One of the main ideas that has been floating around the self help/spirituality/new age world for a while is the idea that when we focus on our own joy, when we focus on making ourselves feel good, when we allow ourselves to go after what we want and what lights us up - that THIS is our biggest service to the world around us.
There is a lot of talk about how living our 'best lives' is also our biggest act of service to others - because when we live a life we love, when we feel good, when we feel empowered and happy - this in turn gives those around us permission to do the same.
People say that it's not really what you 'do' that affects people, but who you ARE and how they feel when they are around you - leading to this idea that the happier you are, the more you are going to foster happiness in others because being around your happiness will make them happy.
This idea sounds nice. It sounds simple and straightforward.
Do what you want, do what makes you happy, and realize that this is your contribution to the world because others will feel inspired and free to go after their dreams when they get around you.
But is this idea really TRUE?
Is following what feels good to you and doing what you want to do all the time REALLY the *best* thing you can do for others?
Is it actually true that the more you are following your heart's desires the more you are making others feel safe to do the same?
Or is it possible that this view of following one's bliss is overly simplified and not totally in alignment with reality?
Is it possible that there is a dark-side to living your life with SO much focus on your own happiness? Is it possible that this self focus really CAN make you 'selfish' in a kind of way that isn't good for you OR for those around you?
Let's take some time to sort through this today. Let's sort the fact from the fiction, and let's add in the missing nuance that will lead to actual empowerment.

Loving this content, but don’t know how to put it all together?
Are you resonating with the self love path and these tools for self awareness - but aren’t quite sure how to start or how to turn these ideas into actual practices?
Then I have the perfect thing for you!
The Aliyah Mystery School takes all the guesswork out of finding a way of life that works for YOU.
The school is a step by step, full map of the self love territory. It provides you with everything you need to slowly transition from the self improvement/never feeling like enough way of life - to one where you feel capable of supporting yourself, processing your emotions and figuring out your next steps - whatever those steps may be.
The School is designed to give you all the tools you need, in order, that will allow you to figure out YOUR life path, as it presents itself, one step at a time.
It will teach you how to stop seeing yourself as a failure/something to ‘fix’ so that you can see the TRUTH that has always been - all you need is SUPPORT and UNDERSTANDING.
It also comes with a community of fellow students that you can connect with, as well as monthly meetings with me so we can deepen on this journey together.
Check out the school here for more information - and don’t hesitate to send me a message with any questions you may have.
Looking forward to seeing you in the virtual halls of the Aliyah Mystery School soon.
