If you have followed my blog for a while you may know that I adopted a little habit from Ali Brown and brought it in to the 21st Century.
I think it was Jim Rohn (and probably others) that said we become the 5% of people around us so Ali B feeling that she didn’t have direct role models in her 5% started listening to Tony Robbins cassettes borrowed from the library on a walkman on her commute to work on the subway. (Apols Ali if it wasn’t exactly like this as it has been a couple years ago since I read it).
I tweaked this by picking motivational information from my YouTube app on my iPhone. I picked one the other day which was a montage of motivational speakers but one thing funnily enough by Jim Rohn hit the sweet spot.
I like when I read books by people I admire that appear to have their shit together on the positive thinking, Law of Attraction gig admit that they have doubts, bad days, times they don’t have their shit together but not in a sadistic in reassuring way. It reassures me when I am having trouble remembering that the Universe is supporting 24/7 that it happens to the best of us.
So what was that sweet spot?
I am going through one of those times that I am having to work really hard to hold the faith and kick out the doubt and even asked myself the question perhaps I should stop pursuing a particular avenue and Jim said “Promise yourself you will read the books UNTIL your skills change, you will keep listening UNTIL it makes sense, piece by piece, word by word, bit by bit you’ll keep going for it UNTIL, never give up UNTIL however long that is. Resolve that you will pay the price UNTIL you learn, change, grow,become”
“UNTIL” my new favourite word.
With every passing second we have a new opportunity to start again. If what you are doing isn’t getting the results you want flip it, switch it, go round again UNTIL.
I blogged the first video several months ago when I accidentally clicked on it and it was the first thing that came to mind yesterday morning when I learnt the outcome of the Conor McGregor fight.
Love or hate MMA, love or hate Conor McGregor but you can’t dispute he believed in and used The Law of Attraction and Visualization to the max.
During Saturday on the run up to the fight my partner and I were discussing it and my partner wasn’t so sure about the outcome where I had no doubt Conor would win because I had seen the video above and tried to explain to my partner in Conor’s mind he has already fought the fight and it is a done deal, even down to the details.
During Sunday my partner spent all day playing programs and saying things like “Did you here that?” and playing back snippets where Conor was recorded in 2008 stating his intentions or just prior to the fight predicting how and when he was going to defeat his opponent.
Eventually I had to play him the video above and say “See this is why I knew Conor would win”.
It was my intention to blog about the fight at my first opportunity to evidence the power of The Law of Attraction however one of the sites I follow on Facebook has beaten me to it “Educate Inspire Change” has posted the link below but I have also attached the video they have in their link of Conor being interviewed after the fight.
I try to live an ‘Inspired Life’ and to be the spiritual being I truly am as often as I can in the way Wayne Dyer describes being spiritual.
Wayne says to live an inspired life any thought that excludes another person or thing is not a spiritual thought and our work is to constantly watch our thoughts and any thought that does not match that practice change it.
Watch yourself and catch yourself when you have a thought of seperation
An area I need to work on are Blanket statements, they irritate me and therefore the people that make them.
Recently I heard a TV presenter say that all women want to go to lunch with George Clooney and all men want to be George Clooney. No disrespect George I think you are lovely and a very interesting person to spend time with but sorry I do not like being rustled up like a sheep into a blanket statement.
Then I probably end up telling the person on the TV off for making such a generalisation and reminding them that they can’t make that judgement on behalf of everyone even though they can’t hear me.
See I said I needed to work on this area.
Actually when I think about it I would rather spend a lunch date with Ben Whishaw. I don’t know what it is about Ben but whenever I see him acting something genuine exudes from him that makes me think you are a nice interesting person with a gentle quality.
The same thing happened to me many moons ago with Liam Neeson when he played a character called “Blacky” in a TV adaptation of “A Women of Substance” long before he became to the prominant position he is in today and my mum, bless her tells people I had a crush on him long before anyone else.
Crush maybe but what is it that draws us towards some people and dislike others? And what is it that makes someones George Clooney and someone else’s Ben Whishaw?
In other words what energy is matching up here?
The older I get I see the things I am attracted to and what attracts me to them has always been different to most people I have come in to direct physical contact with that’s why I always felt like the girl on the right.
Another thing age has given me the luxury of is …….. I don’t care !!
I embrace my personality traits others might find annoying because I believe these were my God given talents and gifts agreed upon before I came in to the physical and I am not going to deny what was given to me by the Infinite Intelligence.
I am blessed with some incredible friends and there must be something about the energy they and I resonate that brought us together and stay together.
Birds of a feather flock together
It’s easy to be spiritual about people we flock to. The test of spirituality is to embrace everyone.
We maybe resonating on different vibrational levels but our spiritual source is from the exact same origin
My job now is to catch myself separating myself from blankets and embrace them. Sounds cosy.
After visiting the Wayne Dyer Tribute in London last week I watched a video in my hotel room (now, now, naughty !! ) by Mike Dooley and in the video Mike explained how we need to let the Universe take care of the details and outcomes of something we want and gave a scenario of someone wanting a certain type of relationship and while they were on one continent there ideal mate was in Italy and if they knew this they may start to panic and think how will the delicious Bruno and I ever meet but that’s not our business.
Mike went to on explaining how the Universe may orchestrate Bruno and X meet and he said but no matter if Bruno never got on the plane to attend the event that they were destined to meet at because then the Universe will lineup Marco and another suitable mate and another and another until X finally meets their ideal mate.
On the radio tonight I heard the DJ say ‘It’s amazing the power of the Interent” and explained how the artist that we had just listened to uploaded 1 video to YouTube and someone from a recording company heard them and contacted them and offered them a recording contract.
Was it the power of the Internet? Or the power of the Universe orchestrating details to fulfil someone’s wish to be a recording artist.
Remember we are literally radio masts broadcasting messages at all times.
Decide what it is you want and let go and let the Universe live stream it to you.
I became aware of my first ‘self-help’ book in the 90’s when a mother I used to walk with to take our kids to school gave me a copy of “Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway” by Susan Jeffers.
We’d been talking about how our Ex’s were jerks and never wanted to see their kids or support them but actually I was relieved that mine lived a long, long, long way away now as our relationship was a lot more complicated than just that.
Not knowing at that point that our thoughts attract things I was blown away that, that evening I received a call from him and not in a good way. That’s why the friend offered me the book as she thought it may help me with my situation.
This book really did help me in so many ways and I recently bought an E version just to revisit why it had such a profound effect on me. From that book I read another and another because which ever book I was reading introduced me to another author and I was addicted.
However things didn’t change all that much in some areas and if they did, not for long until something clicked in me in 2010.
Now, I had been reading about the Law of Attraction in some gauze or another for over a decade but it wasn’t until I read a book in 2010 that the light bulb went on.
Recently I started to write a book and in it I mentioned that I heard that the teacher arrives when the student is ready and the very next day I heard Wayne Dyer say exactly the same thing in a YouTube interview I was listening to between Wayne and Tony Robbins.
That was certainly the case with Feel the Fear and shortly after reading that book I became aware of Louise Hay (A Goddess in my eyes). At the time I didn’t drive, there was no Amazon or eBooks and I used to either have to go to my local book store and order books or hop on a bus and travel the 11 miles (to the town I now work in and drive to every day) to find and purchase my next big fix.
I owe it all to Louise that I can now actually drive as it was visualising using the techniques in one of Louise’s books (with a seriously pulled quad muscle the night before my driving test) that I laid on the bed, closed my eyes and saw myself perform all the moves perfectly and indeed passed first time despite my muscle going in to a massive spasm as I tried to reverse around a corner.
The bingo moment in 2010 was when I read ‘The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne and what I realised was that the majority of the time I would read a book, think I had it all sussed and then go back to my normal day and get back in to my normal thought processes that I had manufactured inadvertently over many years and then nothing changed and it all looked bad again and I’d read another book and so the Merry Go Round continued.
What ‘The Secret’ had taught me that I hadn’t managed to gather from all the other amazing authors I had read previously were saying but I wasn’t ready to hear was “Repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition ….” I think you are getting what I got.
I would read a book and move on. Move on to another or move on with normal life but I wouldn’t put any effort or ‘put any skin in’ to actually putting what I had learn’t in to practice.
I love the old adage “Nothing Changes if nothing Changes” and I was certainly that person. Now I am not perfect but I put a lot more skin in these days than I did before and so much in my life has changed. Most importantly I am nearly always happy and optimistic these days and if I am not I find and use a ‘tool’ to remind me that ‘I’ and the Universe are unlimited, all giving and abundant.
Last night I sat in my favourite restaurant with some of my favourite people, eating astounding food and feeling extortionately grateful when somehow a conversation cropped up between the other three about what a mess the world is in. I sat silent, 1) knowing that at the moment they are not in a place to hear me if I said how I feel and 2) I know otherwise. The world is what we focus on and we need to focus on what we ‘Do’ want and not what we don’t want and we have to repeat, repeat, repeat focusing on it.
Flux is a state of change. Like a cell or body dividing and growing, or aging and dying. Always moving, always changing. The most interesting Flux of all is the Vacuum Flux! It is also known as the Quantum Vacuum Fluctuation.
When you are looking for an electron for example, you have to “renormalize” the data you have collected in order to see the electron. This is because when you look deep into matter, at some point all you can see is an infinite field of seemingly chaotic energy. Once you “renormalize” the data however, you can then observe the tiny tiny bit of energy that is the electron. But hold on, just a minute here, what exactly was the infinite field of energy we had to “renormalize”? Well my friends that infinite field of energy is the vacuum flux. It is the space between! Like the Dave Matthews Song…
Today on Social Media I saw an article about there being a New Moon and partial eclipse on the 13th of September 2015 and what times it was going to happen around the world. The article read of how this was going to instigate a huge change in the world and I did set an alarm in my phone to ensure I woke up to see it. But not because I was hoping for it to instigate a change in my life but just because I would like to witness something if possible because I know we can change any moment we choose as many times as we choose.
I won’t take credit for having this feeling because it has only come in to my understanding from the many books I have read and audio’s and videos I have watched and listened to but prior to that change used to terrify me and now I embrace it as one of the certainties in life.
If you story doesn’t work for you Divorce it
Said during a Oprah Masterclass with Tony Robbins
I always hold Louise Hay and Colonel Sanders stories in the forefront of my mind so when I saw this photo above, the other day on social media I instantly saved it.
I have read numerous times that Colonel Sanders idea of his Southern Fried Chicken was rejected over a thousand times before he was accepted (and I am sure that he would have kept going another thousand if his idea wasn’t picked up then) but it stuck with me on the first read and only helped to reaffirm to me on every other read ‘Don’t ever give up’ on your dreams, goals etc.
A few other successful people who we probably just see as successful and not realise that it wasn’t that easy are Walt Disney, turned down 302 times before receiving financing. J K Rowling a single mum turned down by 12 publishing houses and the other day during a Training session when asked what year did ‘Gone with the Wind’ win its Oscar my colleagues looked surprised when I instantly walked to the correct year without hesitation and before anyone in the room even moved because I knew from all the material I keep reading it was dismissed by 38 publishers before taken up.
So if you think you are stuck or you life sucks or you haven’t achieved something you wanted to achieve or you are to old think of Louise or the Colonel. Don’t wait for an Eclipse. Do it now. Do it in your next breath and if you don’t like your story – Divorce it because as Esther/Abraham Hicks says –
“You can never get it wrong and you can never get it done”
