The Key to Happiness - Pt. 2

For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11 NASV)

I truly hope that you enjoyed Step One of this series. If you recall, Step One was to quiet yourself, be still and listen to your spirit. Actually, Step One is not an easy thing to do and you shouldn’t move on to Step Two until you have mastered Step One because you cannot walk into your true destiny unless you know your purpose.

Are you getting the same results all the time? Are you still in debt? Do your relationships keep failing? Does it seem like you just can’t get ahead? Well, try something different. You have been doing it YOUR way for so long and it is not working out for you. Remember the plan is not for you to fail or to hurt; the plan is for you to be happy and succeed. During your quiet time, ask your Higher Power to reveal His purpose for your life. Once you realize what your true purpose is then Step Two is to have FAITH and get moving. Having faith can be very difficult; it requires you to totally surrender and trust. There will be times when you are fearful, but fear is the opposite of faith. Fear will keep you from your purpose. When you are fearful, ask yourself, “What is it about this situation that I am afraid of?”

Wow, this is a wonderful opportunity for you to change the direction of your journey! Allow me to walk with you, let’s get started. Click here to schedule an appointment.

The Key to Happiness - Pt. 1

For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11 NASV)

Many times my clients may ask me, “Why do bad things happen to me?” “Will things get ever better?” “When will the pain stop?”

We all experience disappointment, pain, and setbacks. What matters is how you respond to your experiences. You may have told yourself that you are going to quit your job today because you’re sick and tired of your boss and co-workers. Maybe you are wondering why other forces are attacking you at work. The promotion did not happen and your raise did not come. You feel stuck. On the other hand, you may be dealing with a painful break-up and separation from your partner. Depression and anger has saturated your spirit. Whatever your situation may be, in all things be hopeful! My friend, it is not your Higher Power’s desire for you to be hopeless and hurting. The plan is for you to succeed and be prosperous. Your Higher Power already has a plan for you. Seek HIM for the blueprint and follow it. Today, choose to re-evaluate your position and walk into your destiny.

Step one, STOP. Just quiet yourself and listen to your spirit. Sift through your thoughts to separate the rational from the irrational. Be still and listen.

Wow, this is a wonderful opportunity for you to change the direction of your journey! Allow me to walk with you, let’s get started. Click here to schedule an appointment.

Have a sweet day,
