It’s very difficult to make sound decisions if we’re operating with an inner demon that is questioning, deriding, criticizing, or taunting our every move.

The most disconcerting thing about change and growth is it does exactly what it is meant to do - it changes who we are - and if that’s not disconcerting, I don’t know what is. 

Rest assured, the people who are treating us terribly are doing the same to others, and worse, they are doing it to themselves. That isn’t an excuse, but faith brought me to a place of compassion for all of us caught in that terrible dance.

Getting what we want and knowing what to do with it often requires a spiritual reset first, where we’re focused on calm and healing and we’re not seeking anything at all, other than peace, wellness, and self-awareness. 

I highly recommend experimenting with seeking faith as a path to a stronger, softer version of ourselves.   

There are a lot of warnings that should come on the label when it comes to cultivating faith.

It’s not exactly a walk in the park or the most delightful ride, but it also seems like another step in the process that only turns up when we’re ready for it. Faith is funny like that. 

It’s annoying, but faith is full of win-wins.

It all counts. It all adds up.

Manifestation isn’t about blinking our eyes and magically making a mansion appear. It is about focusing on Good (or God) so hard that we slowly change our brains to see the best in everything, which inevitably brings in more good, more hope, more opportunity, more lessons to learn, and most importantly, more and more faith.
