Morgana - It’s happening FOR you, not TO you…

“It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.” Epictetus

Ever feel like you have a monkey on your back?

I just wrapped up with one of my favorite clients of all time. In one year she  married her beloved, bought the business she used to work for, and  she’s on track to sell it for 30 million dollars in 5 years or less. And she’s doing it all by leading with love.

It all started with changing her relationship with money from a monster to a honey. (She worked on her own with my workbook for 2 years before hiring me.)

As we reflected on the last year, we noticed that “problems” that cropped up (and felt really upsetting in the moment) turned out to be good things.

I’ve seen this again and again over the years: that a crisis that looks like a disaster turns into the very opportunity you’ve been waiting for and asking for.

In retrospect, the worst things that happen can be the most valuable events of our lives.

 

For example, one of the women I’ve accepted to my Money Goddess retreat in Bali in November cured herself of Lyme disease holistically after she wasn’t experiencing any improvement through conventional medicine. She has even written a book about the connections she discovered between auto-immune disease and childhood trauma, and she shares her path of inner healing and lifestyle changes for full recovery.

Wow! Can you imagine how many people need her message? (I am so excited to meet her in 2 months!)

That’s why I find it useful to experiment with re-interpreting events:

  • What if it’s not happening to you, but is happening for you?
  • What do you need to learn here, to release this struggle?
  • What becomes possible?

This trauma-to-treasure theme has been a favorite topic in my recent coaching calls. And when you try looking at the situation from this different perspective, you’ll often find the benefits and opportunities faster.

Imagine you’re a surfer. What do we know about surfer’s? They LOVE big waves. Learn to ride the waves.

Hang ten and prosper, spiritual surfer.

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Stuck In The Middle

Question: I don’t want to be in the middle of this! My boyfriend’s mother is sick and he wants to move back home to be closer to her. His mother HATES me and he wants me to go with him. The doctor’s are saying the outlook is not positive and I want him to be there for his mother but I don’t think I am a big enough person to put our issues aside to endure her. Am I horrible? Answer: Yes, you are a horrible horrible person and you’re going to hell. KIDDING!!!!!! You are magnificent and courageous and willing to tell the truth… and I find that inspiring I think it’s very important for people to be given the option to spend time with their parents as they die because sometimes people die suddenly and you never get a chance to say something; yet, your boyfriend will be able to feel good about the time, effort, and presence he gives her. And it’s also very important for you not to stop living or choose something that’s not a contribution for you and sacrifice yourself for another only t...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - Boyfriend Was Rude To Disabled Brother

Q: For about a year, I have been dating (what I thought) was a wonderful man.  I am very protective of my disabled brother so I am hesitant to introduce men in my life to him.  This guy was different so I wanted him to understand that if he was going to be a part of my life, he was going to be a part of my brother’s as well. The way he acted towards him was atrocious! He ignored him and if my brother made contact, he jumped as if my brother’s disability would rub off on him!  I thought he was the one but now I am not sure.  Thoughts? A: I’m so sorry love.  This experience must trouble your heart in two ways – how he treated your brother and disappointment for believing he was the one.  While I do not condone his behavior, I must say that people have a tendency to act unpredictable and/or unkind when they are around people who are different from them.  Through education and practice, people can change.  Would you be open to communicating with yo...
