Evolving Goddess

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.~ ee cummings It takes great courage to be willing to be authentically YOU. Today, I invite you to take a good hard look at your life and ask, “Am I living MY dream or am I living someone else’s dream?”This question may be too scary for you to explore.  Nevertheless, I’m asking you to explore it.  Whose life are you living?  Are you living the life that your parents wanted?  Are you living based on what society tells you is appropriate?  Are you living based on what your spouse, partner, kids, friends, clients, colleagues, etc. expect?  Do you tend to overextend yourself only to feel exhausted and resentful?  Or, are you in true joy? You were not put on this Earth to live someone else’s dream.  You were put on this Earth to live YOURS.  There is a vision that was placed into your heart and it is THAT vision that is meant to be manifested.  Don’t underestimate how very important that vision is … Continue reading →

Have you ever gotten caught in a cycle of doing things . . . then, ultimately resenting it? When you find yourself consistently doing things and at some point resenting having done it, it’s a signal to you of two important things: (1) it’s time to change your inner beliefs that compels you to take action that dishonors your true desires; and (2) it’s time to reclaim your personal power.   Your saying “Yes” to something you don’t really want to do (hence, the subsequent resentment) is driven by an underlying belief that compels you to take the action in the first place.  For example, one of my clients had a hard time saying “No” to her clients’ requests to offer discounted prices.  She would agree to the discount, then feel devalued and undermined. Other examples include, saying “Yes” because you want to be nice, you want to be liked, you feel somehow obligated (e.g., to your boss, spouse, kids, or parents), or because it’s something important to you and no one else will step up.     The key to tackling the underlying belief that keeps you stuck is to get really honest with yourself.  Get quiet and ask … Continue reading →

Ever wonder why your life isn’t exactly where you want it to be?  Chances are it’s because you don’t have enough clarity about what you truly want.  Without clarity, you will fall prey to other people’s agendas. You may have a general sense of what you want.  Perhaps you know you want to make more money or have a fantastic relationship.  That’s a great start, but it’s not enough. True clarity is specific.  When you are not absolutely clear about WHAT you want, WHY you want it, and HOW to get it, it becomes much easier to get persuaded by another person who has greater clarity than you. Clarity is power.  When you are clear, you are driven by the end result.  It gives you the extra push to get you through the bumps and detours of life.  No path is without it’s pitfalls!  But, when you have clarity about exactly what you want, you can keep your eyes on the prize.  For example, during the Civil Rights Movement (the heart of which lasted 14 years!), those who were involved with the cause suffered great setbacks personally and collectively.  Yet, they had clarity — they knew that they wanted freedom and … Continue reading →
