Is your life an authentic expression of who you really are? If you lived truer to your joy and passion, what would you be doing differently? Do you recognize the perfect self you are, no matter what your mind or appearances tell you?

If you feel there must be more, there is more.

Your sense of boredom, contraction, or resentment is your soul's way of letting you know that you are settling for less. While we fear that we may get hurt if we go for our dreams, we hurt ourselves much more by putting up with painful, dysfunctional, or unfulfilling situations.

When your discomfort with the status quo out-weighs your fear of making a change, you will move ahead and be grateful for the motion bestowed by divine discontent.

Knowing that "this can't be it" implies that you do know what is it. You may not be able to verbalize what it is, but somewhere inside you, your knowingness lives. Now that you recognize what you don't want, what do you want?

A woman who was going through a major life upheaval told me, "All I know for sure is that I want to walk in the woods each morning."

"Great!" I told her. "That's all you need to know for now; just walk in the morning, and you will be led to your next realization."

The moment you shift your attention from what you don't want to what you do want, you set into motion a series of dynamics that will lead you to fulfillment. Positive thinking does not mean making believe something is serving you when it isn't.

Positive thinking means finding the good in all experiences, including the ones that guide you away from repeating them.

If you feel there must be more, there is more.
