William Carlos Williams said, “A new world is a new mind” and I couldn’t agree more.
Your life is nothing more than the thoughts, ideas and perceptions you focus on.
If you are unhappy, then you are allowing yourself to focus on what does not make you happy.
“But Matthew, how the hell do I focus on what makes me happy when my entire world is falling apart around me?” my clients say.
You need training. Plain and simple. You must start by creating a vision for what you want your life to be.

Radio Interview
Nellie Jacobs does a radio show Igniting Imagination on Blog Talk Radio. She interviews creative types and digs out their thought processes. Very in depth. If you need some inspiration today, take the time to listen to this show. Plus, she plays a couple segments of songs that I’ve written in the past (fun).

Monkey in the Mirror
One of our Inspired Action Coaching clients is having a breakthrough. Not only has she forgiven her mother, father and stepmother in the last two weeks… she has also started having a lot of luck in her prospecting for new business. People seem to be nicer and more pleasant.
News Flash: No one is anything until you show up.
Today she comments, “Today my son’s teacher appeared differently. Normally I judge and assess this lady because I never really liked her. Yet, today it was like I looked at her for the first time and saw the kindness in her eyes. It was pretty cool.”
You see your reflection in other people. There are no jerks in the world until you show up. People aren’t anything until you label them. You get what you put out. When you are cool, others show up cool. When you are nasty, others show up nasty. You are getting what you are giving. There is no “others” out there. It’s all your perception.
Today be kind and loving towards everyone you meet and see what happens. You will be shocked to see that people who are normally not kind or loving, make a positive shift and become more kind and loving.

Hmm?
The rigorous truth of your life is that all is well.
Yes, there may be things that you prefer would be different. But your preference doesn’t make “how it is” wrong. If you are very honest, other than your opinions or preferences, life is perfect the way it is.
Today. just notice how perfect everything is the way that it is. Practice inventing opinions and reasons that validate the perfection of every aspect of your life. Notice how much more peaceful and powerful you are taking this approach. It takes practice because it’s not normal. The Drunk Monkey (your mind) is not programmed to notice how things are perfect the way that they are. The Drunk Monkey’s job is to figure out what is wrong and kill it, fix it or avoid it. Ignore the monkey today, okay?

This morning I sit here and The Drunk Monkey (my mind) is tormenting me with imaginary scenarios about potential negative futures. It is protecting me from people who aren’t attacking me. It is strategizing and avoiding possible destruction that isn’t even occurring.
Over and over The Drunk Monkey plays out possible negative futures. I feel myself getting more and more worried. I experience doubt, panic and fear.
“Wait a minute!” I scream at The Drunk Monkey.
“Let’s take stock for a second.” I say to The Drunk Monkey. “Is any of this actually happening right now? No! Is there any evidence that any of these negative situations will occur? No!” So I proceed to do a quick 10/10 Visualization and review everything in my life that I’m grateful for. Then I think about my goals and dreams. Then I say to myself, “What actions am I committed to today?”
As I begin to see what actions I’m going to take, The Drunk Monkey begins to get on board and assess what needs to happen to fulfill on my desired outcomes.
Voila! I’m back. Now you try it.
If you need help with the 10/10 Visualization I’ve also created an audio version where I guide you through a 15 minute exercise. Check it out here

You ask God/Source/Universe for what you want and then you sit back and wait for it to come. In most cases, it ain’t gonna happen. Can you pull results to you? Yes. But… action is a big part of the process.
When you ask for a breakthrough or new results, you must act with faith that it will come. Manifesting results is an active process, not passive.
What actions can you take today to make your dreams come true?
