After many years in strategic leadership roles across global institutions—spanning project management, management sciences, and complex systems—I chose early retirement from corporate life to follow a more soul-guided path. I now walk the path of my highest purpose. I am also a mother of two daughters, a widow, and a friendly presence to everyone I meet. I bring my whole self into everything I do. My writing is spiritually inspired, shaped by a lifelong devotion to purposeful service and a journey of conscious, lived experience.
Authentic experiences come from one’s actions being in alignment with one’s nature in its pure form, of the soul, and not of the inflated or deflated ego. Aligning with one’s authenticity helps one to successfully live a meaningful and fulfilled life—rich in spirit; of high integrity; unconditionally loving oneself; relating fairly, peacefully and respectfully; as one’s true self.

Richness of spirit is a form of prosperity. It is the greatest kind of wealth because it is sourced directly from God and can be enjoyed no matter your circumstances. Mankind and its (his/her) flaws cannot intervene in this type of wealth and the great fulfillment it brings when you achieve it.
How to detect that you have reach self mastery/your true self empowerment or the higher level of consciousness.
1. You would be now doing your life purpose. You would have freed yourself of thinking that you have to work to make money and instead ask yourself, “How can I serve humanity?”. Money would no longer be your primary focus as you would now settle in to knowing and experiencing that your needs would be abundantly met by God through the Universe.
2. You would now see the world from a perspective of abundance instead of from a space of lack.
3. You would master being free and happy in the present moment.
4. You would now create your reality in partnership with God by totally letting go of the reins and allowing God to always guide you. You would be doing so while being in your truth and in fairness and compassion to others.
5. You would be living in abundance of happiness, fulfillment, unconditional love to self and others.
The spiritual path is to help us evolve spiritually so that we can live our most fulfilled and happiest life. It can be nerve-wracking at times until we come to understand the journey. We will be forced to let go of our old programming so that the new can come in. Sometimes, in letting go of the old, “disaster” upon “disaster” will seem to descend on you for you to change your perception of yourself and the world. But, it never takes you over the brink even though you may feel that way at times. Then, when you let go of your old ways, the new comes rushing in with a blast.
Since, it’s our spiritual path, then we have to look to God for the Source of everything we want and need for he is in charge. We have to understand that God created the Universe including Nature and can create a miracle right on time to give us what is meant for us. We would have been taken back to times when things just happened to us miraculously for us to realize where God intervened on our behalf to give us what is meant for us. Bottom line is, since this is the spiritual path, then if we ask and follow God’s guidance, we will get what he has in store for us at the time he has planned for us, which is always the right time. Once we asked and followed God’s guidance, we just have to learn how to relax; to know that whatever arises is the best that we can handle at any that time; to erase all expectations and enjoy the moment; to have faith; and to be hopeful during uncertainties so that we can enjoy the journey of our spiritual path.
The potentials for like-soul(ed) connections are vast and do not require being in the same physical space and are much deeper and more fulfilling than like-minded connections.

Be cognizant of each other’s needs to “be at home” in any interdependent relationship.
Give them what they truly want from us for them to “be at home”. Consider this carefully as we sometimes tend to think that we are meeting someone else’s need to “be at home” in an interdependent relationship when we give them what we think they want because that’s what we want from them, when this may not be what they truly need from us.
On Spiritual Maturity:- When we can readily assess our emotions and move pass the limiting ones to be in a state of love rather than succumbing to them.
From my eBook: Self-Mastery/True Self-Empowerment by Joycelyn Marshall
If we want others to let us be our true selves and allow us to put ourselves first, we too need to allow others to be true to themselves and put themselves first. If we ask of something from another, we owe it to them to take the action that will put themselves first even if it means saying “no” to us. For it is they who are ultimately responsible for their actions regardless of the trigger. If their actions feel like a rejection to you then you’re taking it personally. Direct your love to yourself until you can become balanced again.

The best gift you can give to yourself and the world is a “happy, fulfilled you”. When you are at that state of being then you are at your most powerful to give to yourself and others with love and pureness.
