As a bestselling Author and inspirational Speaker, I wrote this report for you because I was in the same
place with the same questions. All the questions raised above and all the methodologies and concepts mentioned are things that I asked myself and applied in my own life, and yet I remained trying, struggling, striving to find my joy.No matter what you gain and gather and accumulate in the material world, sometimes it is not enough to fill the void inside of you. Going inside of yourself is the answer to finding your happiness. And yet, it is the one place we often run from. It was not until I discovered the missing key, the holy grail, that my life transformed forever.I had diligently applied teachings such as mind power, positive thinking and the universal Law of Attraction in my own life, but was still failing to keep myself fully aligned to my goals/dreams at all times, feeling lost and confused about why I couldn't 'find' happiness, but then I made a groundbreaking discovery.I found the one thing that no one had told me. I found the one thing that is not written about anywhere. Not only did I find that 'thing' but I also investigated it, researched it, interpreted it, and lived it for 18 months, documenting the evidence every single day. The result? I changed my life, found happiness and joy, transformed and then started sharing my groundbreaking story in books and articles. Here is what I learnt:
Go through your closets and discard clothing you have not worn in the past year - it might not even fit you now. Consider how many shoes a person really needs. Most people do not really need more than three or four pairs of shoes. Discard that which you do not need and make room for something else - you'll feel better if you do.Change can be good.Similarly, go through your refrigerator. When's the last time you cleaned that out? Do you really need to keep that near empty bottle of Soy sauce considering you haven't eaten Chinese food in more than a year? Toss it out! Make room in your refrigerator; make room in your life. You will feel better afterwards.
Go through your garage as well and consider what to keep and what to get rid of. Just knowing what you have in there will give you a better feeling, but move everything to one side and give the floor a good sweep, yes, even way back in that corner you haven't seen in more than a year. Clean it out, give yourself some open space - it will look better and you will feel better.Do you have items of furniture that you really don't care for now? They looked great last year or five years ago but now, not so great. Is it time to make a change? Does that couch cushion still feel good when you sit on it? Are the arms or legs becoming scuffed and tattered? What about that one chair or small table that just seems to always be in the way? Might it be time to give it the old heave-ho?
For any one goal or dream, there are millions of potential ways in which that goal or dream could come to fruition. Life offers us endless opportunities, paths and decisions to create what we desire. There is no 'one' way. The signals are not showing you the only way, they are simply guiding you forward in a way that will serve you well, should you wish to follow them.Think of signals like the Key on a map. It is certainly very possible to find your way to your destination without referring to the Key on your map, you will likely get there eventually unaided, but with the Key it's so much easier.Very simply put - you can create the life you want, turning your goals and dreams into reality, if you follow the signals.We often spend a lot of time trying to figure out 'how' to achieve what we want in our lives. But here is the trick - our main job is to define WHAT we want, and let the signals show us HOW to achieve it.Our logical minds can sometimes tell us why our goal or dream is not possible. Our minds will find barriers, risks, obstacles to analyse, and will worry and scheme, and wonder and ponder... that is normal.
But the universe is sending you wise and peaceful signals every day in reaction to what you say you want and if you let go of trying to work how to achieve what you desire and instead focus on the joy of what you want and follow the signals,you will be led towards your goals and dreams.signals can point you towards information that can help you by showing you how to overcome hurdles and introducing you to people you need to meet, offering you lessons you need to learn, providing encouragement at times you need it and creating beneficial helpful situations that literally leverage you towards the achievements of your goals and dreams.The type of signals you have received in the past (knowingly or unknowingly), the signals you are receiving right now and the signals you will continue to receive as long as you live, are wide and varied.There is literally no end to the type of signals you can receive. However, to get you started, below are some of the most common types of signals.At times we find ourselves in the most wonderfully synchronistic situations, and the most coincidental circumstances, that seem just too good to be true! It's like the sun, stars and moon aligned in our favour. We think that we have been very lucky, to have been in the right place at the right time, heard the right information or met the right person. We think - If I had been a bit earlier or a bit later, or had decided to go somewhere else, or hadn't attended... I would not have been so lucky.However, it is no coincidence that these things occur. These are big, bold, wonderfully helpful signals.Musical Signals:Songs can often pop into your head at random times, seemingly from nowhere. You didn't hear the song on the radio, you don't love the song and hadn't chosen to hum or sing the song. At times, just 'out of the blue', you realise you are humming or singing a song. Most often, it is really just a few lines of a song.It is not the music that is signalling you, it's the lyrics. Be alert for songs popping into your unexpectedly. Pay attention. Research the song on the internet, find the lyrics, see if the lyrics relate in some way to your current circumstances, to the goal/dream you have set for yourself, to any challenges you may currently be facing.
People Signals:There is a saying that goes - people come into our lives "for a reason, a season or a lifetime".They may be friends, family, acquaintances, work colleagues, clients, business contacts, neighbours, former companions, complete strangers and the list goes on.People can pop up unexpectedly in your day. People you have not seen in a long time may call or show up, trying to reconnect with you. You may be introduced to someone in a way that seems quite unusual or coincidentally very helpful. Strangers may approach you or cross your path.In relation to your goals and dreams, people can act as signals. They are moving of their own accord, in alignment with their own beliefs, thoughts and feelings, but the unseen powerful dimension in our Universe which works in response to energy, is weaving all sorts of people, situations and happenings to guide you.Pay attention - people may suggest something to you, they may make a passing comment to you, they may question you... people are powerful signals and they can literally hand you opportunities on a silver platter that are powerful signals to propel you towards your goals and dreams if you are alert for them.It is worth noting that sometimes we are so fixed on what we want (which is great!), but also become fixed on 'how' we think we will achieve it (not so great!). Remember - our job is to focus on what we want, and let the signals show us 'how'. If we become blinkered to the only way we think it is possible to achieve our goal/dream, we may miss opportunities. People signals are a very good example of this. People that we may consider meaningless in the sense of achieving our goals and dreams, could actually be the very means by which we could achieve these things powerfully. Everyone we meet in life has something to share. What can you learn from them? What do they know? Who do they know? What can they offer you? What can you offer them? Keep an open mind.Animal Signals.Animals are powerful signals. These are known as animal totems.If animal images/symbols, encounters with actual live animals or dreams of animals repetitively show up in your life, in an unplanned and random way, you may be receiving a signal by way of animal totem.Each different animal has a very specific meaning. In relation to your goal or dream, animals can come to guide you on what you need to know, what you may need to remember, pay heed to or consider at that particular time in your life. This information is widely available online and in books and you can easily research the meaning of animal if you think you are receiving an animal totem signal.
Television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, emails, signposts, billboards, advertising, websites... the list goes on. These are aspects of our every day lives.In relation to your goal or dream, these mediums for information, be it written, visual or audible, can all act as signals to guide you. Once you become alert to signals, you will start to notice recurring references to things in your day to day life, quite possibly very directly related to, or outright stating your goal or dream.In relation to your goal or dream, be it a career path you want to follow, a place you want to visit, a type of experience you want to have, look out for direct or related references to that as you go about your normal daily routine. Simply be aware and alert, really see the sights, really hear the sounds, be consciously in the moment and you'll be surprised by what you encounter.Dreams are not whimsical, fanciful mind movies that arrive from nowhere in a completely random way. Yes, they are fanciful and our dreams aren't necessarily 'real' in terms of a reflection of what is or might happen. However, they are your subconscious mind operating freely, and whilst the stories of your dreams in their fullness may not be telling you something, the images and events in your dreams can be very symbolic. They can reflect useful learnings for you and act as signals.There are plenty of resources available online and in books regarding dream symbology if you are interested in what your dreams may be signalling to you.At times we receive signals that are just too bizarre to categorise and let me just state that not all signals can be categorised. There are endless ways The Universe can send you signals.How do I recognise signals? There are several things you can do right now to start to recognise the signals that are being sent to you every day. However, one of these things is the absolute key to recognising signals.That key is... you must become AWARE.By reading and understanding the basic information about signals you are armed with knowledge. Even a little knowledge will get you started. There is nothing difficult about this way of living, following the signals is simple and fun. However, even armed with this simple information, without awareness you are blind to the signals. Awareness gives you the ability to recognise the signals that are being sent to you.
And when we awake we are not rested. We may have been thinking and dreaming about problems at work or in our personal lives, some may suffer sleep apnea, while outside sources such as loud parties next door or noisy neighbors or the couple in the next apartment who screamed at each other all night may have interrupted our sleep several times through the night.A body that is not rested means a mind that is not rested. It makes for a very difficult day, so do your best to get enough sleep.Set a certain time to go to bed and stick to it. Your body needs a 'pattern'; it needs to do certain things at the very same time each day.If you make time for 'you' and get to sleep at the same time each night, exercise every day and do what you can to eliminate external influences in our life so you can get quality sleep, you will awake rested and ready to go.You will feel much better and your life will go much better in return.
Make a plan.Skyscrapers are never built unless a plan has been prepared first. Your life is no different. A plan will help you set goals and goals are important. If you don't know where you are going you could end up going where you never wanted to go, so make a plan.There are short-term plans as well as long-term plans and you should make both.Begin with a short-term plan. What do you want to do tomorrow? Where do you want to go and how will you get there? What do you want to accomplish while you are there and why? Making such a plan will give you cause to think about things you have not considered? What do you want to do next week? Make a plan for the entire week, not just one day of the week.What about next month? What do you want to accomplish next month? Having a better idea will help you make the time to do that and you will begin to make better use of your time.Work your way up to a one-year plan. Where do you want to be one year from today? Why do you want to be there? How will you get there?The answer is one day at a time.
