After a full day of travelling, we made it to Kyoto, Japan last night and promptly crashed in bed. I don’t think I’ve slept that well in ages! So good.
I was told by so many people that I’d love Japan. Everyone says it’s beautiful here, clean, the people are nice… and so far, everything seems to be playing out that way, so I’m grateful!
I can’t wait to go to the matcha farm, processing plant, and do all the biz-related things, while also eating all the vegan food (there’s a vegan restaraunt 5 minutes from our hotel!), writing from cafes, and snapping at least 5,000 photos of the sights.
I get a different kind of buzz here.
It’s similar to when I go to California - except, the vibe is way different. Cali has a “you can do anything, life is amazing” kind of vibe.
Kyoto (at least the little I’ve seen of it so far) has a spiritual vibe, where you just wanna chill TF out, drink tea, and be present.
This morning, as I sit and type this by the window in our hotel room, sitting green tea and waiting for my husband-who-takes-longer-t
There are so many opportunities available to you.
So many incredible memories for you to make.
So much for you to explore, and experience.
So many dreams for you to make come true for yourself.
But the struggle.. oh the struggle. You make it so damn hard on yourself, don’t you? You don’t just allow yourself to experience ease, and flow, and total fucking high-vibe energy..
It’s not your fault though. You’ve been brainwashed into believing that life is not meant to be easy.
You grew up hearing “if it seems too good to be true, it probably is” - to which I say –
FUCK THAT SHIT
If it seems too good to be true, I’m going for it! Because if you can see it, if you can visualize it, if you can feel it… it can be yours. And if it appears to be easy? Even better!
If you don’t believe that something can be easy, it will always be hard.
If you believe that life is supposed to be hard and you have to “work for it”, then you will never be able to experience true ease.
And what kind of life is that?
I got tired of always feeling like I was climbing a mountain covered in mud; slipping back down any time I’d start making progress.
It wasn’t until I made the decision that I wanted things to be easy and that they would be, that everything started to work out for me.
But first, I had to give up the belief that I couldn’t control my own destiny. I had to fully release any and all lies that I was told growing up, around what success required.
Long hours?
Doing work I hated?
Ignoring my family?
Putting work first?
Struggling financially?
I’ve done it all, and none of it make me happy. It made me money, sometimes, but I was never able to hold on to the money because I resented it.
If you find it hard to hold on to money, it’s not because you suck at money management, or because you spend too much, or any of that nonsense.
It’s because deep down, you don’t want it. You feel dirty just thinking about what you had to do to receive it.
You compromised your values in order to make it.
You did something you didn’t want to do in order to receive it.
And so, you really don’t want it. I mean, yeah, you want money, and on the surface, that’s apparent –
But deep down in your soul, you don’t want it unless it comes from doing what you love. Where you honor your values and your integrity is still in tact when you receive it.
It took me many, many years to understand fully why I was never able to hold on to money. I could make it fast, I could make it often, and I could make it consistently, but it was never enough. I would always run out.
No matter how much money I made, I never felt safe financially. I knew it would never last. And so it never did.
This is not to say that I suck at money management (even though I told myself for years that I did), but because I resented the money. Seeing it reminded me of all that I had to compromise on, and all that I had to struggle with, in order to make it.
No wonder I never had money around, even though I’d made over a million dollars online in just a few short years!
All of this to say..
You get what you believe you are worthy of having, and if you don’t allow it to come to you through doing only what you love and in ways that feel good –
You will never be truly happy.
It can be easy, and it can feel amazing, and you don’t have to sacrifice, compromise or struggle - ever.
Time to allow it.
Don’t forget –
You really can be, do and have EVERYTHING you want. Say YES to you and take action now!
