Losing My Religion

We all own a very special key. It is the key that unlocks all that we are and all that we could ever want and dream of wanting. Access to this key is so simple, yet we make it so hard. This key is always there, waiting for us to use it to unlock our treasure chest and to release the power within it. We all want so badly to be the winner of the "big" lottery, but little do we know we already are the winner. We think winning the lottery will give us the power to do what we want with our lives.

This energy in turn orchestrates the universe to reflect back into our lives that ultimately leads us to fulfill our purpose. We must believe that all of life's experiences, situations, and relationships are there to take us on a great journey.
