"Everything is going wrong"

Here is a question I got from someone doing my free course 15 bullet proof strategies for getting inspired and in action.

“Hi Matthew

Im enjoying your 15 bulletproof strategies, however can you answer this question for me please.

After having numerous business’s in which I was happy and visualizing great things to happen with them, why then do things go wrong for no apparent reason. Ok, I know people will say – ah when things went wrong you got depressed etc etc and this led to more things going wrong. Well, I was quite happy to begin with so why all of a sudden do things go wrong and then all of a sudden you have to start getting in gear mentally with the hope of getting back to where you started in the first place!, that is, happy and visualizing great things for my business.

For example, you can buy a lottery ticket with great hopes and visualizing of what you might do with your winnings and what happens , Nothing!

But without even trying, you come out and staring your right in the face is a flat tyre on your car. My point is without even trying everything and anything will go wrong, but to hope that something will go right, you have to start mentally starting to believe that it will, then your told you shouldn’t try so hard or you shouldn’t wish for too much or you shouldn’t do this or you shouldn’t do that etc etc…talk about confusing the mind!.

My question is, were all told to get the mind in a good place with various techniques and things will start to happen, why then, when the mind was in a good place to begin with we need to bring it back to where we began before any of the problems started.? Now, I am a positive person at the best of times but I cant figure out that the harder I try, the worse it gets and for sure I am not going to sit around not trying for fear of trying to hard….what am I doing wrong.

Kindest regards

Here is my response to Jim:  First of all you and I have to realize that “shit happens”.  LIfe is unpredictable and out of our control.  What you can control is your attitude or perception.  I’ve had many many failures in my life.  But what gives me an advantage is that I can correct my feeling of hopelessness and get back to actions that will “most likely” lead to good results.  I’m not always going to get good results.  But I am going to up my odds by intentionally working to stay in a good frame of mind and continuing to take action in the direction of my goal.

Jim, I’ve had a goal to be featured on TV for several years now.  It has not happened.  From one perspective I have failed.  From another I just haven’t taken the proper actions to make that happen yet.  I get to choose which perspective I focus on.  My perspective makes me feel something.  I choose perspectives that make me feel good so that I can keep moving forward towards my goal.  There are no bad goals, just bad deadlines.

Keep moving forward.  Keep using techniques to stay in an optimistic point of view.  Even when all seems lost, the optimist can find a little bit of light and hope to continue on. That is the skill set I teach.  Thanks for being a student of the 15 strategies.

Two days ago, out of the blue my dad brought two iPad one’s over, out of the blue, to give to my middle boys.  He had just bought himself and his wife iPad twos.  When he arrived he realized it would create a conflict as my eldest boy felt left out.  So he offered to buy him a new one.  I intervened and suggested that my eldest boy should get my iPad one and asked if he would buy me the iPad 2.  Done.  Completely unexpected.  Completely fantastic.  Totally generous on his part.  Needless to say… check it off the list.  You never know how or when or why.  The key was appreciation.

What’s on your list?

The other day my new neighbors told us to come and meet them at the beach.  New to the area they picked the busiest beach with the biggest parking problem.  My wife imediately declined forcasting the issue.  I happily agreed and my two youngest boys were game too.  We left about an hour after they did which meant we were going to have to find them in the middle of the summer weekend chaos of Newport Peir.  On the way there I asked the boys to visualize a parking spot that made us all laugh at how perfect it was.  Then see us lazily walking up to the beach and magically happening upon our neighbors.  Secretly I knew the odds of either happening were very very very small.  But I put that Drunk Monkey talk aside and worked to get into a completely neutral state.  If it happened great, if not we would go to another beach with better parking.

We circled the small parking lot several times which took us nearly 30 minutes.  My 8 year old was starting to get annoyed and began complaining that we should just go to the next beach.  I told him to take a deep breath and watch his movie.  5 minutes later we pulled into an amazing spot, right in front.  We all laughed as envisioned.  Then walking to the beach we turned a corner to head onto the beach and who was standing there about to step foot on the beach themselves?  Our neighbors.

Moral of the story.  Create a back up plan that will fulfill your objective in a different way so that you aren’t attached.  Relax, take deep breaths and invest the time needed.  The more times we circled the parking lot, the better our odds.  The Law of Attraction concept is all about your attitude towards the circumstances leading up to the fulfillment of your desire.

Rookie umpire said, ” I look inside the strike zone and I call ‘em the way they are”

The experienced umpire said, “After a while I realized the best I could do is call them the way I see them”

The Master umpire said, “They ain’t nothin’ till I call ‘em!!”

Your life isn’t anything until you call it.

Life isn’t hard.

People aren’t jerks.

You aren’t stupid.

Life isn’t anything until you call it.

We were flying Southwest Airlines home which means we needed to check in early if we wanted to choose great seats.  When we arrived at the airport I jokingly said to alex, ”Ouch!  We forgot to check in early.  So we are going to be crammed into the back of the plane!”

To our delight we were some of the first passengers to check in and got an A boarding pass. But our flight was massively delayed. We decided to sit in the cafe and do work on our laptops while waiting for our plane to arrive. After working in a trance for a few hours I look at my clock and was shocked to realize that our flight was leaving in 20 minutes!  We jumped up from our seats and literally ran to our gate knowing that most airlines close the boarding process 15 minutes before the plane is scheduled to leave. To our chagrin everyone was already on the plane and my negative affirmation came true.

The moral of the story?  The universe wants to please you. It wants you to live life exactly as you please. Which means you posses the free will to screw yourself over if you so choose.

Be careful what you affirm because it’s going to happen.

The way you play is simple. Whatever is offered, you take it. Whatever is suggested, you do it. Whatever happens, you declare it perfect. A lot of people get freaky about that. “Whatever’s offered? Matthew, what if people offer you drugs?” Come on, you’ve got to use discernment here, okay?

Usually someone is offering you things because you’ve been talking and they see that there’s some connection and they’re hooking you up. People suggest things because of what you’ve been saying. I’m not talking about people trying to sell you something, because that isn’t a suggestion.

So whatever is offered, you take it. Whatever is suggested, you do it. Whatever happens, you laugh and you declare it perfect. Open yourself up and say yes.

I look for sort of random, unusual opportunities or things that just come up. A buddy of mine, Phil Tyrone, I think you know him from, his website is 720CreditScore.com. Good friend of mine, known him for a long time, coached with me and he and I have become buddies since.

Phil calls me up out of the blue and says, “A good friend of mine is coming into town. He’s going to a LA Kings game, and he invited me to come, but I couldn’t go.” And he said, “Do you want to go to the Kings game? They’re going to have dinner beforehand. You can meet and hang out.” and I said, “Okay, cool.”

So I just say yes. It was an unusual opportunity, and I said yes. I have no agenda. So, I come walking into this room. We’re meeting in a restaurant beforehand, and I’m overwhelmed. You know, there’s about 19 people at this table. And it’s not just 19 normal people, it’s 19 of the movers and the shakers in my industry. So I’m thinking, “Whoa, wow!”. I sit down and I immediately start connecting with people. I’m asking about them and what they’re up to and what are their goals, dreams and where are they going and what are they doing, etc.

I connect with this one man in particular named Adam. Adam had just finished making a movie, and I was like, “Oh my god, how amazing.” So I’m just finding about this and immediately he’s reciprocating and wants to find out what I’m doing. Well, I’m in the middle of a little side project that I’m doing, is I’m creating a movie codenamed What the Floyd, that is about this 42-year-old man who is having a major crisis and breakdown in his life. And he gets in a car accident and he’s killed. And he has a near death experience and comes back and sees his life in a whole new way. And the whole thing is told with songs that I’m writing with my buddy David Keesee.

So I’m immediately intrigued by the fact that he just finished a film. He did it totally independent. He did it the way that I wanted to do my film. We got to talking, and he says, “Oh my god, I can help.” I was contributing to him, but then he turned around and started contributing to me. I went from confidence level two, that I was going to be able to do this movie the way that I wanted to do it, to now confidence level nine just in a moment!

I was not really out there in the world seeking out people who were going to help me with this. It just fell into my lap. It’s been a side project, background intention. I’ve been writing the songs and things like that, but not really focusing on how we’re going to actually do the production. But it’s an intention. It’s still there. It’s written down that I want to do that.

So the Perfect Game led me straight to it. And the Perfect Game will lead you straight to the things that you want as well. I recommend that whatever’s offered, you take it; whatever’s suggested, you do it; and whatever happens, you laugh and you declare it perfect. Remember to use discernment.
