The thoughts you think today are creating your future so think intentionally not by default
So just for today what if you started focusing intentionally your thoughts on that dream you are capable of achieving but instead of calling it a dream reframe it and call it a goal.
And then start to notice any serendipitous moments that occur or inspired action you feel compelled to take and take it (or at least note it down until you are in a position to take it)
My morning motivation from Youtube this morning was Wayne Dyer.
This quote really struck me when I first read it. In which book, I am not sure as I have read so many Wayne Dyer books but I do or know I was sat on a Coach on my way back from London after spending a whole day walking around Tate Britain.
Many say to Manifest something see your self already having it (otherwise you are just living in the lack of it) Visualise living that life and I tell myself I am rubbish at visualising but her I am Visualising that memory.
Zig Ziglar says motivation is like bathing. You have to do it daily.
Here’s proof as it was several years ago I read this quote but I completely forgot about it but it is a perfect reference to how I am choosing to live my life now and instigated in me to see that I can visualise.
I just need to daily visualise a future I choose to live in not regurgitate a past
I can’t even remember the last time I posted on my blog ….. but that’s ok. I am acknowledging that, that is all part of the Experiment I am running on myself at the moment.
Several weeks ago I was feeling complete overwhelm over a circumstance. More so than I had done for a very long time but acknowledged that there was always some sense of anxiety in my gut recently and I was fed up of living like this.
Since Manifesting my own business last year there were certain pressures I believed were all part and parcel of being an entrepreneur. The uncertainty of clients, income, business development etc and my Personal Development had all become Business Personal Development.
Intense, Hustle, hustle, hustle. Hard work and lots of effort if you want to crush it. You can only be a success if you deprive yourself of Fun time for X amount of years.
If you spend time on Social Media then your are a loser and how do you expect your business to build but then saying you need to spend so much time on this type of Social Media and do this on Social Media or how do you expect your business to build but be aware of the algorithm changes or you might go to jail !!!!!!!!
Is your head hurting just reading this?
Thankfully that little Voice in my head (that we all have) said “Tomorrow have an LGLG day. Nothing major is going to happen if you let yourself have 24 Hours not focusing on the issue and just go with the flow and do what you enjoy.
Well something did happen. A Miracle !!
(Yet again) An effortless series of events happened and everything fell into place and the situation was sorted in less that 24 hours in fact.
At the same time a series of Materials came into my awareness that all connected together and keep on coming to me and one of the Sources came to me via MindValley.
I was made aware of the book “The Surrender Experiment” by Michael A. Singer and instinctively knew I had to read it and I couldn’t stop. I was addicted to it. It wasn’t what I was expecting but it showed me how everything can fall in to place when we remove our resistance and go with the flow. The book (for me) started out with the author just needing to get away from the negative chatter in his head and I thought ‘this sounds like the book for me’
As I mentioned several other materials came into my awareness and virtually all had the same message that suggests Meditation and Allowing.
Over the weekend my partner had subconsciously said a couple things that have stung but I remembered a quote that really stuck with me from the film with Oprah Winfrey in “A Wrinkle in Time” – “Find the Right Frequency and Have Faith” so now when anything causes a negative reaction or the Negative Monkey chatter starts I remind myself to let go and have Faith which I did when these remarks happened which were generally about their lack of Faith because what I am focusing on in their eyes hasn’t arrived “Like, Yesterday”
They are still in the “I will believe it when I see it mode” where I am in the “I will see it when I believe it” mode which incidentally is the title of the Wayne Dyer book that I got the phrase “Let Go and Let God” from.
So it was so funny that I picked this YouTube video above for my Morning Motivation whilst dressing that shows just what can happen when one person believes and the other person doesn’t. It was just what I needed to hear.
And again there is a lot of Material in this video that aligns with the Experiment I am practicing on myself at the moment.
Remember “There Are No Accidents” and have a Let Go Day. After you have Meditated of Course. Because when you Meditate and Align All Things Are Possible
“Do not wait. The time will never be ‘just right’. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.” Napoleon Hill
I agree and disagree to a certain extent. Procrastination is the thief of time they say and that is so true so the time is just right. “This red hot minute” is ‘Just Right’ because it is Monday and it is the start of a New Month.
I have had several such tools show up for me in recent days in the shape of just the right books and YouTube video’s and I am embarking on October with a new philosophy and I am trying out my own type of Buckminster Fuller experiment on myself and I am excited to see where it takes me.
Just look at what these formidable people achieved without the resources we have at our finger tips. We are so lucky and most of the time we don’t even stop to appreciate it. No excuses !!! Slay October starting today xxx
“We can start over. Every day. We get second chances to become who we always wanted to be. We can leave our past behind or we can learn from it and honour it. We can decide it is never to late to change”
I nicked the above from an episode of Greys Anatomy ages ago and wrote it in my daily Journal with list of daily affirmations I read as well as my “Definiteness of Persistent Purpose” statement made after reading Napoleon Hills “Think & Grow Rich” and important life goals
Talking of goals. I set goals at the end of a month ready for a new month and mine got slightly off track (for a good reason) and I was hungry to get back on track to resume my DMO.
This weekend I have been watching incredible Lives and seeing lots of amazing photos from the Canada Convention of the Company I am an Independent Representative for From the awesome people I am connected to who are there physically or in spirit as they have won awards, given speeches and/or featured in the magazine and they have shared lots of exciting news.
One Live in particular made me think scrap the old DMO and start again. Start a fresh DMO like I am a newbie. Set new goals because there are lots of new things coming in this Company so it is a fresh start and like Meredith says “Everyday we get a second chance” it doesn’t have to be a Sunday, or Monday, a new year or a new month. It can be right this hot minute ….. so here I go. Buckle up baby because it is Day 1
When I read Sir Richards Bransons book “Screw it Lets Do it” I quickly saw that he and people like him, Bill Gates for example didn’t have all the answers when they embarked on something but that didn’t stop them. They new they could get the answers and learn a long the way.
My story is I used to be in Management. Several different Management Roles and I loved learning new material. I loved growing and being a better version of me to help support people to be the best that they could be but when I left the last Role I could not face Leading any more.
Not because of the people I Led. They were awesome and some of you maybe reading this and I am not just blowing smoke for that reason. I am honoured to have you as Friends (there is always something positive that comes out of a negative situation). 💕
There were several reasons I left but it was usually wrapped up in a lack of integrity on someones part, unprofessionalism, deceitfulness, lack of empathy, even cruelty.
I used to ask myself “What was wrong with me? Why couldn’t I find a Job I was happy in? 🙄
Were my expectations to high, are my standards to high, unrealistic, to picky” etc etc. 🤔
I always tried to dumb down, lower my standards, settle, accept the situation “That’s just how life is” and I always thought it was something was wrong with me. 🙁
I was always like the loyal dog you kicked and came back because I was scared. Scared of how I was going to pay my bills etc.
But eventually I could not suppress those feelings in my gut and the Universe conspired to get me out.
Somewhere a long the way I adopted a standard that if someone asked me a question and I didn’t know the answer I would tell them, if I didn’t know I would find out the answer and get back to them or ask someone else or point them in the direction of support.
I always told Trainees/Inductees questions are good. We only know what we know and the only way to know more is ask however I was in a role where it was advised to me not to admit if I didn’t know something as that would cause my Team not to have confidence and Faith in me and they wouldn’t be able to respect me.
This went against everything I felt to be right for me because to pretend to know something I didn’t know would be lying and honesty is the most important quality to me.
But like the loyal dog I did try to act that way and I felt sick to my stomach and found it difficult to look my Team in the eye.
Another thing that made me sick to the stomach (same role) was when I went into that Role I had become a bit gobby and would speak honestly in 121 situations etc and point out when I felt it said one thing on the tin but in reality it wasn’t quite like that (to say the least) one such situation “Equality” I loved the quote about treating the Janitor and the CEO equally but I was warned when I went into the Role by a peer myself and my Team maybe treated as lesser mortals by certain members of staff and unfortunately this was the case so I pointed it out and was given lip service so I kept pointing it out because I felt it was wrong to see people treated disrespectfully and eventually I was told that myself and my Team (and I even hate using the terminology Team because we were/are all equal in my eyes) would have to accept that we would have to be a “little” subservient in our position.
It was so hard looking my colleagues in the Face being told this information and I couldn’t/shouldn’t share it with them and that was the day I lost all respect for that Line Manager and I was just going through the motions from that moment on and I felt guilty because I felt I should always earn a salary for a good job done.
Thankfully I wasn’t wrong to be true to my beliefs, its OK to have High standards and good honest morals and I am now my own business owner, my own boss but at the same time I have an incredible network of people who I can call on at any time, who only want the best for me and build me up and constantly tell us ALL that are connected to the company not to be afraid to ask questions. Yay !!! 🙂🙂🙂
For months I have been utilising the resources, watching and listening to the Trainings video’s to be able to be the most knowledgeable, best support system I can to anyone who approaches me for information about being Their own Boss and running Their own business and then it struck me. I was watching the videos etc but I didn’t appreciate the effect that comment of not admitting you don’t know something had on me.
It was paralysing me from actually putting myself out there to truly be able to help people because that is all I want to do. Help people be the best they can be and live the life they desire and I know now the opportunity to do that is possible through this incredible business.
Because of this amazing network of people I am ready to help people be Their own Boss and build Their own businesses NOW because “It Is OK” to ask questions again, so if I don’t know I know I can get them the information or support they need and point them towards the right resources.

I believe if you work on yourself with and your passion even as a side hustle that will eventually replace your job and you will eventually be earning a full time income #doingwhatyoulove and #lovingwhatyoudo
I hope you, who ever you are reading this just takes the step in some shape or form to follow your passion and work the rest out on your journey and remember you are never alone.
A Big shout out to the all the people that stepped out of their comfort zones and told themselves they were worth a different life.
As the quote says “You can spend your life building your dream or your can spend your life building someone else’s”
Tony Robins says Success Leaves Clues and today more than ever those clues are so accessible via the internet etc.
You can watch that YouTube tutorial, start that online course, listen to that audio book while you commute etc. Or as Tim Ferris suggests email that person you admire and ask them questions.
There is never a perfect time so why not start today and this time next year who knows where you will be.
Like Lao Tzu says “The Journey of a Thousand miles starts with one step” Take that step today and look for those clues 🙂
