create a non-striving business
The general idea is this: we are a conduit for Divine energy/purpose to manifest. We are channels, we are the mouthpiece, we surrender, we hand it over, and we become part of something much larger than ourselves. We are fulfilled and happy, and everything is glorious. All good. Really. But you MUST take care of your … [Read more...]
I've been going through my books as part of a de-cluttering jag. I found this one - which I loved when I read it and I now think I need to re-read. It's called The Renaissance Soul "Life Design for People with Too Many Passions to Pick Just One". Does the thing you are doing, even though you enjoy it, never feel like … [Read more...]
I've just had a revelation. I've been feeling all BLAH about this blog, and about writing in general, and trying to figure out why do I write anyway. I think what happened is I briefly got caught up in the whole blogging-twittering-"internet famous"-popularity-contest aspect of blogging. Which can be fun and all (I … [Read more...]
I did a vision board workshop with Kaya last weekend, here is what I made: It is sort of a progression as you start at the bottom and go up. The theme is summed up in the statement in the middle - "The seeds of our inner light and vision germinate as the darkness begins to wane." This year's board came together … [Read more...]
I subscribe to a daily quote about the Law of Attraction and this morning it was: We would like you to release the word "achieve" or "earn" from your vocabulary and from your understanding, altogether, and we would like you to replace those words with the word "allow". You're wanting to allow your Well-being, not achieve … [Read more...]
A year or so ago I made a document called "My Heart's Desire", and listed what I wanted out of life. I just came across it and decided to update it. I'm struck by the difference. The one I made before focuses a lot on what I want to get. And they are mostly things I didn't have yet (a business that runs itself … [Read more...]
There are two types of faith:* Blind faith is when you act as if something is true, when you don't have any evidence of it being true (yet). Understanding faith is when you've experienced what you believe in, at least to some extent, and you believe because you have experienced how it works. You might also have had … [Read more...]
There's this idea that our purpose in life is this defined, concrete thing, and that if we find it our lives will "click" and if we don't we'll forever be wandering and lost and not really "living up to our potential". I'm beginning to think that maybe that's all BS. We all definitely have needs for self-awareness and … [Read more...]
I don't make commitments from my mind alone. I always check in with my soul. Mind-only commitments lead to ego-commitments rather than soul-commitments. For instance, I've tried making a commitment to making a certain dollar figure per month or year. It just doesn't work for me. Because I'm not really committed to it. … [Read more...]
Employed people from time to time tell me something like this: "My job sucks. I have to work all the time. No one appreciates me. Maybe I should start my own business. Oh, but I don't know. My job pays pretty well. And I have benefits. Maybe I should just be happy with it." If this is where you are, my guess is you may … [Read more...]
