Your parents may not be perfect human beings, as they too are souls on this journey of life and are here to learn lessons like you.
But what if you have the perfect parents for your soul’s growth and evolution in this lifetime?
Relationships with parents can be some of the most challenging and difficult to navigate.
Ask yourself: What are the lessons that your soul is seeking to learn with them?
They give birth to you, raise you, and impact so much of who you become.
Your feelings are a signal giving you feedback.
They are communicating to you, showing you what you need to pay attention to.
We are conditioned to only feel what we think of as “positive” feelings. And we tend to do everything to avoid “negative “ feelings.
We must realize that the more we suppress our sadness, the more we limit our capacity to feel joy.
Consider this: Feelings are neither good or bad. These are just labels we place on them as a means of survival.
Feelings are feedback.
Feelings are energy.
…… It’s sometimes hard to see you are in a toxic relationship when you are in it.
We get so invested and often can’t see clearly as we are clouded by our conditioning.
Some signs of a toxic relationship are more obvious, like mental, emotional, verbal or financial abuse, but some are much more subtle.
So here are a few signs of a toxic relationship:
Abundance is not about what you have, it’s about how you feel about what you have.
… And how you feel about who you are.
You see it’s not about what you have or not, but your relationship with ALL of it.
Just because you have a lot of money doesn’t make you abundant.
Money is material. It comes and goes.
Real abundance includes but is also beyond the material, it is a state of consciousness.
Abundance is your Being.
The more you access who you really are, the more you experience the abundance of your BEING.
Your being is one with everything and the source of life. Connect to that which you are, and you tap into an inexhaustible stream of energy beyond yourself. There is no lack there.
There is no scarcity in the INFINITE.
You can have the world but if you don’t have you, the REAL YOU, you are poor.
If you have millions of dollars but you live gripped in fear of losing it, you are poor.
If you accumulate masses of wealth but are too afraid to share it, you are poor.
If you are so attached to the things you own that they in turn own you, and you live in fear, you are poor.
If you have everything but don’t appreciate and enjoy what you have, and life’s simple miracles, you are poor.
If you hate your job, leave it.
Simple, but not always easy.
Life is too short to waste doing a job that you hate.
Every minute that you waste is time you can never get back.
Nothing is worth your life, happiness and freedom.
Acknowledging how much you hate your job is the first step. It takes courage.
Next, feel the pain of what it’s costing you to spend time doing what you hate.
Don’t distract yourself, feel it.
We all go through those moments when we feel like giving up.
Life can be challenging at times.
Perhaps you feel like you should be further along in life, or facing repeated failures in the pursuit of your dream and feeling like your goals aren’t manifesting quickly enough.
Remember that anything worthwhile takes patience, perseverance and effort.
If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. On the path of greatness, everyone is invited, but only a rare few have the courage and dedication to stay the full course and put in the consistent work it takes.
Greatness takes time.
And your patience will be rewarded.
The decisions you made yesterday got you to where you are today.
The decisions you make today will create your future tomorrow.
With your decisions, you have a power to sculpt your destiny.
Yet given the increased choices we have in our high tech age, making decisions on one level has become easier. You can now do it with the touch of a button. But on the other hand, it can be more difficult, since we have so many more options to choose from.
Have you ever had to make an important decision and felt unsure, confused, or even felt paralyzed?
The fear of making the wrong decision, the fear of missing out, or what other people will think can majorly affect your ability to decide authentically.
Have you ever felt so overwhelmed and stressed out?
Perhaps you were juggling so many things, handling so many responsibilities, facing an important deadline, or needing to make some important decisions.
Once you get caught up in the spiral of overthinking, it can be difficult to get out of it. You end up feeling overwhelmed from all the directions your mind is pulling you.
If you listen to those voices, they can be crippling and will rob you of your power, freedom and dreams.
You are not the voices in your head.
You are not your thoughts.
Just because your mind tells you something doesn’t mean it’s true.
To be free you must learn to develop a relationship with your mind. By recognizing … You are NOT your mind!!
Regret is a killer.
It robs you of your peace in the moment and limits your ability to create a fresh future.
Regret is that feeling when you look back from your future and wish you had done it differently.
We have all done things that we felt bad about and judged ourselves for from the past.
Whether it was:
Bad relationship choices.
The way you handled a break up.
Unwise financial decisions.
What are you still judging yourself for?
What regrets do you still have?
Maybe you have been holding yourself hostage, thinking you are a bad person or that God is judging you?

The FIRST step to making more money is an inner mindset shift.
A decision.
In order to make more money, you must decide to get in the game. Part of getting in the game is choosing to have more money in your life. I have seen many folks on the spiritual path who haven’t made this decision, deciding that money is not so important, and thus struggle in this area.
Money is an important facilitator for life experiences. In order to build temples, hospitals, schools, you need money.
In order to feed the homeless, provide clean water, or simply pay the rent requires money. There’s only so much prayer you can give to your landlord to cover your rent! There’s only so much prayer you can feed a starving child in Africa.
I believe that those people with awakened consciousness will only use the money they have in more impactful ways. So make the decision and use money as a blessing.
SECONDLY, being rich is not simply a matter of how much money you have in your bank account. But how you feel about yourself, and how you feel about what you have.
Being rich is being connected to who you really are. As you connect to the real you, you realize that what you really are is infinite and priceless. You can have all the material possessions in the world, but if you don’t have YOU, then you are poor.
Your life is your art.
Your heart is your paintbrush.
With each word, thought, and action you take, you are sculpting your destiny.
You are an artist.
Do you like what you see?
Creativity is not just for artists, singers, and performers.
Creativity is your birthright.
“The universe does not do do-overs, make mistakes or repeat itself, and it does not do meaningless acts. So who we are has meaning, value and is one-of-a-kind.”
Success is an elusive concept. It is easy to feel unworthy or unsuccessful when comparing yourself to the rich and famous. However, celebrity and success are not necessarily synonymous. Listen to this insightful interview with Michael Beckwith, founder and spiritual director of the Agape International Spiritual Center, and learn how unlock the beauty, creativity and success in all areas of your life.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
We have all done it at some point.
Tomorrow. Another time. Next week.
We have put off until tomorrow what we know we must do today.
What have you been putting off doing?
What important things are you procrastinating dealing with?
We make excuses that sound reasonable.
We lie to ourselves.
We settle for our own seemingly rational mind games.
Yet, we must remember that nothing great was achieved by being reasonable or conforming to the status quo.
Gandhi didn’t.
Nelson Mandela didn’t.
Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t.
They were unreasonable in not listening to their fears or succumbing to their laziness.
Don’t let your fear or laziness highjack your dreams.
Your dreams have chosen you for a reason. You are the perfect person based on everything you have experienced in life to manifest it.
You have no control of what other people think about you.
The only control that you have is over yourself, and how you respond.
Your responsibility is not to make others happy but to be yourself fully.
People’s opinions of you reflect more about themselves than about you. So don’t take it personally. Just because they judge you a certain way, or have a negative opinion of you, doesn’t mean it’s true.
It’s just their opinion. It’s their perception, and perception is not reality.
Our perception is a projection based on our current level of consciousness which is determined by our conditioning and experiences.
So make peace with who you are, and who you aren’t. The more you love and accept yourself, the less you will seek it from others.
