You are a badass. You were one when you came screaming onto this planet and you are one now. The Universe wouldn’t have bothered with you otherwise. You can’t screw up so majorly that your badassery disappears. It is who you are. It’s who you always will be. It’s not up for negotiation. You get to choose how you perceive your reality. So why, when it comes to perceiving yourself, would you choose to see anything other than a super huge rock star of a creature?
We’re on a planet that somehowknows how to rotate on its axis and follow a defined path while it hurtles through space! Our hearts beat! We can see! We have love, laughter, language, living rooms, computers, compassion, cars, fire, fingernails, flowers, music, medicine, mountains, muffins! We live in a limitless Universe overflowing with miracles! The fact that we aren’t stumbling around in an inconsolable state of sobbing awe is appalling. All the stuff we’re so worried about creating and fixated on becoming is already right here, right now. The money you want already exists; the person you want to meet is already alive; the experience you want to have is available, now; the idea for that brilliant song you want to write is here, now, waiting for you to download the information. The knowledge and insight and joy and connection and love are all wagging their hands in your face, trying to get your attention. The life you want is right here, right now.
If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.—Nokola Tesla. Wherever you happen to stand on the God issue, let me just say that that this whole improving your life thing is going to be a lot easier if you have an open mind about it. Call it whatever you want — God, Goddess, The Big Guy, The Universe, Source Energy, Higher Power,The Grand Poobah, gut, intuition, Spirit, The Force, The Zone, The Lord, The Vortex, The Mother Lode—it doesn’t matter. The Universe, The Vortex, Spirit, The Mother Lode (all of which I will use interchangeably throughout this book, FYI). Whatever you choose to call it isn’t important, what is important is that you start to develop an awareness of, and a relationship with, the Source Energy that’s surrounding you and within you (which is all the same energy), and which will be your best pal ever if you give it a chance.
You can start out with nothing, and out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made.—Reverend Michael Bernard. it’s not your fault that you’re fucked up. It’s your fault if you stay fucked up, but the foundation of your fuckedupedness is something that’s been passed down through generations of your family, like a coat ofarms or a killer cornbread recipe, or in my case, equating confrontation with heart failure.

What you resist, you attract, because you are powerfully focused on it with emotion. To change anything, go within and emit a new signal with your thoughts and feelings.You cannot help the world by focusing on the negative things. As you focus on the world's negative events, you not only add to them, but you also bring more negative things into your own life.Instead of focusing on the world's problems, give your attention and energy to trust, love, abundance, education, and peace.We will never run out of good things because there's more than enough to go around for everyone. Life is meant to be abundant.

If you are feeling a little unwell, don't talk about it —unless you want more of it. If you lis- ten to people talk about their illness, you add energy to their illness. Instead, change the conversation to good things, and give powerful thoughts to seeing those people in health.Beliefs about aging are all in our minds, so release those thoughts from your consciousness. Focus on health and eternal youth.Do not listen to society's messages about diseases and aging. Nega- tive messages do not serve you.
The question frequently asked is, "When a person has manifested a disease in the body temple or some kind of discomfort in their life, can it be turned around through thepower of 'right' thinking?" And the answer is absolutely, yes. All stress begins with one negative thought. One thought that went unchecked, and then more thoughts came and more, until stress manifested. The effect is stress, but the cause was negative think- ing, and it all began with one little negative thought. No matter what you might have manifested, you can change it... with one small positive thought and then another. love and gratitude will dissolve all negativity in our lives, no matter what form it has taken. Love and gratitude can part seas, move mountains, and create miracles. And love and gratitude can dissolve any disease.
In today’s episode we talked about how you should treat yourself. When you want to attract a relationship, make sure your thoughts, words, actions, and surroundings don't contradict your desires.Your job is you. Unless you fill yourself up first, you have nothing to give anybody.Treat yourself with love and respect, and you will attract people who show you love and respect.When you feel bad about yourself, you block the love and instead you attract more people and situations that will continue to make youfeel bad about you.Focus on the qualities you love about yourself and the law of attra- tion will show you more great things about you.To make a relationship work, focus on what you appreciate about the other person, and not your complaints. When you focus on the strengths, you will get more of them.
Think about what you have asked for, and make sure that your actions are mirroring what you expect to receive, and that they're not contradicting what you've asked for. Act as if you are receiv- ing it. Do exactly what you would do if you were receiving it today, and take actions in your life to reflect that powerful expec- tation. Make room to receive your desires, and as you do, you are sending out that powerful signal of expectation.

The cardinal rule of behavior change reminds us that success lies in balancing immediate and delayed rewards. While our brain naturally seeks instant gratification, embracing delayed gratification leads to more significant achievements. It requires training our minds to find joy in the process, to celebrate small victories along the way, and to associate immediate satisfaction with habits. On the other hand, habits of avoidance, such as curbing frivolous spending or abstaining from alcohol, can be challenging to maintain due to the absence of immediate action. In these cases, making avoidance visible and tangible becomes crucial. Creating a designated savings account labeled for something you desire, and depositing the money you save from avoiding impulsive purchases, gives you a tangible reward and satisfaction.

Through intentional mental reconstruction, you begin to shape new images and vibrations, effectively creating a vibrant future.Remember, it's never too late to redefine the pictures of your future.
In Chapter 14, James Clear discusses the importance of making small changes that compound over time. He calls this the "two-minute rule." The two-minute rule states that if you can do something for two minutes, you're more likely to stick with it. This is because it's easier to start something small than it is to start something big.He provides a number of examples of how the two-minute rule can be applied to different areas of life. For example, if you want to start exercising, you could start by doing two minutes of jumping jacks. If you want to start writing, you could start by writing for two minutes. And if you want to start learning a new language, you could start by learning two new words.He argues that by making small changes that compound over time, you can eventually achieve your goals. He says that "the key to success is not to do something extraordinary. It's to do something ordinary, but consistently.
Many people, particularly in Western societies, chase "time" and complain that they don't have enough time. Well, as someone says that they don't have enough time, so it must be by the law of at- traction. If you have been chasing your tail with thoughts of not having enough time, from now on declare emphatically, "I have more than enough time," and change your life.You can also turn waiting into a powerful time to create your fu- ture life. Next time you are in a situation where you are waiting, seize that time and imagine having all the things you want. You can do this anywhere, anytime. Turn every life situation into a positive one!
In chapter 13 of Atomic Habits, James Clear discusses the Two-Minute Rule, a simple but effective way to overcome procrastination. The rule states that if you have a task that you've been putting off, commit to working on it for just two minutes. After two minutes, you can stop if you want to. But most of the time, you'll find that you're motivated to keep going.The Two-Minute Rule is based on the idea that it's easier to continue doing something than it is to start something new. So by committing to just two minutes of work, you're making it easy for yourself to get started.
In the words of Bob Doyle - “Size is nothing to the Universe. It is no more difficult to attract, on a scientific level, something that we consider hugeto something that we consider infinitesimally small.The Universe does everything with zero effort. The grass doesn't strain to grow. It's effortless. It's just this great design.It's all about what's going on in your mind. It's about what we put in place, saying, ''This is big, it's going to take some time." And, "This is small. I'll give it an hour." Those are our rules that we define. There are no rules according to the Universe. You provide the feelings of having it now; it will respond—whatever it is.”

Today’s podcast we discussed the process of finding and fixing the causes of our bad habits. It starts with a story about quitting smoking and how a book helped change the perception of smoking by reframing the underlying motives and associations. It explains that our habits are attempts to address these motives, and that the same underlying motive can be addressed in different ways. How reframing habits and associating them with positive experiences can make them more attractive. Ultimately, we encourage listeners to reframe their habits and predictions to transform hard habits into attractive ones. Habits are all about associations. Our brains absorb information, notice cues in the environment, and make predictions about what actions to take. Life may feel reactive, but in reality, it is predictive. We are constantly predicting and guessing how
To make our habits more attractive, it's beneficial to join a culture where our desired behavior is the norm.

Belonging to a group and sharing a common identity reinforces our personal identity and helps us sustain new behaviors.

The key is to trust the process and have faith that the Universe will bring you what you want. Stay positive, focus on what you desire, and take the necessary steps with belief and confidence. Even if you can't see the whole path ahead, just take the first step in faith, and the rest will unfold as you go.
Now, Chapter 8 takes us to the next level by introducing strategies to make our habits irresistible. We will see how motivation alone is not enough to sustain long-term habit changes. We need to design our environment in a way that makes the desired habits easier and more attractive. So, how do we go about doing that?The concept of "temptation bundling." This strategy involves pairing a habit that we want to do but may find difficult or unattractive with something we enjoy. By linking a habit we need to work on with a reward we love, we make it more appealing and increase the chances of sticking to it.
