how sadness can help you get happy

Have you ever stood at the edge of the ocean?

And marveled at its power…
Watched the waves crest on the surface and crash onto the shore

…Realized that it unites you
With people all over this blue planet?

…Touches the shores of
Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North and South America, Africa, and Australia.

Have you stood and felt small—and peaceful because of that,
Knowing that

you are just one of billions of souls
Finding their way on our earth.

Your challenges, your stresses, your worries

—they’re universal.

So are your loves, your delights, and your laughter.

We’re united not just by the ocean,
But by our common human experience.

Have you ever sat at the edge of yourself

And marveled at your power?

Watched the waves of your emotions crest on the surface
and crash into the shore?

And realized that you are united
With people all over this blue planet?

Your anger, your frustration, your sadness
—they’re universal.
So are your loves, your delights, and your laughter.

From Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North and South America, Africa, to Australia.

We’re united not just by the ocean,
But by our common human experience.

Sit beneath the undulations of your emotions
Watch them crest like waves
On the surface of the ocean of your soul.

Knowing that you are just one of billions of souls
Finding their way on our earth.

You’re not alone.
You’re united.

Big love,

the two ways to do anything

There are two ways to do anything

– getting a job
– finding a home
– creating a product
– launching a business
– getting a haircut
– you name it

Way 1

Do market research.
Look at listings. Check ads. Go online and search.
Look at what other people have done and choose from what already exists.
See what’s out there and how you might fit in or alter what you want to mesh with what’s available.

And then push and pull and drag whatever you need to push or pull and drag
in order to make it happen.

Way 2

Let magic happen.
Decide exactly what would be absolutely, no compromises,
totally wonderfully perfect for you.

What lights you up? What fuels your soul?

Get clear on your vision. Every little detail.
Walk around in it in your head.
Feel it with all of your senses.

Trust that it will happen.
Choose love over fear.
Let go.
And move on to the next thing that lights you up and brings you joy.

Let each joy-filled choice be your stepping stones down the path to your dream.

Let happiness guide your way.
And let the universe invite you into the perfect place, the perfect opportunity,
and the perfect blossoming of your perfect dream.

Let there be ease, joy, and flow.

Synchronicity.

You are destined for your dream.
You are destined for a life of ease and flow and deep happiness.
Happiness with a capital ‘H.’ (A full-on proper noun, no less.)

You are destined to feel so filled-up and overflowed with joy
that your cup never feels empty.

You are destined for love.

Go for it.
The universe is waiting.

Big love,

L
