The Everything Antidote
A little dose of this ancient antidote goes a long ways, but don't worry, it's not the kind of medicine that poisons you if you take too much. In fact, the more the better. It's literally impossible to overdo it.
What's this wonder drug?
Forgiveness.
Real forgiveness- not the hallow shadow that passes for forgiveness in a world too busy being offended to look at themselves.
Fake forgiveness sounds like, "You're a jerk, but I forgive you because I'm the bigger person."
Or, "I forgive yo…
To be sovereign
To be sovereign is to possess total control and power. It is to be a supreme authority; to rule a specific domain.
It’s basically to be the ninja of your own personal universe
Many confuse being sovereign with being able to do whatever they want, whenever they want. (You know the type- I’m going to meditate on the beach for 2 hours then smoke a lot of weed. )
But they miss the true spirit of what it means to sovereign.
They pursue every desire and impulse because they can, or rather, they ca…
It's totally ok...
It's totally ok for you to be exactly where you are.
In this moment, you can't be anywhere else anyway. So you may as well make peace with where you are.
Because the more you resist it...
...the frustrations
...the not good enough's
...the should's, would's, and could's...
...the more stuck you'll be.
So put your hand on your heart, close your eyes, and repeat after me.
"It's totally ok to be exactly where I am."
Let's be clear, it's not an excuse to opt-out. No. It's permission to…
The Hidden Corners of Your Heart
Who doesn't love happy thoughts? Warm fuzzy feelings invite us into deeper receptivity, and joy is a natural outcome of that receptivity.
This leads many to believe that if they just train their mind to be more 'positive' then their life will improve.
But here's the thing...
You don't need to train yourself to be more positive; Love and peace and joy is your natural state. It's just that in a noisy, chaotic world, those parts get often get obscured.
And then you think, well, I just need t…
Your Infinite Wisdom
It's true. The great ones and holy ones have been saying it for eons...
You're omniscient; all knowing.
Everything you've ever wanted is within you.
But never forget...
Those same great ones and holy ones had help to come to that realization. They didn't do it in a vacuum.
The had teachers. They had guides. They had community.
So don't let the idea that 'all the answers are within you' get you stuck- thinking you have you figure it all our yourself. Because it still counts even if you h…
On Shame and Humility
Somewhere along the way, shame and humility got twisted up.
As if you have to put yourself down in order to be humble.
We self-deprecate to show how 'real' we are. And that's only on the outside. On the inside we're our own worst critic. The nagging voice that never quits.
It's a tool we use to push ourselves to greater achievements. Shame keeps us from getting complacent.
But what if there were a better way?
A way to say, "My best is enough; I am enough...
...and I can continue to be…
Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is a beautiful thing. But don't let it fool you.
The bright-eyed and bushy-tailed energy of enthusiasm is easy to come by when things are fresh and new- this is the honeymoon of any endeavor.
But where does enthusiasm go when challenges arrive on the scene?
Does it vanish as quickly as it came when the monotonous repetition required for mastery sets in?
There is a difference between enthusiasm and commitment. You can see it in the eyes if you know what to look for; it's writt…
A Mystical Secret
You're the center of every experience in your life; The star of the show.
You are the problem AND the solution; the lock and the key.
There is no external solution to an internal problem- not one that will last anyway.
This is the secret that hides in plain sight.
Everyone has heard it, but few pay it any attention.
Endless mysteries and magic will unfold in your life if you'll only look within.
The solution to any problem in your life is inside that same problem; inside you.
Your …
Are You Ready?
It's a simple question, really. Are you ready?
REALLY ready?
Ready to achieve your highest and most important goals?
Ready for your greatest wishes to come true?
Ready for a miracle in your life?
Most people will say, "Yes, of course! I've been waiting!"
Yet, when things really start moving, they'll put the brakes on. Too much, too soon. Nuh uh. Nope.
Ask again...
Are you ready?
REALLY ready?
Being ready isn't about bracing yourself for the onslaught, and it's not about steeli…
Hacking Karma
Why do bad things happen to good people?
I don't know...
...and neither do you.
Not really, anyway. But that doesn't mean we can't do anything about it.
Here's what I mean...
If our present moment is just a result of all our past choices, then the best we can do is walk into each moment unencumbered by our past; truly free to chose something beautiful for our lives.
No more dragging old hurts and resentments around like Santa and his bag of toys.
Because every moment we drag those wo…
