Here’s What Might be Holding You Back

Julie Murphy • Jan 05, 2021
Times of change and craziness really bring a lot of clarity sometimes, and one of the things I wanted to share with you guys that I’m becoming super, super clear on, especially with everything that’s going on, is this: unless we deliberately make a change, we are going to start repeating all of our old patterns, or at least try to repeat a lot of the patterns from before COVID, even if that means repeating the worst of our suffering cycles.
Here’s what I mean…

The Effects of Repeating Patterns
The other day, I went out to a restaurant to eat with my kids. It’s been a long time of social distancing and we wanted to enjoy some time out for a bit. However, as I was eating at the restaurant, I noticed something as I was eating food I hadn’t been eating for the last few months. I kept having to blow my nose because there was something in the food that I have a sensitivity to. I’d been far more careful and was choosing better foods before, but as life started going back to “normal,” I made some exceptions for myself. And it didn’t feel good.

I know this is a really, really small example but it represents a big meaning. There are so many patterns we are repeating every day, and that we’ll start repeating again once our “normal” starts up again. 

In case some of you aren’t aware of astrological charts or the Schoolman Index, the energy intensity that’s going on here on earth is massive. We are either being called to break down due to all of our patterning and stay in our suffering cycles that have created the life you have now… or we’re being called to have a breakthrough.

Are You Going to Have a Breakdown or Breakthrough?
Personally, I am going to break through every ounce I possibly can. I’m aligning with my soul in exactly what I’m here to do, because if I don’t, then the hits of life are going to keep on coming. Things are going to become more intense and if I’m unwilling to break through and align, the suffering cycles will simply continue. 

We all are going to have life lessons that prompt us to go in the direction of our soul. For many of us, that shows up in what we call a “midlife crisis.” This is when your soul starts to lead your life versus your personality, but that’s not what I’m doing. That’s not what has to happen here. You don’t have to wait for that breaking point.

No matter what age you are, you’re going through ups and downs, experiencing crisis points, but it doesn’t have to go to a crisis. You can choose to face your stuff now, just like I’m facing my stuff every day. I’m human, just like you guys, but what I’m really clear on is how important it is to keep on breaking through.

If you choose to sweep things under the rug or hide from your traumas and difficulties, this breaks you down and will absolutely start to consume you, sending you into a downward crisis spiral. The energy of today will either catapult you forward into a new beginning and a new life, or it’s going to catapult you farther down in your breakdown, consuming you on some level as the crisis keeps growing bigger… until you actually make a shift.

What’s Your Personal Journey?
I wanted to share this today because as I was sitting at lunch, trying to infiltrate back into society and then repeating old patterns that weren’t good for me, I realized how important it is to truly align with your soul. I hope you think about this, because each of us have our own individual pathway that leads to our highest and best life. I hope you do the most self loving thing. Do you, and the universe or God will fill out the rest.

So, invest in yourself, claim your unique power, and watch your life transform.

True wealth goes beyond numbers. It's about inner peace, joy, and living a life aligned with your authentic self.
By Julie Murphy 05 Mar, 2024
In today's fast-paced and money-driven world, many individuals find themselves successful in their careers but can feel like they are missing out on their personal lives. We put aside our dreams of having a family, a relationship, or our hobbies for our career. Unfortunately, this happens to many people, and before we know it, the only friends we have are the people we work with. But what if we could have it all? What if we could have a thriving career and a fulfilling personal life? It may seem impossible, but with the right mindset and approach, it is achievable. Today I wanted to share with you 9 ways that you can bring personal fulfillment and happiness into your life along with loving relationships, the things we crave beyond money. When money isn’t an issue and our career is established, or perhaps we receive an inheritance or a big pay-out, we start seeking something more. We start looking for experiences that money can't buy, experiences that bring true happiness and fulfillment. This is where the concept of real wealth and impact comes into play. It's about knowing who we are and what truly matters in life. If you are searching for satisfaction beyond monetary wealth or seeking a greater sense of purpose in life, I invite you to read this article and join my free IMPACT workshops . These workshops, held every couple of months, are designed to provide you with insights and tools to help you heal the impact money, career, and relationships have on your happiness and success. Mark your calendars the next workshop will be held on Thursday, March 21st at 12 pm CST. 9 Ways That You Can Bring Personal Fulfillment And Happiness Into Your Life 1. Creating a Vision for an Ideal Life: Envisioning our ideal life involves more than just financial success. It's about considering our relationships, hobbies, health, travel, and contribution to society. By understanding what is truly important to us, we can re-direct our life journey toward what is most meaningful and fulfilling. 2. Finding Balance in Life: Balancing career success, personal relationships, and overall well-being can be challenging. It requires setting boundaries and priorities to invest time and energy into personal growth, self-care, and meaningful connections. Real wealth is about finding balance and having it all rather than sacrificing one aspect for another. 3. Defining True Success: Success is often equated with financial wealth, but there is more to life than money. Redefining success means exploring what brings true joy, purpose, and fulfillment. By aligning our goals with our authentic desires, we can experience a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment that goes beyond material measures. 4. Cultivating Healthy Relationships: Building and maintaining healthy relationships is crucial for personal and professional fulfillment. Sometimes, we may feel awkward or uncertain about developing meaningful connections. However, by learning the tools and techniques to establish and nurture strong relationships, we can enhance our overall satisfaction and emotional well-being. 5. Self-reflection and Self-awareness: Self-reflection is a powerful tool for personal growth and fulfillment. Through self-reflection exercises, we can uncover what is truly holding us back. It is only by gaining self-awareness of our beliefs, desires, patterns, coping mechanisms, and approaches to relationships that we can discover our true selves and what we genuinely want in life. 6. Discovering Passions and Purpose: Immersing ourselves solely in our careers and financial pursuits may leave little room for our passions and life purpose. To discover our passions and purpose, we must explore activities that ignite our creativity, joy, and sense of fulfillment outside of work. By aligning with our passions, we can uncover our purpose and bring greater meaning to our lives. 7. Building Meaningful Connections: Surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals and fostering meaningful connections is crucial for personal fulfillment. When we connect with peers who share similar interests and aspirations, we experience quantum leaps in personal growth. Building a supportive network of people who feel like family can provide a sense of belonging and create priceless moments that impact us for life. 8. Prioritizing Well-being: The pursuit of financial success often comes at the cost of our physical and mental well-being. Prioritizing well-being is the foundation for overall life satisfaction. By incorporating exercise, mindfulness, meditation, affirmations, and self-care routines into our lives, we can achieve a more balanced and fulfilling existence. 9. Mindful Wealth Creation & Management: Mindfulness can be applied not only to meditation but also to wealth creation. By aligning our financial goals with our values and principles, we can create a conscious and purposeful approach to wealth. This approach can have a positive impact on our lives and the world. Make Personal Fulfillment Fun & Easy: Discovering personal fulfillment beyond financial success is possible. It starts with investing our money and time into the things that bring us closer to who we are, help us discover what truly matters, and pave the way for lasting happiness. If our relationship with money is healthy, and we know the right things to do with our money, it can help us feel fulfilled. By creating real wealth in every area of our lives, we can live a life we love. If you are searching for satisfaction beyond money, a greater sense of purpose in life, and deeper and more meaningful relationships, I invite you to register and join my free IMPACT workshop .

Control is an illusion. We can plan and strategize, but ultimately, life has its own agenda. Clinging too tightly to control only creates resistance and blocks the flow of abundance.

Manifesting can be a challenge, but it is possible if you are willing to put in the work. When we take care of ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we create the space for the downloads to flow through us.
