This weekend I had the opportunity to spend time with several amazing women at two different events. Both events shared a common focus on creating a safe space activated by positive energy. At the first event, the host told us about an inspiring Steve Harvey video where he discussed the power of writing your intentions. He instructed his audience to write a list of 300 things that they wanted. Upon completion of this list he advised that they look at it every day, and he guaranteed that one year from now, at least 10% of the things on that list would materialize in their lives.
I was so intrigued by this concept that I showed the video at an event that I hosted the next day. When I got home, I began to write my list. After only having written about thirty items, I realized that I have truly cultivated a life that I love. It was extremely difficult to think of things that I wanted that I didn’t already have. If I had been asked to write that list just six years ago it would have been a breeze. But today, it served an even more powerful purpose than its original intent. It made me recognize that I already have most of the things that were once only hopeful goals or images on my vision boards. All of the time and resources that I have been investing in my own personal growth has been working. Since my desires were so few, after a while, I began to write the things that I want to happen for my family and close loved ones. This revelation gave me confirmation that I am being freed from a way of thinking that has held me captive for some time now. A poverty mindset. Russell Simmons describes it best in this quote from his book, Super Rich,
“When you have a poverty mindset, you’re going to believe that that object that will make you happy is always just outside your grasp.”
This week, I challenge you to write a different list. Write 300 things that you have right now. Pay special attention to the things that were once a dream but are now your reality. Notice what you discover. Celebrate what has already manifested in your life and watch how that gratitude will magnetize more than you ever could have hoped for. Manifestation Affirmations I have arrived. I am writing my vision and making it plain. I have all that I want and need.
Master Your Mind + Master Your Body + Master Your Money = Manifest a Life You Love
