Join me as we continue our 10-part series inspired by the book "The Right Questions" by Debbie Ford. If you're curious about the backstory of this series, you can check out episode 89, but it's not necessary to enjoy today's episode.In this episode, we're diving into a captivating question: "Is this an act of faith or an act of fear?" I want to share some powerful insights from the book itself, as the author beautifully unpacks the nuances of these two aspects. Every significant choice we make is guided by either faith or fear. Faith opens doors to new possibilities, allowing us to explore uncharted territories, whereas fear keeps us rooted in the past and limits our growth.I reflect on my own experiences related to this question and how, when I decided to move from Winnipeg to Calgary to be with my partner, Dave, it required an act of faith and opened up the most amazing relationship I’ve ever known.If you're facing a significant decision in your life, I encourage you to ask yourself whether your choice is c

In this episode of the *Manifesting Millions Podcast*, host Amy van Meijl delves into the important question: "Will this choice add to my life force or will it rob me of my energy?"

Human Design categorizes people into five types: Manifesters, Manifesting Generators, Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors.Amy, a Generator type in Human Design, discusses how generators are like literal generators that create energy. However, she emphasizes that not all activities align with one's life force, even for generators. She shares personal experiences, such as feeling energized and engaged when working as a coach or facilitator, and how these activities align with her life force. She also points out that when a generator is misaligned, it can drain energy, even from activities that seem positive on the surface.A

Welcome back to the Manifesting Millions podcast! Today's episode is the third in a series of 10 based on the book "The Right Questions" (Episode 89). We're diving into the question of "will this choice will bring me long-term fulfillment or will it bring me short-term gratification?" This question often carries a sense of guilt and shame, influencing how we approach it. I want to explore how we can shift our perspective and use this question to make healthier and more supportive decisions. When faced with a choice, we tend to wonder if it will help us reach our goals or just bring momentary happiness. Personally, I've often felt guilty when contemplating purchases, especially clothing items. I've learned that it's essential to make conscious and intentional decisions about how I use my money. The key is to move in the direction we desire while maintaining a healthy balance. To address this, I started questioning my choices differently. By adjusting the way we ask ourselves this question, we can neutralize a

I also touch on the significance of setting expanded goals and aligning our frequency with them.Throughout the episode, I invite you to pay attention to your own focus and language, encouraging you to shift your perspective towards what's positive and joyful.
