Secret

I’m amazed at what you can find on YouTube. I just saw that Napoleon Hill, author of the classic book Think and Grow Rich, is there. See it by clicking on the below image or by going to www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GCaEZscfvA. Amazing. Just amazing. I’m waiting for someone to find a clip of Jesus raising the dead or Buddha sitting under the bodhi tree. What’s next?

I just interviewed Will Bowen, author of the best book of 2007, A Complaint Free World, for my Hypnotic Gold members.

The interview was fantastic, as I expected it to be, but the ending really blew me away.

That’s when I spontaneously asked Will what Oprah had to say about him, his book, and his movement.

He then told me the most amazing thing:

“Between takes Oprah leaned over to me and said, ‘I have nothing to complain about’.

“At first I thought she meant she had nothing to complain about because she’s Oprah and life is good.

“But we talked and I learned that her life is so great because she doesn’t complain to begin with. She always focuses on what she wants. Her not complaining created the Oprah we see.”

I love this story.

I love how it illustrates that you don’t get to a place of comfort and then stop complaining; you instead stop complaining right now and from here notice, create, and attract your comfort.

Most of us want to get there and then start. 

It’s similar to people who want to get rich before they start giving money away.

That’s not how the universe seems to work.

You don’t wait.

You start now.

Start focusing on what you want and only on what you want.

Start giving money away and continue to give money away.

It sure works for Oprah.

And Will.

And me.

PS – My birthday on December 29th was wonderful. Over 150 people sang Happy Brithday to me. Thank you for your cards and emails and good wishes. I love you.

 On January 4th you can hear me being interviewed on Spirits Evolving radio. See www.spiritsevolving.com and mark your calendar. (Click on the image for details.)

 The other day my Subliminal Manifestation partner Mark Ryan and my Inspired Marketing coauthor Craig Perrine got to experience the exhilaration of a ride in Steven Tyler (Aerosmith)’s rare 1998 Panoz AIV Roadster, which I now own and call Ladybug.

They also got to drive the car.

They were like little kids experiencing their first roller coaster thrill ride.

But the really interesting experience took place after we were done driving and drooling and stood around the car, admiring her.

Craig noticed that a ladybug landed on the car.

When I first received the car a few months ago, and wondered what to name it, a ladybug landed on it.

I rarely see ladybugs here in Texas. I’m sure they’re here; I just don’t look for them. Seeing one land on Steven Tyler’s car seemed telling. So I named the Roadster “Ladybug” right then and there.

Craig and Mark took turns trying to take a clear picture of the bug on my Ladybug. (That’s Craig above.) They both knew it would be great blog material. 🙂

   Synchronicities like these are how I learn I’m on the right path. They are green flags.

Whenever I have a decision to make, I look for signs that I’m making the right one. “Right” meaning appropriate for me, not necessarily for you or anyone else.

I’ve written about signs and green/red flags before, of course. In The Attractor Factor I told the story of seeing a street sign that helped me decide what to do when I worked at a job I disliked.

The road sign was “Quitman.”

My mind read it as a command: “Quit man” as in “Quit the job, man!”

Here’s an example from today:

I heard comedian Steve Martin just published a new book, his autobiography, titled Born Standing Up. I like Martin and was curious about the book, but I didn’t run out and buy it.

But then I saw a review of it in a magic magazine.

And then another review in another magazine.

And then someone sent me an Amazon gift certificate.

I bought the book, and something curious happened.

Amazon sent it to me overnight – and they sent two copies.

I guess I’m supposed to read it twice.

Turns out the book is riveting. It shows how much hard work goes into creating an “overnight” success.

But that’s not the point of this blog post.

The point is to watch for the “ladybugs” in your life.

Try this: When you are considering getting a gift for someone for the holiday next week, see if there are signs that resonate with you suggesting what to get or affirming a choice you already made.

This is a fun way to enjoy each moment, as the signs remind you that you are one with all there is.

Enjoy.

PS – If you celebrate Christmas, please have a merry one. And if you don’t, please have a merry one anyway.

Note: I have no idea what kind of ladybug landed on my car. Coccinellids are found worldwide, with over 5,000 species and more than 450 native to North America alone. Who knows what kind Texas has. So don’t ask.  🙂
