Wouldn’t most of us love to do something different than what we are currently doing? It seems that so many of us have a hidden dream that we just don’t believe is possible for us to achieve – or at least make any money doing.
Well, Caroline and I are set out to change that, if one man or woman can do it, then another man or woman can do it!
Meet Adrian, we recently got a letter from his wonderful wife Juliette regarding Adrian’s new found love in life…
“My husband purchased one of your “I create my reality” T-shirts at TheosoFEST in Wheaton, IL, this past September. I thought you might be interested in the reality he created for himself not long after he started wearing the shirt. It had been his desire for quite some time to work in wind farming. After purchasing his T-shirt, he went to Reno and got his climbing certification. Then he went to the Kennedy Ranch in Texas and did his first job on their wind farm!”
At the end of the day, a catalyst is all Adrian needed to start the chain reaction of events that led up to being, doing, and having what he wanted. Possible is only what you tell yourself it is. Look through your home and you’ll see possible in so many places that were once thought to be impossible.
A quick hint to moving closer to your dream. Focus on small steps, that will create both belief and momentum, and the journey is so much fun anyway you wouldn’t want to miss that.
Also, focus on ONE thing. Imagine 3 perfect seeds, planted in fertile soil, with plenty of sunshine. If you don’t give each seed the water it needs none of them will ever germinate. Put your attention and energy on one chief aim, and accomplish that, then plant another seed.
Lately I’ve been thinking about what I want. I love to devour information and a recent course I took was very specific on what it is in life we all really want. That’s right each and every single one of us want only one thing…
I looked at my list and I saw the typical items
Sports Car
Beach House
Exotic Vacations
Then with each item I asked why. Why do I want a Sports Car?
So that I can feel my heart soar while accelerating.
So I can experience the thrill of turning tight corners.
So I can be exhilarated during the driving experience.
Looking at the sentance I saw emotions peppered in; exhilarated, feel my heart soar, thrill….hmm
Next one – Beach house.
Feel comfortable in my home
Experience the amazing sunsets
Smell the fresh ocean air
Looking closely, I noticed that all of these too gave me a feeling…hmm.
In fact each and everything I wanted ultimately boiled down to giving me a good feelings. Call them excitement, exhilaration, joy, bliss, whatever you want.
Knowing what I know about how the Universe operates I realized that in order to create experiences that feel good, I need to be in that state now…to attract it. So I have made a commitment to myself to feel good in as many moments as possible. I want to attract more things that feel great to me and the only way to do that is to feel great now!
I have reminders set throughout the day to stop and feel gratitude. In only a few short weeks I realized that this is way more powerful than I originally thought. By giving all my attention to what’s working, what’s pleasing, what’s funny, what’s delicious, what’s thoughtful, what’s inspiring, what’s whatever I wish. The Universe goes nuts to bring me different experiences that will MATCH that feeling of gratitude.
Remember when you were little and your parents gave you a present you really really wanted? Well that feeling you felt, if you can practice feeling that often, will bring you something else to be wildly grateful for daily…It’s magical
“If you get a job you love, you never have to work again…”
Saying that my sister and I are lucky to be in this business is an understatement. We continuously brush up against amazing people that blow our minds with their passion for life. To work in the personal development space is one in which people are open to change, and that change is always in the interest of making theirs and others lives better. It is our privilege to share what a successful Life Coach named Diana Fletcher said when she received a shirt as a gift. Check her out here at www.dianafletcher.com for more great info on this amazing woman making a difference.
“I received a shirt that says I Change Lives for my birthday and it was one of my favorite gifts! As a Life Coach, I encourage people to follow their passion and live truly happy, healthy lives–this shirt totally fits with my work! I love the reminder when I look in the mirror that I am doing important work. Plus, it has a little butterfly on the back shoulder, which makes me smile. Good Work!”
Something that almost all of the people I ever come in contact with want is success. And for most that means something very simple.
1. Having a rewarding job that you love.
2. Having enough money such that you never have to think about it.
3. Having wonderful relationships with family and friends
4. Having your health
If you can check these off your list, then you are doing phenomenal! But as the title says, having these come true for many is not commonplace. Why?
I believe it has to do with the incorrect application of Be Do Have. What this means is in order to Have something you must first Be something. Most of us get stuck in the Do part of the formula and never take the time to Be, which ironically is the most important part.
This information is not new, in fact the wisest people have talked about this for centuries. That, your thoughts are the basis for your life experience, and in order to have what you want, you must focus your attention on it almost to the exclusion of anything else.
Do you know what you want to Be?
Answering this question will move you one step closer to the having part listed above. It’s simply a choice or not to Do whatever it takes such that the image of what you want to Be comes true. Here’s some great news, when you are in tune with what you really want to Be, there will be SO many modes of assistance that the Universe provides to help you get there.
In this living breathing organism called life, growth and expansion are two of the guiding principles. So it is in the benefit of Nature to help you along your way. People, circumstances, and events will work in your favor. Things that you never foresaw will come into your life and give you a boost. Trust me on this one…
But, you have to give something too, you have to commit your time, dedicate your energy and do the necessary steps to move you to realizing your goals. So chose what you absolutely love to do such that putting in the time and effort seems wonderful. Nobody became successful doing something that made them miserable, in fact that a fast paced ticket to mediocity.
Instead, take the time, ask yourself;
1. What you love out of life?
2. How can you contribute?
3. What unique talents do you have?
4. If you could lead a tribe, what would your mission be?
Success is about living a life that you can look back on and ask yourself
“How much joy did I feel?”
So start today, reach out to someone who can help, start with what you know, and begin a journey through life that you will never regret.
It all began with a t-shirt, Alissa was determined to ‘Attract Amazing People.’ To put this affirmation thing to the test she applied focus and belief, and was able to create an amazing experience in a foreign country surrounded by people that fully exceeded her expectations.
After enjoying her time overseas with her new, incredible friends, Alissa felt it was time to enter the next stage of her life and really see if the use of affirmations could bring something much bigger…and they did! Watch the video above to hear more!
