When you encounter an obstacle in your life while you are pursuing something, don’t freak out. The obstacle is not the end of your pursuit. It is there for a reason. Don’t give up. Be more creative about getting around the obstacle. Ask more questions, and have faith. The Universe always provides exactly what you need, at exactly the right time. Namaste.

The Pursuit.
“Everyone needs a certain amount of money. Beyond that, we pursue money because we know how to obtain it. We don’t necessarily know how to obtain happiness.”
Gregg Easterbrook
Namaste.
Be Accountable.
If you have done something, take responsibility for it. If you are thinking about doing something, write it down, and assess it. If you commit to doing something, do it. When you make a commitment, stick by it. So, be careful about what you commit to! Namaste!
Do what you need to do.
“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”
Thomas A. Edison
Sometimes you have to do things that you do not love to get to where you want to be. Change your thinking about what you do, and you will start enjoying the process.
And remember, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Effort = Results. Namaste.
Be Honest.
Be honest with yourself and everyone else in your life. Being honest with yourself means to always respect and listen to yourself. You know deep inside of you what is right for you, and what is not, and also what you really want out of life. Listen to yourself. You know what is best for you.
Be honest with others, and always tell the truth. Be straight up with the people in your life. Even if you feel like you are going to hurt someone’s feelings, be honest in the most tactful way possible. You can only control your own feelings.
If you are honest, you will develop an amazing sense of trust in yourself. Others will respect you and look up to you for being true to yourself and to them.
Namaste!
Don’t be afraid to ask.
Think you deserve a raise? Wanting that promotion? Want more help around the house? Need a break from the kids?
Go ahead and ask for it! Do not be afraid. When you ask, ensure that your are prepared. Write down on a piece of paper what you plan to say, and then practice it. Think of all of the possible outcomes, and how you might respond.
No matter what response you get, asking is the important part. Asking is action, and action produces results. You may get ‘no’ as an answer, but do not be discouraged. You have made yourself think, and you have gotten someone else to think about you in a different way also.
The Universe works in mysterious ways, so be accepting of the outcome and just keep the action going!
Namaste.
Get Christmas Started.
It is almost that time of year again. Be prepared for Christmas this year, and start something small today. Make a list of all of the people that you will want to buy gifts for. If you can think of any ideas for gifts, write them beside that person’s name. Don’t worry about gift ideas if you don’t have them right now, just the names are important. This task should only take 5 minutes, but it will do a lot to get you in the right frame of mind. Writing things down really has an amazing impact, and suddenly the right gifts for the right people will start showing up for you as if by magic. Be ready to be prepared this year! Namaste.
Have Faith.
“Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.”
Saint Augustine
Have faith in yourself and the Universe. You have the ability to tap into the Universe, and the Universe will always provide. Start by having faith in your own abilities and dreams. Figure out what you passionately want in life, and have enough faith to know in your heart that you will be able to have what you want. See your dreams vividly in your own head, and soon those dream will be tangible in your life. Namaste.
