Action and Attraction

This was originally a note on Facebook, but it deserves to be posted on here too.

I've been doing a heck of a lot of courses this year. All of them have been about improving my current situation and lifestyle whether it's been financially, with relationships, confidence and inner power, health, you name it, I've likely done some work on it. One of the underlying principles of the courses is The Law of Attraction. In it's simple terms the Law of Attraction means that everything you have now has been attracted into your life by way of your thoughts (subconscious and conscious), feelings and emotions and actions. Everything in your life is a result of those three factors. In my personal experience, this has played out in my financial life, my relationships, the kinds of people I was attracting into my life, my health and my success.

When I first watched The Secret I was like 'sweet I just create a vision board and imagine I've already got it and it will magically appear'...Well somethings appear easier than others. They didn't appear because I was simply putting attention on them, they appeared quicker because I was already taking action towards them! These were simple things like trying a different kind of yoga and going skydiving, eating healthy. They were all things I wanted and because I was already focused on them and acting towards them they appeared very quickly.Now things that have taken a little more time have taken more time because when I first put it out there, those were the things I wanted, but I had no idea how to get them. With time, opportunities have come along or people have 'coincidentally...i think not' appeared in my life that have led me to get those things I wanted.

1st example. I was unemployed all year and towards the end of the summer I felt the urge to get a job so any opportunity that came along I acted on it. Then sure enough as I was thinking to myself "I think I'd like a job where I could get excited about helping people do something for themselves" I got a call for a job at the Chiropractic Clinic I'm working at now. I also knew I needed a place that would allow me to continue to attend the courses at my will...and guess what....this place did! Absolutely Perfect!

2nd. Hadn't played volleyball in months and was looking to get back into it so I put it on my vision board and 2 weeks later i got a call from a friend who needed an extra player for the season. Now I'm playing volleyball again.

3rd. I've been expanding my network of friends and connections for financial purposes in my life for approx 5 weeks and I have manifested at least 5 people who will directly be able to assist me with those ventures in the last 2 weeks! If I hadn't stopped and taken the time to talk to them and ACT on that I would have never known they were exactly who I needed!Now here's the catch, just because you have it doesn't mean you stop acting on it. You've got to keep the momentum going otherwise it all diappears,unless of course, that's what you want it to do.

This is the fun part. Finding the 'Mr or Mrs Right'. I'm no expert in this field by any means, but I know what has worked for me. I created a list of exactly what I'm looking for in a man and when I see it I appreciate it just so that the Universe knows it's on the right track. The men (of all ages) that I've been attracing into my life since writing that list are unbelievable. They are the men you thought never existed on the planet! Do I act on every one I come across....no. But when I find one that really sparks an interest....heck yes!!!! I don't care how friggin scared I am to go and talk to them, I take action do it anyway...then I attract a result and understand what it really is or isn't. They may not be Mr Right for the rest of my life, but I'll never know if I don't check it out, they may be Mr. Right Now. It's really about living in the moment, seeing an opportunity and exploring it. Whatever the result, it doesn't matter, at least you know what you're not missing.

The most common reasons for not doing things are fear, not wanting to, not feeling like it, being tired. None of these are physical barriers (well maybe the tired, but there's a difference between tired and lazy!) they are all mental barriers...barriers you can break through! At Enlightened Warrior Training Camp I learned some valuable principles. To act inspite of fear, to act inspite of my mood and to never give up. People think that's a lot of work to get what you want. Well it's not going to magically appear in your stocking this xmas without acting towards it. Without action there is no attraction.

All Your Relations

What an amazing weekend it was to be in the company of great friends and well, really....family. An entourage of amazing speakers graced the stage and passed along valueable information that no doubt willchange the way I have relationships forever.

Beginning the weekend off with Dr. Patrick Wanis we discovered our relationship blueprint, what kind of person we are based on the qualities and attributes we posses. An interesting revelation that reinforced what I have been trying to push aside all year. Other great speakers such as Barbara DeAngelis, Marianne Williamson, Helice Bridges and Marcia Martin really connected with my current situation. Marcia Martin was absolutely amazing! Her presentation really allowed me to give myself permission to be open and honest about asking what men want. At times it was like listening to one of my good friends...why I didn't take her advice is beyond me, but I'll certainly be asking her for more now!!!

What this weekend really showed me though was to open my heart and speak my truth no matter how hard or easy it may be. I'm very greatful I had the opportunity to realize this in the company of such supportive people. Without them I couldn't have done it.

Many people believe that these courses aren't in my best interest and that it's just a phase I'm going through. My response to that is, "Thank you for sharing, but I don't care what you think." I have been through enough in my life to know what is right for me and what is wrong. Every experience I have had has taught me something about myself, the patterns I am running and who I have grown into as a result. I have a deeper connection with myself as well as others in my life whether they realize it or not. I understand that my attitude of acceptance and gratitude has been seen as scary to some because it is so out of my previous rebelling warrior drive. To that I say, "Thank you Wizard camp for allowing me to tap into that part of me that sees the entire world as a beautiful place of love and light." I do realize that I need to tap into that Warrior mode right now, but it's been a blessing to go with the flow and take it day by day. And with that I leave you with one of my favourite messages. I get chills when I read it.

I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells,
I honor the place in youwhich is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace,
When you are in that place in you,and I am in that place in me,we are One.


Namaste

What is it I wanted to do again???

I keep coming back to the question of "What do I really want?" Well, what if I don't know what I really want? I mean there are things that I absolutely want, like financial freedom so I have the freedom to pick up and go on an adventure or purchase something without worrying if I have enough for it. Since reading Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and starting the courses with Peak Potentials I know that's what I truly want, but how bad? I've gone to 6 courses and 3 camps in the last 8 months and I haven't done more than put Google adSense on this page in the way of earning passive income. I haven't earned a cent yet with my page, due completely to my lack of willingness to learn how to do it effectively. I've looked into network marketing on numerous occasions and nothing really turns me on. Many people have told me "If you don't believe in it, or it doesn't resonate with you, don't even get into it." So then what?

I can say that I've been promoting the Millionaire Mind Intensive again this fall season and I've had more success with it not being free. (The mind works in crazy ways!) As of yet, I haven't closed anyone...WHAT'S THE DEAL?! I know it's something in my head, probably dealing with the fact that I don't have the financials to prove that it works, but I KNOW that it will work. I see it every time I divy up my paycheck. I SEE exactly how it works! And I spend enough time with people that use it and are absolute successes because of it!!!!

At work, we always have the Secret playing in the waiting room and I always think of that part where they say not to give up just because you aren't seeing results. The visual is of the seed just about to sprout out of the ground. I just continue to believe that those seeds that I planted are still germinating and that they will also sprout out of the ground at the right time. That task in itself proves that you need to be patient and determined to get where you want to be. And of course there is a part of me that just wants to be in the moment. Maybe that's the answer...maybe that's the principle that I'm not using. I've been setting my intentions and putting dates on them so that I am specific and the Universe cannot get confused, but I've been focusing on everything in between now and then and how it's going to work out rather than just enjoying now. As I'm writing that, my mind is saying, "Well that still doesn't justify promoting something you don't have results with and you have to think about the future and how everything will work out...you can't just make uninformed decisions." Well ya mind, you are right, thank-you, I want to make informed decisions, but I also want to be here now, not in my past, not in my future, in my present moment, now...as a Warrior, I create every moment of my life. How can I create a reality of financial freedom if I'm not in the moment? I have created this moment of epiphany through writing. I have created this moment of laughther through my epiphany which came from my writing. The Universe is on purpose, and I have just shared with you reading this, my process of realization of why I don't yet have what I want. The reality I have created has been created so that I can be right here right now. Snap and shift....now from this point forward I can create my reality in each moment so that it is in line with exactly what I want...verrrrrry interesting.... :D

Wow, I get it now! And with that have a great night! I'm going to create my reality!

From Ultimate Leadership Camp to Mastering My Mind

Right on the heels of Enlightened Warrior Training Camp I attended Ultimate Leadership Camp in Sanger, CA. Having done two camps previous to this one, I thought I knew what to expect, yet I still had this knot wrenched up in my stomach. Something in me knew I was in for some big lessons. The very first morning I had my first chance to really tap into my Warrior energy. I was scared almost to tears because my mind was telling me "What the hell are you doing here? Go home and leave now, this is not what you signed up for!" Well to be honest, I had no idea what I had signed up for to begin with!!!! But I had made a committment to myself and to the group that I would play at 100% and go through that finish line....and thank goodness I did. What an awesome week it turned out to be!!!

Yes there are people who are born with leadership qualities, but this course took those people and others who didn't even want to be leaders and turned us all into individuals who are ready, equipped and able to make big changes in this world. They created 100+ Ultimate Leaders and I'm very proud to say that I am one of them!

The greatests lesson that I learned while at camp was that people WANT to help me. People want you to succeed and are willing to help you in any way they can to ensure that happens. I also learned a lot about my communication skills, my temperment, my presnece and my ability to get into action and 'Get Shit Done'. For the past 8 months I have had all these great ideas, I've had the WHY, but was searching for the HOW. Well, the Universe provided me with the how in a big way. This camp was my completion tool, it gave me exactly what I needed to start and finish any task I take on, not to mention what to do along the way!

So with bruises and a serious cough, I left Sanger and headed home, only to fly out to Orlando 4 days later to Master My Mind! Well, I've got to be honest with you, I don't remember a whole lot about Master Your Mind because it all went in on a subconscious level. What did happen though was a nasty little thing called 'expectations' appeared again. My expectations at ULC were about the camp my expectations at MYM were about how much fun I was going to have reuniting with my friends. Well, needless to say, my expectations were met to a degree, but boy did I become aware of some nasty habbits and conditioning I've been holding onto for a while. I found myself 'avoiding' situations left and right so that I wouldn't have to ruin my weekend when in turn all it did was make it worse. So thank you Universe for providing me with exactly what I needed at exactly the right moment, what a blessing it was to see that behaviour in full force and watch how it unfolded and how easily it could have been resolved and can be resolved in the future! What I did take away from MYM was a definite sense of future success in the now. The processes we underwent really tuned me into exactly what I truly want to do at this point in my life as well as in the future! The Secret gives you a very superficial look at how the Laws of Attraction and Manifestation work, but these courses give you the tools to make it work in your life. Just a few weeks ago I created a vision board with the Peak Potentials logo on it. I knew I wanted to volunteer and maybe at somepoint work with them and after taking action towards that goal I was confirmed to volunteer at the Millionaire Mind Intensive in Detroit in a few weeks. Talk about attracting what you want!

If there is anything that I have learned over the last eight months it is that the mind is a very powerful tool. If you train it to work for you, you can change your life in radical ways. I am living proof, what you put out there, you get back (both good and bad) so be aware of what you are putting out there!

Peace, Love and Happiness my brothas and sistas!

Enlightened Warrior Training Camp

Been a while I know. I have been busy.

Since my last post I have taken on a position at a local Chiropractic Clinic as well as attended Enlightened Warrior Training Camp. The Universe is on purpose and it has shown me exactly what I need to see at exactly the right time, not to mention put me in the right places with the right people. I mean, what employer takes on someone who requires 20 days off in a matter of 3 months??? Thank you Universe! The cash in the pocket is much appreciated! Back on subject here...

What Warrior has done for me is opened my mind and my heart to what I am truly capable of. It has shown me exactly where I give up, where I get bored and the environments in which I either thrive or merely survive. It has allowed me to honestly and truly say what I mean and mean what I say. The exercises that we went through that week have allowed me to grow spiritually, emotionally and mentally beyond comprehension. There truly are no words to describe my experience at Enlightened Warrior Training Camp. A group of 200+ people showed up not having a freakin' clue what they were going to be in for, and scared shit less. Everyone of us left strong, loving, and forever changed people.

I met people there that know me better than my best friends know me because of the experiences we shared. I now have a network of people who will call me on my bullshit and help and support me to make it through to the other side. And I am 100% committed to doing the same for them if they ask for it. You talk about pioneers and soldiers moulding and saving man kind...well anyone who has attended an Enlightened Warrior Training Camp will tell you the journey doesn't begin out there....it begins within. Until you can face your own demons, fears, doubts and stories with love and acceptance there is little chance that you can do that for others and be as successful.

This camp should just be a required part of living life...like taxes...instead of paying for taxes why not make people attend Warrior camp.... just a thought :)

AHO! I honour YOUR truth, whatever that may be...
