Day 3 – The Belief Challenge

Believe that Nothing is Too Good to be True

Cultivate big dreams.  Believe wholeheartedly that those big dreams will come true.

Our human nature compels us to tend to focus on what hasn’t come true – what is lacking. It’s just where our mind goes. Consider for a moment the MANY things we now have or have done that were once only a dream.

We need to focus more on those.

Life is full of wonder. And awe. And Miracles.

We only have to allow ourselves to see it.

Nothing is impossible. Nothing is too good to be true. Life is full of fairytales.

Look for them. They’re everywhere.

Day 1 The Belief Challenge

Day 1 The Belief Challenge

Last year, my mantra was “Believe.”

I explored my beliefs all year long.

Today, I’m starting a 30-day challenge around beliefs. Every day, I’ll post about one belief explored last year that brought me comfort, peace or more consciousness.  Here’s the first one:

Believe this is all meant to be.  

Believe that you are here for a reason.  Find a deeper sense of purpose, as if every single moment of your life was predestined.

You are exactly where you’re meant to be!

  • In the right job, with the right people.
  • Having the right parents and the right children.
  • You are a picture of health and your body is a perfect miracle.
  • There is enough in your bank account.
  • Your relationship is awesome and how it should be.

No mistakes have been made.  Nothing has gone off course.

Now what?

Now, you can move forward.  As a result of your new perspective, you can even change the trajectory of your life, if you want to.

If you were destined to get here, to where you are right now with very little conscious effort, imagine what adding consciousness can do to your future!

For me, becoming more conscious of my choices changed the course of my life.  I went from unconscious and reactionary to conscious and proactive.  The very moment I put conscious effort into the belief that all is as it should be, I recognized that I am here for a reason.

One little shift in my perspective changed my entire experience, my reality.  Present and purposeful, I feel powerful beyond measure.

“Believe in something big. Your life is worth a noble motive.” – Walter Anderson

What would change in your life if you believed all was meant to be and that you are here for a reason?

True Happiness, as It Turns Out, Doesn’t Happen Overnight

The J.O.B 

I took on this mission like a J. O. B. Diving headfirst into the world of personal development, I read every book from Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance to Power Vs Force.  I studied every guru out there: Pema Chodron, Wayne Dyer, Neale Donald Walsh, Eckhart Tolle, Oprah (Oh wow, did I watch a lot of Oprah).

The climb was long and hard at times, but I found my way to the top of the mountain and even started downhill (The view, the trees, the easy road ahead! I’d done it!).  Then at 35, I got married to the man of my dreams.

Brand. New.  Mountain.

At 38, I had Jack. He was seven weeks early. And then he cried for six straight months.  

Zoe came along at 40. And I realized I was only at base camp.  

There in front of me stood Mt. Everest.

I had to start climbing again…

So, that’s exactly what I did, and what I do. Every single day.

I climb for my kids – So they don’t have a mom who acts all happy on Facebook but yells at them every night.

I climb for my husband – So he’s not married to a woman who gets resentful when he works late and punishes him by withholding sex.

I climb for my siblings – Because they already lost one sibling and don’t deserve to lose another—to anger, sorrow, frustration or stress.

I climb for other moms – Moms who know deep down that they deserve more and desperately want to go to the edge but are afraid to even venture out of their tents.

The journey isn’t easy. It’s long, hard and treacherous at times. But one thing I know for sure is that we can’t climb alone. We need a team. We need a whole village of sisters to help us up this mountain.  We need Oprah and Deepak and wine (So. Much. Wine.).

So, I’m asking you to climb. To climb for you, to climb with me, to climb for your kids, for your relationship, for the happiness that you know you deserve.

Who’s with me?
