I’m happy to be helping so many people find ridiculous bliss in this crazy world. Here’s Rayna’s testimony and a link to my free 15-day eCourse to get you on the path as well.
“I just wanted to send you a quick note about how your work changed me/my life. I was feeling a little lost when i found your work, and the one thing that I took most to heart was your advice to have “total and complete acceptance of all people, at all times, in all situations, including myself”. I felt there was something to this, so I started putting it into practice. When I noticed judgments coming up, I just noticed them for what they are (monkey mind), and gently let them float away. After doing this for several weeks, I noticed that something miraculous happened. It was not a choice any longer that I had to make each time a situation came up. It was my natural state. I see everyone for who they are on a soul level, and more than just accepting everyone, I love them! I have this intense feeling of love for everyone I meet, and even people in my life that I previously would judge and hold resentments towards. So, thank you for that powerful bit of advice, it’s really made a difference in my life.”

If life went exactly as planned, you wouldn’t learn anything. If life didn’t push against you, you wouldn’t grow or evolve. The contrast is what you need to know how to create the vision in your head.
What gets in the way is our opinion. “This shouldn’t be!” the Drunk Monkey screams. But if you look at the history of your life you will see that all great obstacles were necessary to get you where you are today. Destruction is the beginning of creation and creation is the beginning of destruction. When you create, you push up against the status quo and that creates opposition.
If you are feeling opposition to your goals, then you are on your way.

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?

Yesterday I wrote about people using spirituality to cover up the negative aspects of their life. See post here. Today I want to address another stop to happiness, “The Spiritual Drunk Monkey”.
This is a very simple concept that causes many “spiritually evolved” people to have sucky lives (aka: I put on a happy facade to cover up my discontent).
As some point The Drunk Monkey begins to use spirituality as a survival tool. It recognizes that you are committed to a spiritual path and then begins to use spirituality to make you right and others wrong. The chatter in your head changes its tune and starts to sound something like this, “Spiritual people are the right people and non-spiritual people are the wrong people.” This is just more of the same monkey madness that makes life not functional. By the way, your opinion is the source of all your suffering.
Ultimately spirituality is a matter of surrender and acceptance which will ultimately eliminate negative emotions and fear. Therefore, if you experience any negative feelings around ideas like, “My family just doesn’t get my spirituality!” or “People just don’t get how much more powerful it is to be spiritual.” then you are not in a state of surrender and acceptance. These are statements of fear.
Give up the spiritual Drunk Monkey today. Let non-spiritual types be the way they are with no opinion one way or the other. Stop reacting to death, destruction, people being treated poorly and all the other things in the world that contradict The Drunk Monkey’s opinion. Try it for a day and see what happens.
I dare you to accept that which you can not accept.

Most people believe that once they have money, they will be prosperous. The opposite is true.
Prosperous is defined as a successful, flourishing, or thriving condition. That has nothing to do with money. The question is, “Can I get into a prosperous state now?” What do you need to let go of? In the Inspired Action Coaching Program we ask, “What misperception about yourself, others and the world has you not feeling successful, flourishing and thriving now?”
When you get into a prosperous state of mind, it leads you to money-making opportunities. You are more effective at your job. You are more open to new ideas. You feel safe, secure and happy. Money finds people in this condition.
Here’s something simple you can do to feel more prosperous now. Make a list of 10 things that are amazing in your life. What are you grateful for? What are you happy about? What is working in your life? This list will help you to connect to your prosperous state. Do it now and notice the shift in your state of mind.

“Working with Matthew for one hour is like going to a year of therapy, reading 1/3 of the self-help section of the bookstore, and getting a 360-degree review of your life in a compact package. What you did for me today will truly allow me to raise to a whole new level of performance and vibration for the planet, and I’m so very happy to be in the beauty of my life with someone who can kick my Jedi ass! You Rock!”
