The Magic Pill

If you, like so many of us out there, are looking for the THING, the PERSON, the POTION, the CURE, the PILL, the MAGIC SOLUTION, the ANSWER that will dissolve all your woes and give you the life, love, health, body, success and riches that you desire, then I am here today to share with you exactly what that is!

After being on a bit of a roundabout myself, looking for THE answer to all the problems I was convinced I had, and all the ways in which I was wrong, not good enough, not smart enough, don’t know enough, etc, I can tell you I have come to quite a revelation!

That revelation is that what I knew and believed all along was all I needed! And, that my quest to find all the magical answers to all of life’s little unknowns, before I needed them and perhaps in anticipation of all the mistakes I may make, and all the ways life could go wrong, was driving me slowly nutty!

All of the energy I wasted, all of the anticipation and anxiety I created, all of the ways I breathed my fears into life became blatantly obvious to me in my most recent trips- or shall I correctly say- “run-and-hide-away” visits home.

The incredible thing is, this experience has been one of the most valuable of my life.

How could almost losing it and going completely crazy possibly be good for me you may wonder?! Well, the truth is without this experience, I would never have realised that all the answers I need are right within my fingertips and I would have continued upon my never-ending and quite frankly exhausting and confidence stripping path to self-perfection!

Also, I would never really have understood how some of the people I help, my clients, find themselves in these pits that they just cannot seem to get out of no matter how hard they try. Yes I am compassionate and yes I have endless empathy, but as they say, “To know and not do is not yet to know”.

So many of us out there know what we need to do, yet we don't do it. Why is that? Is it because we believe there is a better way? A shorter way? An easier way? Perhaps…

You know what? I believe there are a few reasons that we don't and yes, one of these would be the fact that perhaps we believe there is a quicker, easier, shorter way. Another key reason I can see that we don’t follow through on what we know, and is very much linked to the aforementioned reason is because we don't trust.

We don’t trust in the very thing we absolutely need to trust in in order to have a happy, healthy and successful life.

That is, ourselves!

If we do not believe in and back numero uno, then we may as well give up and forever remain lost at sea. As I teach my clients, WE have to be the captain of our own ships! We have to accept the weather, the tides, the turmoil and challenges that we have absolutely no control of out there and simply do our best to navigate ourselves towards the location we indeed on getting to.

We can only do what we have within our control, and there is absolutely no point wasting precious energy, time and resources on those which we cannot. Life will give us what it will. Not always what we’d love, not always what we ask for.

Yet, it’s what we DO with what we are given that makes- or breaks- us. It has nothing to do with luck, genes, magic or free-rides. It has everything to do with the decisions we make and the actions we take to back those decisions!

I, more than ever, with the most certainty and clarity I have ever had can attest to this without one ounce of doubt!

Give me an argument and I can come back with evidence for how no matter what life delivers to you, you can make it work FOR or AGAINST you…

Life IS what you make it! There is NO MAGIC PILL! Not one person, program, course, book, strategy or technique has ALL the answers you could possibly need to navigate the sea of life!

I will tell you though that YOU do have all you could ever possibly need to negotiate life and live life to the fullest, packaged neatly within one neat area.

That package my friends, is YOU. Yourself.

You are the only magic pill, answer or resource you will ever need.

Be in touch with yourself, your infinite wisdom, your intuitive nous, your inner god/goddess and you can be assured you will always have what you need.

And quite honestly- the challenges, the struggles, the hardships- embrace them! For within them lies all the catalyst you need to bring into life and consciousness those incredible resources you have within you. Tucked away just waiting for an opportunity to arise!

All we need ladies and gents is to fully embrace life! Fully embrace yourself, your truth and your light :)

You are everything! Wonderful and hopeless all at once. Do not dwell on, resent, or get down on your seeming limitations, shortfalls or “failings”. Instead accept your “follies” and see the teaching in them. Also ponder how they may work for you and in fact be a great part of your total essence!

When you embrace all of who you are, own that proudly, and compassionately recognise that you are on a never-ending learning journey, then you can once again assert yourself and your focus, and direct your energy, passion and life, to what you love. Get on with your life purpose, even if that to you may seem insignificant.

When you make your life about what you love, life flows and each step in the seemingly massive journey unfolds as you take the next, and then the next. One foot in front of the other, one step at a time.

All you need to know is what you love and who you are. Those answers can only be found within :)

To your journey and essence! xxoxoxoxxo
