Everybody arrives on this planet with unique desires, gifts, and talents, and as you journey through life, your job is to discover what yours are, to nurture them and to bloom into the most authentic, gleeful, and badassiest version of yourself.
Our beliefs, along with our thoughts and words, are at the root of everything we experience in life, which is why consciously choosing what rolls around in your mind and falls out of your mouth is one of the most important things you can do.
The walls of your comfort zone are lovingly decorated with your lifelong collection of favorite excuses.
Accept that you don’t have to know how to do what you don’t know how to do yet, and that the Universe will lead the way.
Giving and receiving money is an energetic exchange between people, and your job is to consciously get your frequency in alignment with the money you desire to manifest and open yourself up to receiving it.
Money always comes to you through other people, but it comes from Universal Intelligence, as do all things. Which is why focusing on the frequency of your thoughts, not the people you hope to make money from, is the key to getting rich.
Words are powerful tools for connecting with our fellow humans, to share with them information, love, hilarity, ideas, chicken piccata recipes. The more you slow down and shut up, the better chance you have to make powerful choices, and the more space you have to catch yourself in the moment and ask: Why am I about to say this?
Hesitation is the crack that all your favorite excuses will burst through, drown out your resolve, and sweep you back to the safety of your comfort zone.
Vague aspirations lead to vague results; specific aspirations lead to kicking ass.
Taking action leads to answers, mulling ideas around in your head forever leads to indecision and grouchiness.
Get clear on what you desire, get specific—What is your purpose? How much money do you desire to make by expressing this purpose? By when will you make this money? Why do you desire it, what is it for? Hold the vision of this reality in your mind with a no-nonsense resolve and a relentless sense of purpose to make it real.
Worrying is praying for stuff you don’t want.
Changing your focus to the positives of what you have and what you desire changes your attitude and raises your frequency so you can align your energy with, and open yourself up to, everything you need to change your life: the moneymaking opportunities you didn’t notice before, the people you can help and the people who can help you, and the ability to visualize a bigger life for yourself.
When it comes to changing your life, if you’re not scared, you’re doing something wrong.
The Universe wants you to grow and bloom into the most glorious version of yourself. Growth happens through friction and challenge, and the lessons we learn through these experiences.
When you have faith that everything happens as it’s meant to, you open yourself up to receive the lesson, to stay the course until you’re successful, and to not totally lose your shit.
We are energetic beings driven by emotion, so if your surroundings depress you, it’s critical that you do whatever you can to brighten things up. Slap on a fresh coat of paint, clean your windows, hang up pictures from magazines of places you’d love to live in or visit and look at them all the time, get some plants, tidy up your clutter, throw a nice bedspread over your ratty couch, and if you’ve got sheets thumbtacked over the windows, please, get some damn curtains.
Healthy competition is a wonderful thing. Surround yourself with people who are bringing their A game and you will want to bring your A game too.
My husband and I live by the belief that money doesn’t make you happy, money gives you options. So we’ve been able to pay off debt, travel, invest in our savings and retirement. But I don’t believe money has changed us.
Being patient instead of high strung and freaked out makes you feel a whole lot better because it creates space for you to enjoy life in a way that rushing around blocks out.
The more you push yourself to do the things you’re scared to do, the stronger your confidence muscle will become.
The high-frequency energy that goes out when we give always comes back to us. It may or may not come back via the person we gave to, but it absolutely always comes back in some form. We are here to share, we really are, which is why greed doesn’t bring joy to anyone.
When you choose freedom and happiness over wanting to be right or to be seen, you win. Get out of victim mode, remember everyone is just as obsessed with themselves and their own feelings as you are with yours, and stop taking everything personally.
