If you find yourself living "paycheck to paycheck" then it's possible that you've cultivated a scarcity mindset in relationship to money.  At some point in your life you may have experienced an event which now dictates your mindset concerning your finances.  Consequentially, you now operate from that mental space leaving you with less than desirable results. 

When you have an INTENTION you are far more likely to achieve the results you want because you are actively searching for positive ways to make your intention true to you.

Think about it: Say you set the INTENTION in the morning to be more lighthearted and playful in the day – do you think it is more likely or less likely that you will be searching for and CREATING moments of fun, playfulness and joy throughout your day?

Can you then understand how, by setting many powerful INTENTIONS, every single day – these intentions can completely change your life?

Of course, they can, because every single positive moment in your life carries a compound effect.

That little moment of fun and playfulness with your partner, friend or family – leads to a stronger, closer relationship in the future. Which leads to better and better moments, stronger and stronger bonds, happier and happier times.

The INTENTION of patience and non-judgement: that builds your strength in that area, and in the future when life provides you with great challenges your RESPONSE to those challenges affects your future in a much more positive way than if you didn’t practice that intention.

It is during our darkest moments… that we must FOCUS… to see the light.

It is during our hardest moments, our most difficult challenges that we must trust that this moment will not last forever.

To live the human experience means to live both in the light and in the dark. Mother nature shows us this polarity in many ways. Day and night. Oceans and deserts. Summer and Winter.

When we are living in the light, life is good. We know who we are and where we are headed – nothing can stand in our way. We can see clearly.

While we want to spend most of our days in the light, that is, in positive emotions like joy, happiness and gratitude, it is an inevitable part of life that at times we will experience the opposite. There has to be darkness in order to appreciate the light, just as there needs to be a struggle and hard times to truly appreciate the good times.

But what happens when darkness descends on your life?

Maybe you lose your job, or a relationship fails. Maybe your mental health takes a steep decline. Sometimes it doesn’t seem fair. Sometimes there seems to be no good reason for this to be happening. Darkness is just a part of life.

However it happens, when we find ourselves in the darkness, we can feel lost, alone and even scared. It can feel as though there is no hope for the future. Motivation disappears. Everything feels like an uphill battle.

It has taken me many cycles of light and dark in my life to understand that in the moments of darkness in our lives we are not lost, we are simply learning a new way of being. We are growing. We are expanding.

Even though it may be hurting, the tree knows that come spring, as the air begins to warm and the light gets brighter new growth will come. And that is exactly what happens. As the season changes, the tree is renewed. After the months of darkness, the tree flourishes for another season.

Life is full of transitions. But, perhaps because we fear change, we resist the dark winters of our experience.

What if you made a different choice?

What if, instead of resisting our dark times, you embraced them as a time of rest, renewal and regeneration?

What if you could learn to love the darkness in your life as much as you love the light?

Today I want to share with you an eye opening story about a young man and his mentor.

It’s about not allowing negativity inside. Not allowing opinions to dictate your wellbeing.

So the story tells us, that there was this young man, who was living with his family because he didn’t yet have the means to move out.

The young man would visit with a mentor once a week, and every time, he would complain about his family, saying how negative they were, how they always pushed him to do things that he did not enjoy, while never supporting him in doing the things he actually did enjoy doing.

He said his family were “dragging him down”

“Are they really dragging you down? Or are you allowing whatever YOU THINK they are thinking of you to drag you down?”

Not truly understanding, and growing angry at the mentor, the young man responded:

“No, they ARE dragging me down. Their negativity drags me down every day. I can’t make up how I feel. They are doing this to me.”

When we set a new goal in life, we are usually filled with optimism, have a crystal clear vision on what we want and are 100% committed to going after it.

But often, over time, and with all the distractions present in our day to day life, we can fall off track and lose that focus we started with. There are lots of things that can distract us, social media, family commitments, television, work, the list is endless. As the distractions add up, the feeling of determination and clarity we initially had can slip away, and with it, the dream of achieving what we want.

However it happens, it is extremely common for our focus and determination to dip now and then when we are on the journey to achieving something we have never done before.

A lot of this has to do with the fact that when we set our sights on achieving something we have new, there is a lack of evidence in our mind that we can achieve it.

Your brain may say to you that because you have never done this particular thing before, that it is a foolish idea to try. You may even tell yourself that you aren’t capable. Self-talk like this can generate a sense of self-doubt which ultimately leads to a decrease in focus. It is the ultimate in self-sabotage.
