“Don’t chase the paper, chase the dream”
- P.Diddy (yes, I said P.Diddy)
Here’s my dream: to inspire spiritual, single women to step into their power, speak their truth and live the life of their dreams with their soulmate by their side.
WHY do you want to find your soulmate? Why do you want to live the life of your dreams? What’s YOUR dream? Are you chasing the “paper” (just the guy, the money, the hot body, the next job promotion) or are you going for fulfillment, joy, peace, self-love… the feelings your dreams, when realized, will actually provide you?
If you want to magnetize your dreams to you, you must keep your big WHY clear in your head. In the early stages of creating your dream life, there won’t always be clear evidence that your idea is a good one, or that this is the right time to go for it.
During this time, what is essential is that you believe in your vision. At the very least, you need to adopt beliefs that will support you in moving from where you are to where you want to be. In a survey of over 250 family physicians from across the country, 99% said they thought a patient’s belief could enhance and aid in their recovery process. To say it plainly, having a strong belief system is more than just an airy-fairy, New Age idea. Having a strong belief system is essential.
Since our attitudes and beliefs determine the choices and the decisions we make, your beliefs will either boost you or betray you. And please keep this in mind: your beliefs are never neutral. They either move you forward or hold you back. If you dream of attracting your true love to you, but don’t believe it’s possible, watch how quickly you’ll prove yourself right, over and over again! But if you take this same dream -to find your soulmate- and ACT as though you believe in it, you will take different actions that, if you are open and persistent, will ultimately end up in your soulmate being by your side.
There are three main limiting beliefs that we as humans tend to be born with or acquire over time. These are important to recognize when (or if) you see them showing up in your life.
Limiting Belief #1: Inadequacy. “I’m not ____(fill in the blank) enough.” I’m not good enough, smart enough, fast enough, rich enough, thin enough, young enough, old enough, etc.
Limiting Belief #2: Scarcity. “There’s not enough _______(fill in the blank) to go around.” Not enough time, money, good men to go around…it’s all just scarcity thinking.
Limiting Belief #3: Trust. “I don’t trust you, me, the timing, God, or _____” (fill in the blank). Without having trust in someone or something outside of yourself you’ll be putting so much pressure on yourself, you’ll never change your fortunes in love. Learn from and trust others, and have faith beyond that…there’s more going on than you can see, more than you can know, more than meets the eye.
Do you hear any of these lines playing in your head? If so, please know that a belief is really only a habitual thought you keep thinking that either empowers you or impedes you.
If your habitual thoughts (aka beliefs) are holding you back from taking action toward your soulmate and the life of your dreams, here’s what to do.
Replace your thoughts with these:
1. I deserve _____ (soulmate love, financial prosperity, a fit and healthy body, fill in the blank).
2. There’s plenty of _______ (good men, money, great jobs) to go around. There is enough of everything.
3. I trust that there’s a reason for everything and that God/Spirit/The Universe has my back (even if I don’t like how things look right now).
I recommend that you take 5 minutes and write these positive new beliefs on sticky notes and put them all over your house, your car, or even at your desk at work. Remember, if you don’t trust and do something different, life can hand you opportunities to have what you say you really, really want and you will miss them.
Here’s to living your dreams!
So, do any of the limiting beliefs above sound like you? If so, what are you doing to shift those beliefs? Please share in the comments section below. I love to hear from you and I do my best to respond to every comment.
Have a blessed week as you go for your dreams!

2. If you are hanging out a lot with an ex or two or three, there is very little (if any) energetic space for your soulmate. Declutter your exes from your life. Nature abhors a vacuum. Create an “empty space” so your guy – the RIGHT guy for you – can claim it. You see, you don’t need any more “friends”. My bet is you don’t see your girlfriends you’ve got right now as often as you want to as it is. This is all about creating a spaciousness in your life, so he can come in and fit like a puzzle piece into your life. But only if that space is unoccupied.
