Can’t Find a Dream Job? Create Your Own

I was once unemployed, and I know the debilitating depression and the feelings of frustration and helplessness that can come with that. I’ve been stuck in a job I hate, and I felt imprisoned, trapped doing work that bored me while following orders of others and helping them achieve their goals.

Those times were … less than ideal. In fact, those were some of the worst periods in the story of my life.

Luckily I rose above those traps, but I have to admit it wasn’t easy. The solution has been one of the most liberating, empowering, joyous things in my life.

I wanted to share that little secret with those of you who are having a hard time finding a job, or who feel trapped in a job you hate:

Create your own dream job. Don’t wait for someone to hand it to you. Don’t hope that you’ll win the lottery. Don’t give up and consign yourself to a fate of misery and (worse) dullness.

Create your job! It might sound far-fetched for some of you (while others have already done it) but it’s very possible. Not easy, mind you: it takes hard work and smarts and passion and a crap-ton of learning and a willingness to take risks and make mistakes. If that sounds like you, read on. If not, stop reading.

You might already know this but if you haven’t given it much thought, start to consider: what do you truly love doing? What are you passionate about? If you’re lucky you’ll have multiple answers. If you have no answers, it’s time to start finding things to be passionate about. Read more: The Short But Powerful Guide to Finding Your Passion.

If you have multiple answers, just choose one. Or find ways to combine two of them (if you love sewing and Star Wars, sew Star Wars costumes and put them on Etsy). Don’t be paralyzed by this choice: if it turns out this isn’t what you want then you can always start another business later. You learn by doing and making mistakes, not by analyzing every possible outcome and factor.

This passion will become your dream job.

This is how I did it. I love writing and I love taking steps to change my habits and my life. I started Zen Habits just for fun and it turned into my dream job.

You need a lot of money to get started, right? No. I explicitly reject the idea that “you have to spend money to make money”. Sure, that can work, or it can lead to a mountain of debt and monthly expenses that greatly exceed your income and possibly failure before you’ve had the chance to succeed.

I started my business with nothing. Zero dollars. In fact I had less than nothing: I was highly in debt and broke. I started with free online services (there are plenty — I used Blogger.com and Google Adsense and Google Analytics, but those are just a few examples). I refused to even buy my own domain until I made more money from my business than the cost of that purchase. I refused to pay for my site design or to use a paid host until I was making much more money than those purchases required.

My rule: spend much less than you make. It works for personal finances too.

Actually I didn’t start with nothing. While I had no money, I had some pretty big assets: my mind and talents and hard work and life experience. Those translated into a strong business, it turned out.

How can you start your business with nothing? I won’t create an exhaustive list but here are some examples:

Someone I know wanted to start a marketing business. She didn’t need an office and staff and stationary — all she needed was her laptop (she had one), her skills (she had the experience), her contacts (she had a lot of them), and for people to know she was out there. And for that last bit, it just takes some … marketing skills. Hit businesses up and offer her services. Network online and gain clients that way. If she has expenses for a job she can charge those to the client.My sister wanted to start a ballet school. I suggested instead of building a studio and being hugely in debt, she start by going to private schools and offering to create an after-school ballet program at the schools. Parents would love it, the schools would benefit because parents want services like that, and she has practically no expenses.My other sister wanted to become a personal trainer. I encouraged her to start in her home, with minimal equipment, or go to her clients’ homes and businesses, or do outdoor bootcamps. She did and is amazing at it.Love to play video games? Start a site where you show people how to become elite players. Offer coaching.Start an online store where you sell stuff you make.Teach people how to do whatever you’re good at. They’ll pay you.Want to be a chef? Host dinner parties with gourmet cuisine, and charge $50 a head. Sell tickets in advance and use some of that money to buy the food and some dishes.

Again, these are just a few ideas. Sure, there are some businesses that require an initial investment but I suggest you find ones that don’t. Start free or cheap, borrow space from friends if necessary, and get started.

If you want to make a living at what you love doing, you need to get good at it. Some of you are already good at what you love — you’ve been doing it for years, either on the job or as a personal passion. Others are just starting out, but that’s not a barrier — you just have to put in more time and effort.

I was already an experienced writer when I started Zen Habits (I’d been a journalist for about 18 years), but I didn’t know a thing about blogging or teaching people to simplify, improve their lives, change their habits. I knew about how to do that myself (though I was still learning) but I’d never taught anyone. So I learned: I read other blogs, read personal development sites and books, read blogs about blogging, studied the best, figured out what they did that made them successful. It takes a lot of study, a lot of analysis, a lot of trying and doing and seeing what works and what doesn’t.

I made a ton of mistakes. That’s a good thing. You can’t get good at anything without making a huge amount of mistakes. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes — they’re stepping stones to greatness. Try everything, see what works, see what doesn’t. Stick with the things that work.

Put in a lot of hours of practice and doing. The more, the better. Reflect on what you’ve done and what you’ve learned, write it down. Put it in your blog so you can help others learn, but more importantly you’ll force yourself to learn from your own experience.

Get good. Others will gladly pay you if you’re good.

Any business, big or small, benefits from an audience. That’s different than a customer base — an audience is a group of people who you help and who love you. They might not pay you. Some will want to pay you for more of what you offer, but many will just love you, and that’s a great thing.

Building an audience is tough. It takes time, it takes a lot of giving, it takes a willingness to wither criticism and to learn from that criticism (though ignore the idiots).

I highly recommend you check out Traffic School by my friend Corbett Barr. He’s built an amazing online business and has helped others do the same. This new course will show you how to grow an online audience, attract more visitors and increase sales. It’s very effective, and I’ve contributed to the course myself. Read more: Traffic School (this is an affiliate link that will help support Zen Habits).

OK, you’re pursuing your passion, you’ve developed your skills, you’ve built an audience. Now what? How does that pay your bills?

You build income streams. There are many, many ways to do that, including:

Give away free articles but charge for ebooks or other digital products (that’s what I do).Create a subscription or membership service for powerful content.Create online courses.Sell ads or run ads from ad networks.Do consulting or freelancing.Do speaking engagements or training seminars.Sell physical stuff online or on a site such as Etsy.Create an app and sell it on the Apple or Android platforms.Build a web app and charge for the premium version.Provide a service where you go to people’s houses and do something for them (yardwork, massage, fitness training, houspainting, etc.).Sell T-shirts or coffee mugs or stickers with your slogan or logo.Sell other people’s stuff as an affiliate and get commissions.

Which of these should you do? Try one, see how that works, then try another, then another. See what works best and be willing to build multiple income streams.

I’ve only given you a rough outline but if I gave away every step that would be taking away all the fun. The fun is learning how to do it yourself!

There is something incredibly empowering about seizing control of your life and creating the job you want, rather than waiting for it to happen or waiting for someone to give it to you. You are no longer a passive viewer of the world, but someone actively changing it. You become your own boss, pursuing your own goals. That’s incredible.

If you’re out of a job or stuck in a lousy job, I feel for you. But look at your horrible situation as a wonderful opportunity to change your life and do something great. It could be the best thing you’ve ever done.

Create Time to Change Your Life

When I decided to change my life a little over 5 years ago, I had a very common problem: I didn’t have the time.

I wanted to exercise and find time for my family and eat healthier (instead of the fast-food junk I’d been eating) and read more and write and be more productive and increase my income.

Unfortunately there are only 24 hours in a day, and we sleep for about 8 of them. Subtract the hours we spend eating (3), showering and dressing and fixing up (1), cleaning and running errands (1), driving (2), working (8) … and you’re left with an hour or two at most. Often less.

Eventually I figured out how to do all the things I wanted to do. I’ve achieved all of that and more, and in fact I have more leisure time now than ever. But first I had to figure out the fundamental problem: how could I find the time to change my life?

I know many of you face the same problem — you’ve told me as much. So I thought I’d share some of what I did in the beginning, in hopes that it’ll help.

You must make a commitment. You have to decide that you really want to make a change, and that it’s more important than almost anything else.

For me, only my family was more important — and in fact I was making these change for my family as well as for myself. So these changes I was making were really my top priority in life.

It has to be that urgent for you. Think of this not as “improving your life” but saving it. The changes I made saved my life — I am so much healthier, my marriage is better, my relationships with my kids have improved, I am happier rather than depressed.

If you don’t feel you’re saving your life then you won’t make the tough changes needed.

Once I made the mental commitment, I took small steps to give myself a little wiggle room to breathe and move:

Cut out TV. I watched less TV than ever before (eventually I watched none, though now I watch a few shows a week over the Internet). For many people this one change will free up a couple hours or more.Read less junk. I used to read a lot of things on the Internet that were just entertainment. Same with magazines. I cut that stuff out early so I could focus on what was more important.Go out less. I used to go to a lot of movies and to dinner and drinking. I cut that out (mostly) for awhile, to make time.Wake earlier. Not everyone is going to do this but it was a good step for me. I found that I had more time exercising and working in the morning before anyone woke up — the world was quiet and at peace and without interruptions. (Read more.)

In general, find the things that eat up your time that are less important than the changes you want to make. That’s almost everything except the things you need to live — work and eating and stuff like that. Cut back on them where you can.

I had a lot of commitments in my life — I coached soccer, was on the PTA board, served on a lot of committees at work, had social commitments as well, worked on a number of projects.

Slowly I cut them out. They seemed important but in truth none of them were as important as the life I wanted to create, the changes I wanted to make. Lots of things are important — but which are the absolute most important? Make a decision.

If you are having trouble making a decision, try an experiment. Cut out a commitment just for a little while. See whether you suffer from cutting it out, or whether you like the extra time.

If you’re worried about offending people, don’t. Send an email or make a phone call and explain that you’d love to keep doing the commitment but you just don’t have the time and don’t want to half-ass it. The person might try to talk you into staying but be firm — respect yourself and your time and the changes you’re trying to make.

Here’s a secret: the people and organizations you’ve been helping or working with will live. They will go on doing what they were doing without you, and (omg!) they will survive without you. Your departure will not cause the world to collapse. Let go of the guilt.

Eventually I made many other changes, including:

Making bills and savings and debt payments automatic. I set everything up online so that I wouldn’t have to run errands or spend time making payments. This put my debt reduction on automatic, and I got out of debt. (Read more.)Streamlining errands. I tried to cut as many errands out of my life as possible. Often that meant changing my life in some way but I adjusted and things became simpler. I cleaned as I went so I didn’t have a lot of cleaning to do on weekends. I did the few errands I had all at once to save running around.Work less. I would set limits to how much I could work, forcing myself to pick the important tasks and to get those tasks done on time. I learned which tasks needed to be done and which could be dropped. I became much more effective and worked less.Say no. When people asked me to do stuff that was important to them but not to me, I learned to politely decline. Instead I focused on what was important to me.

Slowly I learned to simplify. I simplified my daily routines, my work, my social life, my possessions, my chores, my wardrobe. It took time but it has been more than worth the effort: life is so much better now that I’ve created the time to do what I want to do.

Are You Frustrated At Your Inability To Create Wealth In Your Life?

What’s the best way to create wealth? My answer may very well surprise you…

If you’re looking to create unlimited wealth, there are numerous ways to do so. Here are some avenues you can take to create wealth: save for 40 years, real estate, stocks, options, build then sell a business, build and hold a business, get out of debt, build a website, network marketing, become CEO of a huge corporation, rob a bank, etc.

This is, of course, a list that could go on for some time and I wouldn’t recommend that you try them all (especially that last one!). My point here is that there are lots of ways to create unlimited wealth and there are tons of websites, books, and trainings on how to do each one of them.

I’d like to comment on a different aspect of what it takes to create unlimited wealth: The most important part of this is how you think about it.

There are people who have been able to create wealth using each one of the methods I’ve listed above. There are also many people who have failed at all the above methods.

What’s the difference? I believe that before you can become good at making more money with anything, you must be able to picture in your mind the end result. You must write down your plan, visualize your plan, and work your plan daily. You must see your success before you can realize your success.

Also, you must be able to tell which method fits your belief system and moral standard. If you have a problem with the consequences many large corporations like Enron have had, being a big-shot CEO may not appeal to you.

If you don’t believe in stealing, having a plan to create unlimited wealth by robbing banks may not be your best avenue.

It’s when people move forward without thinking things through that they get into trouble…take real estate for example. If you don’t think you can handle a tenant trashing your building, you’re going to struggle in holding real estate.

Maybe you should just focus on buying properties and flipping them quickly. Or, maybe you should invest in tax liens instead. If you can’t handle the possibility of a short-term loss with options, maybe you should buy and hold stocks long-term instead.

There are numerous ways that your can create wealth with. The challenge is that each way takes different talents and a different mental make-up.

I myself have made the mistake of jumping into some of these ways quickly without thinking about what I’d be doing on a daily basis. It’s important you do some research in order to know how you should go about your goal to create wealth for yourself.

So, what’s the best way to create wealth? I really don’t know. In order for you to discover the best way for you to have success, it’s up to you to think through everything in the proper manner.

Many things can create wealth. The hard part is finding the way that’ll work for you.

How To Create Wealth and Have More Money

Share/Bookmark

There are so many people in the world who WANT more money, to be wealthy, and enjoy great abundance, but yet they live a life of lack and unhappiness. So what are they doing wrong?

They focus every day on what they don’t have, on what they’re missing, and wonder why this foretold wealth doesn’t magically appear.

Don’t you have to live meagerly and save every penny so you can amass wealth?

Absolutely not! That’s the plan that KEEPS you broke.

It’s one thing to completely waste and not appreciate anything you have, but living out of fear and hording every single penny (again – out of FEAR) will actually repel any wealth that may be coming your way.

Some people have amassed fortunes in spite of themselves. Many actually wealthy people save every penny and live as though they were poor, even though they have millions of dollars stashed away in the bank and various couch cushions. At the end of the day, these people live a life of poverty every day, by way of their very own deliberate intent.

And then the financial planning gurus come on television and tell everyone how the need to always stash money away for a rainy day. Then regular people who WANT wealth and abundance in their lives follow these penny-pinching examples and wonder why they stay broke and miserable.

People who are always saving everything away for a “rainy day” are statistically blessed with more rainy days than most anyone. Rainy days are, after all, where their focus is. And we all know that what you focus on grows.

This is not to say that you should spend every last penny you have. But rather, don’t focus your energy and conscious intention on “rainy days” and lack.

Surrounding yourself with poverty and lack at every turn does NOT condition your mind to be at ease with wealth and abundance. Quite the contrary, you’re enforcing a reality of poverty, and virtually guaranteeing that’s what you’ll be experiencing from then on.

Ultimately this means you are living each day out of fear. Not love, hope, excitement and enthusiasm – but fear. And that is the greatest deterrent for wealth and abundance.

Here’s a radical approach that has worked wonders for us, and should work for you as well – if you can only allow yourself to believe in the possibility.

In The Trick to Money is Having Some, Stewart Wilde recommends immersing yourself in the lifestyle you dream about: a life of wealth, abundance, and possibility.

He encourages you to think and live big – more into the nicest possible house you can afford, and stay at a 5 Star hotel whenever you possibly can.  If you can’t afford to stay at a very expensive 5 Star hotel, you can still go there for a coffee, a drink, or maybe even a modest meal.

The point isn’t to spend beyond your means, but rather to FEEL what it’s like to live surrounded by wealth and abundance. You must feel and experience the sensations, what it’s all about. And then, you will slowly come to expect for life to unravel in this manner. And the more you expect something to go a certain way, the more it will.

Another great book that helps to dispel  many of the myths around money and wealth is  Why You’re Dumb, Sick & Broke…And How to Get Smart, Healthy & Rich! by Randy Gage.

Are you focusing on the experience you wish to have, or the problems you wish would go away? Most people just focus on their problems and what they’re missing. Remember: whatever you focus on grows stronger. So if you focus all your energy on your “problems”, bills, and whatever else is making you unhappy, then guess what you’ll get… More of that.

Money itself is worthless paper, it means nothing. The real value to money is the promise of what you can do and achieve in exchange for it.

Logically, we know that money can solve a lot of the issues we’re facing. It can allow us to purchase whatever creature comforts we desire, and so on. But it’s hard to get excited about any of that. At the end of the day, what truly excites you is the dream, the thing that money will get for you. So, let’s go to the source.

Our true power to manifest our desires into reality is based on feelings, emotions. The best and fastest way to attract something into your life is to focus on what you want, see it clearly in your mind, and experience the joy and feelings of ALREADY HAVING IT. Close your eyes and experience the joy of driving your brand new exotic sports car. FEEL the exhilaration, the excitement, the luxury and abundance. Every morning, set aside 10 minutes for a brief meditation where you close your eyes, sit perfectly still, and repeat this exercise.

So stop focusing on “having a lot of money”. Rather, train your focus on what you want to attract into your life… a beautiful home, a wonderful neighborhood, an exotic car, a great job, freedom to work from home for yourself, etc.

Thoughts create our reality


Today I want to share one of the most powerful lessons that I have ever learned. If you master the doctrines of this lesson and I guarantee that your life will never be the same again!

What we focus on our reality!

Four years ago I read a great book that changed my life forever. The book "Think and Grow Rich" and was written by Napoleon Hill in 1937.Napoleon Hill has spent his entire life studying the laws of success and worked with some of the richest men in history as Andrew Carnegie and Henry Ford. his laws of success have stood the test of time and today still very valid. If you have the time to read, research and application of these principles, I guarantee that they have a huge impact on your results and also the quality of your life.

Scientists have estimated that, we more than 25,000 thoughts each day. The problem is that that 25,000 thoughts tend to the exact same mind repeating itself over and over again!

We develop patterns of behaviour over time and our lives very predictable. Every night we sleep on the same side of the bed, breakfast, we the same sink our teeth into the same direction and is equipped with a shower, it was the same body parts in the same order! We drive to work in the same way, with the same people talking and doing the same job.We at home and watching the same television shows, have the same dinners and talking about the same topics.

We spend our complete working week are counting the days until the weekend. We bring the weekend go, drinking, cosiness and complain about how bad work. Sunday evening is quickly coming around and let's start with the thought of back to work on Monday get depressed. this robot as a matter of routine repeats itself over and over again! Do you know there are more heart attacks on a Monday morning at 9 am than any other time in the week?

The sad fact is that 95% of people bitch, whine and complain about their current situation without an attempt to do to change it. They do not realize that she makes this miserable life by the way that they think!

Unchanged if nothing changes!

95% of people are stuck in a rut in their lives and a rut is only a few inches above a grave! To change our lives, we need to change our habits and our habits to change we need to know our thoughts change! New thoughts lead to new feelings which lead to new actions to create new results!

Feelings-thoughts-> > > actions-results

We must learn to check our thoughts we want to change our lives. How much time do you spend to concentrate on what you're not in life instead of focusing on what you want?

Imagine yourself as a human being transmission tower, sending out a frequency with your thoughts.If you make changes in your life, change the frequency by changing your thoughts.

The key to success is more time to focus on what we want in life, we have to accept the fact that we have made by our thoughts to stop complaining about our current conditions.We have full responsibility for our current reality.If we play a victim, we are powerless.If we accept the fact that we have made in our lives than we are powerful.We now have the ability to change our lives. all it takes is a decision!Our current situation to change we need to know our thoughts change and focus our energy.

If you "poverty" into a search engine of Google has come up what?Millions of topics about poverty!What happens when you "wealth" in the same search engine type? you get millions of pages about wealth!

What you are typing in your search engine?

If you are currently in debt and you're getting invoices by post is the first step to stop complaining about the Bills. each time you complain about your level of debt attract more debt you in your life.This effect is compounded if you extreme emotion to the situation. the frequency that you emit is from the universe "blame"!You need to start focusing on prosperity and abundance, you want to get out of debt.

The same applies to people who constantly protest against what they don't like. they make of banners and posters, March in the street and start shouting "no war, no war more '. They do not realize that by doing so they are actually more war in their lives! when you feelings and emotions to share your thoughts, which the results are a hundred times worse. instead of anti-war they must change their mind peace. pro or are they think" NO MORE WAR "or" BRING ON THE WAR "the thrill is exactly the same, and they will be pulling in their lives.

In the next few days with start monitoring your thoughts.

Pay attention to how often you want the focus on what you do not want to use your emotions as a guide. If you're feeling negative emotions than you need to focus on anything that you do not want. If you are feeling positive emotions rather than continue to focus on that!

As soon as you concentrate on the negative situations immediately feel your focus to what you want. This takes some practice, but the first step in changing your life starts with your consciousness.

The use of the law of attraction to create your reality

I have been writing about defining new age terms and phrases and hopefully simplifying them for mainstream reading. I am writing to the people who get turned off and tune out when they see them. Some of the terms I have described may be considered new age but words are funny. They evolve. ESP and karma used to belong to the new age movement. Now they are either old news or in the case of karma, used by the majority. If words are used enough by a wide range of people, then before long they become commonplace.
New Age Spirituality - The Tune Out Phrase
One phrase that I haven't even mentioned is "new age spirituality." It's almost achieved the status of ESP and karma. People have used it for 20 plus years so it's not as woo-woo anymore. When someone says this phrase, most will have a general idea what it means. When this one is used, it often has a big tune out effect. If I break it down into two parts it may be easier to understand. Unfortunately it is still a label for a group of people.
We love labels. One aspect of new age thought is to eliminate labels, yet we humans seem to need them to allow our minds to box and categorize things. New thought. New behavior. Change. These are all aspects of the new age. Spirituality can feel like a religious word. New-agers are not religious. There is no bible. No rule book. No code of conduct.
We are all spiritual beings. There is a spiritual aspect to everything so using the word spirituality along with the words new age kind of works, yet I like to think that this awakening stuff is not for the chosen "enlightened" few but for all. It describes a way of being rather than any structured group or religion. It has connotations for some that I would dearly love to change.
My intention is to contribute to make this phrase more universally accepted with posts like this. Help others understand that it is not a secret society who like to astral travel or a sect filled with new age spirituality nuts but just regular humans that have experienced an amazing transformation in their perspective on life. With a knowing that we will all go through this.
I saved the most popular new age term for last. We love to preface concepts with the words "universal law." Like karma (which is also called the universal law of cause and effect or biblically "what ye reap ye shall sow") this new age term has been beaten to death since the movie "The Secret" came out. So much so that it has almost become mainstream.
The Universal Law Of Attraction - Creating Our Reality
In 2000, when I was jolted awake, I worked in a two person office. The other poor soul had to listen to me go on and on about new age spiritual concepts. He was a mainstream guy who was into sports and all the "normal" guy stuff. He was very non judgmental and I loved him for that, but one time when I was talking about reality, he raised his voice and said;
"There is only one reality!"
I looked at him straight in the eye and said
"No, you're wrong. Everyone has their own reality."
The conversation ended there.
When I put my bio in profiles on sites, I usually say that I am anOverlight facilitator and that Overlight is a process that recognizes that we can create our own reality and can therefore create whatever we choose. This is the same concept as the law of attraction only put in a more woo-woo way.
This concept is not new. It's been around since ancient times. New age concepts are like that. It's not new stuff, it's just old truths that stand the test of time.
Egyptian and Sumerians wrote about it. The Koran , The Torah, The Bible, all reference the same basic concept. This if from the Jewish Book of Proverbs:
"As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is"

Notice it says heart, not head.
Many semi-modern writers like Napoleon Hill inThink And Grow Rich says "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." Norman Vincent Peale in The Power Of Positive Thinking writes about what we can create with how we think. And what about Tony Robbins. Same stuff. He's been saying it for a long time.
This new age, old age phrase with the fancy title of universal law, when used by many these days, often leaves out a very important part of it. It doesn't work to just think, I need a new car and poof, one appears in your driveway. The "universe" (that's another term that gets thrown around a lot) will co-create your reality with you, but only if there is clear communication. Communication with integrity. Not integrity in the dictionary sense of the word.
This is how I describe integrity. There are the four vibrational lines that people put out and we sub-consciously or consciously feel them and interpret them and so does the universe. (Okay, so that's a woo-woo statement. Couldn't help myself:)
* What you speak
* What you do
* What you think
* What you believe
We put out these four lines all the time. When they are integrated and all match then creation flows. That's integrity. When they match, they are then easy to interpret. So many may "think" positively but don't "believe" that it will work for them. Or they say one thing and their actions say another. All common concepts to understand but not always easy to put into practice. If you don't truly believe that the law of attraction is real or that you do not have the ability to create what you desire then, guess what? The law of attraction will be just another mumbo jumbo, new age concept that is for some "elite" few and not for you. You have to completely trust that you can do it. If you have doubt, then there is no integrity.
Whether you are creating perfect health or abundance or inner peace or joy you have to be open to receive it and recognize that you created it and it is for you and you are worthy of it. You must feel gratitude for the creation as if has already happened and believe that you have it. The universe will match your belief and it will happen.
Using the term universe may turn some people off as being "out there" but all it really denotes is everything outside of you. Call it god or spirit or whatever. Sure it sounds new-agey but it is just another example of using words to express concepts that are hard to define. We are not alone. When we believe that we can attract what we desire then watch the help come. Who cares where it comes from or what it's called.
My intention in writing about demystifying new age terms is to bring us together. To help make these concepts palatable for all. To take the woo-woo out of them. To hopefully get some to stay tuned in when they hear or read someone use them. As I have said they are not new concepts or even new age terms. We have been talking about this stuff since the beginning. The only difference is that now, more people are hearing them and truly believing that they are truths and not some mystical ideas thought up by new age gurus or ancient scribes, but concepts that work. They work to change our perspective on life and to how we interact with each other. Work to create the heaven on earth that we all deserve and are all capable of experiencing.
Let's do this all together and not alienate ourselves with labels and terms and groups. Let's not let words block us from receiving information that may just be exactly what we need to hear at exactly the right time.
