Whether you call your higher power Spirit, Universe, God, Yahweh, Allah, or Goddess take a moment today to get quiet and make a connection to that higher power.
Your Higher Power knows what you need to do to move forward in the direction of your goals AND it wants to help you do so, however if you are closed off from the wisdom and guidance of your Power you will not receive this knowledge and the path to successful achievement of your goals will be little red with roadblocks.
In making a connection your Higher Power, you create a bond that puts you in the vibration of that higher power and allows you to hear the messages your Power sends to you and the trust you need to follow this message. Listen to what your Higher Power tells you, express gratitude for the message, and take steps to honor or follow the wisdom you receive.
Each morning, I take a few moments to make this connection: I find a quiet place to sit, take a few breaths, clear extraneous thoughts from my mind, and ask the Universe, “What can I do today to be of service to others?” Then I listen for the Universe’s answer. Within a minute or two, I receive a message/thought from the Universe. Often it is an action I can take such as writing a blog, being more present with clients, or sharing my knowledge. Other times it is more of a thought or feeling, “Trust me”, “Relax and have fun”, or “Just be happy”. When I take the Universe’s advice my days flow smoothly and I am calm and relaxed. On the days I forget to follow my message the day inevitably has a few hitches and I feel anxious and rushed.
Make connecting to your Higher Power a daily habit, learn to trust the messages you receive, and take action. I guarantee you will find the journey to your goal easier and more enjoyable.

I love the lotus flower. There is something about these beautiful flowers rising above the water that inspires me and makes me happy and peaceful.
During a meditation recently, I began to see how we could benefit from following the path of the lotus. The lotus flower grows up from the bottom of a pond or lake. The roots burgh into the mud while stalk rises through the muck and mire of the water finally emerging above the surface with a flower of pink, red, white, or blue. The lotus can live for hundreds, even thousands of years.
Like the lotus, our lives are often rooted in muddy soil. These are the hurts, slights, and negative beliefs that we encounter as we go through life:
We get get teased or bullied
We fail and get embarrassed
We encounter physical or emotional abuses
We have our hearts broken
We lose loved ones
We dream and our dreams are dashed
We feel unloved, unappreciated, alone, depressed, fearful, not good enough
Etc…
But, if we live like the lotus, we grow out of these experiences and up through the murky waters of life to emerge above the pain, sadness, and fear to as beautiful flowers. From this beauty and tranquility was can inspire those around us and bring happiness and peace to their lives. With this gift we can create an impact on the world that latest for centuries, maybe millennia.
