in the grimmest of circumstances.

CHOOSE where you will focus your energy and love.

CHOOSE what you will do to shape the world and make a difference.

But most of all CHOOSE what you want for YOUR life for it will create ripples across the world for years to come.

There is no more time to waste…we all must do our part to focus our minds in the right place to create change and if you aren’t sure how to shift your mindset or how to more fully step into your power, I invite you to schedule a free 30-Minute Consultation below.

Call to ACTION—>No more hiding…

Consider this your official call to action: It’s time to stop hiding once and for all!

You know it, I know it, and so your intuition knows it, but something, SOMETHING is stopping you in your tracks every time you even consider stepping out and honoring your truth.

Maybe it’s fear.

Maybe it’s the question of what others might think of you.

Maybe it’s your mind playing tricks on you as it lists out all the magnificent things that could go wrong!

Maybe it’s that gut-wrenching, tummy-twisting, knot in the stomach that says—It’s not SAFE to be me!

And yet…you know.

You know it’s way past time for you to step out and step up so you can let your magnificent, beautiful light shine so you can FULLY be YOU.

I’m talking embracing ALL of YOU.

Your strengths, quirks, power, passions, and joy for life.

It’s time…the world NEEDS you, your light, your passion, purpose, and mission.

It.Is.TIME.

Now, if you are reading this you may know without a shadow of a doubt that it’s time to stop hiding, but you aren’t quite sure HOW to step out, step up, and to fully stand in your power.

You may have doubts that it is possible.

You may not even know what you are passionate about.

And you may be so bound by the cycle of thoughts in your mind that keep you stuck, stagnant, and down right paralyzed that you don’t even know where to begin.

This message is for YOU.
