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

Julie Murphy • February 9, 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.

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.
