Things Happen for a Reason!

I consider myself to be a happy and friendly person. Most of you who know and work with me will probably agree. For the most part, my life is easy, fun and love-filled. But that was not exactly the case last week.

Last week, conflict was coming at me. The strangest things were happening all around. People were confronting, swearing, upset, and confused. In 4 days, I had 3 situations where I was the hub of some unsettling frustration and stress. What was going on?

One of the things I LOVE about the work I do is taking full responsibility for creating everything in my life. I know I am not a victim of anything. I know that things are happening for a reason. And in that knowing, I just need to pay attention to what is going on around me to understand what is going on inside of me.

I know I attract and create everything in my life. I also know, what I see in my outer world is a direct reflection of what’s going on in my inner world. When I am living in the higher frequencies of love, beauty, fun and trust, I find myself surrounded with much love, beauty, fun and trust. When I hold inner conflict such as confusion, frustration or anger, my feedback is outer conflict.

I was experiencing conflict. So, where was this conflict inside of me? After slowing things down enough to notice, here’s what I discovered.

Always being open to new ideas, I have been working with some leaders in my industry to grow my business. Much of what I am learning is fun and empowering. And, there are a few things that just don’t resonate with me at all. Because I have such respect for these “successful” people and admire how they are helping so many people, I continued to model after these “experts”.

I wanted to do it “right.”

The thing is, some things that might be working for them were not feeling right for me. And no matter how powerful these things are for others, if they are not feeling right for me, they are not going to work for me.

After connecting with my higher self through meditation, quiet moments and a little help from my coach, I realized I was trying to implement some ideas in my business, not because I wanted to, but because I thought I “should.” It didn’t take me long to realize it was scoring less than a 7 or 8 on my “Happiness Meter” (see “Happiness is an Inside Job!”). This was the inner struggle.

As soon as I realized my inner conflict, it was like a huge space opened up around me. Instead of feeling the constricting emotions of worry and doubt and trying to “make” it happen,

I felt optimistic and hopeful again… expansive emotions! Instead of listening to my ego tell me what I should be doing, I followed my heart. My inner peace returned and I began to trust my intuition again. From this place, I do what I love and love what I do. I trust the right people will find me.

And that’s exactly what showed up. As soon as I made the connection and let it go, I received three new clients in three days. Once again, my world is immersed in connection, love and joy!

 

Take Action Now! Take a moment and look around your world. What do you see in your life that is reflecting back your beliefs, fears or emotions? Begin by asking yourself these questions: Do you find yourself never having quite enough money? If so, what are your deeper beliefs about money and people who have money? Are the people around you angry? Where are you holding anger? Are you afraid of being judged by others? How might you be judging yourself? On the other hand, Is it easy for you to see the beauty in everything and every body? If so, you know your own beauty. Do you make friends easily? Are people attracted to being with you? If so, you are comfortable with yourself. Are you surrounded by love? If so, you are loving. Get curious and remember to have compassion for yourself and for your world. Enjoy this awakening to a higher truth!
