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

I 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 accepted to my Money Goddess retreat in Bali last 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?

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 surfers? 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...

  Seeing Only Red in a Sea of Blue   In my talks, I often play this game with the audience. I ask them to look around the room and count how many red shirts there are. After half-a-minute, I tell them to close their eyes. I ask them, “Are you ready with your answer?” They all reply with a resounding yes. Then I ask them, “Okay. How many blue shirts did you see?” They burst out laughing. And they try to guess. But no one gets the right answer. Why? Because they weren’t focused on the blue shirts but on the red. The point of this little exercise is to show them that every reality, every situation, every circumstance always has many sides. But we only see one side! Always.   You’re Not a Grasshopper   Let me tell you one of my all-time favorite stories in the Bible. The Israelites who escaped Egypt (think “Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston) were now at the edge of the Promised Land. Not knowing what it was like, they sent 12 spies to scout the land i...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...
