Maria Felipe, our guest on today’s show, guides us into how one can do just that. Maria believes that cultivating self-love and a feeling of abundance are KEY to finding true happiness. She delves into her life struggle of people pleasing and her general lack of self-love—factors that have contributed to her becoming intrinsically unhappy. Today, she discusses just how she managed to let go of her grievances, cultivate that self-love, and ultimately find that true sense of happiness. Tune-in to learn how your willingness to connect to the Holy Spirit and to your spirit within can help you live your happy. Today’s guest is Maria Felipe Her book Live Your Happy: Get Out of Your Own Way and Find the Love Within is based on A Course in Miracles The books urges readers to live at MAX capacity; be responsible by not being a victim of the world that you see Being FORGIVING, even when and if you do not want to, WILL make you feel better Maria was suffering because she was dissatisfied with the state of her relationships and her career In this world of duality, we are constantly looking for outside validation to be “complete” Was even attending the Course of Miracles in a bid to find happiness Her personal life went through major upheaval in 2009 when she went through a divorce; resorted to drinking and partying to cope up Started to recognize that if she did not mend her ways, she was doomed to die Decided to go to The Pathways of Light, a ministerial program to further her study on the Course of Miracles Opted to go there not to become a teacher, speaker or instructor but to HEAL her mind The Course of Miracles says, “All you need is a little bit of willingness for miracles to happen”; inherently willing, she finally warmed up to the program Tried reading books and listening to CD’s in her self-help and desperation phase, but to no avail Need to EMBODY the teachings and live them in your relationships with yourself and others Realized the futility of looking for love outside of oneself Tranced with the world and caught up in our egos, we have gotten comfortable with being unhappy Being EASY and being HAPPY is the true normal; happiness, our function and inheritance is the true reality BIG DEALS rob us off our inheritance, our happiness—in other words, when we make a big fuss over small issues or catastrophize certain events in our life that end up stealing our peace Cultivate a mindset where you are happy regardless of the outcome; your happiness is not dependent on things outside of you Remember, outside stuff does not define you; GOD does Avoid falling in the ego trap where you think, “You could have, you should have or would have done it better” Avoid being obsessed with your looks and being skinny just to people please or get something else from the outside world Maria’s body is just a reflection of her thoughts Your bank account and your job do not define you; you will not find abundance in your life via monetary gains Your life is inherently abundant since you are God’s creation; you have everything and lack nothing Our ego pushes us to achieve more and more in this consumption driven society Maria beat 500 girls to land a job at World Wrestling Federation; while this job had all the trappings of success, Maria was the saddest she had been all her life The only thing that you want to truly MANIFEST is what the holy spirit guides you to do; look to manifest more internal things rather than external things “You want the holy spirit’s guidance because you want what is best for the soul growth. You want to wake up more and more to the love that you are” Sometimes you need to GIVE up all desires to DISCOVER what is truly best for you Stop and gain control over your wandering mind to truly CONNECT with your spirit The Holy Spirit communicates with you through signs and symbols; it will meet you where you are at Given the current state of society at large, Maria believes that you need BIG WILLINGNESS in order to truly connect with the Holy Spirit Had been longing for a man’s love all her life; realized the futility of this when she realized that she was, in fact, longing for God’s love and that she had it all along Upon realizing that all the conflict was within herself, and that she was holding herself back from the holy, the good and the beautiful, she finally became FREE Is in a great relationship right now due to the self-love that she was able to cultivate “Feeling your feelings” is extremely important for dealing with your emotional issues; don’t brush your feelings under a rug, respond to the nudge that the Holy Spirit is giving you Check out the resources mentioned
