Why Life Becomes Better When You Stop Listening to Influencers and Start Listening to Yourself

spiritual health and wellness Apr 12, 2026

The more that I experience life and have studied my past failures meticulously, the more I come to understand that there is one common denominator when it comes to success and failure… and that ultimately is myself.

 

Sure, there have been times in my life where disaster strikes, tragedy hits, a death or emergency has occurred and there are uncontrollable circumstances that have come my way, but aside from those, I can honestly say that yes… I was the problem, and thank God I am also the solution too.

 

I think so often it’s easy to just use the phrase “everything happens for a reason”, and sure, it does, but perhaps one of those reasons is to wake you the fuck up and get you to realize that how you think, what you believe, what you dwell upon, how you show up to the world, what you focus on, and the actions you choose to take are all in your own hands and are all creating your own reality and future.

 

What I know to be true is that whenever I just randomly got up and went about my day blindly, doing whatever the hell my little heart desired, or focusing on outcomes or solutions to problems that were almost always created by the mind of fear, my life became way more complicated than it really needed to be.

 

However, when I stopped long enough and truly sat with myself to consult what God… or my higher self… or divine intelligence… or the universe… or whatever you really want to call it, my life became a heck of a lot easier.

 

When I follow that inner guidance system, my steps are ordered, I trust that all in unfolding perfectly, and that all is well. I also know that if I listen closely and follow that guidance, I can get through anything… Even the messes I somehow always would create from when I was disconnected from a source of love.

 

It’s so easy to wake up and just do whatever everyone else is doing. It’s so easy to just move your body or eat in a way that some influencer on social media told you to eat. It’s so easy to read an article, buy the next quick fix, invest in the next program, or buy the next supplement, but did you really stop to ask yourself if that action step is right and best for you?

 

... And in the end was it easier?  Or did you somehow make your life a hell of a lot harder while wasting more time, money, effort and energy for results that didn't actually last?

 

Did you really stop and ask yourself what you wanted to eat, how you wanted to move your body, and how you wanted to spend your day?

 

Did you ask yourself what time you should go to bed or when you actually wanted to get up in the morning?

 

Did you really stop to ask yourself how you should spend or invest your money, what work you should be doing, or how you should be doing it?

 

Did you ask yourself what you are worth, how much money you make each year and and how much you should charge?

 

Did you really stop and ask yourself what pills or vitamins your body needs and whether or not you should put that supplement or pill into your body?

 

Did you really stop and ask yourself what your ideal body weight is or how you should look?

 

Did you really ask yourself what kind of car you wanted to drive or what clothes you wanted to wear?

 

Did you really ask yourself where you wanted to live or how you wanted to spend your weekends?

 

Did you you ask yourself what products you wanted to put on your face or how long you wanted your hair to be?

 

What about kids, pets, vacations, and books you should read?  

 

Did. You. Ask?

 

And by asking yourself, I mean not just going blindly off on your own deciding or copying others, but rather stopping long enough to pause, and consult that deeper part of yourself that whispers softly in your ear when the world quiets down and your phone is on do not disturb.

 

Not some random influencer on social media. Not your momma. Not your church pastor. Not your grandma. Not your financial advisor. Not your husband. Not your doctor.  Not the news station or weather man.  Not some magazine article or what the “research” says. Not some next trending cool thing on social media.

 

But your own god given influence, imagination and unique divine expression.

 

Did you ask THAT source?

 

Did you ask yourself what you wanted and did you actually fucking listen to yourself and be self-obedient?

 

I mean, there is a divine intelligence that created you, that built you, that formed you in your mother’s womb before you were even born.  Don't you think it would know best how you work and what your body and life needs to make it the absolute best?

 

Did you even think to consult this divine intelligence, or did you just look outside of yourself for the answer? Because coming from my own personal experience… when you ask, it is given, and that truth?

 

Well, it will set you free and you’ll be a hell of a lot happier and healthier because you’re finally for once in your entire life listening and honouring yourself the way you truly deserve.

 

The end.
