In order to find real happiness and fulfillment in your life, first
you must ask yourself these 4 questions:
1. How do I really want to feel?
Forget the actual event that you want to change in your life for
a second and focus on the FEELING that the experience would give
you. For example, if you want more money, decide what feeling
you're yearning for, the feeling that greater financial abundance
would allow you to achieve.
Is it freedom?
If so, ask yourself how you can create the
experience of freedom inside yourself first - before striving for
the external goal. This goes with any inner state: joy, happiness,
peace, creativity, aliveness, etc. Find a way to emulate that
feeling inside yourself first and you will then have the freedom to
create what you want in the outer world.
2. What does my intuition tell me?
As human beings we naturally have an intuition that is aligned
with Source energy. When you tune into your intuition, it will
guide you towards making the most authentic, soul-driven decisions
possible that will lead you to a happier, more fulfilling life.
Some of the most powerful ways to tune into your
intuition is to pay attention to your surroundings, listen to your
mind & body, and lastly, meditation!
Meditation is an incredible tool to get in touch
with your inner being & it is one of my favorite ways to tune
into source energy on a regular basis.
3. Am I being honest with myself?
Many times we want something external in order to fill a hole or
to avoid something we are feeling within.
We may want a new car to make us feel special, but
realize once we have it, we already want to upgrade to the next
model.
The key is to become aware if you're searching for
something outside of yourself in order to feel better about
yourself within.
Then think of ways you can reinforce your feelings
of specialness, self-worth, confidence etc. without purchasing a
new car.
4. How can I enjoy the entire journey?
Sometimes, we believe that in order to be successful, we must
always feel good but the extreme highs are only part of the
equation.
Understanding that with life there are good
sensations and bad sensations and even at times neutral sensations,
we are able to go about our day-to-day life more faithfully
assured, balanced and relaxed.
Remind yourself each day to stay present in the
moment and enjoy the unfolding process of life, instead of only
focusing on your end goal.
