Here’s a great quote from Abraham on why feeling good now is important.
“The reason you want every single thing that you want, is because you think you will feel really good when you get there. But, if you don’t feel really good on your way to there, you can’t get there. You have to be satisfied with what-is while you’re reaching for more.”

Years ago I began teaching a concept called The Contribution Game. A few years back with the help of Marc, Thach and Kristen we rebranded the idea and called it Giving The Gift. The community of people giving and recieving the gift is alive and kicking. Check out stories of connections, Will Smith and miracles right here

A lot of people tell me, “Matthew, the law of attraction doesn’t seem to work anymore for me.” I know that there are a lot of things happening that make people think it’s not working.
The first factor is the economy. A few years back, when the economy was absolutely on fire, and everything was easy and just flowing, you could easily make money. You could take on new projects, make things happen. I mean, the optimism was off the charts. The ability to make things happen was spectacular. That was also a perfect time for that movie, “The Secret,” to come out because it really gave the illusion that you could be anyone and produce results through your thinking.
Conversely, now we’re in a time where people are a lot more skeptical. There’s a lot more fear that is in our environment, and you need to take care of your inner world in order to produce the results that you want. Things don’t come as easily now. The law of attraction still works, absolutely.
You didn’t really need to have your other emotions perfectly in line when the economy was amazing, but now you do. You need to get yourself into a place of optimism, joy, and enthusiasm. You have to. And so, I request that you watch some of my videos, and read some of my other blog posts, and learn some of the techniques and tactics that I give you to get your emotions in the right place. Once you get your emotions into a place where you feel great, then good stuff happens, regardless of what’s going on in the economy.
The law of attraction absolutely can work for you. In a down economy, in an up economy, no matter what’s happening, but you must be able to control you emotional state, and stay in a positive and powerful place, or it’s not going to work.

A client writes in, ” Sometimes I get impatient when people don’t get it (ie. They assume things, are negative…don’t think like me)…how can I become better at understanding people?? My ego gets out of whack when it wants to impose its beliefs about how things should be onto others…when my true self knows there is no right or wrong.”
I call this the spiritual Drunk Monkey. Once you become a spiritual person you put less weight in what The Drunk Monkey says so it becomes spiritual in order to get your attention again.
Your judgement is a futile attempt at surviving longer by trying to be better or fix what is broken. See The Drunk Monkey for what it is; a biological mechanism that protects you from threats that don’t exist.

Today I told a client, “Have you ever considered that he’s the right man for you but your have the wrong Drunk Monkey for him?”
Ever wonder why we are drawn to people that we make wrong?
The Drunk Monkey wants to make babies and simultaneously wants to protect you from other tribes that might be dangerous.
Welcome to being an animal.

Worried
What you had envisioned success to be, isn’t at all what success actually is. Success is like standing in a hammock on one leg juggling twelve balls. Now that you’ve accomplished this incredible feet, it takes a lot to keep it going.
People who are already successful once believed that success would bring happiness. Happiness in the form of acknowledgement, appreciation, victory, money, power, self esteem etc. Now that you are successful and have received the accolades, you realize, it doesn’t make you happy.
In fact, success often brings even more negativity into your life. More people want something from you and demand your time. You have more responsibilities and accountabilities. To be successful often means you have created something that needs to be protected. Even worst, you may be among the many successful people who face the disastrous notion that what you have created isn’t even something you want.
To create happiness in your life takes a different set of success tools. The target is different. It’s not longer material success or accomplishment. The new target is emotional success. This is the next domain of success. Once you realize that success does not make you happy, you suddenly find yourself on journey.
Nothing outside of you will bring happiness. Nothing out in the world will ever make you happy. Happiness is both an art and a skill. Your mind, which I lovingly call, The Drunk Monkey is not designed for happiness. In fact, I’ll leave you with this thought, “Anything other then happiness and peace is just a state of mind.”
