One of the most common questions I get asked as a meditation teacher is "why cant I be happy?" Or "how do I find happiness?" Happiness seems to be one of the most elusive experiences for many people, and yet its always there right inside of us. So what is happiness and where is it found, and why is it so elusive for some? Well, there are two sources of happiness. One exte ally and one internally. There's out-come oriented happiness and self-referred happiness. Out-come oriented happiness is a happiness that is derived from "out-comes". It's a sunny day.r

In this past year, you felt like you couldn’t cope or face life difficulties. You were unhappy with yourself and felt like you’ve reached a breaking point.

I feel this is a time of sadness for some of you because you feel stuck in a relationship or marriage you feel is not going to change. You have to speak to the Universe about the partner you desire. Honest and conscientious. Devoted and friendly. Educated and determined. Be specific so that you can manifest exactly what you want. There are obstacles that you are still struggling with in regards to your past and it’s pulling you into old patterns. Following old ways of thinking or bad habits will not change the situation at hand.

As your spiritual educator and healer, I feel I should make sure you are using your divine skills and divination tools correctly and following the laws of the Creator. The misconception of spirituality is that it replaces the faith and honor of God. This is far from the truth. God is and always will be the Highest and a spirit that sits alone. However, God has given us tools to improve our situations and give us the guidance needed to make the best decisions and we must know how and when to use these tools.

Indecision is extremely frustrating and will lead to anxiety, loss, and confusion. At this juncture, you can’t remain in place without losing your way altogether. Avoid the tendency to let others choose for you, which is a way to subtly refuse to take responsibility for your choices. By not making a choice, you are making a choice, for which you must be accountable. If that choice leads to undesirable circumstances, take heart: Spirit never tires of giving you second chances. You can always start again once you’ve learned this valuable lesson.

This is a time to take responsibility for your truest desire and follow it. Be honest with yourself about what you’re willing to do, invest, and give. Then choose. You cannot make a wrong choice—just a different one, with different consequences. When you move forward with a relationship, know that it will be based in truth and authenticity. You will have made a conscious decision rather than simply hanging on because you don’t want to be alone—or ending things because you’re afraid of the intensity of authentic connection. All roads lead to the lessons you must learn in your relationships.

Love is not logical, but when you choose a partner, it is good to have things in common other than desire. This is a time to weigh the pros and cons of your partnership.

How many times do you find yourself disappointed in the partner you choose? Do you feel used, insignificant, or confused in what it is you want from this person? Do you want a partnership that's abundant, loving, and fulfilling? There were plenty of moments in my life, when I asked myself these questions and my answers were different throughout different stages of my life. However, when I got tired of being tired I had to sit down and do a self-evaluation. I realized that I always asked God for a relationship which is mistake number one.

Relationships can develop through friends, family, neighbors, co-workers and the people we interact with every day. Relationships are built over time, as well as trust, and the commitment placed into them. Relationships are not permanent. They can end at any time for no reason at all. They hold no obligations and a low expectation rate for all involved, so there is little room for disappointment.

Slow computers can be frustrating. Ideally, we are able to clean them up, speed them up, upgrade, or replace, and carry on with a faster computer, our frustrations only a memory. Sometimes, however, we are temporarily stuck with the slowness and frequent freezings, and we can either continue to feel irritated, or we can accept the way things are with peace and joy. As Carl Jung said, "What you resist persists," so it seems it may be better to stop resisting our computer's lethargy and go with the flow. So, that means we will have to think of something to do while we are waiting.

Boundaries can be considered our personal rules of engagement. They’re the limits or guidelines we use to indicate how we interact with others and how we will allow them to interact with us. Some of us have multiple layers of boundaries and some have a simple set. Still others have different boundaries depending on the type of relationship they have with someone. They might have very formal, strict boundaries with strangers while having more relaxed and informal boundaries with close friends and family.

When something ends, no matter whether the ending is your choice or not, take the opportunity to recapitulate it before it fades from memory. There is learning to be done. Why recapitulate? We tend to believe that anything that is recent and vivid in our experience will stay vivid forever, but in fact it is likely that it will fade, often quite quickly. Life will take over, new memories will be created, and our recently developed insights and good intentions can easily be obliterated.

After a visit to the ER, where the doctor told me there wasn’t much he could do—after all, there was nothing to stitch up—I had no choice but to give it time to heal. For several days I wore a large gauze bandage around my thumb. And, I discovered I pretty much couldn’t do anything that required the use of my right hand.

Branding has become a buzzword and trend in the online business and personal development industry over the past few years. It seems that suddenly everyone is a branding expert: graphic artists, web designers, business coaches, and even photographers. While some of these people may be very skilled at making your brand look good, it’s crucial for you to understand that developing a brand, and executing a brand, are two very different disciplines. Do not confuse them or let anyone else confuse them for you. Brand Development

I’ve lost many things in my life. Jobs. Grandparents. Pets. Money. A house. A business. Even my identity at one point. I’ve watched my parents lose their parents, my husband lose his father, my daughter lose teenage friends. I’ve seen that in the moment these losses feel insurmountable. Yet, I’ve also seen time heal the pain. I’ve seen people move on and find happiness again. And, I’ve done so myself.

Have you noticed that recently the luxury car companies are focusing a lot more on fun than luxury? As a former advertising executive (it actually feels like another lifetime!) I pay attention to advertising. And I've noticed a shift in the television commercials for several luxury car brands, namely Lexus and Mercedes. While they used to sell their cars as status symbols, and luxury indulgences, as something to aspire to, they aren’t focusing on that so much these days. Rather, their TV commercials focus on how fun these cars are to drive.

My inability to effectively balance my work life and my home life is what led me to start my own business in 1998. I was never one of those people who dreamed of being an entrepreneur. In fact, for years people kept telling me I should start my own business, and I always said no. Until stress and burnout led me to it as a last resort. After years of struggling with balance, and the stress and chronic health issues that came along with it, I realized starting my own business might be a good solution. It would give me more control over my time and allow me to be home with my kids.

Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, many of us lose our ability to find happiness in life's simple pleasures. Granted life is more complicated for adults. We have responsibilities such as jobs, bills, and children. But far too often we let these responsibilities squelch our innate happiness. We begin to believe that happiness, or the lack of it, is based on what we do or what we have. We recognize that we experience joy when we get a promotion, a new car, or a new client and we begin attributing happiness to these things.

In the success industry there's a lot of talk about money. In recent years, I find that more and more coaches, experts, and gurus talk openly about how much money they make and how much money they can help others make.

Of course those things change your life in a big way. And they did mine. But I pretty much thought that would be the end of the major upheavals until, well you know… I finish my days on this earth. Nope, not the case. I began a series of major changes about 8 years ago when I found myself wanting more than just the status quo. As a result, I sought out more, and change after change ensued.

I like to believe that most people are inherently good and are simply doing the best they can in the moment. Very often peoples’ actions are driven by fear or some other negative emotion, causing them to act in ways that feel difficult to us. And, we’re often quick to brand them as a difficult person. However, I’ve found that most times when we step back we find it’s not the person, but the situation, that’s difficult.

According to new research conducted by the Haas School of Business at the University of Califo ia, Berkeley, overall happiness is more related to how much you are respected and admired by those around you than the status that comes from how much money you have in your bank account.

Goals are a very accepted and highly promoted way of accomplishing what we want in life. It’s no wonder so many people advocate and practice goal-setting. Nearly every coach or mentor I’ve encountered and every success seminar I’ve attended advocates setting goals. And not only setting them but writing them down, and making them SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely). The argument is that people who write down goals achieve more in life.

There was no one around to play with and my mom and dad were busy so I decided to go for a walk. There was a place about two miles away from my home that was owned by the Catholic Church.
