Why Do Bad Things Happen To Me?

By Guest Blogger, Ashley Dais

My client came to me the other day and said, “why can’t I get a break, why do bad things keep happening to me?” I explained to him that his thoughts of, “bad things always happening to me,” creates his reality of bad things actually happening to him.

When there is a strong belief about the way your life or personal state of being is not progressing, such as thoughts or beliefs of, “I am not good enough…No one cares about me…I can’t seem to ever be in a good relationship…I’ll never be happy…” It is the brains job to go to great lengths to make what you believe about yourself and situations to be true.

By Guest Blogger, Mylene Labrie

Have you ever, on a Friday, wondered what you were going to do over the weekend just to realize on Sunday evening that you ended up doing nothing? That your lack of planning or direction ended up wasting precious and valuable time?

That’s how I felt with my life for many years.

Leap of Faith

By Guest Blogger, Janelle @She Sings Sweetly

We all get to a point in our lives when we need to take a leap of faith. Whether it’s for a relationship, career, health, or major decision of some kind. When we face a circumstance that challenges us to take a leap of faith and we decide to move ahead, we begin with an intention. Typically that intention is attached with good feelings towards a positive outcome.

What is a leap of faith? The basic definition is moving forward towards something, not knowing if it will succeed. You typically act with blind faith that it’s the right move for you at the time, even though there’s a chance it won’t work out with the results you hoped for.

3 Ways to Let Go of Unworthiness

Unworthiness is one of the most debilitating belief systems in effect in the world today. It corrupts, destroys, discourages, and inhibits your goals and lives from unfolding as you desire.

How to Discover Your Strengths and Skills


By Keith Cook

Have you always wanted to do what you love and get paid for it, but you’re just not sure how to discover your strengths and skills? You’re not alone. Many people struggle with this same issue. I remember trying out for chorus as a little boy. There were 3 other students from my class trying out as well. I already knew I couldn’t carry a note from me to you & I just wanted to get out of class. Well of course, I was not chosen to be a part of chorus group. I knew singing was not a skill or strength of mine; however, I still needed to figure out my true strengths.
