This past week in my mentorship, I was talking with my students about happiness. Now, happiness is not what you really think it is. When you are happy, if you're like most women, it's because you've gotten an outcome that you wanted.

But have you ever considered that it's as much about getting the outcome you want as it is about not getting the outcome you don't want?

This is rooted in fear.

You're happy because you didn't lose your job. You're happy because your car didn't break down. You're happy because your kid didn't get sick.

All of those things are rooted in a fear of losing your job, fear of loss of money, or fear of illness happening to your family.

If you look at happiness this way, happiness has this amazing power to show you where your fear is.

This is important because your fear is screwing with your frequency. Your fears are your negative stories and limiting beliefs. And that is all holding you back from living more permanently at a higher frequency, hearing more clearly the wisdom of the Universe, and actually creating what you WANT in life (instead of more of what you don’t want – because your fears always just create more of your fears).

So you have the potential to change your life starting right now, if you choose to ask questions about what your happiness is showing you about yourself, who you are, and what you are afraid of.

But what most women do is bury their head in the sand. I get it. Uncovering our fears, let alone looking at them dead in the eye, can feel downright, well…scary, right?

Yet, is that not just another fear that is lowering your frequency and holding you back from the life you were born to live as the Goddess you are?

So if you’re here to take action to change your life, not just think about it or talk about it or wait for it to magically happen someday, I invite you to look at your happiness square in the face and ask yourself, “What am I afraid of?”
