I realized something. I’ve been living half way. I’ve been
living in limbo. I’ve been so self-obsessed and self-absorbed with what is
going on in my own little life, I missed things; I didn’t see them. Now, my
eyes are opened, and now, because of a very special promise that I made to a
very special someone, it’s time to stay awake. It’s time to live life at a
higher standard. It’s time to stop justifying my own short comings, and go “all
in”. It’s time to stop wasting time.
And Here is Where We
Begin
When you look back on your life, as you reach the end of it,
do you think that you will have accomplished everything you were meant to, or
will you fall short? Why are you still stuck in your dead end job? Why are you
still living for the weekend? Why are you failing in your relationships? Why
are you stuck in a rut? The answer is simple: Because you choose to. It’s time
to get out of it. It’s time to look at the end, and start at the beginning. And
it’s time to do it today.
#ProjectManifest
Project Manifest is a simple concept. Decide what you want,
write it down and watch the Universe conspire to bring it to you. I had a list.
I checked it twice. And now it’s gone. I scrapped it. And I scrapped it,
because it wasn’t the highest and best version of itself that it could have or
should have been. So now, here’s the new list:
- I am manifesting happiness, through showing gratitude.
- I am manifesting a successful home remodel, to encourage a successful sale so that I can buy the home I have always wanted.
- I am manifesting having three New York Times best sellers by this time next year, by committing to writing 10 pages of each book per day, and using my literary connections as leverage.
- I am manifesting earning $100,000 in passive income through blogging, monetizing my YouTube videos and affiliate marketing by this time next year.
- I am manifesting one radio interview, one television interview and one speaking engagement, empowering women with money by this time next year as a result of blogs, books and personal promotion.
- I am manifesting the power to be a millionaire by the time I am 40-years-old by surrounding myself with successful people and learning from them.
- I am manifesting love, by showing love.
- I am manifesting enrichment, by living to a higher standard.
- I am manifesting the right people to come into my life at the right time, by never accepting less than what I deserve.
- I am manifesting the power to reach down into the darkness and bring as many people into the light as what want to join me, by being a better example, by raising my standards of myself.
The Path to Greatness
Right now, my financial life is great. My personal life
sucks. But I think that, for me, my path to greatness is to focus my time and
attention on enriching my life. My hope is that by becoming the financial
success that I know I can become, I will bring with me the power to enrich my
personal life as well. Because I finally learned how to be vulnerable. I
finally learned a lesson I should have learned long ago: I need to appreciate
and show love to everyone, but I need to spend my attention and time on a few.
In order to live a complete life, I got some really good advice from someone I
love and trust. He said, “Surround yourself with people who believe in you,
people you can learn from, good people, but be kind to everyone in the process.
Show gratitude and appreciation every day, and when you do, the change in you
will be so bright, you will radiate so much love, that the right people won’t
be able to help but want to join you.”
Launched
So there. There is the launch of project complete. And you’d
better believe I have a list, and a spreadsheet and a master plan. I’m not
quite ready to disclose the full spectrum of the master plan, but you will see
some nuggets of it pop up as I document the progress of each project. Of
course, as with anything I do, it’s with methodical intent, and you’ll see that
in the upcoming weeks as well.
Final Thought
However, I want to leave you with one thought: You can’t
live life in limbo. You can’t live life half way in and half way out. You have
to decide what you want out of life before you die, and then, you have to
pursue it relentlessly. You have to go “all in”. And thanks to these projects,
I’m am. I’m “all in”.
I Challenge You…
Now, my challenge to you is a simple one: Show gratitude. Make
your own list and tell the people on it what they mean to you and why, every
day. Make a list of things you want to see manifest in your life, and have a
clear plan of action on how you can make that a reality. And finally, give
more. Give as much as you can and give until it hurts. Play to your strengths,
work on your weaknesses and dare to jump. Because if you live with one foot on
the ledge, like I have, it will torture your soul to a point of no return.
Because, eventually, someone will push you off of that ledge, and you will fall
into an abyss of sadness from which you may never recover. I know this, I’ve
been there. But I realized that if there is any hope to claw my way back, it
has to be on a higher path, on the right one, and that path means doing more,
being more and being better than the person I was yesterday.
I Also Challenge You…
Part of project complete, the hardest one for me, was
listing my numerous faults, and forcing myself to look at them…really look at
them. And make an all in commitment to changing them.
Stop living a half-life. It’s time to live a complete one,
and it’s time to stop wasting time. If you would like to join me on this
journey, please message me, leave me a comment or send me an email. I’ll go all
in with you, if you do the same for me. #pinkypromise
And what would any of
my blogs be, without an accompanying song? This one seemed appropriate.
