Shape Your Success

In order to create what you want, you have to build a tolerance for getting what you want. You read that right – NOT a tolerance for what you don’t want but a tolerance for what you DO want. Right now, there are lots of people who haven’t built that tolerance or have lost there tolerance because of everything that seems to be going wrong around them. We have to build this tolerance for success, well-being, being happy, whatever it is that you want to increase and build it like a muscle. There are very few people who can skip the building up the muscle part of success.

Cheryl Richardson, Life Coach and author of Stand Up For Your Life, mentioned a great little tid bit last about conscious creation and building that muscle. Years ago when she was just learning about conscious creation she decided to imagine every day that she would create something new each day. She started out with things that didn’t mean that much to her, which made it easier to follow through in the beginning. If you ask for something that you desire, need or want too much, you’ll create a stopper instead of allowing it. So she imagined a big, juicy, succulent rent tomato and kept imagining it for several minutes. She then proceeded to go about her day and that very morning as she was driving to work a produce truck pulled up along side her at the stop light. There on the side of the truck was a beautiful, large, juicy looking tomato. She was amused, but still wasn’t quite sure that it wasn’t a coincidence. So the next day she decided she wanted to see a Rolls Royce. She had never seen one in her area before so that would help make her a believer if she did. The next day she saw two of them.

When she told me about this, I decided to try this experiment myself. I thought of a marshmallow – they’re not a familiar site in my life. So I meditated on this and forgot about it. (Remember one of the keys to magnetizing something is to not obsess about it.) That evening, I decided to relax in front of the TV for a little bit and a commercial came on with somewhat peculiar photographs. One of those photographs what an adorable white kitten laying on a bed of marshmallows. I love feeling amazed and allow myself to feel it a lot and this was one of those times.

Now I keep a log of all the small and large things I create in my life including how long it takes them to come in. It makes it a fun game for me. Could that work for you?

This week’s experiment:

1. Choose something to meditate on that you would like to see in your life. Pick something small and not to significant like I did. One magnificent thing about this experiment is that you don’t even have to believe it will work.

2. Write down what you are attracting and make a place for how long it takes for it to come in.

3. Let me know your results. The first three people to give me their feedback on how they did with this experiment will receive my Shape Your Success system “Fearless Public Speaking.”
