FINDING PEACE

I do quite a bit of writing on the topic of success.  In addition to coaching people, I also do ghost writing for influencers.  Recently, I had an interesting conversation with one influencer who told me that before he began his current career of motivational speaking, he felt like a complete fraud because he read all of the books, attended seminars, and talked the talk, but was still always dead broke.

Why?

Well, he finally realized that he hadn't made peace with his life (both past and present).  He had been denying his situation and pretending to have lots of money.  That, of course, begs the question: Isn't that what we're taught to do by people like Wayne Dyer who say we need to focus on having abundance and having it now?  Yes and no.  We definitely should not focus on lack or on our current situation if it doesn't please us; however, we need to make peace or else all that becomes is denial.

Make peace with your current situation and your choices of the past.  These are not easy words for me to type because I too had a monumental struggle with this. I lived for many years feeling angry and even after I learned about how to use my thoughts to attract what I wanted, I had so much anger and pain around money that I just became frustrated.

One day I finally had to break down and face my life.  Yes, I admit, I had a good cry and did some yelling, but then I began to feel peace.  I stopped feeling like my head was going to explode any time I talked to someone about money and for the first time in my life I felt really free.

The purpose of having money, a great career, and all the bells and whistles is to be happy and that's where wise people like Wayne Dyer had it correct.  Unfortunately, that may mean some yelling, some tears, some self-confrontation.  Don't just cover up what you're dealing with and hope a few positive thoughts will do the trick.  Find peace, then you truly can focus on attracting what you want.
