SPIRITUAL SUCCESS

By Kate Gardner

Success is something that almost every person dreams about. Flashy cars, world travel, big house and piles of money in the bank. 1 million followers on Facebook. We want it all and we want it all NOW!

The Secret

However, the road to success and true wealth is far from straight and easy. It takes work, tons of patience and a whole load of work on yourself to get there. Five years ago, when I set out on my self-discovery journey and had my eyes opened to The Law of Attraction by coming across my first ever positive thinking book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrnes, I thought this was it, I had found the formula to that mega-successful life and everyone who taught this in the book and the film said basically “Think positive thoughts and you will attract whatever you want”.

Ok, seems easy enough, right? WRONG! I had never been more wrong about anything in my life and The Secret was cleverly marketed as the platform it is so that you would go hire the coaches presented to you, that’s all it was.

Now, don’t get me wrong I am not here to bash Law of Attraction coaches or people who teach the laws of the universe. I simply writing this article has a testament of my own life. What worked for me and what happened when I dug down a rabbit hole so deep for nearly 6 years, that I came right back to where it all began with the spiritual being who created it all and wrote them laws in the first place.

Victimhood

Living by laws of the universe was NOT the answer to my broke bank account, bad habits, and victimhood. It certainly wasn’t going to help me in any way possible. What was going to help me was changing my mindset daily and facing a whole lot of demons about myself and facing the truth! The day you can comfortably look at your reflection in the mirror and truly know that you have ridden your past demons, forgiven yourself and everybody who has hurt you and understand that you were created for a specific purpose and that every one of them experiences was supposed to make you into the person you are today, then you start to begin to understand that nobody is to blame for any of it.

Then when you have got to that point of accepting, you then start to learn that all along there were rules that you were supposed to live by. Rules that were left on this planet more than 4,000 years ago, only along that 4,000 years, people choose to ignore them or abuse them for their own power, which led to people living blindly while running on a hamster wheel of life and blaming everybody else and everything else for their circumstances.

I wanted to share with you what has worked for me for the past 18 months. What I experienced to begin with, which leads me what I am about to teach you and how learning it affected my life and how it felt like I was learning to walk again from being complete face down, exhausted and feeling like I could not go on!

So what happened?

Empty on the Inside

I was that success story, I had built an international publishing company in 10 short months, created and published an international best-selling book series called The Missing Piece. I had 18 best-selling books under my belt of my own and was the publisher of TV personalities, News readers, and award-winning Hollywood film directors. My company was on its way to sailing to the 7 figure mark and from the outside, it looked like I had the world at my feet.

Now let me tell you what was happening on the inside:

I was empty inside, exhausted mentally, emotionally and working 120 hours a week to run a company. I was under massive stress to pay my staffs wages every week and drove myself to near death. I went from running 9 miles twice a week. To the point, I was unable to climb the stairs without nearly collapsing at the top. I had contracted a restoration infection and my lungs were inflamed and infected.

A so-called friend at the time stabbed me in the back because he became jealous of my success. He placed a horrible post out on social media at the time calling me a con artist and because I had brought this man into my circle and referred so many clients to him (which at the time if it wasn’t for me he wouldn’t have had any clients) the majority of my clients, followers and friends saw his lies.

A few believed him and followed him while I sent my last email to warn him I still had all the evidence of the private messages that he had sent me to inform me that his relationship was abusive and I then reported him to the police and filed a harassment report against him. Even though I was sick and worn out I still had that last piece of fighting energy in me.

A week after the doubt crept in and won and I decided to walk away from the online industry altogether. I pulled down my Facebook business page with nearly 8,000 followers, pulled down my company website and let my staff go. I didn’t want to be part of a world where jealous people were out to get you, I had enough of experiencing that with my own family through the years.

I came away from the internet and concentrated fully on being a mum, wife, pet owner and my own spirituality. I cannot tell you how freeing it was to let go of all that responsibility! it was like a weight had been lifted. In that 5 months, I found a powerful spiritual coach and completely immersed myself into what she directed me towards. She had directed me towards something that I had completely ignored all my life and that had existed on this planet for thousands of years.

It was the Holy Bible, now before you think I am going to speak a load of religious rubbish at you, think again! There are two different ways to read the Bible 1) is the religious way, preach it, and not live by it; 2) Is to study the meaning, become it and see it as an instruction manual for your life. So I did, and BOY! Did I have my eyes opened! Slowing I could feel grey clouds lifting and something starting to grow from deep down inside. It was my soul, it was coming back, but this time it was more powerful than ever before!

 True Success

I started to see things I had never seen before, live by powerful spiritual principles that I had never heard before that truly blew my mind and completely changed how I did things. This walking with God thing was turning out to be a pretty freaking POWERFUL dude! I just couldn’t get enough! So I kept on studying and have kept on walking with my God for the past 2 years.

In that time I came back to the online industry and launched an online digital magazine and consulted business owners on how to publish, market and make $18,000 with one book before it goes to print. My next mission is to teach the powerful principles that helped me pull myself off the floor to coming back more powerful than I have ever been!

So, if an ex-drug addict, alcoholic who was brought up in a pagan household can go on to use these spiritual principles in her life to make a better one, then so can you!

It all just depends if you are going to stop running and start facing true responsibility in your life.

Real true success comes from spiritual success first.
