I make it a habit now when ever I Am commuting or walking around the supermarket, running errands etc to plug-in and hook up with motivational material using my iPhone and Youtube app.
It’s all a bit random trusting that the Universe is guiding me to what I need to listen to. Yesterday it was the link below. I decided to listen to it again today when I had an opportunity to take notes but the last bit of material struck a chord at the time and struck me again when I heard Matthew McConaughey’s Oscar Speech that personally, blew me away.
As I said previously I personally was struck by the content of the speech but I Am also aware that it has attracted a lot of media attention, both positive and negative. If you haven’t caught it I have attached the best version I could find despite poor quality and lip-sinking issues all the content it there.

I liked the fact that he thanked God for gracing his life with opportunities that he knew were not of his or any other human hand and proudly stating that it is a scientific fact that Gratitude reciprocates. The acknowledgement to his mothers amazing gift of self-respect and that his hero is himself in 10 years time which echoes the T D Jakes quote above.
This statement may go over the cynics heads and may have gone over mine 10 years ago but I so get this now and I AM definitely a calmer, happier, stronger, far less fearful person than I was 4 years ago let alone 10 thanks to reading “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne and numerous books on “The Law of Attraction” and “Quantum Physics”.
In 2014 I have made it a continual habit to say what I AM grateful for before I open my eyes, as I close my eyes and as often as I remember throughout the day and I thank the Universe for the opportunities that will arrive despite whatever my life looks like now as I practice the habit of ‘Faith’ not ‘Fear’ and I continually find things to grow the better version of me and eradicate negative thought patterns that I have created subconsciously that hinder my ability to manifest the life as I desire it and affect the ability to respect myself so whatever the opinion I raise my glass to you Mr McConaughey and everyone else who chooses to aspire to a Higher and Higher version of themselves or serve others to do the same.
