Do you ever wonder what may be blocking you from having more enjoyment in your life? What keeps you from having more of what you really want? Have you ever wondered what it would take for you to have a really fulfilling life?

If so, you are not alone. As human beings we naturally desire ‘more’…and why not? Life is our playground and we are meant to have all that we want. In my experience, there are many ingredients that go into the mix of having a life that is truly fulfilling, including the following five key elements. When they are actively present in your life, they pave the path to having a life that truly works.

(1) A working knowledge of The Law of Attraction that is integrated into your life. It is one thing to understand this important universal law intellectually. It is another to demonstrate it consistently day by day in your life. You may have seen or read The Secret, thinking you now “know” the key to the power of the Law of Attraction. Actually, it takes time to learn to use any tool before our lives begin to show up as we want it consistent with the principles of the law.

(2) Be fully present in the now moment. Gaining a basic understanding of the power of being present in the now by watching Oprah’s teleclass series with Eckhart Tolle or reading Tolle’s or other books, can awaken our awareness of the power of being present. Yet we often need assistance to make the journey from living in our stories about the past and the future to experiencing the magic of “now.” For most of us, reading and understanding is not enough. We need a laboratory to experiment and create the habit of coming from a “now” perspective.

(3) Let go of holding on to the past and use the energy we have to forge the life we desire. Rather than living in the past or at the effect of the past, consider the possibility of looking at what gifts you received by experiencing your past. For example, is there something that you feel you needed that you did not get in your childhood? Are you still looking for that? What if you were to give what you did not get to others? I have found that as we contribute to others that which we feel we did not receive ourselves, we begin to experience emotionally having what we desperately wanted and needed. This step is pivotal in allowing us to move from victimization into wholeness. By giving to others what we feel we did not receive, we fill this need in ourselves and begin to create the live we want.

This perspective brings another gift to us. As we give away what we feel we did not receive. We can the easily forgive those that we feel harmed us.This frees us up energetically. Once again, it is not enough to get this concept intellectually. The power comes from living it consistently in our lives. Many times our ego plays tricks with us by denying that we have issues with the past. In addition, in our predominantly left-brain oriented culture, we receive the subconscious message that if we understand a concept intellectually, we have it handled. In truth, awareness is merely the important first step.

(4) Live your life on purpose. Each of us is de-serving (in Latin this translates to “about serving”). As we get in touch with our vision, our passion and our purpose, we become actively engaged in living these out. As we do this, we experience true personal fulfillment and we have the happiness and joy that we desire.

(5) Keep it alive. Lastly, and most importantly, we need to nourish these perspectives by living them consistently in our every day lives. To accomplish this, we need to surround ourselves with true friends who will “tell it like it is,” and personal coaches and mentors who are skilled in, and living, these principles. As we change and grow and adopt new life perspectives, we need assistance maintaining shifts that support us in having a life that works.

We humans are dynamic beings. Our souls are in a natural evolutionary process that is occurring within us whether or not we consciously know it. I believe there is a reason Spirit put all of us together on the same planet. I believe we can all help each other to actually “experience” peace and happiness. Some people are more skilled, trained and committed to assisting us in this journey. If you follow your intuition, you will know when the next right and perfect resource for you shows up.

Life is constantly giving us opportunities to learn and grow and shift. Then one day, we realize we have what we desire. This gives birth to the next desire. And the journey continues.
