“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” ~ Oscar Wilde

Do you have expectations for yourself and others?

You may have expected certain things to happen in your life.

You may have expectations that your spouse, your children and friends follow a certain path.

We cannot control others, but we can control our expectations of others. The behavior of others has influenced us, as our behavior has influenced others. Continue reading “How to Let Go of Expectations” →

Happiness is a choice. Choose happy.

There are many souls I know, who are rarely effected by mood swings. It’s the most incredible thing to behold! They are honestly the most balanced, joyful, and happiest people I have ever met. Sure, they can get upset, angry, or disillusioned just like the rest of us, but overall their mood is light-filled and loving. I absolutely adore this abundant laugher and overflowing joy that is part of their nature.

As for me, I love life! But… I feel everything – even those feelings that don’t originate from me. Overall, that’s a good thing.

How do I listen to my gut? How do I break away from the fears that haunt me? How do I truly create a intuitively driven life for me..that will lead me to success and happiness?

Ah….aren’t these the very questions we ask ourselves in the course of our existence? I know I have asked these questions to myself far too many times. Many a times the answers were apparent to me and many more times I felt like I was stuck in the haze not knowing which direction to go and how. I wish in those times I had this book. It would’ve been so much easier to truly understand what my gut was trying to tell me. I would’ve reached my goals sooner. But, better late than never right. That ONE book is here!!
