Dr. Joe Vitale’s Blog

  We came home from Canada and found our pool broken, dry, and beyond repair.

If you came home and saw that, what would you think?

How would you explain how you attracted it?

This is a beautiful exercise in how to uncover your beliefs.

What you decide an event means is the belief that attracted the event.

Let me explain:

From a pure life standpoint, events are simply events. They have no meaning. It just “is”.

From a personal involvement with life standpoint, the meaning you give an event is very relevant.

When I looked at my pool and saw the damage, here are a few thoughts that I remember thinking:

1. This would be a great place for a car port.

2. This is a great opportunity to build a bigger and better pool.

I didn’t fall into a victim mentality.

I didn’t see the event as negative.

I didn’t regard the destruction as a reflection of my self-worth.

I did wonder how it happened. (A hair line crack in the side of the pool finally gave way under the weight of the water and split open.)

But wondering about the why is how we humans learn new ways to prevent something undesireable from happening again.

The lesson here is about how the meaning you give an event reflects the underlying beliefs that attracted it.

This is a new concept for many, so just sit with it.

PS – The meaning you give this blog post reflects your beliefs, too. 🙂

 Three hours in a stretch limo with Secret co-stars Lisa Nichols and John Assaraf can be enlightening and exhilarating.

Lisa spent time on the phone with her editor, working on her first book. She’s on a mission to help teenagers survive. I was so impressed I told her I would pay to bring her to Austin to do her special workshop for local kids. 

John and I talked about life, marketing, speaking, consulting, and more. He used the phrase “predictable transformation” to describe how his coaching program works: it’s designed to get results.  

I told him about my Miracles Coaching and Executive Mentoring programs. The same philosophy is behind both: do what is asked of you and you’ll get predictable results.

What I loved most about being in the limo with these two wonderful people is their energy. They aren’t caught up in the world of external reality. Instead, they are creating their external reality by what they are doing inside and outside themselves.

I also noticed that when I hang around upbeat people like them, my own energy and thoughts go up. I want to do even bigger and bolder things in my life.

There’s a lesson here for you, too. Choose your coaches and support team well and shoot for the moon in your goals.

 Your passion can take virtually any form and still lead to good money.

Take Larry Gardinier.

He’s a guy who wakes up in the morning and does what he loves all day: paint.

About a year ago I hired him to paint a stunning portrait of Francine, my 2005 Panoz Esperante GTLM exotic sports car.

A few weeks ago I hired him to paint a portrait of Francine on my favorite watch (a Teslar).

I never knew you could hire an artist to paint your car on the face of your watch.

Now that I have Steven Tyler’s 1998 Panoz AIV Roadster, I may have Larry paint it, as well.

Whatever you love can be turned into profit.

Larry is just one example.

His website is www.artracer.com

PS — The Teslar watch (which of course does not come with original art painted on the face of it) is at www.toolsforwellness.com/teslar-watches.html Just FYI.
