I was talking with one of my wonderful clients today and she had such clarity, I wanted to pass it on.

I was talking about Byron Katie’s work regarding staying in your own business. You can’t change how other people think of you or how people act.  It’s useless because there is no way to reach inside their brain and alter what they are thinking.

And she agreed, adding that when you try to change other people you are giving your energy away.

That is such a great way to think of it.

When you are worried about something or when you wish people were different, it is sapping your precious energy.

To whom are you giving your energy away?

Is it worth it?

You can change how you think about something.

That is how I have made huge, enormous, earth-shaking changes.

In fact, to live a life beyond your dreams, I believe you must question your deeply held beliefs.

Internal work is amazing. That is the stuff from which epiphanies are made.

That said, you can sit around questioning your thoughts, connecting with the Universe, and creating incredible emotional shifts, but the actual transformation comes from the doing.

Create peace internally, then create transformation by taking inspired action from that place of peace.

Think then do.

Don’t forget the do.

What one tiny step will move you forward on your path today?

You have probably heard about the four Colombian children aged 11 months to 13 who survived for 40 days in the Amazon jungle.

How heart wrenching and yet how incredible.

The tools their mother taught them included what fruits it was safe to eat and how to stay safe from snakes and bugs and predatory animals.

What are the dangers in our society?

Our survival is a step removed.

We don’t have to forage for fruits and seeds. We use money to buy basic foods.

We don’t have snakes and bugs and predatory animals nipping at our ankles. We use money to pay for shelter and air conditioning.

What tools are you teaching your children about survival?

Are any of these tools about money?

What tools are you teaching your children about flourishing?
