This Week's Activation...

This ONE magic word changed everything

Read time: 6.5 minutes

The magic word

Why do some people do great in life…

…while so many do not.

Is it possible that life somehow favors some people?

That you - or others have “bad luck” or were dealt a “bad hand”.

Maybe. But I doubt it.

I wanted to know how some people seem to magically get what they want…

…while others seemed to stay stuck.

Intelligent people that get man-handled by their lives (myself included in the past).

Book smarts never cut it.

A degree, or even reading my emails won’t cut it.

They may give you information, but if information was the secret we’d all be rich, free, and healthy.

What we need is a simple way to know how to get what we want out of life.

Back in the 1900’s that simple solution was shared.

A man named Earl Nightingale shouted it from the rooftops…

…and that solution is one magic word:

Attitude.

Wherever you find a person doing a great job and getting outstanding results...

...you’ve found someone with a damn good attitude.

What is attitude?

It is the composite of our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

​

Attitude is a vicious cycle.

Thoughts feed feelings. Feelings lead to action. Action is followed by more thought.

It becomes a damn near unstoppable force:

• When applied positively - it turns us into a magnet of miracles.
• When applied negatively - it turns us into a helpless disaster.

The #1 indicator of the quality of our lives is our attitude.

Our environment is a mirror of our attitude…

…if we don’t like the reflection we must change our attitude.

Today we are diving into how to create an unbreakable positive attitude.

An attitude that will help you create more peace, and prosperity in your life… almost overnight.

The all mighty mental adjustment

It makes no difference how your attitude has been in the past.

All that matters is how is it right now.

The present moment is eternal, and the future is untouched.

Now that you know better - your attitude is no longer a reactive state.

It’s your choice.

Your quality of life in all circumstances, shapes, and forms, is your choice.

Earl shared about an interview done with a highly successful man with a rough backstory.

He was asked “When did you become successful?”

He responded “When I was still sleeping on the park bench.”

Before life can deliver us the goodies like time, money, and lifestyle freedom…

…we must first prepare ourselves.

• Before metal can be cast into a desired shape, the mold must be created.
• Before a building can be built, a foundation must laid.
• Before a garden produces veggies, dirt is prepared and seeds are planted.

Before you can achieve a life you want, you must first become that kind of individual…

…walking, talking, and acting like the person who would have your dream life.

The only problem?

Life is going to test you.

• You will have hard experiences.
• You’re going to get pissed off sometimes.
• You won’t always feel like it.

So you need a plan for those times.

What do you do when you have a shitty attitude?

Adjust it.

Like a light switch on the wall - gratitude activates the light - and pushes out the darkness.

Gratitude can be used to activate the attitude you need to create the best life possible.

The majority of people - even those that live in harmony and service to others - are kept stuck by their lack of gratitude.

By not being grateful for what they have, who they are, and how they live - they keep getting more of the same.

Why?

The feeling of gratitude is abundance.

The closer we can live and operate to abundance, the more abundance we will create and receive.

If I could summarize abundance it would be this:

Imagine making more money, working fewer hours, and finally having the space to think clearly, move intentionally, and actually enjoy the life you’re building.

That’s what I’ve been helping myself, and my clients do…

…and gratitude is an often underrated tool in our toolkit.

When we have an attitude of gratitude - we become a walking magnet to miracles.

Let’s talk about how to do this.

How to use gratitude for greatness

I believe gratitude needs to be apart of your daily habits.

Ideally in the morning, and at night - when your mind is the most open and receptive.

It’s also a fail safe for when:

• The day isn’t going how you wanted.
• You are feeling upset or beat up.
• Stress is taking the wheel.

Bam! Gratitude saves the day.

Here’s how I would go about it:

1st - Write down 3+ things you are grateful for.

Don’t make this an intellectual exercise…

…as in don’t “think” about what you are grateful for.

Feel it.

• What is lighting your heart on fire?
• What (or who) could you not live without?
• How cool is it to be alive?

You get the idea.

2nd - Send love to people and things that suck.

What situations or people in your life right now suck?

• The Asshole that cut you off in traffic yesterday?
• Your family going through the latest round of drama?
• The -$20 balance in your checking account?

Send all of the above some love.

Imagine you are soaking them in positive energy…

…whether they like it or not. (haha this was weird to write but made me lol).

You will shift the energy of the people and situation instantly - and things will begin to turn around.

3rd - Sit in silence for a few minutes and ask for support.

Connect to spirit and ask for what you need.

• Guidance?
• Clarity?
• Resources?
• Inspiration?

Ask and you will receive… quickly.

When you combine these 3 steps, it is like doing a magic trick.

You stepped into a new emotional state - now you’re vibrating high and feeling good.

You shifted your energy and perspective towards outside events - now you’re not reacting, but responding.

You received a little nudge and ‘hello’ from the universe - now you feel empowered and reminded that you aren’t alone.

Life’s good again…

…because your attitude is.

I challenge you to try it daily for 30 days, and let me know how it goes.

Hope this was helpful :)

If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen

Life has often felt like a pressure cooker.

My childhood created an addiction to chaos that I haven’t broken.

That is why I:

• Enjoy taking risks.
• Seek challenges.
• Have purpose.

But, sometimes I get frustrated with myself and life.

It can be a lot - and cost me peace of mind.

This week however I’ve been feeling a renewed sense of appreciation for it all.

Would I actually want to be doing anything else?

No.

I love this shit.

Regardless of how scary and stressful it can be - I will come out on top.

If you can’t take the heat, get the f’k out of the kitchen.

✅ My Win: 5am club.

Last week I broke through and have been back on my early schedule.

I also have some of my clients challenging themselves to do the same.

“Early birds get the worm”

❌ My Challenge: Test of faith.

If you’ve ever worked your ass off for something - and had it not go to plan, you’ll resonate with this.

For over two years I’ve worked to bring this dream and business to life.

I held myself back, got in my own way, and put it off more times than I can count.

But now, I’ve been going at it 100%.

It’s been harder, and scarier than planned.

When you have every reason to give up - but don’t - that’s where the magic is.

I can, I will, I must.

What I am working on

In my personal life: Overcoming pride.

Sometimes I can be a know it all.

It's fun when I am learning and sharing what I know.

Less fun when I get stuck and can't seem to find my way out of it.

Recently I learned: When stuck, become a beginner.

Set aside pride, previous knowledge, and the feeling of "I'm above this" - and go find answers like a total beginner.

Then apply what you learn - and problem solved.

Pride has held myself, and countless others back more often than not.

In my professional life: Sharpening my skillset.

I've been loving my studies lately - and applying what I learn.

In the last 2 weeks I've finished 3 books - and solved many problems in my biz (and life) because of them.

That reminds me...

...I even taught a bit of my learnings in my recent workshop.

If you'd to get more done in 1 hour than you used to in 8, grab the free replay here.

In my financial life: Money consciousness.

It's all a mind game.

​

You can't have a prosperous life with a poor mindset.

My work right now is to stay in an abundant energy, and continue to show up.

The money and relief is already here, now.

Curious how your week is?

See you next week and as always...

Rooting for you 💪
