This post is about the high cost of saying Yes to wrong-for-you people.
I had been asking the universe for some confirmation, on what I was about to do; the decision I had come to.
This year has been such a painful learning process around discovering the value of working with people who strengthen me. Painful sometimes is needed so we can really get it.
I won’t say I don’t mind the pain, because I do. I’m human and would prefer it to be different.
I’m not gonna tell you that I’ve been able to put that pain aside because I now know what it has been diligently working to reveal to my awareness.
Trust me. Enjoy the moments you have right now. Otherwise, you will have plenty of time in your elder years to regret the time you are not enjoying now.
Why are you so worried and anxious?
This is another area of life I’m familiar with. Life is crumpled up and tossed away on worry and stress. Rule your life with a kingly confidence that all things will work out for you. One way or another, in time, they will.
What is the purpose of your battle?
In all my years, I learned the first and most important battle we must win is the war waged in mind. Once we conquer discrepancy in our thoughts, we can begin to master a time of peace throughout all realms.
A lot shifts, when you begin focusing on your alignment.
Most times, those shifts are not the ones I expect. Or daydream of. They’re usually beyond what I could imagine dreaming on my own.
My 40-day-alignment series has concluded. I challenged myself to show up more. Here on my blog. To write and share more. I guess to show up more in my life really… when I even thought to choose Alignment as my word for 2011.
40-Days was me, on a major run at getting in alignment. Making it my #1 priority. The best I could. Over “approximately” 40-days-or-so.
In the book Money & The Law of Attraction, I was surprised to discover that money was not the primary focus on the book.
There are really three sections: one reviews principles of Law of Attraction (pivoting & positive aspects), another section on money (obviously), and the last and largest section of the book is about health & wellness.
Why would health & wellness be put before the topics of money/abundance or even the all time favorite for most of us, relationships and love?
Here’s the nugget I got. A teeny piece of clarity that I took action on. It didn’t feel full of effort either, the decision to do something. It felt more like inspiration.
About ten days ago, I was contacted by this guy. It felt like a kind of random event. I don’t get calls everyday like this call.
He leaves a voicemail saying he’s been inspired to connect with me after a visit to my website (I was very touched by this.)
I return his call, with some mild skepticism but mostly a lot of openness to possibility and some curiosity about what exactly he wanted or needed to speak to me about.
… desired anything… You’ve requested it for one reason only… and that is because you think you’ll feel better in the having of it… And what you’re really asking for is alignment. Harmony, wholeness, validation of the goodness that is You.

I got some feedback from clients, when I shared out loud about the fear and anxiety I have around managing my business growth and expansion. Specifically, having more clients than I think I have the time and energy to support.
Being too full or too busy to serve each of you well. Being concerned for my own well being. Wanting to get clear on what makes me really happy with what I’m doing, so I can focus on doing more of that. And asking for/getting support with the other pieces.
I said my fear and then a few of you said your own.
Just realizing, again, how important it is to have daily ritual.
I think I don’t really have one, but in truth, I do.
I really want, desire, long for… a better one. Or the discipline to at least follow that desire and do what I must in order to align with what I want.
I awake in the morning. And not every morning, but it is getting more frequent, I remember to think about something grateful or good the moment I’m aware that I’m awake.
This post is part three of a short-series inspired by Danielle LaPorte (more about the beginning of that is here.)
I’m curious if you are among some people I’ve been hanging out with and talking to who are feeling a changing tide in how people engage in business.
Gone is the old paradigm of doing whatever you have to in order to please/keep a client. Sorry, I will not stand on my head for you because, I promise, it still will not make you happy!
Instead, one of the big reasons many of us decided to do our own thing, is to call the shots. And be a little more aware of who we are engaging with and why. And making choices from an entirely different place.
What is your hurry?
