The experience of real bliss is a gift that is delivered to humankind, when you shift your attention from the external to the internal, to hear the inner whisperings of spirit. As you listen to the wisdom of the Divine, you are guided to clear the path to do that which is for the highest good of all concerned in all of your interactions. As the author of, “The Spiritual Path: How to Create Heaven on Earth,” I learned early on the importance of living a simple life and how it enables you to develop the emotional intelligence needed to connect with others to build healthy, happy, loving relationships. When your life is simple, you have time to live in harmony with the people you care about. It is a good thing to have financial stability, but if it is attained as a result of working at a job you hate, you must believe in yourself and have the courage to step outside of your comfort zone to make a change. If your job is not in alignment with your values, you will be compromising your integrity, and will sabotage your happiness. So be careful what you wish for! Whatever you create, you will have to be responsible for it. If you buy more than is comfortable to pay for, you will still need to send money to your creditors until you no longer owe them. If your mental, emotional, and spiritual headspace is uncluttered and peaceful, your heart will be open and able to express your creative genius in your own unique and special ways. An uncluttered, virtuous mind is attractive to the multitudes, and resonates a frequency of energy that emanates peace, joy, and love. When you exude a consciousness that seeks to give to others, you draw to you exactly what you need. You attract the people and opportunities that vibrate in sync with your heart energy. When you feel in coherence with the life you have created, the foundation you have built will stand the test of time, and allow you to create at a higher level. From this place of stability, your passion is ignited to live a heartfelt purposeful existence. When free from the clutter of stuff that competes for your time, treasure, talent, and space, you become emotionally available to express your inner child. This freedom allows you to play and open your heart to live a highly effective life, free from the inner distractions created from a mindset of insecurity and fear. The world is your oyster! But, somehow humanity has bought into a mindset of more is better and that you will only have success if you can keep up with the Jones’s. This mentality traps you into thinking that you will only find happiness if you can achieve fame, fortune, and look like a celebrity. To break free from this limited way of perceiving the world, realize that you don’t need anything to make you more beautiful as a person than you already are. In fact, if you are obsessed with obtaining what is outside of yourself, this preoccupation will cripple your ability to get what you really want. Your beliefs of lack and limitation will sabotage any possibility of manifesting real happiness, and will act as an energy deterrent to push others away. Because you don’t feel content with what you have, what you have will eventually be taken away, in one way or another, from a lack of appreciation. Essentially, it is vital to love and nurture yourself to have a good life. However, when you do it at the expense of others in inconsiderate ways that are irresponsible and uncaring, then you are caught in a maze of your own insecurities that are calling the shots, making you act in unkind and disconnected ways. Your actions may create what looks like a wonderful life, but what actually manifests is something to cover up the lack of confidence you have in the person you have become. As a result of your so-called good intentions to fix what you internally believed was broken, you made matters worse. You complicated your life by piling mountains of distractions upon your life force energy that in the long run, has weakened your ability to live a highly effective life of integrity. When you value relationships, self-care, and experiences over the accumulation of external material trappings, you opt for a more optimal existence. If you fail to release your addictive need to boost your ego with more fluff, you will be forced to maintain what you have created. Have you ever noticed how excited you feel after finding something you really like when shopping? You bring home your booty, proud of your purchases, and then put them away, and in some cases, they sit in a drawer never to be used. The sensation of finding something special makes you temporarily happy, but is not the source of true happiness. As a young girl my grandmother encouraged me to be frugal and mindful with resources. “Waste not, want not!” she would say. This saying is really a good motto to live your life by. Quality over quantity feeds the soul spiritual sustenance, and promotes a life of real meaning and fulfillment. If you feel undeserving of the good you have manifested, you may reject opportunities to indulge in the finer things of life. When you get caught up in fixing what is already perfect in the mind of God, you cheat yourself out of valuable time that could be better spent having fun exploring your gifts. Because of scattered energy, you waste vitality running from one task to another, while resisting the need to emotionally connect with the present, and the people waiting to share their lives with you. Unnecessary purchases can distract you from real responsibility to your higher self and keep you from following your dreams. Debt can suffocate the free spirit within, ultimately causing you to spin your wheels and go in circles, leaving you with less to show for your efforts. Of course it is okay to shop, but be wise with your purchases, and delegate your time to connect with what you truly value. Look within to discover that which excites and inspires you to become your personal best. Life is an adventure that enables you to give the highest and best of yourself to the world! If you feel disconnected from your higher purpose, reel your emotions in to appreciate the life you have created, and then reassess where you are doing yourself and others a disservice. Regardless of the circumstances that have materialized in your reality, be true to yourself by making the choice to live an authentic life of integrity. To attain this level of integrity, anchor thoughts of gratitude whenever anxiety, fear, or worry attempt to hijack your happiness. Turn within to connect to thoughts that resonate with your personal truth. Consciously align with core values that support your efforts to demonstrate an honest, reliable, and simple lifestyle. Ask yourself, “Am I chasing after the wrong kind of happiness? What do I need to live a full and rewarding life?” Will the people I care about feel that I am a dependable person and someone whom they can count on when times get tough? Or…will they sense that I am oblivious to their concerns when they see how I am preoccupied and consumed with my own pursuits? Have the courage to live true to your authentic self and celebrate the life you were blessed to receive. Accept the challenge to cut through the clutter to be free from the trivial diversions that are keeping you from getting in touch with your higher purpose! When you are passionate about a particular cause that aligns with your values, it no longer feels like work. Instead you feel at home and eager to be of service to the world. It is now time for you to embody your vision with a sense of clarity that will assist you in radiating love energy out to the universe! Break free from the mediocrity that has numbed your heart to passion, and let life force energy compound to strengthen your energy field. Connect with the emotions of the heart to embody courageous energy, and then take back your power to live an enlightened authentic life. Embrace each new day on your journey as you become a better version of yourself, capable of inspiring the masses to do the right thing at all times, regardless of circumstances.
You are now and have always been, perfect in your imperfection. You are an individualization of the Divine, free to experience all that you are meant to be. Cut through the clutter that is clogging your senses, and step on the spiritual path to experience heaven on earth! What will you do to shatter the veil of materialism to align with your values and simplify your life?

“Your Mind is a Garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds!” The integrity of each intention you project into the Universe determines what manifests in your future. Who you become hangs on the threads of choices made that lay the groundwork for either a sick or healthy self-esteem. As the author of, “The Spiritual Path: How to Create Heaven on Earth,” I strive to awaken humanity to its spiritual magnificence, by teaching how you can change your reality one thought at a time to attract a reflection of the integrity of actions taken to create your world. When you opt for the demonstration of a higher set of values, an enhanced sense of self supplies the fearlessness and moral fiber to be a Changemaker in society. With an ethical virtuous mindset, internal growth is assured to facilitate development of the self-confidence needed to step outside of your comfort zone, to become a better version of yourself. Each seed of integrity you plant in the fertile subconscious soil of the mind cultivates a quality existence, when it is nurtured with tender loving care. As a Changemaker, you can make the world a better place through solution oriented efforts that work to solve crucial societal problems. To find an optimal solution, connect with others in a heartfelt, empathetic manner to understand the real matters at hand. When an imbalance occurs, it is vital to discover the source of the problem to resolve the issues that have materialized. To facilitate lasting change that is for the highest good of all, inspire others to take steps toward making a serious impact that will resolve all related concerns. To become a successful Changemaker, begin with the end in mind, with a clear vision of your intention. Have a plan and know that you are going in the right direction. You are on a mission to spread good will, blessed with the power of integrity! Because you know where you are going, your path is clear and supported by others who resonate with your truth. Your purpose vibrates with the higher realms, attracting People who are in coherence with the wisdom you share. Through collaboration, success is achieved in one quantum leap. The road you are traveling upon is transformed and cleared of all the obstacles of “business as usual,” and transitioned to a more current viable resolution that is healing for all concerned. When you experience a profound connection with a “cause” that you know in your heart needs to be pursued for the sake of righteousness, the journey toward finding the right and ideal solution takes on a life of its own until resolved. This moral connection is “Your Why,” which is embedded deep within your being, and is the reason you feel passionate about the cause you have championed. Because you know where you are going, you feel empowered and driven to create a metamorphosis of sorts, to improve “life as you know it.” To get the ball rolling, you celebrate small successes on your journey toward positive constructive change, and uplift others as you progress. You create good habits and healthy routines that support the creation of a foundation that motivates others to join in your quest to better the planet. Together you work collaboratively with experts who inspire you through their stories of personal success, teaching you best practices to help magnetize the perfect solutions that vibrate with your cause. As you learn to overcome adversity thrown your way, you begin to see how each pitfall is but an opportunity to learn from your “so-called” mistakes. You realize that you attracted the different challenges in your life to help you become a better version of yourself. From the wisdom gained, your new insight enhances your awareness, enabling you to make better decisions in the future. Each experience helps you to scaffold lessons learned, to build a new model that resonates with your core vision. When you honor the people in your world by making decisions that are for the highest good of all concerned, you are on the right track and headed toward the creation of heaven on earth! The actions you take today will shape your tomorrows. God is a verb and heaven is an action. To facilitate positive constructive change on this planet, have the courage to do what is right even when no one is looking. If you feel confused, and can’t quite figure out how to free up your energy to step forward as a leader to be the Changemaker you believe you are meant to become, have no fear! With heartfelt grit and determination, you can alter the road you are traveling upon! Know that the steps will unfold in the right and ideal time, as you make yourself available to be of service to humankind. Believe in your mission, and embrace the passion you feel in your heart that is dying to express itself. You are being guided to be a Changemaker because within, you know you have what it takes to correct the imbalances that have manifested. It is your purpose to share your talents, to improve what others are unable to envision. To proceed, recognize that what you have to offer is unique to you, so don’t let worries and fears of failure keep you from doing what you know needs to be done. Know that God doesn’t create junk, and you are not trying to change what is already perfect in its imperfection! Fundamentally, what you are choosing to do is to express your creativity, to upgrade an outmoded dated expression that is no longer working for the highest good of all. When this occurs, you can use your wisdom to tweak the old model or instead choose to go an alternative route, where you change the old version into something entirely different that is in alignment with the new insights and growth that have resulted since its inception. To expedite change, take charge of your emotions to direct your energy toward being of service to others. Use the energy that wells up within you, to push forward synergizing with others, in a committed effort to modify what is no longer working. The compassion and kindness you embody is felt throughout the universe as love energy that uplifts all on your pathway. It is time to use this love energy to plant your seeds of greatness in the soil of your subconscious mind to reap a harvest that will bless the world! Take the initiative to ingrain new habits that will support you on your journey toward manifesting creative change. Know that what you create will be a true game changer in your field of expertise. This now moment is your opportunity to shine as you take the bull by the horns in an effort to go above and beyond the call of duty! Listen to the still small voice from within to reprogram your subconscious mind, to chart a new course that modifies your destiny! Get busy in the action of living true to the integrity of your higher self. When doing this, you set the tone of your day to align with your values. Many people let fear guide their decision making process, and as a result, they sabotage their future. Their lack of faith in themselves and a higher power, blocks the right and ideal manifestation of good from appearing, and instead, lack and limitation overcomes the psyche. The key to living in alignment with your higher self is to let go and let Divine Intelligence guide and direct your way along the spiritual path. When you do this, your faith and trust in the life force energy of the Divine aides in the natural unfoldment of your gifts. As you embody your personal truth, you attract a reflection of the integrity of your consciousness. So, what can you do to facilitate positive change in the world? You can start right now by taking steps to determine which cause is in coherence with your higher purpose and resonates in a heartfelt manner with what you are all about. You can make the choice to live authentically, in alignment with your higher self, to live a creative blessed life. As a Changemaker, you truly can influence others to be all that they can be! *How will you make a difference in the lives of others? |
