"Law of Attraction" often gets misconstrued, because it is associated to the belief that if I want it, I can make it happen by thought alone. Thought can bring the opportunities, but there is another component often missed that must happen first and that is the feeling. Without this, the entire formula falls apart. Once on "feel" it is then your responsibility to find the right strategy and to continue taking the necessary steps to close the gap. More of that in this episode.

Most people spend their entire life dressed without ever giving a single thought. And so what it is they really want, and what's important. Let me have a couple of noise connecting you yourself and the life that you have meant to live. I'm the host company. Welcome to the podcast. One life. Growing rich is having the ability to bring each of your desires to fruition. Because it is in those desires, right? We are all unique. We are all given these unique imprint for our own happiness. And it is in going towards that that we achieve that that blissful life, that that life that's filled with joy. So it is in that journey. And I'm going to share here how to literally break that apart so that it's easy for you to understand and to obtain. So first let me tell you why it is so important. As I mentioned before, whenever you go for something that lights you up, how do you show up in the world? How do you show up to your family, your friends? You show up as a different person. As a result, the impact you have just by your sheer presence changes the lives of others. But now let's look at it from when you figured it out. When you figured out the game, and you're able to get any result that you want, what are you able to give? What are you able to share? Not just with your loved ones, but what is the impact you want to have on the world? That is why what I am about to share with you is so important. So, first, let me tell you a story. So I was brewing coffee, and this is one of those tasks where it's so easy for me to let my mind wander because the task is very repetitive. Doing the espresso, doing all my stuff, putting in the bottle. It's kind of the same process over and over. And in while I was listening to that, I was listening to the book Thinking Grow Rich. And they were breaking down the science or the strategy for getting whatever it is that you want, whatever your desire is. And I was as I was listening, I realized that it's very much the same thing that one that each and every single one of us has done at some point in our life, if there's anything that you desired, and is now in your reality, you have put this, you've used this system, you've used this strategy. And so it's just a matter of understanding what is it that you did in order to get that success. So this way you can repeat it. As I was listening to this book, it was bringing to mind the results that I had prior. And while I was having such a hard time move feeling like I was having a hard time moving forward, you'd probably heard me many times on this podcast where I'm talking about the Cold Rome, and I talked about how it's so mundane and it seems like it's so difficult to move forward. That highlights problem number one right there. The language I was using, the language was actually making it very, very difficult. Because our language colors our experience. So as I was listening to this, I was like, well, thinking about it, like what is it that I really want? What is the desire, right? Because before you can do anything, you have to know where you're going. Like, what is the endpoint? So as I was thinking about what it was that I wanted, and I was thinking about what is the strategy to get there, right? And it's not enough just to say, well, this is what I want. It's never enough just to know what you want. You're well, you might say, Well, what do you mean it's not enough to know what I want? Of course, you of course you have to take action too, but is that enough? I'm gonna tell you, no, it isn't. Because in order to sustain, you have to keep that vision, you have to keep that desire at the forefront of your mind. And also, in order to sustain, you have to literally flood your entire experience with what it is gonna feel like once you've gone that, right? This is where the whole law of attraction component comes in. You have to know what it's gonna feel like when you get it. And while you may be like, well, what do you mean? And I'm gonna give you um a kind of like a metaphor to make it easier for you. Think about you know what a lemon tastes like, right? I want you to close your eyes right now. And I want you to imagine that you are holding a lemon in your hand. Now imagine yourself raising that lemon up to your mouth, taking a bite out of that lemon, and l and just squeezing it in your mouth and chewing it. Now tell me, when I told you to do that, how did you feel? What sensations happened? What were the visualizations? What were you picturing in your mind? If you've had a lemon before, which I think is 99.9% of the people listening to this right now, then chances are you you saw the lemon in your hand because you're you're very familiar with what a lemon looks like. You saw the lemon, you took a bite, and you probably even s squinched, like squeezed your face because you anticipated the sour taste of the lemon. But there was no lemon. So what gives? The example, what you just experienced here is the same thing that you must apply to every single one of your desires. So as I was sitting here brewing, and this is this is what goes to the second point, I wasn't feeling into what my end goal was, was to build it to a certain level and and then eventually let go of cold rum and have someone else grow it even further, like sell off the brand, keeping intact the integrity of the process. And as I was thinking about this, I also thought about the second point which I want to say is action. So a lot of the time, a lot of people we we feel like oh, it's taking too long, it's not happening fast enough. When in reality, it's happening exactly in the right time it is supposed to happen. The big aha moment I have was realizing that every step that I was taking, the small steps forward were actually inching me closer to my end result. But I was so fixated on not being there yet that it was just causing so much internal stress and also, you know, different inputs from other people. Like I had my own internal critic who was like, why isn't this happening? I'm not doing enough. I gotta keep going. And as a result, I'd feel like I was burning out. I would lose interest in what I was doing. I and feeling that it was not happening, I was like, well, what's the point? Like, why is it taking so long? I and feeling like I wanted to give up, but there's a part of me that never gives up. Thankfully, I have a higher attraction or a higher connection to that person in my, in my in my psyche. It's one of the things that's kept me going for so long. But when looking, when I realized that it is the steps that are I'm taking that are the process is working because as I take each step, something new comes in my life, right? Each problem brings the equivalent of it, a it's an equal success. I'll say that again. Each problem brings the equivalent of its equal success. Meaning every problem you have is teaching you something. So all the steps I was going, now all of a sudden I was able to see, wow, this is really bringing me to my end destination. Instead of fighting it, why don't I just allow it? And I will I get to the NSH 100%. 100%. I'll tell you right here, you could look at my eyes and you know that I'm serious about where I'm taking this. It is that kind of desire, that kind of uh certainty you need in order to achieve any single one of your goals. And then as I was looking at this, I thought about well, how does this apply in my life, right? Like, how does that lemon bite play into all the other desires that I've had, all the other successes that I've experienced? I just recently booked a trip to Asia. Woo! Hands up here. Um, I'm going to Malaysia and Indonesia. I'm gonna go seek out different coffee culture uh at this place called Ipo in Malaysia, and then I'm gonna go experience uh different Javanese culture, uh coffee traditions. So I'm super stoked about it. Leading up to that experience, right? I I would go, I would ebb and flow. I'd be like, oh my God, I'm so excited. But because I hadn't booked the trip yet, I would kind of pull back and like, man, I feel like it's never gonna happen. Then I would get excited because I'd watch a YouTube video, then I'd pull back like, man, I feel like it's never gonna happen. Right? So the the one of the secrets was right in this experience as I'm explaining it to you. I'll get all excited, then I would doubt it with my words and with my feelings. But when I would watch a video, now all of a sudden I was in it again. I was feeling it through the experience of the person I was watching on the screen. Once I book the trip, all of a sudden, what I did is I cut off all other possibilities, right? Once you commit to it, once you book that trip, and I we could use booking the trip for anything you want in life, anything that you do where you cut off all other options. Like I cut off the option and now I'm there. Now I have to take the trip because it's not refundable. Because non-refundable is a little bit less expensive than having a refund option. Plus, it locks you in. So as a result of being locked in, now all of a sudden, now, like all the experiences I'm getting, I'm getting excited. I'm super excited. I'm looking at the places I'm gonna be traveling to, I'm researching the hostels I'm gonna be staying in, I'm researching coffee culture. And then all of a sudden, all these other possibilities became available to me. Like the idea of like I wanted to do a coffee series. I wanted to travel around the world and start recording my uh the experiences I'm having, the adventures I have in coffee. So once that became available, I'm like, well, I have a I have a long stopover in Seoul, I'll do a I'll do a video series in Seoul, then I'll do it when I'm in Malaysia, and then I'll do it in Indonesia. Now all of a sudden, all of these other things, all these other desires that I had are coming to fruition. They're they're popping out again because I gave myself that window of opportunity. And it came through taking the action. It also came from following my heart. If you know me, you know travel is one of the biggest joys in my life. When I'm there, I am fully connected. Which maybe brings up another lesson. Maybe you need to connect more to what it is that you love, what it is that makes your heart sing. Because when you connect, now all of a sudden you allow other things to come in because you're just in a peak state. So I looked at this experience of booking that trip. I'm like, no, of course. Like it, I'm already I'm already there. Like, I haven't even experienced the trip yet. But yet the words that I'm using around that trip, I'm like, oh, it's gonna be fucking insane. It is gonna be epic, it's gonna be epic. I literally just I found myself kept repeating the same words. I'm like, it's gonna be epic, it's gonna be epic, it's gonna be epic, it's gonna be awesome, it's gonna be epic. As I'm saying this, I'm getting more animated and like my my whole body starting to I vibrate because I I know it's gonna be an amazing time. Like, what do you mean? How do you know? Because I'm like, because I always have an amazing time when I travel, which brings me to a belief system that completely completes that circle. So, what I want you to come away with this is one realizing that you have done this success cycle in the past, you've done the law of attraction, and it is always working. It's just a matter of where are you putting your focus? Like putting your focus to what you want, to putting it towards what you don't want, require the same amount of attention and energy. It's just that you've overbeen using one aspect of it, and as a result, your mind has an easier time going to that less empowering that bullshit. But both things are available to you. And so I want you to take an inventory of your life right now. Like take a moment, if you're driving pullover, and just ask myself, where have I been allowing my mind to go? What am I been focusing on? What have I been feeling? And where have I been putting the words that I use? And what has been the result? I also want you to write down, take a just a mental, take a mental journal note or entry. Think about something you you had acquired, a desire that you brought to fruition. What was it like when you had that desire? Think about the entire journey. When you thought about it, was it vivid? Was it, you know, was it like very big in front of your face? Did you feel it? Or did it feel far away? Were your words exciting? Were your words positive and felt like it was bringing it towards you, or were they negative like it was and you would say it would never happen? I know in both cases it's always the first point because you brought it into your life, because you've made it reality, it's because you kept it clear, because because you felt it, and it's because your words catered to you having it. So, the in closing, there's one action I want you to take. I want you to write down a desire that you have right now. What is a desire you have in your life and why is it so important for you to have this desire? And I want you to bite the lemon, right? Bite the lemon and just think about what does it feel like in order to have that right now. You don't need to achieve it to have the uh feel those emotions of having. You just need to focus on it and what it feels like and approach it from a sense of certainty that it is gonna happen, and trust me, it will if you just keep on going. And then the last step is burn the, you know, book the trip, right? Meaning, book the trip is another term just to say close off all other options, meaning when you say this is the path I'm going, nothing is gonna deter me from it. When you cut off all other options, you have nowhere to go but forward. You're burning your boat. Do that, and I promise you will see yourself make massive progress and moves towards that desire. And when you get there, all of a sudden you're gonna be like, of course. I mean, I knew what was gonna happen. You were gonna have such a big sense of certainty that you're gonna look for that next mountain to conquer. So I tell you this because I want you guys to live the most passionate versions of your life. You deserve to be happy, you deserve to live the most passionate version of your life because as a result of doing so, that is where you're gonna have the greatest impact on your families, your friends, and the greater world because you are bringing the best part of you to that world.
