Have you ever felt like your life would be so much better if you were in charge; if you were self-made, or could influence your destiny?<\/p>\n
I know this feeling well. I spent many years trying to build a healthy business and a happy life \u2013 and find a balance between them. It began to seem like my desire was the very thing holding me back.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how I learned to stop wanting and start having. When you turn your energy into your personal prayer and set it into motion, the idea of having everything you want drifts into reach.<\/p>\n

Recognize the gift of the present.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
<\/h5>\n
The first step to living a life on your own terms is to disengage from the past and become fully present. None of us are (really) a victim of our past when we are living in the present. We simply think we are when we\u2019re living from the perception of the past reality. Studies show that we make 35,000 decisions each day, and 70% of those are made without considering our values. \u00a0For most of us, it feels like we\u2019re living in a karmic cycle trying to heal our last hurts, or circumstances we wish would have been different.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Well, I\u2019m here to tell you that none of that condemns us to a sentence of victimhood, unless we continue to feed that ugly beast. When we become aware of this truth, we begin to catch glimpses of our true potential, and begin to believe it, and take steps to create it. No more waiting. No more excuses. And, the more practice we get, the luckier we get.\u00a0<\/p>\n
