A great trick to getting what you want, fast, Nick, though one requiring a deep level of understanding, is “insistence.”

Not the kind, however, that expects “life” to behave a certain way, but the kind that expects you to behave a certain way.

Don't cling to a mistake just because you invested a lot of time and money on it. It’s okay to start all over again. It’s okay to be scared. It’s okay to abandon the things you used to love. Starting over does not equal failure. It’s a chance to build something better this time.

When something has stopped serving you, it’s okay to let it go serve someone else. You can’t keep what’s not yours, and you can’t hold on to something that doesn’t want to stay. In the process of letting go, you will lose many things from the past, but you will find yourself.

How many people does it take to make a hundred million bucks, Nick?

None. Nada. Zippo.

I do it for them.

Today’s Mantra
I AM grateful.

If you hold a vision for your life and water it every day with creativity, persistence, and faith you will live it.

I so love mornings. All of earth’s energies are zipping, zapping and crackling in alignment. The stars have been tucked in bed. The nightingales begin dreaming their dreams. And the sugar plum fairies try hard not to be seen.

But best of all, Nick, I love mornings because it’s when the “Giants” return to earth — stretching, yawning, squinting and rolling — remembering without quite remembering, sometimes for just the flickering of a second, that all is right in the world and that their greatness has never needed to be proven.

2.12.21

Today’s Mantra
I AM welcoming this new day.
Everything is aligning for my
highest good, growth & expansion.

To be in love with Life is to be in touch with our spiritual essence. It is to see beauty and loveliness wherever we go. It is to see the glow of divinity in all those around us. The beautiful thing is that you can change anything about yourself. You can recreate, rewrite, and redesign your whole life.

Whoohoo! Nick, the script for the most amazing time in your life is nearing perfection! We’re so excited and happy for you. Bravo. Bravo. Bravo.

It’s complete with friends and laughter, wealth and abundance, health and harmony. And best of all, there are going to be some really neat surprises. BIG surprises! Really HUGE, Texas style.

And you’re gonna say, “B-bu... but... I... I... I... H-Ho... How? Never in all my life have I imagined such outrageousness! All my expectations have been exceeded! Never have I dreamed of being so blessed!” And we’re gonna say, “Oh, yes you did.”

And you’re gonna say, “Oh, no I didn’t.”

And we’ll say, “Did.”

And you’ll say, “Didn’t.”

And then we’ll remind you of those occasions when you simply saw yourself happy. Visualizing euphoric happiness, bypassing the details. Smiling from ear to ear in your mind’s eye, pumping your fist, dialing your friends’ cell-phone numbers with shaking fingers, happy tears running down your face, when you left all of the “hows” to the Universe.

And you’re gonna say, “Oh.”

And we’re gonna say, through tears of our own, “Nice hows, huh?”

The sole objective of trading is not to prove you’re right, but to hear the cash register ring.

Test everything. Don't assume something works or doesn’t work just because someone says so.

Today’s Mantra
I AM Unlimited. Any limiting thoughts and/or
beliefs I have placed upon myself or
picked up from others are effortlessly dissolving.
Anything is Possible!

Always, Nick, it’s the one with a certain and definite dream, who boldly steps into the uncertain and indefinite, who goes the farthest and throws the best after-parties.

Changing one’s life is easy, Nick, and there are lots of ways to go about it, though all exact some sort of price:

Pinpointing invisible, limiting, self-sabotaging beliefs — Extremely demanding on brain cells and much easier to do if you have a friend who channels the dead, but either way, it’ll keep you busy for the rest of your life.

Discovering what occurrences in the past have misprogrammed you — A therapist can help, though expensive if you don’t have insurance, but you can both pretend you’re a complex person and that if it wasn’t for your childhood, you’d have the perfect life.

Distinguishing between those who really love you and those who just wish to use you — Super tricky, and may destroy perfectly good relationships, but with a good a lawyer you can laugh all the way to the bank while accepting little or no responsibility for your own happiness.

These are just a few of the most popular and widely written-about methods. Of course, you could also just begin imagining and moving toward the life of your dreams, treating everyone with kindness, and assuming all is well — profoundly and radically effective for both short and long-term gains, but totally lacking in drama, requires solo efforts, and is much too easy for most people to take seriously.
— Oh well, The Universe

You have to treat yourself like you matter because if you don't then you don't take care of yourself & you become vengeful & cruel & you take it out on people around you & you are not a positive force. None of that is good...you suffer more & so does everyone else around you

If you focus your attention on the things you want less of, you will receive more of those things. However, the good news is that if you focus your attention on what you want more of, you will also receive more of those things.

You know, Nick, possessing fabulous wealth creates a lot of responsibilities. Enormous responsibilities. HUGE.
Something to think about.
Really. Like, for 5 minutes a day in a dark and quiet room, see yourself being really, really responsible with fabulous wealth.
