Among the varied definitions of success comes this one from the newest Abraham-Hicks CD. It couldn’t be simpler. 

According to Abraham, “Success is enjoying the journey.” 

“Yeah, yeah, yeah” (I hear you say). “Enjoy the journey. Right. How do I enjoy it without the car, the house, the income and everything else I’ve been asking the universe for forever?” 

How do we “enjoy the journey” when we all have tangible results we haven’t yet achieved? 

My friend Tom Murasso mentioned on a call with me earlier this week that so many of our desires actually come from a place of scarcity. 

I agree. We want the car (because we don’t think we’re enough without it). We want the perfect romantic partner (because we think it will prove we’re attractive). We want the income (because we worry that we can’t survive on anything less). 

It should come as no surprise that most people tend to focus more on absence of their desire than the presence of it. 

And that’s why the absence of it persists. 

You enjoy the journey when you realize that desire isn’t ultimately about having stuff. 

Instead, the purpose of desire is to help the universe expand (which it does automatically, every time we powerful creators say “I want ________”). 

Because we’re part of the expanding universe, we’re free to ride the wave of expansion created by each new desire we express. Continue Reading »

Law of Attraction can seem mysterious. We say it’s fickle. “If I’m supposed to get what I think about, where’s the new car I’ve been thinking about for months?” Yesterday Tom Murasso interviewed me on his “Myth or Logic Radio” show, and we addressed often frustrating Law of Attraction problems — and their solutions.

Recently my friend Cindy confided, “I worry that my desire to make a lot of money from my business is just my ego speaking. How can I know that the success I envision is really spirit’s will for me?”

Many people worry that their desires come from ego, not from spirit. The worry itself keeps us apart from what we want.

It’s time to clear up outdated conceptions of will so we can close the gap between wanting and having.

Sure, it’s easy to look around at today’s polarized world and identify people expressing desires that can’t possibly be aligned with their souls.  In this free will universe that’s going to happen.

But when you have a desire to create a business that comes from your heart, your integrity, your passion, and your deepest wish to assist others, you can rest assured that desire was sourced in spirit.

If you stop and ask yourself where desire comes from anyway, you realize that you don’t invent it or force it into your imagination using your everyday mind.

Desire comes to you. It wells up from within the heart.

The heart is the gateway to your soul or spirit, according to many systems of knowledge from the ancient Greeks to contemporary teachers such as Orin (channeled by Sanaya Roman).

Here’s what my client Jeff was struggling with this week:

“Even  though I’m so much better at making time in my work day for exercise, relaxation, and inspiration, I’m still feeling overwhelmed! Tell me how fix this problem.”

Can you relate?

Creating balance in our days is super important. But it’s only half of the story. If you believe action is the only key to success, you’re making a critical Law of Attraction mistake.

Jeff often experienced way too much to do at work. When he tried to establish more balance in his life, he found momentary relief. He could ride his mountain bike or read something inspirational or shoot hoops with his 11-year-old and completely let go of feeling overwhelmed. Continue Reading »
