Is it really possible “to have it all”? From my own experience, I have never really wanted to have it all if it pertained to having material things such as lots of money, a big house, a late model, fancy car, a huge closet filled with designer clothes, travel to exotic places and staying in luxury hotels.
For most of my life, I have always been attracted to learning more about myself resulting in numerous courses (a major in psychology), workshops and retreats, books, and even sessions with good astrologers and psychics. From all of this, I have learned that if we want to have a good life where we can honestly say, “I now have it all” then we must take the time and work it requires to first learn who we are and accept the fact that we have imperfections but forgive that and try to make ourselves better.
If we can do this and get to know, accept and love ourselves, then we have a better chance of bringing more abundance into our life such as more money, loving relationships, a happy family, or whatever else you might want that will ultimately make you happy. Fame and fortune as we all know don’t always guarantee a peaceful and happy life. Having it all for me is about love of self and others which I know is the way to achieving a sense of peace about myself. It also gives me a purpose for being on this earth at this time because if I can spread positive energy to all those people I meet then I’ve done something worthwhile. Just think what kind of world we could have if more people could change their focus on not gaining more material things but those things we can only see if we open our hearts to love rather than fear and hate.
It can be done but it won’t be easy because it will take changing how we have been taught to be be, think, and love which we are now realising is why our world is in such a mess.

Hey Bets, you’re so right. It all comes down to love and relationships – without that there’s really nothing. I think acceptance of “what is” & living in the now is also helpful. As Jim Morrison wisely said “noone gets out of here alive”! Another quote I really love is “live simply so that others may simply live”.

Hi Sally
Thanks for the quotes. I like the second one. Do you remember who said it? Hope all is well in Vermont and that spring has sprung. Maybe it’s passing quicker than normal as it is here in NS. My Japanese crap apple was gorgeous this year but I only had a week to enjoy it in full bloom. Lilacs are out and even the lupins which usually wait until june to show up. We are heading into almost a month with no rain making it doubly hard to get my veggies to grow without tons of water. All this has got my back protesting like crazy so I have to be more careful and take time for more low back exercises and close my eyes to the weeds and mowing the lawn.
