There was a time in my life when I believed that stuff just happened to me, that I had little control over the way life turned out and that it was my job to just roll with the punches. I believed that to get what you want out of life you need a bangin’ bank account and a body to match. In recent years I’ve become an avid student of life—reading autobiographies of “successful” people, listening to inspiring seminars on YouTube and immersing myself in all types of study.
As a result of my ever-expanding understanding I’ve realized that I am in fact the creator of my reality…Just like you’re the creator of your reality. It’s a powerful thing to realize that you can actually have whatever you want in life.
You just have to know how to get what you want out of life, so below I’ve touched on a few key steps to help you along in your journey.
Allow your imagination to wander.
This may sound a little crazy if the idea is new to you, but you have to allow yourself to dream. One of the biggest blocks to getting what you want out of life is stopping yourself from dreaming by shutting it down with “logic” and negativity. Everything you see around you from the weights at your gym, to the drive through restaurant you visited last night to the playground you hung in as a child was created by an average Jane or Joe just like you who allowed their imagination to guide them. As you dream you will get a closer look at your true passions which will guide you closer to what you really want.
Honor your word to yourself.
Getting what you want out of life requires your action and your dedication. Start by deciding on what you really want from the images you dream up and then set small, achievable steps to start moving you closer to these dreams. Honoring your word to yourself is one of the most crucial steps to creating the type of reality that aligns with your passions, however it also may be one of the hardest things for you to do. Staying disciplined and consistent is the key to big change in any area of your life…which is why so many people will spend their whole life doing the same thing and so few people will ever really live the life of their wildest dreams.
Be intentional about building relationships with people who are on a similar path as you.
If you look around you and all the closest people in your world are striving for nothing in their life, complaining about their jobs every day and despising the situation they’re in but doing nothing about it then it’s no wonder that you don’t yet have the things that you want. There came a time in my life when I’d had enough! I was so confused on what I wanted but I knew I wanted an incredibly satisfying life that included freedom, wealth, family and abundance. So I set out to surround myself with leaders, teachers and mentors that could support me in my journey. I invested in life coaches and business coaches, I pursued friendships with other men and women who wanted similar things as I. Support is so invaluable on the path to getting what you want out of life that I just can’t stress it enough.
Hustle…but don’t forget to flow.
If you’ve been around me long enough then you know I’m an advocate for discipline and consistency…you know, the hustle. But sometimes you have to release and trust that everything is working out for you exactly as it should. There have been times in my life that I’ve been hustling my butt off with few results but I maintained the faith that everything would work out, called on guidance from God and then stepped back just long enough for miracles to happen. When you get too caught up in the energy of trying to make things happen you can actually repel the thing it is that you really want the most. Let go of control and get into the flow so you can make space for all the wonderful things coming your way!
