The Path To Health, Happiness And Inner Peace

This 7th of April is World Health Day, and I would like us to reflect on the importance of health, not only physical but spiritual. And, more importantly, how it can help you achieve happiness and inner peace.

Health is an issue that concerns us all — not just as individuals but as a society. The quality of health we enjoy dictates the quality of our lives. Unfortunately, there are people who live condemned lives because of their poor health. How many times do we see someone who lives in a state of low energy, full of guilt and resentment, simply because they were given a bad diagnosis? We must realize that behind each disease (and poor health) there is a blessing and a lesson. The worst thing we can do is worry about ill health or to let it turn ourselves into victims.

When a doctor tells you that you have an illness, the first thing you should do is say “thank you,” then release it, telling the sickness “I love you.” We must understand that health problems, in reality, are accumulated memories from our past replaying in the subconscious mind. That is why you do not have to resist. Remember, what you resist, persists. The best way to deal with a disease is to relax, breathe and release.

Pain is a sign that there is something we must change. Sometimes the body needs to let go, and it does so through pain or discomfort. I know it is natural to worry about our sickness. We think it’s bad luck or our destiny. In doing so, we make things worse, unaware that things can change. Of course, this depends on our attitude towards life and all its challenges. One can choose to move on no matter what illness one has. Do not engage and you will realize that there is a solution to every problem. There is always a blessing behind. Some learning and growing up to do.

Imagine that you are going down a road; you run into the disease, observe it and let it go. Go around your disease as the river does when it finds a rock. Remember that even when you are not in good health, you can choose to be happy and at peace. Most of the time diseases are a sign of what we are thinking. When we change our thoughts, we change everything, and please know that if you are thinking, you are living in the past.

It is also wise to remember that good health and peace is brought about by physical activity. Sport is a vehicle for social interaction and a clear incentive to feel good and be healthy. It is no coincidence that World Health Day lands on the same day as the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace.

If we can all understand that physical activity is not just a hobby, but also a way to obtain a better quality of life, it will help us to feel good about ourselves. I like to think of sport as jogging towards peace — a step towards happiness and liberation from old memories. It is letting go and moving forward.

While I was on my 2019 tour through Mexico and Colombia (where I shared my teachings on Ho’oponopono, Zero Frequency® and The Easiest Way to Peace, Happiness, and Abundance), I found exercising gave me the strength and energy to share more love. It always makes me feel good when I know that I am taking good care of myself. I cannot give what I do not have. None of us can.

This last trip also helped me to share another important aspect related to health: the addiction to food. It is an addiction that happens to many of us — one that allows us to understand emotional pain more. Many of us waste too much energy and valuable time thinking about food all the time. This is caused by several factors, including stress, anxiety, and suffering.

Of course, we have to work on this addiction and have patience with ourselves. There is a series of steps that you can follow to leave food addiction behind. It mainly consists of making your behavior conscious — how you do it and why. This is followed by being willing to sit down with your feelings. Do not be afraid of them. Ho’oponopono, the ancient Hawaiian art of problem-solving, and your work with your inner child (your subconscious mind) could help a lot. Your inner child is the part of you that handles both your physical and emotional lives.

Health is a total state of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being, and not just the absence of disease or illness. Having health means being in balance, at peace with ourselves, and always grateful for what we have instead of what we think we lack.

I hope that everyone, including myself, can reflect and work for better health and well-being, understanding that if we are happy, in peace and health, the world will be too.

Reconquer the power that’s within you

It’s time to connect with your power. Now and forever.

Women of the world have a power that makes them unique and unbeatable. Unfortunately, over the years, we have struggled to break down gender prejudices and stereotypes that have been created to differentiate us from men — to describe us as weak and lesser than. Even today, we are still fighting these same stereotypes.

Right now, you might feel that you have lost the inner strength that tells you when you must fight. You might feel this way because you are tied to an abusive relationship or a job where your talent is dismissed, or because of some false idea you have of yourself. Either way, now is the time to get that power back — to make the change that will allow you to discover who you are. How powerful you are!

And let’s be clear, women are powerful in so many ways. We have the power to release what hurts us, the power to say no, and the power to know that we deserve the best in life. We also have the power to recognize that even though we have fear, we are still strong. In fact, we are strong because we can accept that we are not perfect or wonder women.

It’s time to break down the barrier that prevents us from being happy, from loving who we are. It’s time to stomp strong with every step we take, letting go and trusting.

We cannot show weakness any longer. It is time to let go of submission, dependency, and victim mentality. We alone have full responsibility for our happiness. Only when we change, the world will change.

Whether we are a housewife, businesswoman, spouse, or daughter, we must remember that if we are happy, those around us will also be happy.

Currently, the idea of equal rights has been misrepresented. We think that we should be equal to men, which makes us believe we have to compete with them.

However, we must understand that we all have unique talents which make us different, and accepting those differences is part of achieving equality. Nobody is like you, and that is your power.

We should not strive to be like men. We should strive to collaborate and share all of life’s responsibilities. Because you are a housewife, doesn’t mean that you are less than your spouse who goes to an office. Raising your children and meeting the household chores carries a power of organization as strong as any job in any company. Don’t forget that you and your spouse are a team and the duties you both perform are essential for the success of the family.

It doesn’t matter if you work at home, in an office or are managing your own business; your value as a woman remains the same. We’re just using our skills in different ways. At the end of the day, if what you do makes you happy, it means you’re on the right path.

There is something that I have always believed in and constantly stress in my seminars: We women need to trust our inspiration and in the magical and mysterious part of life. When we connect with our own inspiration, we will find all the solutions to our problems. We will know which road to take. There is no room for doubt or fear. This is a wonderful power that we all share.

Tomorrow, when you wake up, begin by making a mental list of all the things for which you can be grateful for. Look yourself in the mirror and make the decision to accept and love yourself just the way you are. Trust your own inspiration. Put yourself first and do what works for you. From this moment forward, do not see yourself as a victim. No more sacrifices. Those days are over. If there is something that doesn’t make you happy, simply let it go. Happiness starts with you!

With Ho’oponopono you can delete the mental files that cause depression

"Instead of getting depressed, it is easier to be in our natural state of happiness, and it is very easy to achieve it."

According to the World Health Organization, this condition shockingly is the leading cause of disability worldwide, with 300 million people suffering from it, so I am not surprised that I’m asked frequently whether Ho’oponopono can help to eliminate it.

The answer is very simple because, as I always explain, with the practice of this wonderful old Hawaiian art for eliminating problems, interpretations and self-limiting thoughts, such as those that cause us to sink into sadness and discouragement, these can be erased.

Depression can stay forever out of your life by choosing to live in the present moment, in what I called Zero Frequency® because it allows you to eliminate mental files or memories that can cause damage, even subconsciously.

We also have to ask ourselves: What does the person who lets themselves become discouraged and unhappy achieve? Perhaps get the attention of the people close to them so they can take care of them? Is that why this behavior becomes a habit, even “natural” and “accepted,” that we become addicted to being depressed?

Osho, the Master Zen said, that in order to let go of what makes you miserable, you need to be willing to let go of the benefit you think you are getting or you will get from it.

Sure, this is not a conscious level, which is why people have a hard time taking 100% responsibility. But actually realizing is just your programs, you can set yourself free from them.

You have to put a lot of effort into being depressed; it’s easier to allow ourselves to be in our natural state of happiness. This is easy to achieve; you just have to “decide” to do things differently and not to engage, and give the power to these replayed memories. Move and stretch the muscles of the body for the energy to flow. Even the very act of smiling — as most would agree — causes a feeling of great well-being. It’s been proven that smiles are contagious and helps keep everyone from being depressed!

On the other hand, did you know that depression often has to do with the lack of water? Although it seems incredible, hospitals use hydration to stabilize mood, so even just drinking the vital fluid helps us to feel better.

If the hydration comes from Blue Solar Water, even better. Blue Solar Water is one of the tools we use in Ho’oponopono, this ancient Hawaiian art of problem solving that I teach, and that helps us erase those programs in our subconscious mind that attract depression an so much unhappiness to our lives. Most of these programs comes from ancestors!

On the same subject, I remember a student who called me a while ago, very depressed, and because of how bad she felt, her doctor wanted to admit her into a hospital for the mentally ill, which would stop her from attending the training that Ihaleakalá and I were giving in San Diego, California.

We recommended using the Ho’oponopono tool of 3/4 glass of water and after doing so, she was able to drive to San Diego, where she arrived with a big smile saying that after changing the water three times, she felt like new.

Another exemplary story is Teresa, a student from Ho’oponopono who suffered a breakdown. They feared the worst because she had very high blood pressure and her heart might stop. She was even afraid to fall asleep and not wake up again, which led her to a constant state of anxiety and panic.

Teresa lived in Hawaii and since the doctors could not help her, she had no choice but to go to the emergency room. She was admitted to the psychiatric ward where she was given high doses of antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications. She was hospitalized four times in four years in a psychiatric unit without resolving her great anxiety and emotional pain. What the doctors did was prescribe more drugs, but since they did not go to the root of the problem, she deteriorated.

Later, she moved to San Diego, where she began to study energy healing and found the Ho’oponopono method whose cleansing processes she practiced religiously. To her surprise, according to her testimony, after discovering the Ho’oponopono seminar that she described as “a beautiful, perfect, sacred, miraculous process,” she was able to throw away the addictive antidepressants.

In conclusion, it is indispensable to be aware that if the memory of a depression tries to occupy a place in your life, know that you have a choice! And remember, to release depression you can say “Thank you” or “I love you” and doing so, you let go and let God (Love), who knows best how to erase these memories that keep controlling you and taking you to the past, and to fill your heart with beautiful things. Choose to let go of depression and sit in the driver’s seat!

Put Yourself First

Most people don’t have a hard time telling you what they want out of life—to be happy, find love, enjoy a rewarding career, pursue passions. However, the challenging part is figuring out how to make those dreams come true. We’re taught from an early age to work hard, go to school, and live a good life, and while these are perfectly good suggestions, there is an even better solution. I like to call it one of the world’s best kept secrets to living the life you want to live, while also helping those around you live their best lives as well. What is it?

It’s putting yourself first.

If you’re like most people, you probably rolled your eyes, or mumbled “impossible,” believing that putting yourself first is a luxury for the rich and pampered, or even worse, the selfish. Or maybe you’re the type of person who believes that in order to be loved and accepted you have to say yes to everyone. Or you believe that you need to save the world. Or that it’s your responsibility to make your family and friends happy and successful. Regardless of your reasoning, it's all the same thing—putting yourself last at the expense of others. And if you do this long enough, my friends, it will drain the life right out of you, until you have no space and energy left for your own dreams.

It’s time to step up to the front of the line, where all your dreams are waiting. Join me for a special Q&A as I show you how to put yourself first. It’s about time, right?

Putting yourself first takes reframing the entire way you look at yourself and your role in the world. It takes learning to say no and letting go of your ego and all the old tapes that say it’s your job to make the world perfect, or that you are responsible for others. Putting yourself first is allowing others to have their experiences so they can learn and grow, thus allowing you to pursue your own path. To do this, you must let go the control and learn to surrender to the Universe. It is an act of honoring your body, mind, and spirit, which can only happen if you are listening to what your body wants, and what the Universe needs.

But the payoff is worth it. As soon as you put yourself first, you will have more happiness, more energy, and more respect from others, along with better relationships, and freedom from fear and stress. More than that, you will be able to fill up your own tank so that you can do what fuels your Soul. This is the greatest gift you can give to your family and friends. To the Universe.

Join me on a journey to find the real you.

Better yet, be first in line. It’s where you belong.

Love,

Learning together to be happy

World Down Syndrome Day

It is no coincidence that International Happiness Day is a day before World Down Syndrome Day. The reason is simple — people with Down syndrome are the happiest people on earth.

On my travels around the world, I have visited many schools for children with Down syndrome. I have learned firsthand how truly happy and accepted these children are in their schools. Of course, when I come home and visit what others call “normal” schools, I see how unhappy people are — anxious, upset, fearful. This is a paradox.

The fact is, many parents of children with Down syndrome are not happy. They believe they’ve had bad luck, and that the weight of their life is too much for them. They feel sorry for themselves, and what they have to go through, believing that they are all alone.

There is a lesson here for us all. It is this: if we are not happy, our children will not be happy either. We must think about ourselves first. And, let’s be clear, this is not a selfish act. We teach by example, and our children are watching us. They can tell when we’re not feeling good. That’s why it is essential that we begin by accepting and trusting ourselves. It is only then that we will begin to be happy. I assure you that everything will be a lot easier when we do.

Not too long ago in Bucharest, a pair of sisters came to one of my seminars. One of them came up to me at the end of the first day; she had come with the expectation that I could heal her sister, who had Down syndrome. She had heard what my teacher, Dr. Ihaleakalá, had accomplished at the psychiatric hospital in Hawaii, and thought Ho’oponopono was her answer.

Fortunately, I was able to convince her that only God knows why things happen to us. And only God knows what is correct and perfect for each one of us. She came to understand that being grateful for, and accepting, what we have in our life is what brings healing and peace, along with many other blessings. The most important change in her perception happened when I told her that I noticed her sister was doing “very well” and seemed much happier than the two of us.

It must be understood that the Earth is a school and we have come to this school to learn and to discover who we are. Knowing this, it is easier to accept and understand that, for some reason, this soul came into our life, and that it’s not a punishment, but a blessing. I always say that our children are our teachers, and kids with disabilities are our advanced teachers.

The problem is that we have constantly been judging and criticizing, and have not left any space for inspiration to come into our lives. On the other hand, the children with Down syndrome, autism, and other disabilities are connected to many things that we can’t even see, touch or feel. These children are an example of unconditional love.

They’re trying to show us how the universe and life works. What is important. We are the ones who need to change, not them; that’s why I reaffirm that they are teachers at an advanced level.

There is a quote that I like very much. “God doesn’t create anything that is not perfect.” It’s true. These children are already perfect as they are; we are the ones who label and box them. Who are we to decide what is right or wrong? Normal or not? Let’s begin to see them as God sees them. Let’s accept that they are here to teach us about unconditional love.

We should be grateful for what we have, not what we think we should have, or what we think we need or would like to have. We can start by accepting what was given to us because it’s perfect for us. It’s a blessing even if it doesn’t seem like it. A gift.

Some parents of children with autism or Down syndrome come to my seminars and tell me beautiful experiences about the changes they’ve seen when practicing techniques like Ho’oponopono. They see positive changes in their children. They now smile more, and their way of communicating with the outside world has also changed. When parents practice Ho’oponopono, their children benefit from it. It is transmitted through example.

These parents decided to take 100% responsibility (not fault), and they began to look at their children in the same way as God sees them. They leave behind judgments, fears, expectations, and above all, worrying about what others will say or think. They decided to accept, let go and trust. They realize they cannot do it all by themselves, so they let God take care of them and guide them every step. They’ve decided to be happy.

Accept, love, and learn from your children. You’ll see that they will teach you to stop looking for happiness in all the wrong places. They will teach you to stop worrying, and taking life too seriously. They will teach you to be happy. To love. Find joy. Appreciate the world around you. Let them help you change. And as we say in Ho’oponopono: when you change, everything else changes.

Accept yourself and be you!

Be careful what you’re thinking about!

Most importantly, be careful what you think about yourself. You must love and accept yourself just as you are. When you feel good about yourself, everyone else will. When you accept and love yourself, everyone else will love you and accept you too.

It is imperative that we do what works for us, what feels good in our hearts.

Can you remember a moment in which you allowed yourself to be you and completely trusted the Universe? These are the moments when you followed your heart and made decisions based purely on a feeling, your natural wisdom. They were always the correct decisions, though you couldn’t always explain why.

In these moments, you probably didn’t care what others thought of you. You felt confident in yourself, trusting yourself. You felt so good and strong in your heart that it didn’t matter what others said or thought of you. In these moments, you discovered that you were invincible and that everything is possible.

When you are yourself, you know that there are no limits and you are aligned with a very strong universal law. This is the law of the minimum effort, which is based on the fact that nature’s intelligence operates in a natural and easy way. You don’t try to be, you simply are. When you are natural, spontaneous, open, and flexible, you are in alignment with this law. You don’t waste your energy. Instead, you use that energy to easily attract, at any moment, whatever is correct and perfect for you. You do less and obtain more. The Universe begins to fill you up with personal and financial blessings.

“To be or not to be” is the only real question

Osho, the great Zen master, said: “You must lose everything in order to be you.”

Osho wasn’t referring to losing wealth. He was saying that you must let go of everything that is not you. This letting go is the key to happiness, wealth and life success. To be who you really are is to let go of what has been programmed in your subconscious mind, all the memories, beliefs and prejudices. In fact, almost everything that you have decided to believe is not you and does not define who you really are. You are not your problems, your opinions, nor your value judgements. You are beyond all of that.

To be or not to be is the only real question. Your job is to come back to be you. And in order to return to being you, you must do nothing other than remember how to be. You must let go of all the knowledge you have acquired. You must unlearn what you have learned in order to be able to connect with your own wisdom (the one that is in your heart), so that you may regain your natural rhythm.

Maybe now you’re asking yourself: What does it mean “to be” myself and nothing else?

To be you is to be happy; it’s to be in peace with yourself and everything else around you. To be you is to be at Zero. You are at Zero when your intellect (your conscious mind) and your emotions (your unconscious mind) no longer control you. Only then can you become an open channel to receive the right ideas and perfect solutions. You begin to hear things you have never heard before; you become an observer, seeing things you have never perceived before. You feel that you are flowing, even lucky. Things simply happen, without much intervention or effort.

At Zero, you are yourself; thus you feel satisfied, complete and happy in your heart. At Zero, you know that you can conquer the world; understand that nobody can stop you. You feel sure that everything is possible. What others think becomes unimportant.

The key to happiness, peace and personal and financial freedom in life is within us. It’s our identity. Our true identity is the key to attract wealth and success, and that is why it is so important that we let go our false beliefs.

Don’t be afraid to be yourself. It’s easier than you think. It’s your natural state of being. This is the way in which you begin to return, slowly, to yourself; through the practice of letting go and not listening to your ego. You start returning to being yourself when you stop doing everything you “should” be doing (which is what others believe is the correct thing to do), and begin to pay attention to what makes you feel good and happy, even if you cannot explain it or it doesn’t make sense. You have not lost who you are; in fact, you could never lose who you are. You have only forgotten who you are.

Now is the moment to remember and come back home.

OVERCOMING ANALYSIS PARALYSIS TO LIVE AN INSPIRED LIFE

Do you live freely, or are you in your mind jail? Whatever your problems or goals are, don’t think! Let your own inspiration flow.

What happens when we think too much without considering our connection with the cosmic intelligence? What happens when we believe that we will find a better solution on our own? We put many arguments on the table to choose one, but that only brings doubts about which one is better. In the end, this often leads us to not the wisest choice, but whatever the memory dictates, or whichever programming in our subconscious screams the loudest.

This explains the statistical results, which tells us that approximately ninety percent of business issues are not resolved during working hours, being the time when we are entirely connected with the intellect. Of course, it’s not the reasoning that solves our problems. Inspiration generates the best ideas, which arise when we relax the thought process, like when we’re in the shower in the morning, or when we dream, take a walk or read a good book.

Beethoven put this into practice. He enjoyed taking long walks and always with his notepad, always ready to write. He loved to be inspired by nature. Likewise, the inventors of the internet didn’t know where their idea came from. All the great inventors receive ideas or solutions at the least expected moments.

When the snake crosses a path.

People always ask me, “How do you decide what to do and not to do? When do you decide to act on something or not? How do you decide what is good for you?” I explain that I don’t know. I follow my heart because then I know that it’s ok. The secret is to act from inspiration without thinking — to leave aside what we have learned, what is correct or incorrect, what is good or bad.

For example, if a snake crosses your path, do you walk away immediately or do you start to think about it? If you think about it, you will not have the time to walk away, and before you could make a decision, the snake will probably bite you. I don’t know about you, but I do not want a snake to bite me!

This applies to all aspects of your life. When you act “naturally” and “instinctively,” things flow. However, when you think too much, and analyze over and over, you lose your natural rhythm, and everything becomes more difficult. When you think, you start to worry, and when you start to worry, you are not in the flow. You are not at zero, and thus, the inspiration cannot reach you.

Looking backward in time is when you can see how inspiration works. In my case, if I observe the past, and I like what I see, I realize that I did something which made my heart feel good. I know I couldn’t have done it from the intellect.

My greatest experience, with regards to the inspiration flow, is during the seminars, or when I’m being interviewed. I never know what I’m going to say. I do the presentations without thinking. I just speak. In my early days, I even surprised myself. When I began teaching with my Internet and telephone classes, and I was still working as an accountant, I didn’t want to know in advance the questions I would be asked. I knew that my intellect would get involved. When the questions came improvised, the answers would just flow, and my responses would always be what the other person needed to hear.

The latest example of how inspiration can flow through me was an experience I had in Mexico, where I presented in front of eighty inmates at a women’s jail.

One hundred and thirteen inmates were invited to my presentation, from which only eighty chose to attend. In spite of my Ho’oponopono practice, I was still surprised when I was in front of them. I realized that I saw them from a loving point of view, simply as the human beings they were, without any personal opinions or judgments.

The biggest surprise I felt were the things I said to them. Although I am used to flowing with inspiration at the seminars and freely responding to questions from attendees, this particular jail experience changed my life. I realized what it was like tocompletely let the inspiration flow, and the ability it has to affect our lives and others. I found myself telling the inmates what they could truly absorb and what could help them, but not from the intellect or what would have been correct to say. Among many other things, I advised them to make of their time in jail as if it were a spiritual retreat, where they had the opportunity to connect with themselves and discover their true identity. Inside the prison, they were free from many worries, and they should take advantage of that.

I also suggested for them to write books, which could even impact the lives of people outside the jail. I emphasized that outside the jail we are not free, although we believe we are. We live in a permanent jail, full of stress and overloaded with worry.

It is very important for those of us who are “outside,” to be thankful for the opportunity to move around and make so many life decisions. We should remember more often to thank God for all the many blessings that we enjoy in our everyday lives, without taking them for granted.

And you?

Do you live freely, or are you in your mind jail? Whatever your problems or goals are, don’t think! Don’t think about how you will do something or when the answer will come. Remain open. Let your own inspiration flow. Let go and trust.

The answer will come spontaneously when you least expect it.

Can a person who has suffered from abuse ever forgive?

Don’t hurt yourself any longer. You deserve to be happy!

To forgive is sometimes difficult, even more, if it’s because of abuse or an unfair situation which has made you suffer. Abuse can leave deeper scars than physical ones, such as fear, mistrust, and sadness. The best way to overcome the pain is to stop carrying it, and through forgiveness, decide to be free.

There are many women who have suffered abuse, and now they help others cope with these difficult situations. They are making a difference in their own lives, as well as in the lives of many others. They succeeded because they decided not to be victims. On the contrary, they chose to forgive and be happy. The best way to be happy is to let go and forgive, so it does not allow that resentment to continue doing more damage.

Our problem is that sometimes we are not sufficiently aware to realize that when we take responsibility, we are accepting that there is a blessing behind the problem. When we accept responsibility, we stop blaming, regain our power, and learn to become better people. It’s important to stop analyzing and try to understand everything that is happening to us. It’s better to let go and observe — to live more in the present time.

Remember, the problem is not the problem. The problem is our reaction to the problem.

If we want the future to be different, we must let go of the past which has brought us pain. We must briefly live our grief, and then leave it behind and return to the present time as fast as possible.

Ho´oponopono is a very ancient Hawaiian art for problem-solving, which is based on reconciliation and forgiveness. The word Ho’oponopono means to amend and/or correct an error. According to this philosophy, everything that appears in our lives is a thought, memory, or program which appears in order to give us the opportunity to let it go and erase it.

The reality is that to let go and forgive heals and frees us. The anger and resentment we keep are emotions which are very heavy to carry. If you let go of the heavy luggage which you are carrying, not only will you move faster in life, but you will be free! Stop taking the poison, and waiting for the effect to hit someone else.

You need to get your strength back and continue with life and, under no circumstances, stop your projects or abandon your wishes. Don’t hurt yourself any longer. You deserve to be happy!

The End of Regret (And the Beginning of a New Life)

When it comes to living a big and bold life, there are lots of obstacles that get in our way—fear, perfectionism, complacency, laziness, blame, lack of persistence, and much more. We each have our own demons to fight on this path to live a happy and abundant life.

However, there is a common enemy we all share. It is a universal demon that strikes us all. Like a cancer cell, we might not even know it’s there, but it is quietly lurking, then slowly growing, until it eventually squeezes the life and joy right out of us. That enemy is regret. It keeps you frozen in the past and unable to see opportunities that are right in front of your face. In other words, it can destroy your future—should you let it. Fortunately, we can defeat this enemy once and for all. We just need to look it squarely in the eye and say No More!

My friends, it’s time to say good-bye to regret once and for all, so that we may all start living the beautiful life we deserve. Join me in this month’s special Q&A:

The End of Regret
(And the Beginning of a New Life)
Wednesday, February 27th, 1:00 PM PT

Regret is the feeling of loss or sorrow at what might have been or a sincere wish that we could undo a previous choice we made. We all have regrets—jobs we didn’t take, challenges we avoided, chances we missed, dreams we abandoned. By any definition, regret is a life lived in the rear-view mirror, one in which we continuously look to the past, only to find misery and pain.

But, regret gets us nowhere. Ask anyone living with regret, and they’ll tell you how easy it is to get swept away into a vortex of pain, sorrow, and suffering. If left unchecked, it becomes depression, resentment, and bitterness. Before we know it, we have been robbed of life and passion. It destroys us.

So, let’s begin by acknowledging that our past is simply experiences that allow us to awaken in this moment, stronger and more powerful than ever.

Most importantly, when you are living in the past, with your eyes in the rear-view mirror, you always end up missing what’s right in front of you. Now. This Moment. And it is only in the moment where you will be able to change your future. It is only in the moment where you will find peace.

You cannot build on regret. Stop wasting energy.

Join me for this special Q&A event and together we can finally say good-bye to regret and the never-ending loop that replays the past again and again. It’s time to get back to the moment where you can begin creating your beautiful new life.

With Love,
