Adapt – Your Life Depends on It

Julie Murphy • October 24, 2017

I am reminded time and time again that it is critical that no matter what is happening in our lives, we need to adapt. None of us are given our life’s roadmap to follow. Life can be messy, confusing, and not what you expected. See, that’s the whole challenge. We expect. We attach ourselves to outcomes that aren’t necessarily in our best interest, or on our soul’s path.

I hear aand read things that tell us to:

Do what’s most expansive.
Get in the flow of your life.
Detach from outcomes.

I’ve always felt these things feel so esoteric. What do they really mean? Adapting is what pulls it all together for me. When our emotions are negative, that means it’s not expansive, something is not in alignment with our soul’s path. I tell my kids all the time, it takes 17 seconds to shift our emotions. Take the 17 seconds to adapt to the situation at hand and become the observer of the junk going on in that moment in time. When you become the observer, you are looking at life from your higher self, your soul. If you don’t adapt, then you’re not in the flow of your life. When you’re not in the flow of your life, life becomes challenging and this is where many of us choose to stay suffering. Suffering becomes a lifestyle for many. The only guarantee in life is change. Adapt to the change that is always happening, become a master at it. Think of it like a dance. You’re just twisting and turning. You can choose for it to be graceful or keep falling flat on your face, it’s your choice. Don’t resist, flow. Adapt to what is, as opposed to forcing yourself to suffer when you thought it was going to be some other outcome. In a book my kids like to read there is a line in there that says, “You get what you get and you don’t get upset.” It’s become of good phrase in our house.

Adapt. Adapt. Adapt.

Adapting isn’t always easy and it takes volumes of courage. When you adapt, you’re following your inner guidance system regardless of what constraints the outer world has put on you. When you adapt to life, remember there is no need to negotiate yourself away. Rely on your inner knowing. Your inner knowing is like a muscle, give it time to build strength, you deserve it. When you approach life from your inner knowing, it’s about living life being your authentic, true, real self in every way shape and form.

Find the courage.

Love yourself enough to adapt to the changes that are on the cusp of your life. Some will be easy, some will be hard. Trust that it’s the next right thing for you and your life. When you do, you will slip into the present moment and into the flow of your life that God, or the Universe, has intended for you. You will never regret it.

What does all of this have to do with money?

Money is just the result of what you’re putting out in the world. Money is energy. Money is flowing energy. If you’re not in the flow of your life, you cut off the flow of money. If you put up with a boss that isn’t in alignment with you, you cut off money to you. If you put up with a spouse that drags you down like a lead balloon, you cut off money coming to you. If you let your kids keep tapping your credit cards or you bail them out all the time, you lose money, like a leaky container that never gets plugged. In so many cases, it’s so subtle, but it’s true. Ask yourself, how is your cash flowing? What or who do you need to release in your life to open up your cash flow?

Intention. Intention. Intention.

Set the intentions that you have for your life and your money. Come from an empowered place. Choose how you want your cash to flow in and out of your life. Don’t become victim to debt and banks. Don’t choose to be victim of any decision any politician decides. Don’t allow a spouse to tell you how it’s going to be. Choose your life. Choose to set intentions on your personal life, family life, work life and financial life. Life is really about choices. Choose wisely. Choose with setting your personal intentions!!!

In the end, what is important is that we adapt to life so that we don’t create dis-ease in our bodies. We either work things out or we act them out and we do so through our money or our health. Love yourself enough to adapt and find the courage to change your life flow now, or, as I’ve seen hundreds of time, disease will develop in your body. We don’t need to call in a health or money crisis to create the change we are being called to in our lives.

Much love to you and yours….. Julie

The Life You're Waiting For Is Waiting for You to Wake Up

By Julie Murphy • August 4, 2026

What if nothing is wrong with your life? What if the frustration you feel... The anxiety around money... The constant striving... The feeling that something is missing... Isn't a sign that you're failing. What if it's simply your soul trying to wake you up? So many of us spend our lives searching for the next thing we believe will finally make us feel whole. More money. A different relationship. A better job. A healthier body. Another vacation. Another achievement. Another finish line. Yet somehow, after every accomplishment, that feeling quietly returns. "There has to be more than this." And there is. Not because your life is lacking. Because you've been taught to look for fulfillment in places it was never meant to come from. One of the greatest lessons I've learned is that life is always working for us, even when it doesn't feel like it. Every challenge... Every financial struggle... Every relationship... Every fear... Every success... They're all invitations. Not punishments. Invitations to become more aware. Because awareness changes everything. You can't transform a belief you don't know you're carrying. You can't heal a wound you refuse to acknowledge. You can't create a different future while living from yesterday's programming. This is why I don't believe true wealth begins with your bank account. It begins with your awareness. Money simply magnifies the relationship you already have with yourself. If you believe you're not enough... No amount of money will ever feel like enough. If you don't trust yourself... It won't matter how much financial security you create. You'll still feel uncertain. Real wealth isn't something we earn. It's something we uncover. It's been within us all along, buried beneath years of conditioning, fear, expectations, and stories that were never ours to begin with. When we begin clearing away those layers, something beautiful happens. We stop chasing. We start creating. We stop reacting. We begin choosing. We stop living from fear. We begin living from love. That's where abundance begins. Not outside of you. Inside of you. That's why I created the 21-Day Wake Up Wealth Challenge . Not to teach you how to make more money. Not to convince you that positive thinking changes everything. But to give you space. Space to slow down. Space to become aware. Space to notice the patterns you've been living from without even realizing it. Over the course of 21 days, you'll begin seeing yourself differently. You'll explore the beliefs shaping your financial life. You'll reconnect with your intuition. You'll learn how your emotions influence your decisions. Most importantly... You'll begin remembering that you already have everything within you to create a life that feels aligned, peaceful, and abundant. The challenge isn't about becoming someone new. It's about coming home to who you've always been. If your heart has been whispering that it's time for something different... Listen. It may be the beginning of everything. I'd love to walk this journey with you. Because your greatest investment has never been in the stock market. It's always been in yourself. And when you awaken that relationship... Everything else begins to change. With Love, Julie P.S. Sometimes the biggest transformation doesn't happen because life changes around us. It happens because we finally become aware of the life we've been creating, and realize we have the power to create something new. If you're ready, I'd love to have you join us for the 21-Day Wake Up Wealth Challenge.
