You need to make money to have security, so you spend a huge chunk of your life at a job you don\u2019t enjoy.  You fear what might happen to your bank account or lifestyle if you take a step back to learn what truly makes you happy.  You feel like life presents you with more obstacles than opportunities.  But what if those obstacles were the opportunities, and you\u2019ve just been viewing them through the wrong lens?  Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment\u24c7, Blake shares how the fears we hold onto reveal the true nature of our beliefs. When you dare to seek out the reality that hides behind your beliefs, the possibilities for joy and happiness are all around you.    In this episode, you\u2019ll learn why the beliefs you hold onto are keeping you stuck in a life that lacks joy and fulfillment. You\u2019ll hear how fears around money, stability, and security affect our choices, and how to reframe challenges to create space for big opportunities. You\u2019ll learn how to take back control of your circumstances and see clearly that life isn\u2019t something that\u2019s happening to you, it\u2019s happening for you.    What You\u2019ll Learn: The truth about reality and your beliefs (2:25) How money affects the way we live our lives (4:14) Why hard times equal big opportunities (5:26) The first step toward creating a life of joy and peace (7:19) Experiencing life as an adventure where you\u2019re in control (9:26)   Favorite Quotes: \u201cIf you believe that you are unworthy, you will create outcomes that make you feel that way. If you believe that life is unfair or that it has to be hard or painful. If you believe that you have to work a lot of hours in order to make money, if you believe that you have no power to change the things that you want to change in your life, you will create those outcomes.\u201d \u201cI was so stuck in not understanding how to protect money as a resource and therefore that security is a resource, that I couldn't see anything else. I couldn't see that there was abundant opportunity for me, I couldn't see that. I had tremendous skills that could be used in different ways. I could only see the obstacles.\u201d \u201cLife is always teaching us lessons. The question is, are we listening and are we learning them.\u201d \u201cLife really is a beautiful, endearing adventure, and the places in your life that don't feel like what you want, those aren't the obstacles. They're not the things happening to you. They are the possibilities and the opportunities. They're the place to grow.\u201d   Additional Resources:  For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com ","author_name":"The Bridge to Fulfillment","author_url":"https:\/\/www.thebridgetofulfillment.com","html":"
