We give everything to someone who just won’t match our efforts and willingness to try. We empty our love bank to make them feel wealthier, while we become broke. We give ourselves up to someone who doesn’t respect us enough to treat us well in return.

The Universe is not outside you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.

Just don’t rush the process; trust it. You have to grow into your dreams.

With global advances in technology, our society is becoming more engrossed in personal gadgets than in the world around them. We hold our phones more than we hold real conversations, and each other. We’re so busy looking down at screens and engaging in digital interactions that we forget about the environment around us. It seems people would rather experience an event through a camera than use their eyes to enjoy what’s in front of them. Concert audiences are lit up by the shimmering of phone screens. This isn’t to say that we shouldn’t capture mementos of these precious times. But living through a screen prevents us from being present in the moment. As we continue to distract ourselves from the present moment, we become more anxious, fearful and stressed. Worries overwhelm us in our everyday lives because we’re now conditioned to live elsewhere, rather than right here. What’s more, we ignore the people around us and our personal relationships pay the price. This is often why we feel distressed, disconnected and lost. Our vibration is lowered because we feel like we’re in some imagined situation that doesn’t match up with our lived reality. We relive moments of the past, fear the future and create obstacles in our minds. We devote creative energy to destructive ideas – and this invites turmoil into our lives. Now is the only time you have. Once your past is gone, it doesn’t exist, no matter how many times you recreate it mentally. The future hasn’t even arrived; but again, you keep taking yourself there mentally. Tomorrow comes disguised as today and some of us don’t even notice. Nothing is more valuable than the present moment because you can never get it back.

It would be nice to change your beliefs overnight, but this is an astoundingly difficult thing to achieve. As we’ve established, our beliefs are dug deep into the soils of our subconscious mind.

Improving yourself and your life is also self-love, because it means you recognize that you deserve more than settling for mediocrity.

Muhammad Ali famously said, ‘To be a great champion, you must believe you are the best. If you’re not, pretend you are.

We must clearly communicate our needs and expectations for the sake of the relationship and to make sure our unconditional love doesn’t encourage unconditional tolerance.

You must always focus on your own life, expanding it and growing as an individual. You can only do great things for others in the world if you genuinely feel joyful, loving and accomplished.

When it comes to healing, awareness is key. You’ve got to be willing to notice what’s going on with you,

No one can heal without tending to their wounds with care and compassion. In a way, rejections are invitations to love yourself more.

In the 1990s, Dr Masaru Emoto carried out ground-breaking experiments on the impact of emotional energy on water.11 In one study, he wrote positive and negative words on containers full of water. He then froze samples of the water from each container.

Awareness of the present Every second you spend thinking about the next moment, you avoid embracing the present.
Ensure your life isn’t lived entirely in your head.

Use your intuition to guide you. If something feels wrong, it usually is!

empowering novels like The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho are great,
