Serve Your Highest Interest

Julie Murphy • April 11, 2014

If you’re reading this blog, chances are you are looking for a way out. It could be as something as simple as a way out of a bad part time job or as a big as a financial hole that seems insurmountable. These problems can overtake you, turning even the simplest bad fortune to something so terrible that you don’t emotionally shut down. The way I see it, you have two choices: hoard negativity or attract abundance.

The person who stays in a negative situation – whether that is toxic relationships, a bad job situation or a home life that is destructive – will see those issues seeping out into the other areas of their lives. They’ll turn to alcohol in an irresponsible way for a release. They’ll spend time with people they know aren’t good for them just to “get away from it all.” They’ll lash out at their coworkers for the smallest things.

Is this what you want? To internalize the negativity in your life only for it to seep out into ways that aren’t just self destructive for you, but potentially others as well?

You are better than this. You deserve to surround yourself with people and things that serve your highest interest. What is your highest interest? It’s two-fold. First, it’s that big, audacious, outrageous goal for your life that you think is impossible. Like owning a million-dollar business or traveling around the country speaking to thousands of people and getting paid for it. For the average person, these things seem unattainable. But you and I both know that they’re not.

Second, it’s that nagging feeling that you’re not on the right the path. And I’m not just talking about professionally or financially. It’s the people you surround yourself with. As you begin to dip your toes in that life you’ve always wanted for yourself, you realize that a few (or maybe more than a few) of the people in your life now are no longer a good fit for this new direction in your life. It’s nothing personal – and you still care for and love them just the same – but you know that in order to fully embrace what is in store for you, you must let certain people go.

I know it’s scary to let go of the relationships you’ve built with people for years, but you must determine if they serve your highest interest. If so, hold on to them. They are invaluable to your success. If not? Decide what capacity you can handle them in your life and then go from there. Who you surround yourself with and who you choose to not spend a significant amount of time with are equally important to your success.

Action step

It’s time to focus on what serves your highest interest – personally, professionally and financially. The first step in this is to figure out who and/or what needs to be dropped. Excessive spending on unnecessary things. Negative self talk. Toxic relationships. Whatever your poison is, it’s time to let that go. Power up; determine who’s going to support you and who needs to be dropped.

The result of this may seem daunting at first. Lonely. Scary. Uncertain. But know this; the more you work towards your big goals, the more you will attract the things and people that serve your highest interest.

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.
