Here’s a question a client asked, “How do you stay in a good place when your dreams don’t seem to be materializing the way you want?”
Two words: Commitment and acceptance.
When you are committed to something, and the result is not happening, you are flexible. You keep trying new approaches, you stay alert to new opportunities and new information that will lead you to your goal. Your commitment drives things forward.
When you stay in a state of acceptance, the ups and downs of life don’t throw you for a loop. Acceptance helps you to be open to the new ways that what you want will show up.
You are not a psychic. You don’t know how your goals and dreams will show up. Just stay committed and accept what is happening and you will achieve in a more balanced and peaceful state.

Inspiration is far more powerful and productive then force and manipulation. When you are inspired, you are naturally in action, which produces exponential results. When you are afraid that what you want is not coming, you become forceful and that makes everything you try more difficult. All fear is an illusion. There is very little in your life that is actually dangerous.
Awareness makes you flexible which reveals new options and leads to power. I call this The Game Changer. Using The Game Changer process, you will get into a clear-minded place. You will realize that all is well, everything you want is coming and there is no need to push or force. One of the master skills in life is to relax and let it flow. From this naturally blissful place, inspiration arises and you find yourself in massive action towards your most cherished dreams. Goals that you had put off in the “someday” category suddenly become today’s priorities.

As the economy squeezes most people today, many are rethinking their lives. Many of my clients are discovering that they are success-aholics. Addicted to the success that was so easy to achieve during the boom times. Yet, now that things are different, life isn’t so easy and many are reconsidering their priorities.
Many success addicts find themselves working twice as hard for half the results today. If that’s you, then it’s time to channel some of that energy into other areas of your life that will bear more fruit.
In my Inspired Action Coaching process, I ask people to prioritize the following 10 categories:
- Physical Body
- Spiritual Relationship
- Mindset
- Family
- Primary Relationship (spouse/partner)
- Business
- Personal Finances
- Social Life
- Contributions
- Recreation
Then I ask you to rate your level of satisfaction in each category on a scale from 1-10. One being not satisfied and ten being totally satisfied. Finally I ask you to create two or three objectives in each category that, if they were achieved, would make that category a 10.
Doing this exercise on a quarterly basis creates creates more balance, peace and satisfaction. A little side note: After doing this exercise with more then 8000 people for over 16 years I can tell you that most people achieve 70% of what they write. Isn’t that encouraging?

A client of mine is between a rock and a hard place. Like millions of people in America today, this person thought that buying a kind of real estate, over-leveraging, and betting on speculation was the smart thing to do. It has since blown up in her face and now she finds herself making a lot of money, but owing more than she makes every month.
The key is to let it all go, and this has been a tough process. Admitting that she has not accomplished what she set out to accomplish or that admitting that she made a mistake is the absolute critical first step. She’s embarrassed. She doesn’t want to look bad. She’s afraid of what people will think. These negative future prophecies that her mind is hitting her with keep her stuck and not moving forward. She has not been taking the action she knew she needed to take 18 months ago, so here we are today in a much worse position.
This is the same kind of behavior that I suppose gambling addicts have. They just keep thinking, the next time I’m going to win, the next month, I’m going to win, the one next one I’m going to win, and then I’ll bring it all back, and I’ll be victorious, but ultimately, it has shot her in the foot, and she has lost hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process. The key is to just admit it and let it all go, to know that if you have built it once, you can build it again, that people make mistakes. Disney even went bankrupt, and he was a pretty smart guy who built a pretty amazing thing. It’s okay to admit your failures and let it all go.

A client of mine sent me this email yesterday in a burst of enthusiasm. I want you to feel like this too, okay? Let me help you.
“I am shifting so fast…. That little resistance point about what I do for a living that popped up in our call, and my working it through that
afternoon was a milestone. Just be happy. Choose joy in this moment, and the next, and the next.
The amount of joy…. Just joy … I am experiencing is mind-blowing. I
spent all of yesterday writing… Writing for the pure pleasure of it….
Writing for me…. No agenda… No plan.. Just this creative flow… And it
feels amazing.
My heart is breaking open. I am feeling such love for people. True love. I
am spending time doing things and connecting with people at a whole new
level. I know you know what I mean… It’s indescribable. Tonight I
connected with a man with no legs, hardly any hands… And we just talked.
This isn’t new for me… I can talk to anyone… But the openness of my
heart. The fullness in my heart…The joy in looking this man in the eyes
and actually SEEING him. I think I caught him off guard. I got so connected
to my humanness, and my spirit.
Matthew I love you so much. This journey is so exciting. I am so in.
whatever happens. WHATEVER happens.. I know I am moving toward God’s big plan for my life. Even in the bigness of all my prior dreams, I sense that
what’s in store for me eclipses it all. How could my human self have any
idea what’s possible when I fully awaken? How could I have spent all those
years driving toward my silly version of ‘success’. No matter, I am on the
pathway, and I have you to thank.”

In January 2007 I put on an event in Sedona AZ. It was called Prosperity Through Meditation. Steven Sadleir led the meditations, Dr. David Hawkins inspired us to live a more spiritual life and I supported the group with practical techniques to get into a flow state with life. These videos are the 8 steps I presented to get into the flow and stay there.
