we don't have what we need. It is the idea that we're missing
something. We need more of everything - you name it, we need it:
more time, money, energy, information, certainty, resources.
Without these, we tell ourselves, we can't do what we want to do.
This perception that there is something missing or we don't have
what we need to create what we want is the biggest source of
unhappiness and dissatisfaction in the world today. It is also the
greatest lie we tell ourselves. It causes us to dream about
"becoming" something big, to hold out for doing that one big thing
that is so big that we can't see a way to do it, let alone get
started.
We have fallen in love with the idea of becoming more than we are,
and that very belief keeps us stuck were we are. We are on an
endless search for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, all
the while not realizing that we are standing on the pot of gold.
Many people travel their entire lives on this journey, believing
they will find true happiness when they finally get somewhere when,
in fact, they are lost right where they are.
The reason people find themselves getting stuck is because they
don't think who they are is enough - enough to get that promotion,
enough to close that next big account, enough to be financially
independent. This causes us to resist the way things are for the
way we want them to be in the future.
Before you can create your future, you have to accept the way you
are right now. You have everything you need right now.
Here is an analogy:
People living in scarcity and struggle see the cup as half empty.
People who are positive thinkers see the cup as half full.
People who understand their true connection to Source Energy see
the cup as overflowing. But people who are living in the Flow and
in Alignment know they ARE the cup.
What's keeping you from seeing yourself as "The Cup"?
If you live under the illusion that you are "not enough" you will
never see yourself as the Cup. Instead you will see yourself as a
crack or a fault in the Cup. Sure we are all flawed in some ways,
but this idea that there is something inherently wrong with us is
absurd. How did we come to this conclusion? Who is holding the
measuring tape? Usually some authority figure, organization or
religion that is trying to control us by attacking our self-worth.
It is important to understand the distinction between
self-improvement and self-worth. At its very core self-improvement
says that we are broken and we need to be fixed. It comes from
striving to be something or someone other than who you are.
Self-worth is knowing that you already have everything you need and
that you are the person you've been waiting for. There is nothing
to reach. There is only BEING and LIVING who you are.
You are worthy because you are one with All That Is. You don't
need "self-improvement" because you cannot improve who you are -
your Authentic Self.
The goal in life is not to BECOME who you are, but to ACCEPT that who
you are is enough. Said another way, if where you are today isn't
good enough, then nothing you can do or achieve will ever be good
enough. You can't be fixed because you are not broken.
Let's go back to the metaphor of the acorn and the oak tree again.
The acorn is complete, but it still it is not an oak tree. It
contains the BLUEPRINT of the oak tree and by realizing its
CAPACITY to be an oak tree on a day-to-day bases, it grows into the
fullness of that inherent blueprint. We are like the acorn and
each of us has the ability to embrace the perfect blueprint of our
greatness.
The ONLY way you can eliminate the feeling that you are "not
enough" is to declare RIGHT NOW that you have the CAPACITY for
greatness and that you are enough just the way you are and then
start to live that on a daily basis.
What is important to remember is we are the Cup. It's a Cup that
naturally expands to make room for us to expand.
Living a dream lifestyle gives richness to life; you live with
excitement, passion, a sense of purpose and a feeling that life is
a miraculous gift. You get a spring in your walk, a smile on your
face and your energy levels are high. And there is that special
something that people feel when they are around you. Welcome to the
good life!
Living a dream lifestyle affects all areas of your life. Your
health gets better by far. Automatically. Your relationships get
far better, automatically. Your finances improve, automatically.
Even if you have problems, they don't swallow you up, you live on,
and rarely pay attention to the doom-side of things. You know what
I mean? Not much ruins your day.
The opposite, not living your dream, not living your passions,
makes life seem like a struggle, a daily grind, a curse, even.
So how do you win the game of life and live your dream lifestyle?
You do so by setting certain specific things in order. And as with
all things, you go first, always. You have to set three things
about you in order first.
1. Get clear on what your dream lifestyle looks like by
understanding what your top 5 passions are. A passion is not a
goal, it is a way of life. Without clarity, you will get lost. You
need something to aim for, and a vision of how it looks like when
you get there. (Did you know that most people would struggle to
tell you with certainty what their top 5 passions are?)
2, Figure out what your strengths and weaknesses are. Do not bother
fix your weaknesses. Don't. I will show you what to do with them.
Focus only on your strengths. That is where you freedom lies. (Did
you know that most people would struggle to tell you with certainty
what their mental, emotional, spiritual and physical strengths are?)
3. Understand your wealth profile, where you fit in the game of
life, and what networks and support you need. There are only 9
possible roles that exist, and we all belong to one of the 9. For
example, maybe you are a creator (a maker of content, e.g. a
writer, painter or cake maker or chef), or a mechanist (a maker of
systems, processes, tools, etc). And we all need each other. The
trick is to know where you fall, so you know who else you need. And
more. How to arrange them, attract them, and how to release the
value found in your strengths and multiply it, leverage it.
Next, you need to understand the fundamentals of life, how life
works. If you don't, you will end up wasting much energy, getting
frustrated, using the wrong approaches, and generally get nowhere,
which is what most people do on this planet. So here are the
fundamentals, in a very small nutshell...
4. Plan the dive, then dive the plan. You need to make a plan, not
just any plan, but a life plan. And there is a right way to do
this. Yes, I know, life does not always work as planned. But you
still need a plan.
5. Understand the Law of Attraction and how to apply it. Most
people know it intuitively, some consciously even, but they do not
know how to apply it correctly (and this also explains the prayers
that never get answered). If they did know how to apply it
correctly, worrying would automatically stop to exist in their
system. Worrying is an indication that you do not know how to apply
the law of attraction properly.
6. To gain certainty, understand the science behind creation. Faith
is good. But certainty is better. Understand how our world comes
into being, how quantum physics works, and you will suddenly move
from hope and faith to certainty. And that, my friend, is like
adding twin-turbos to your manifestation vehicle.
7. Information is the key. Faith is running through the dark,
sometimes in an unknown forest, head first. You will get to the
other side, but you are likely to hit a few trees and bears along
the way. Certainty is turning on the lights. Information = lights.
Save time (and your ass). Get informed.
8. Apply the 80/20 rule to everything. It will prevent you from
wasting most of your efforts.
9. Gain financial intelligence. Without it, your efforts will be
scattered in the wind every week. With it, your efforts will go
towards growing a garden that will forever feed you even when you
stop working. You see, you have to know how to arrange your affairs
so that, over time, you progressively move from having to work for
money, and onto having money work for you. Most people never take
this step! And they are doomed to forever have to exchange their
time for currency. Imagine having currency come to you with you
having to exchange your time for it.
And now, you are a whole lot closer to beginning to live the
dream...
10. Understand very well how to use these tools and you will never
get stuck: projects, tasks and strategic next actions. This is a
science and art-form that is known by very few, yet it is so easy
to learn. Paralysis will forever never, ever bother you again.
11. Connect your strengths to your wealth profile to create
abundance in all areas of your life.
12. Get help! Learn how to outsource, delegate and cooperate. This
way, you will be free to do only what you love and are strong at,
you will have other people do what you are weak at, and you will
actually move forward much, much faster and far, far more
rewardingly, financially and otherwise.
That is it in a very, very tiny nutshell. If you are looking for a
top quality set of instructions that shows in detail, exactly
how to carry out each of these steps and much more, we have
arranged for one for you over here:
