Happiness

A magical dose of beauty and wonder

I don’t know about you, but I can get totally immersed in the “doing” of  life (even stressed sometimes), spending hours at the computer dealing with a deluge of information or with pesky administrative issues. (The actual coaching and training is usually magical though).
Or I feel sad or worried for loved ones’ plight or for [...]

Your work should be profitable and meaningful; you should succeed by being yourself; and doing so shouldn’t feel lonely and hard. That’s what I’m here to help you do.

Hello there. My name is Helene Desruisseaux (“Desrusso”), and I’m a bridge between business and spirit. By spirit, I mean both Your spirit, who you really are, and Spirit, your source of inspiration and strength, whatever that is for you.
My work helps you:

Make sure your work is compatible with your true nature; your life purpose, [...]

The purpose of our life according to the Dalai Lama

Some of us look long and hard for our life purpose, feeling something is missing in our work as well as our life overall.
I obviously believe in the power of finding our purpose since I do that kind of work in several ways.
In this video, you’ll hear the Dalai Lama’s belief about the purpose of [...]

A really fun video that will inspire you to be yourself

I just saw a video that pulled my heart strings because it spoke to two of my top values:

My love of animals
The fact that we need to be who we are rather than try to mold ourselves into what we “should” be, and that’s for our own happiness and because we’ll be much more successful [...]

What if life just sucks?

That’s what life transition coach Paula Harvey and I talked about in a recent teleseminar. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it?
Actually, it was! Let’s be realistic, sometimes life is difficult and we really feel beaten down, or we have people in our life who are going through a bad time and find it hard to believe in [...]

Why would I care about my life purpose if I can’t pay my bills?

In my last post, I talked about why finding your life purpose matters not only for your happiness, but also for your ability to succeed. Shortly after I wrote it, I got a call from a client whose son’s life is in shambles. A day later, I was talking with a friend and fellow coach [...]

The value of friendships

That is top of mind for me because one of my best friends is coming to visit in a few hours, and I know we’ll have a blast.
What is it about friendships that is so great?
Great conversations; an easy sense of belonging without having to try so hard; mutual self-discovery after many years; being liked [...]

What am I doing here?

How often do you ask yourself that question? If you’re like most people on the planet including me, not often enough.
Most of us get carried away with our schedules, our action plans, our to-do lists. You can even get carried away by your intentions if you haven’t re-visited them lately.
How can that be; isn’t setting [...]

Gratitude as a selfish act

I was just reading a recent issue of the Finer Minds newsletter entitled: “3 Reasons Why Gratitude Needs to Be Part of Your Daily Routine.”
Now you and I know that we “should” be grateful, that it’s an evolved, spiritual thing to do. We also experienced how good it feels.
In my experience, lots of us haven’t [...]

Entropy and what that means to your life

Entropy is a law of thermodynamic physics and I’ll spare you its formula and exact scientific definition.
A “lay person’s” definition, according to “thefreedictionary.com” is:
“The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity”, or “The inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society”
Ok, so…how is that relevant [...]
