The first thing I want to tell you is, wherever you are today, right now, is not where you have to be next week or next month or next year.

It’s like owning a gorgeous brand-new Ferrari. You sit in it knowing that it could take you on a wonderful journey but when you start the engine and rev it up, it doesn’t move. You take it to the garage and the engineer informs you that it’s been badly programmed.

You are that Ferrari. You have all the potential, beauty and power to go on any journey and yet you are struggling to move because of faulty programming. It’s time to reprogram you, baby.

Where you are now is not where you can be in a week, month or year.

After all, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

It’s All About the Vibes

Before Ben and Jerry made tubs of delicious, ridiculously high-calorie ice cream came the thought of building an ice cream empire. Everything that is now in the physical world started off as a thought, a daydream or a desire.

If you can see it in your mind, then you have the power to make it a reality.

The seed is the potential of a big tomato – it is the ‘idea’ behind the tomato. With good faith, we know that, if we plant that seed, water it and give it sun … boom, a tomato will appear! We don’t doubt that the seed will turn into a tomato. We have a belief that it will grow, even if we have never asked ourselves what actually causes it to grow. Well, that incredible force of power is the formless energy and the intelligence behind life, referred to as many different things in different hoods – the Source, God, Mother Nature, the Motherload, Allah, the Goddess or the Life Force.

The first step to manifesting is to decide what you really want.

The second step is to decide that it’s done, which means having complete faith in the Law of Attraction.

Understand this: pain is physical, but suffering is mental, and that even in the worst times of our lives, we always have a choice to think differently. Being positive isn’t mumbo-jumbo – we really can choose to see every situation through a different lens, one with a solution.

I know that my dreams and desires rely on me staying high-vibe and I have turned achieving this into an art form. And I want you to make this an art, too.

The majority of people are on the Ego setting and my job is to help you flip the switch

to the Soul setting. At this level, you begin to realize that you are connected to the Universal Intelligence and you have the power to manifest. When your Soul switch is flicked on, instead of going through life with fear, you begin to recognize that you have unbounded potential and life is full of limitless possibilities. Your Soul, if you like, is the divine part of you that is connected with the Universe. It’s there to look after you spiritually and emotionally, and often communicates without words. While the Ego voice is strong and authoritative in your mind, the voice of your Soul ‘speaks’ more softly and quietly. It may often communicate in subtle ways at first but can also become persistent or nagging. When you are connected to this divine part of you, everything seems to make sense and there is a feeling of inner knowledge. Soul sees life only through the lens of love and is proudly opting to go through life with a spangly pair of rose-tinted glasses But whether you totally buy into it or not, in essence, the big message here is that, when we feel good, we can make so much more happen in our lives. When we choose to stop seeing life through a negative lens, we open up a world of possibility.

Think It, Get It

A significant part of the Law of Attraction is understanding that where you place your focus and energy has a massive impact on what happens to you.

If you got in a car and started driving aimlessly around with no destination in mind, you would waste fuel and get frustrated.

Don’t think it, ink it

Make a decision. Think about what you truly want and then write it down. Written goals are way more potent than those that just float around in the ether. They become concrete and physical.

It’s as simple as that. You need to know you can and will do it. There is no room for doubt when it comes to seriously engaging the Universe.

Unfortunately, sitting on your booty scoffing Oreos and watching Game of Thrones won’t get you to your goals, but a clear plan of action for scaling your business, losing weight or meeting Mr or Ms Right will.

Goals that are stated in the future create a mental gap for the brain called structural tension. When you state things in the present, this bridges the gap and allows you to believe it’s possible. And believing it’s possible is precisely the energy you need for manifesting.

So, write your goals down as if they have already happened:

Let me be clear here: if you look at the list of goals you have written and you don’t believe it’s possible, then you are missing a vital ingredient in ticking off your goal list one by one. In the words of the late great George Michael, ‘You gotta have faith, faith, faith’.

Sometimes, faith needs to be your downpayment on your future.

All you have to do is decide, set an intention, and have a plan, as well as keep faith and have belief.

Trust that, when things don’t seem to go your way, there is a reason that is beyond your understanding.

There is always a time and a place to channel your inner Elsa and just ‘Let It Go’.

Instead of comparing yourself with others, simply compare yourself with previous versions of yourself.

In order to move forward courageously in life, you need to figure out what thoughts have been holding you back.

When you can peel back the layers, you will find someone truly spectacular who really believes in themselves – someone unique, who has talents and a big fat purpose on this planet.

Your past identity, which has brought you to where you are today, does not and will not be the identity that takes you to the new phase of your rock star life.

Henry Ford so wisely said: ‘The man who thinks he can and the man who thinks he can’t are both right’. So which camp are you in?

All situations are emotionally neutral. We can decide how we feel about any given situation.

Our thoughts become things.

‘What you imagine, you create,’ said the Buddha.

Once you have crafted your ‘mind movie’ of your new chosen identity, you need to spend 15 minutes a day visualizing this.

Remember, true happiness comes when you can be thankful for an experience, whether it’s positive or negative, and forgiveness is an important part of this thankfulness. In order for you to move forward, you must let go of all the pain in the past.

Sometimes, we just take life too seriously and become so attached to the final outcome that we forget to enjoy the journey.

If you don’t celebrate yourself, then who will?

Dance like nobody is watching!

The ‘I could never …’ game keeps us in a place of staying small and away from living our true potential.

if you change the way that you explain the things that happen to you, then your de facto position can shift from pessimistic to optimistic.

Be aware of what you let into your space: the words around you are shaping your own dialogue.

Whether we like it or not, everything that happens in our lives is a result of a choice we made in the past.

The more you give, the more you will receive, because the Universe will always reciprocate your giving. In your willingness to give that which you seek, you will keep the abundance of the Universe circulating in your life. And the best part is, even a thought or simple prayer of giving has the power to transform. This shifts your mindset from scarcity to abundance.

Where karma is what you do to get to the end goal (all your choices that get you to that goal), dharma is your purpose – it is the end goal.

Elizabeth Gilbert’s book Big Magic. If you haven’t read or listened to that book, then you must.

Starting the day by announcing that you are thankful for having an absolutely amazing day will set you off on the right foot. I call this ‘marinating your day’.

When you announce to the Universe how your day should work out, it paves the way for it to turn out just how you desire.

If something is worth having, then it is worth having the patience it takes to get there.

Some people call this good luck; I call it the Universe majorly having your back.

The truth is, with anything new, there is the unknown, but, as we have discussed before,

stepping into the unknown and having faith that the Universe will have your back is what will take you closer to your desires.

Trees don’t try to grow, they just grow. Birds don’t try to fly, they fly. Fish don’t try to swim, they just swim. It’s in their nature. And I’m here to drum it into you that it is human nature to make our dreams manifest into physical form, easily and effortlessly. I like to call this miracle making.

Whatever it is that your heart yearns for, it is already yours for the taking if you tune in to the frequency of the Universe and move gracefully towards that which you want following a plan that you can put your focus on.

And remember this, nobody is an overnight success.

Success is not the last stop on the journey. Success is the person you become as a result of the journey you take. Who you become as a result of stepping up and unapologetically being the best version of you is where the magic lies.

Let the power of your mind and the power of the Universe create your ideal life. Trust that you have all you need inside your incredible imagination to forge a life beyond your wildest expectations. Make a commitment to move past your limiting beliefs, ninja-kick your way through your fears and put yourself in the driver’s seat. Stop giving a fuck about the little things in life that simply don’t matter. Save your fucks for magical shit.

And if someone says you can’t do what you want, do it twice and take a selfie.

GRASPER’S STORY

One day, when Grasper’s shell fell off, all the other crabs told him he would start hearing voices and to ignore them until his new shell appeared. They wanted Grasper to stay put. Grasper was curious and ventured out from behind his rock despite what his family and friends had told him.

As he ventured out, he came across the biggest crab he had ever seen. He asked the big crab how he had got so big. The big crab said the same thing would happen to him if he allowed himself to give up the small life he knew and learned to grow. The giant crab explained that a crab grows only as large as the world he lives in and as big as the heart inside him. If Grasper was going to be the biggest crab, he would need to widen his horizons. Grasper faced a big choice: to return to his ‘safe’ little home by the rocks or to step into the biggest version of himself.

The lesson of course is that, if we humans want to become the biggest version of ourselves, we need to make a choice to either stay in the familiar or to let go of our older selves, together with our bullshit stories and small-mindedness, to broaden our horizons.
