If you are feeling stuck, let love help you see an easy way forward. Then love yourself enough to go for it.

If you are feeing fearful, let love help you remember you are way bigger than your outcomes, and that your fulfillment lives in your courageous action and not in your result.

If you are feeling resigned, let love restore you to your purpose, which is to love. Let your simple and renewed purpose give you renewed meaning.

No matter the block, love is the path.

Is the song that kept running through my head on repeat in my meditation today. Because my kids have been listening to it to on repeat all week.

This is a reminder that not everything you are exposed to during (the majority of) your waking hours is vitally important or true, and it will likely end up taking up lots of space in your thinking mind regardless.

Notice. Then choose the inobvious.

Not every thought you have is worth acting on. Most of them probably aren’t.

Your personal power lives just as much in your ability to do nothing about it than to do something about it.

Which type of thoughts would you like to practice letting be?

Your purpose is big and powerful enough to transcend specifics. Meaning no matter what changes or circumstances arise, your purpose will always be there as a gift to guide you.

Your greatest purpose in life doesn’t have to do with the skills you have developed or identify with. It isn’t limited or defined by your vocation, either, even if you are exceptionally talented at your work.

Your true purpose is more like one of the following:

• To create

• To love

• To help people see how powerful they are

• Divine Love

• Connection

• Discovering the undiscovered

• Remember you are blessed, and be a blessing

• Etc.

Your purpose is not something you need to achieve. It is something you can rely on to help you navigate anything.

“Because I should,” “Because I have to,” or “Because more is automatically better” are not winning strategies for happiness or impact.

Some examples of some strategies to shift into when you notice you are in a draining or restraining one:

• Because I want to

• To bring me joy

• To bring joy to someone else

• To help someone solve a problem

• To help myself solve a problem

• To create connection

• To steward a life-giving mission or legacy

• Etc

One of the essential habits you can build to help you execute strategies that contribute to your happiness rather than detract from it is cross-checking your motivations when you feel pressured or resistant to take action that you “should” take. The most significant shift can come from noticing tiny leaks in your energy.

My purpose is to love unconditionally. I offer that yours is the same.

My purpose is not to get other people to love me and neither is yours. Especially when you feel pulled to make someone else’s departure from their purpose about you, remember your purpose is simply to love them.

You have nothing to prove or control, just a purpose to own.

Positioning yourself as the victim can make life easier because you don’t have to be responsible and do the work of moving forward. However, it is the type of ease that keeps us heavy and restrained.

Doing the “hard” (you can substitute hard with new or uncomfortable) work of taking 100 percent ownership of your responses to life from here on out is the only way to find lightness and freedom.

You deserve to have authentic ease in your life rather than a knock-off. Where is it time to release the mentality of victimhood and welcome in the context of choice and creativity?

The moment you most need it will be when you feel the most tempted to abandon it. This is true whether “it” is:

• Faith

• Self-care

• Unconditional love

• Understanding

• Patience

• Self-respect

• Boundaries

• Anything else useful

If you are considering substituting one of the above things with a less live-giving substitute like fear or blame, recognize this is the most critical moment to let the good stuff lead. This is what you have been learning for.

Focusing on anything else except your power to shift things for the better with love is a distraction.

Doubt, judgment, and fear will never get your soul where it wants to go. Notice the pull and keep your aim.

Things can feel exciting because they are new, and they can feel scary because they are new. The label we give something new creates our relationship with it. We may either run towards or away from it because of how we perceive it.

While we sometimes avoid things because they are new or are initially fascinated with them because they are new, we often get bored with things when they eventually feel predictable and comfortable. Our attention goes to avoiding or running toward the next new thing.

The antidote to our weird relationship with “new” is to realize that everything and every moment is new and that there is something inside of us that is steady and eternal. Our job is to stay connected to the steady when we feel reactivated by what feels new and to stay connected to curiosity and passion when we feel comfortable.

Things are always new, and the truth is always the same.

Where would it serve you to stay connected to the eternal truth?

Where would it serve you to seek newness?

One excuse many of us have for indulging in worry is that it will somehow protect us and others from bad things happening. It doesn’t.

Worry actually exposes us to the energy of the future thing we are hoping to avoid, therefore doing the opposite of what we want.

A better option for your peace of mind is to surrender to the fact that your future will have heartbreak in it, and from there, trust your future self to navigate that challenge and grow from it. This type of surrender allows you to be protected in the only way you can be- by choosing to respond to the present moment with love no matter what.

If worry exposes you and love protects you, what might you focus on today?

What would delight the people in your life that matter most to you?

Imagine that answer, and have fun executing what you see.

Delighting others is an act of service, which, in turn, delights our hearts.

Resisting your feelings and circumstances will guarantee you live a surface-level life.

Embracing, celebrating, and working with them guarantees a rich, deep, adventurous life.

Keep this in mind when your lower personality starts selling you on the “comfort” of resistance.

What is it time for you to embrace so you can tap into your creative power, which is your personal power?

As you become more expressed and put yourself out there by contributing more, an inevitable part of that is being judged by folks, some who you know and love and some who don’t.

Your brain’s reward system does not like being judged because it used to threaten our survival if we didn’t fit in with the group, which is why we avoid it. Accepting that you don’t like being judged, and we will allow you to set yourself up for success and support.

As you grow, spending time around people who love you, support you, understand what you are up to, and share similar values becomes even more critical. The love and positive feelings you receive from that elevated connection are the feelings that give you the boost to go the distance.

Set yourself up by letting yourself be loved.

True happiness comes from being willing to be the one to make the choices for your life, especially when it feels like you are moving into the unknown. It is only in trusting yourself to be present and be a contribution at every step that you will know your power.

Happiness is always there for you to receive when you take full responsibility for what you know.

If you want to be happy, is love.

We often try to replace love with another strategy that doesn’t feel as powerful or vulnerable. Some examples of poor substitute strategies are:

• Controlling others

• Focusing on agreement or disagreement

• Avoiding discomfort or failure

• Pretense to look good

• Being “right”

• Maintaining a victim mentality

• Worrying

• Judging others and being superior or inferior

• Concentrate on what’s wrong

• Etc.

These strategies may feel instantly rewarding as they help us feel safe in the short term, yet they cut us off from genuine human connection in the long run. If you want to be happy, practice noticing when you are implementing one of the able strategies and disciplining yourself to shift into love instead.

Rushing is a form of waiting.

Why do you rush through as if there is an endpoint that will make you happy, as if getting through life is the goal?

There is no happiness to get to. Contentment is something you receive through allowing it in and experiencing it. Stop waiting to be happy by rushing.

We work towards future happiness because we’ve forgotten we already have it if we choose it. The way to make the future idea of happiness useful is to remember we can connect to those “future” feelings now.

Hustling for a target that keeps moving further away makes us miss our lives. Remembering and integrating our most peaceful and successful versions of ourselves helps us be present to our blessings.

What does your future self want your present self to recall today?

Fear’s number one job is to get us to stop before we can even consider or experience the benefits.

Before you react and say no just because it makes you uncomfortable or scared, pause and make a list of all the potential benefits and imagine receiving them. Fear also likes to keep us thinking short term, rather than long-term, and happiness is a long-term game.

Of course, there will be downsides, especially if you consider discomfort a downside. Every benefit comes with a cost, and often that cost is the familiarity of our old selves. However, It’s likely it is totally worth the investment.

The most efficient way to get somewhere is going to be the most direct route.

You can only be direct if you are clear. If you want more of what you want in your life sooner rather than later, you have to be clear about what you want. If you feel like you aren’t able to be direct and confident, it’s likely some clarity is required.

Clarity is usually pretty simple once you decide to be courageous enough to see.
