Failure To Attract

The other day, I was walking back to my cube from the restroom with a conundrum settled into my brain. It had settled there a very long time ago and hadn’t really spoken up until lately - “What the hell am I going to do for a business?”

Well, as I traversed the long hallway between the good restroom (the bad one is worse than the name suggests) and the ‘floor’, I thought about my trip to Tampa, and setting intentions for what I want, and then about a conversation I had with my friend and client Heidi Walter about setting intentions, and about how important it is to set it and forget it, as it were. Obsessing about your intention or thinking about it all the time gets you negative results - and that’s where I was lacking. I find it difficult to let go.

So, all of a sudden, an apostrophe hit me as if lighting had struck my brain (”That must’ve hurt”) - what if there was a place for people to go where they could put their intentions down, and effectively set and forget?

So now I introduce you to http://www.setmyintentions.com, the first place out there to provide a community specifically designed around the techniques surrounding setting intentions successfully.

The site is not currently live, but in the process of being configured and set up, so look for it soon!

Hope to see you there,

Last post, I mentioned my trip to Florida.

All in all, it was a really great trip - got to see some people who I care very much for, who I can trust with anything and can always go to for support. Some of those gems you meet in life.

There was one person in particular, though, that I have felt certain… things… for, for quite a while. He’s an amazing person, and has more going for him with incredible opportunities ahead of him. This is a complete understatement, but if I started talking about him I probably would have trouble stopping!

His father is a high ranking administrator for a research facility, and they have a beautiful big house in an expensive neighborhood in Tampa. When I visited him, I got to meet his parents and see his house, and I realized exactly how well he was provided for.

And I’m not going to lie, after seeing everything he’s got going for him, I started to re-evaluated my worthiness for him.

It’s classic (maybe using different pronouns) - guy raised in a household with little money falls for guy raised in a household with a lot of money, and looks to the material to determine worth. It’s stupid, it’s silly, it’s something one should not get mired up in at all…

But in this instance, it’s a good thing.

Ever since that visit, I’ve felt highly motivated to better myself in many ways. Physically, mentally, emotionally, financially. It’s the external motivation I talked about before, and I hope that it translates into a more internal motivation to better myself, instead of wanting to do it to feel worthy for someone that I know that the word “worth” doesn’t even enter any equation between us.

The thing about it though, is that improving myself externally will also align myself internally, so that I wont even think about self worth - it’ll be apparent to me.

Luckily, I’ve come up with some really good ideas over the past few days and have purchased some killer domains, and already have something in the works…

I’ll post about that in a second.

I still find myself amazed at the kind of transformation I’ve taken in the past week. I’ve purchased more domains, come up with several ideas, and am actually following through with them. That’s a huge deal to me! And I’m still going strong.

So what I have to say to anyone out there reading this who lacks motivation to reach their goals… Just act. Move on it and something will happen to help move you in the right direction - it’s what happened to me.

I just got back from Florida yesterday.

I was visiting a few good friends, including my old roommate Avery whom I hadn’t seen in a while, as well as other people extremely dear to me. It was a good trip, but brought a few things to light about myself that I’m not happy with, and feel I need to eradicate. But that’s another story.

Another good byproduct of my trip, is realizing exactly how sedentary of a lifestyle I lead. I’ve always wanted to go forth and change that, but my motivation has never been there - something I’ve talked about before. After this trip, though, the motivation has slowly grown. Like an urge from the pit of my stomach it’s surged up through my body to my brain, and has sparked a genuine desire to move forward in all the things I have neglected; my physical, mental, and emotional growth, my online business/businesses, my creativity and productivity.

The downside to feeling all of this motivation is that it’s all external. It’s been inspired by outside events - albeit powerful ones - but it’s not the kind of motivation I’m looking for. Does that mean I’m just going to ignore it and go back to what I’ve been doing?

Absolutely not.

This has happened for a reason.

I’ve been putting it out there for a long time that I’ve wanted motivation to change and better myself and feel happier with myself and with life. And this is the Universe’s reply.

So, I’m keeping up the momentum from the friendly tug the Universe gave me and I’ve come up with a few interesting ideas, as well as figuring out some of the things I enjoy doing, that I could offer as a service, or create a video for.

I am moving on this, so expect an update in the next few days about a completed idea.
