My wise and brilliant friend, John Assaraf, recently wrote:
“The older I get (and hopefully wiser), I realize that some people are just happiest (or most comfortable) when they are miserable.
I know it’s an oxymoron but it’s true. As I travel the world sharing the lessons and specific strategies for achieving success, I come across so many people who prefer to be right vs. change and have what they say they want.
The drug of choice today is “Hopium” where people hope for things to get better and do nothing to help themselves and the inflammation disease that many suffer from is “Excuse-itis,” an inflammation of the excuse gland.
Success is about learning how to do the right things, in the right order at the right time… and then…. Just do it!”
I agree with John. I often see the same thing.
Sometimes, without consciously realizing it, we are addicted to suffering, trapped in our misery. Stuck in our story….the story that we think we just can’t have, or don’t deserve, what we most desire. Or, we are doing the same things over and over again, wishing for a different result, not realizing that it’s time for a radical change in approach.
If you been living on “Hopium,” or you need more inspiration and direction to manifest your heart’s biggest desire, NOW is the time to give up the Hopium pipe, to go cold turkey, and commit to making your dream(s) come true. (And I know some of you are tired, angry, and frustrated that it hasn’t happened yet…. Still not a good reason to give up.)
The steps are simple (but not necessarily easy):
- Get absolute clarity on what you desire and how you will FEEL when it’s attained.
- Commit time every day to be in the feelings of “dreams fulfilled.”
- Take right action, even if it’s just daily baby steps.
- Get an accountability partner.
- Invest your time, energy, money, intention and attention to your dream.
Go for it. You deserve it.
Wishing you love, laughter, and magical kisses,
