What's Worked For Me

I have been inspired by reading and hearing other people’s inspirational stories of them overcoming obstacles. I have found that it is one thing to read a person’s inspirational story, it is another to have them explain the exact process by which they overcame their obstacles. I have done just that and listed 25 things that assisted me and still assist me to this day in living my life on purpose and in gratitude. I started with the very first thing that I did to get back on the path to my life’s purpose all the way up to what I do on a daily basis to help me stay there. 

1. Surrender yourself to the Divine (God) and stop fighting what your higher self has been whispering to you regarding the direction that your life is supposed to be going. Follow your life's purpose.

2. Stop trying to control any problems that you have.

3. Release the need for you to know all the answers.

4. Release judgment about yourself and others and focus on the love and light that is in everyone.

5. Empty yourself of those things that have been holding you hostage by lovingly releasing all negative thoughts and negative energy.

6. Stop regretting your past and stop fearing your future. Exist in harmony with NOW.

7. Start filling yourself up with positive energy, positive thoughts and love.

8. Accept that you are where you are supposed to be in life at this very moment because if it was meant for you to be somewhere else, you would be.
