If You’re Having a Hard Time Right Now… This Might be Why

Julie Murphy • Feb 09, 2021

I’ve just realized something: this past week or so has been FULL of examples in my life showing me how important it is to be in a place of acceptance when it comes to things you cannot control.

If you haven’t noticed, we suffer when we don’t actually accept the things arising in our lives. When we’re fighting against things outside our own control, we end up triggered and often miserable, unable to achieve the financial abundance or deep personal fulfillment we do desire.

This has been made so clear to me this past week that I want to share a bit more of what I mean…

Why Suffering Cycles Happen

I don’t care what topic we’re talking about: acceptance is an essential step to getting yourself out of suffering cycles and on your way to achieving the financial abundance and deep personal fulfillment of your dreams.

Say we’re talking about politics, the current economic status, the condition of your current relationship, the fact that maybe your job is still shut down, or that you can’t go into a restaurant like you used to. There are all kinds of things we have personal attachments to or opinions on, and while that’s perfectly fine, I want to challenge each and every one of you to take a step back. Consider how your attachments and opinions are affecting your life. Really examine if you’re getting triggered by all these opinions and attachments.

If you’re at all like most people now, you’re probably getting triggered left and right.

The Importance of Acceptance

There are some things you simply have to accept about your life if you want to end your suffering cycles. We have to accept that we now have a different president in the United States. We have to accept that we’re still in a pandemic. We have to accept that we’re probably going to be required to get a vaccination if we want to travel the way we used to.

None of this means we can’t still have opinions, attachments, or the ability to make smart choices. In fact, these things are perfectly possible! All I’m saying is that when we don’t accept the things arising in our lives, the things outside our own lives that we have no control over, we get majorly triggered.

When we emotionally trigger to not being able to dine-in at a restaurant or go back to our normal work lives, it’s a clear sign that something needs to shift within us. While that may sound like an oxymoron, the acceptance portion of life is huge. Without it, we get trapped in repetitive suffering cycles, triggering us over and over and over. And that triggering uses up the amount of energy you have to go grab your dreams. 

Start Some Conversation

So what is it in your life that you’re having a hard time accepting? Is it all the pandemic regulations? Is it the economy? Is it related to your work or children’s schooling? Whatever it is, I’d like to challenge you to figure out how you can accept it as the way your life is now—because you can’t control anything outside of your own life, and trying will only keep you trapped in a suffering cycle.

This is really about loving yourself enough to have courage and start some conversations with yourself about acceptance. It’s time for you to step into your financial abundance and break the disempowering beliefs in your life.

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.
