Are You Making Success Harder Than It Needs To Be?

April 29, 2025 edition

Dear Reader,

Have you ever embraced any of the following thoughts?

  • No pain. No gain.
  • Success means blood, sweat and tears.
  • If it's not hard, then it means I'm not doing it right.

All of these thoughts follow a similar line of thinking:

Hardship is necessary if you want to achieve success.

But let's take a step back and ask if this is really true.

What if there was another way?

Can success really be easy?

Would you be open to exploring that path?

If yes, then keep on reading.

Now let’s get ALIGNED…


Inspirational Quote

"There is a force in the Universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results."
- Mahatma Gandhi

The Story and The Spiritual Lesson

A single belief was costing my client tens of thousands in potential income.

"Success has to be hard," she told me.

Sound familiar?

She had the skills. The experience. The drive. But she kept hitting an income ceiling.

Here's what shifted everything: I asked her a simple question.

"What if it could be easy?"

Her first response: "But then it won't be meaningful."

There it was...

The belief that success = struggle was running the show.

There were signs that she was forcing instead of flowing, and maybe you're showing these same signs in your life too:

1. Every decision feels heavy

2. You're always in 'push' mode

3. Success feels like a battle.

So I invited her to look at evidence where ease and flow naturally show up, for example when:

  • Rivers flow downhill
  • Seeds sprout when ready
  • Flowers bloom in season

They don't push. They don't struggle.

They align. They simply follow a natural and easeful course.

Instead of pushing harder, we got quiet. We tuned inward. I invited her to consider deeper questions.

What if...

→ Ease could be your compass?

→ Flow could be your strategy?

→ Inner wisdom could be your CEO?

The shift happens when you:

→ Trust your timing

→ Honor your energy

→ Follow your excitement

→ Listen to your wisdom

Ultimately, she came to this conclusion:

Success through ease isn't lazy. It's aligned.

A light bulb went off for her.

This was an idea she never even considered possible.

As a result of our work and her realizing this new way of being, she began to release the struggle narrative that defined her life, and everything eventually changed.

Her income expanded.

Opportunities flowed.

Decisions became clearer.

Her example is an opportune lesson for you:

Where could you let life be easier today?

Your Call to Action

For your coaching assignment for this week, let's explore a moment in your life where you experienced something magnificent and there was an ease about it.

It doesn't mean that you didn't put in any effort.

But it does mean that you allowed more of the flow, you encouraged feeling aligned, and all the resources you needed magically came together to support you.

I know you have at least one of these experiences.

Bring that experience to mind.

Remember how you felt.

Let it remind you that feeling is possible for you to experience again.

Invite that same feeling into your life right here and right now.

You see, where you put your attention is where you put your energy.

When you give your attention to feeling aligned with the truth of who you really are, and what makes your heart feel alive, you invite success to show up with greater ease and flow.

Let that feeling guide you forward, and watch your life begin to shine. ✨

Abundant Blessings and Namaste.

Maybe someone entered who brought calm. Or tension. Or inspiration. You couldn't quite explain it—but you could feel it. That’s the power of presence. That’s the unspoken language of energy.

Welcome to ALIGNED The Newsletter for Living a Life of Abundant Goodwith Spiritual Life Coach Joselito Laudencia May 27, 2025 edition Dear Reader, The other week, Richard and I stood on the streets of San Francisco surrounded by glitter, music, and lots of people dressed up as cows. Thousands of people were making their way from the Bay to the ocean—not just running, but dancing, laughing, and living out loud. It wasn’t just a race. It was something more—a moment where everyone felt free....

You’re doing all the “right” things. The calendar is full. The goals are set. But beneath it all, something feels… distant. Like a part of you went quiet.
