Our realities are make-believe—whatever we make ourselves believe, we experience.
whatever it is, ask for what you want.
Ask with specificity, clarity, and gratitude and ye shall receive.
You are everything that brings you joy, lights you up, turns you on, holds your attention, fills your heart, cracks you up, makes you weep, calms you down, enlists your talents, inspires you to grow. . . . It’s all right there, inside yourself, everything you need to know about how to be the perfect expression of you. Trust your own gut, your own feelings, your own joy, above all else.
Change what you can change, accept what you cannot change, and every time you find yourself about to start stewing on something scary, irritating, or worrisome (practice staying aware of when this is happening, please), say to yourself, “I choose to forget this,” and move on.
NOW = Never Over Whelmed
Overwhelm is a mindset; it’s the choice to focus on everything all at once and stress yourself out.
Spend time with people who remind you—and who show you—that anything is possible.
You can’t take care of anything or anyone if you don’t take care of yourself.
Pay close attention to the things and people and experiences that light you up, and involve yourself in those things.
Be on the lookout for intuitive “hits”—ideas that suddenly pop in, feelings about a person or a situation that just come to you, hunches, warnings, goose bumps, etc.—and practice following through on those instead of brushing them off.
Fear not the judgment of others; fear living a life in which you keep your wild, wonderful, weirdo self in a cage.
The following is the most direct route to changing your life that I have to offer: Visualize whatever new situation you are excited and totally not screwing around about creating for yourself. See it, feel it, own it, be it, shout it from the mountaintop, keep this energy strong. Then . . . Do something that will advance you toward this new reality that scares the holy heck out of you or that makes you extremely uncomfortable or that pushes you beyond what you once pretended your limits were. Repeat this drill every single day and your life will change so quickly you won’t know what hit you.

I am a _________ magnet. Fill in the blank with your noun of choice (money, man, woman, happiness, client, brilliant idea, free French fries, etc.). Say it all day long. Feel it. Believe it. Own it. Be it.
Meanwhile, success comes from being in the flow, not forcing it until something breaks.
If you’re feeling stuck or frustrated, go for a stroll, take a nap, shop online for shoes, stare at the sky and play with your lip. It’s not about giving up, it’s about recharging, reconnecting, and remembering that we live in a Universe riddled with miracles. Surrender attracts, desperation repels.
If you keep waiting for the right time, you’ll keep living the wrong life.
Choose something that relates to your goal that you’re currently struggling with or that has always tripped you up. A great way to get clear on what’s going on with you is to really listen to how you talk and what you say about your quest.
Chances are excellent that if you’re having trouble finding someone, your language and your beliefs about finding love aren’t in alignment with what you say you desire.
Spend today talking and thinking and journaling about your goal and write down any negative thoughts or beliefs that come up for you and then investigate the crap out of them.
Keep investigating your thought until it turns around—we are at the helm of how we perceive everything, so a turnaround is absolutely available if you keep peeling back the layers of your “reality.” Once you unearth the rickety foundation of the truth you’ve been settling for, come up with a new belief or saying to replace the old one with, such as, “I’m in a happy and committed relationship with my loyal and loving man and I’m so excited I can barely stop squirming,” and say it over and over until he walks into your life. Really truly do this exercise, please. It sounds so simple but it can

Notice five things that you love about yourself that you’ve never focused on before. The things you normally appreciate don’t count—the point is to stretch yourself to notice how special you are by looking beyond what you usually see. For example, along with being great at your job, having a stellar sense of humor, being a loyal friend, an awesome parent, etc., perhaps you’re extremely punctual and you have an excellent ear for harmony. Stretch yourself to notice how much wonderfulness you have to share with the world. Sit in a grateful stupor about what a lovable individual you are.
How would you behave if the person you respected most in the entire world were watching?
Have patience, faith, and gratitude, friend; patience, faith, and gratitude. It’s all on the way.
You are closer than you think.
