  • Are You Asking For Things And Then Telling The Universe ‘No Thanks!’? Part 1
    Do you ask for things and then tell the Universe ‘no thanks!’?

    Recently on the front page of yahoo! was this headline: “NYC cabbie returns bag of diamond rings” and instantly I thought ‘Did he just tell the Universe “No thanks!”?’

    The story read like this:

    NEW YORK - Never mind diamonds - a New York cabbie was a Texas girl’s best friend. The driver returned 31 diamond rings he found in his cab after dropping off the passenger, who had left him with a 30-cent tip on a...
  • Law Of Attraction And Running Your Own Race!
    I usually get my inspiration as I'm driving when I cannot write it down, and as I drove this morning this thought came to me: RUN YOUR OWN RACE!

    I remember reading a long time ago about how horses when they are racing don’t care about the other horses; they don’t look over to see what the next horse is doing. They are focused and they run their own race.

    I realized that a major reason why people are broke is because it's wayyyyy more fun…Yeah I said it...it's more fun. I mean really, when you have money you already know the outcome; the outcome is whatever you want it to be...really not much creative effort there.What can I create if I already know what I will get? It's like playing the lotto and knowing you will win…what's the fun in that?

    The fun in playing the lotto is not so much whether you win or lose but how you fe...
  • Why Haven’t I Created The Life I Want?
    One of the most amazing things about being human is that every dream or creation leads us to want to dream bigger, or to create a bigger dream than the ones we had before.

    One of the main reasons why your life looks the way it does right now is YOU WEREN'T SPECIFIC ENOUGH. Thought you'd never have to hear that again, right? And so we got a version of what we wanted, but it wasn’t the complete version. See, we spend a lot of time looking at what we don’t want, but very lit...
