Iyanla Vanzant lost EVERYTHING...and I mean EVERYTHING...her television show...her career that she built up...her book deals (she went bankrupt and owes her publishers mega-bucks)...she lost her husband (he divorced her), her only child (a daughter, who died), her beautiful home. In short, she had a falling out with Oprah Winfrey over 11 years ago (she just apppeared on Oprah's show to literally "air" their differences. In the old days, Iyanla appeared on Oprah's show every other Tuesday, and she was next in line to launch her own show (alla Dr. Phil). Iyanla was spiritual teacher and she was on her way to fame and fortune. But she lost all she had, and now realizes now that she plain didn't know how to negotiate business deals and ultimately protect herself, financially and emotionally and psychologically. Her new book, PEACE FROM BROKEN PIECES, tells her very powerful, and ultimately, victorious story - and I don't know too many people who wouldn't benefit from reading it. I know I will.

"Light-Worker" Definition
light-worker (lite-were-kur): any soul who falls from heaven into a human body on earth with the specific objective to bring, display and share only happiness, joy, grace, compassion, and every good virtue, especially loving-kindness with not only a particular group of like-minded souls, but mostly to do so with as many individuals on the planet as possible with the spiritual and mostly invisible assistance of the "great collective unconsious"; and sometimes at the extensive expense and sacrifice of financial security and economic stability (the latter of which are foreign items of understanding to those from "the above").

Leave Your Competitive Spirit Behind
You are "up against" no one.
What you do has absolutely no "relationship" to what others do.
At least as how we have come to define "relationship" in the past.
Your journey is your journey. Their journey is their journey.
The prosperity of the Universe is vast, and there is an overflowing amount of Success and Love and Joy for everyone.
The "pie" is huge, and there are countless pieces of it for each of us.
And yet there is no division between any of us.
Live your life and work your work with this formula:
FOCUSED INTENT + POSITIVE "FEELINGS" = SUCCESS (in ALL Areas of Existence).
We may have lived competitive lives in the past - and competition may have been part of the game of life. And that once worked. But now there is a new consciousness on the rise in the world.
Today, you are on a NEW journey. A journey of sharing...a journey of assistance...in making the world a better place for everyone. You are now helping to make individuals and the Earth's combined soul stronger and healthier in every way.
You are now a major CONTRIBUTOR to the world. Not a competitor.
Those who you view as your competitors - are actually your co-contributitors. And you must be happy for them. You must even be happy for those who may be MORE successful than you. Your joyful feelings for others will increase YOUR good feelings for YOURSELF...and YOUR prosperity will increase.
Anyone is able to offer sympathy for those less fortunate. But true kindness is expressed when you can be happy for the person ABOVE you - when you are at the top. And you are indeed at the top of YOUR game. Because you only have YOUR game. Everyone else has THEIR game.
Let them win theirs and you win yours.
There is no competition.
In the realm of TRUE Joy, Success and Love - competition does not exist.
Embrace who you are...embrace what you do...share your heart and your wisdom...care for and - about - others...with a JOYFUL spirit - and send Light and Blessings to everyone along the way, each step of the way.
What's more - do not merely help people to succeed - but BE THE REASON they succeed.
In turn, your own success will be multiplied, tenfold - and you will "win" every time.
Guaranteed.

Suffering As A Way To Enlightenment Is A Lie
Suffering is a lie. I don't believe in it. I don't trust it. And I don't buy into the fact that it "teaches us" anything. So if there are any challenges in this broken world, then I "challenge" you to rise ABOVE those challenges...and to realize there is a better path to enlightenment besides suffering. And that path is by following the LIGHT itself.

NICE!
Don't underestimate the power of NICE. And before you make any decision, speak any word, or offering any opinion, ask yourself, "What would NICE do?"
Because you can always catch more buterflies with honey and sugar than you can with vinegar and oil.

LOVE Loves You
This is your time. It is annointed for you. It is solid. It is unchangable. It is set in stone. It is blessed. It is holy. It is sound.
It is all good because of the fabric of good that lines your soul - the grid of your heart...the heart of gold that is laced with lines of joy that reach LOVE and allows LOVE to see you clearer and cearer every day.
LOVE has heard the Angels to whom you have called to your side. You now have the graces and annointings through the Angels, who are with LOVE..and who are praying to LOVE upon your request.
Yet you now never have to request a prayer from LOVE ever again...for LOVE hears and sees you like never before....like before you were born...when you planned today.
LOVE is so happy for you. You have done well in your journey...in your work for LOVE. You have served as a blessing to LOVE.
You have made LOVE what you would understand as "proud," though pride is only something that this world recognizes.
It pleases LOVE to please you because You Are LOVE...and LOVE loves you.
There is no other way to say:
LOVE loves you.
Now sit back, sustain your strong faith - and allow the feather to fall into your hand.

Happy!
I dedicated what many would call my "prime years" to caring for my beautiful parents. And I wouldn't have changed a thing. Caring for my ill, elderly Mom and Dad in their last years was one of the most mature things that I have ever did. (As far as I'm concerned, I got the "maturity market" covered!)
That said, I live my life as honestly as I can. I wake up every day with every attempt to make this world a better place. We all have flaws. We all make mistakes. No one's perfect. And don't ever let anyone make you feel like you're the only one who makes mistakes. Especially the person who always makes the biggest mistake of not being warm-hearted.
And yet the cold-heartred in this sometimes cold-world needs your sensitive soul more than they know. The insensitive may not be willing to admit that. But it's the truth.
No matter how much people hurt us, we must be kind to the unkind. That doesn't mean we have to have unkind people in our lives, that just means we should just bless on their way those who hurt us. If anything, to help insure that we don't get hurt again.
So you just go and be the best person you can be. Be as nice as you can be. And if people don't appreciate what you bring to the table of their lives...then move on.
Truth be told: Happy people don't act unhappy. That's all there is to it. And I've had my fill of unhappy people. For I firmly believe that the best way to live is to surround yourself only with happy people. And that means eliminating all name-calling, cold-hearted, mean-spirited, confrontational people who are always looking for a fight.
Now go BE HAPPY!
