41 ½ hours after her second group mastermind meeting, a health practitioner emailed me this : “Thanks to Masterminding and the power of positive thinking, my Friday turned from no treatments scheduled to 5 clients”
“I’ve also had 4 new clients schedule appointments… all 4 scheduled in the past 2 days…so close to our Masterminding session that even Doubting Thomas couldn’t fail to see the connection. My deepest gratitude for your commitment to getting this message out, Virginia.”
Her wish is her command. So is yours.
Sounds great, but how can you do it?
Masterminding is so powerful that it’s easy to believe on a very deep level you can receive what you choose – and you manifest what you believe.
Manifesting is like gardening. The first step is to prepare the soil so the garden of your thoughts bears fruit, not dandelions.
Everything is given according to your belief.
You may have heard the expression, if you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won’t, you assuredly won’t.
Many immigrants came to America believing this is the land of opportunity. With little to start with, they created thriving businesses and success. They decided on a direction, believed they could succeed, took action and reaped the rewards. In spite of hardships, grieving the loss of loved ones, often arriving with little more than what they wore and being strangers in a strange land, their belief and determination allowed them to triumph.
Sherri Geng, a Chinese immigrant and finalist in the 2005 Intel Science Talent Search, wrote this in a BusinessWeek article:
“It is hard not to notice the disproportionate number of immigrant success stories in America. All across the world, America is considered the land of opportunity, and so it should not be surprising that the immigrants who do get here end up being uncommonly successful: They are the ones who fought the hardest, stared down the most competition, were driven by the fiercest pangs of hunger.”
Has your life been difficult?
You learned from your challenges as others did from theirs. Those who survived a tsunami learned to go to higher ground. One woman who didn’t make it, for example, picked up her children at school. She tried to return home through a valley instead of immediately heading to higher and safe ground.
You survived circumstances in your life and are reading this. That makes you a survivor and consciously awake to improving yourself. Congratulations!
We’ll skip the judging part where you think you should be doing more, should have more, should be more. I invite you to stop “shoulding” on yourself and pause to drink in that you’re good enough as is right now.
Breathe. Relax. Ahhhh.
Count Your Blessings
Now consider your choices. You can focus on your hardships and licking your wounds or you can use the precious lessons you learned as stepping stones to a better life.
Maybe your life is awesome in some ways but really sucks in others. So, revel in what’s working and know you allowed your wonderful creation into existence.
Be confident that if you like anything in your life, even if it’s teensy weensy, you can translate this goodness to create more.
If you can’t find anything, look again. It’s unquestionably there.
If actor Michael J. Fox, who was at the top of his game, can be grateful for having Parkinson’s disease because of the authenticity it brought him, what can you be grateful for?
A positive attitude synchronizes you with a frequency of energy necessary to manifest.
How can you align with energy that produces fruit instead of dandelions?
Writing a daily gratitude list is a simple way to focus on your blessings. It tills and fertilizes your soil of thoughts and feelings so you create a bountiful harvest.
Don’t want to bother writing? You can think about these, but after a couple of days you may forget and slip back into focusing on what you don’t want and like. Plus, when you write about what’s working, your thoughts and feelings shift.
If you’re serious about creating more business, money or anything else, take the time to write what you’re grateful for. When you refocus and allow your heart to have fun and open, miracles happen.
For 30 days, write five or more things you’re grateful for in a journal.
Experiment and demonstrate the results to yourself. If you like what you see, make it a habit to continue. Made your list before? You can write new ones.
By doing so, you’ll change the negative story that the irritating voice in your head has been mouthing off about. By doing so, you alter your perspective and open to receive greater good.
Life is always poised to bring you what you choose or something better. Be willing to receive miracles.
You’ve prepared the soil for seeds of success to manifest by:
- Weeding out stinkin’ thinkin’ so you can have healin’ feelins’.
- Fertilizing with a positive attitude of belief and gratitude.
Part 2 will offer you tools to plant the seeds, mastermind and reap your harvest.
