Rarely does a day go by that I haven't had someone ask me about my transformation from classroom teacher and competitive horsewoman into an angel communicator and spiritual life coach. Believe me it was not an overnight one, to say the least. My shift and change in mindset has been a process. And in an act of full disclosure, I’ll admit it’s a process that I have enjoyed and not enjoyed at the same time.
Were You Raised to Think You Must Struggle in Order to Deserve Happiness?
Most people today worry about their finances, their purpose, their peace of mind, their jobs, finding meaning in retirement or cultivating a healthier lifestyle overall. Ironically, there is still a strong connection to suffering that precedes any type of happiness.
The mindset has been hard-wired into most of us that suffering, complaining, struggling and the like must be in equal proportion or higher than our connection to joy, laughter and good times.
We must work hard and struggle in order to “deserve” a better lot in life. Sound familiar?
