I promise that if you let go...it will be yours.

In this monologue Aaron Doughty argues that true fulfillment and abundance arise when we release attachment to outcomes and surrender to a higher, divine flow. He explains that the resistance we feel stems from a belief that control equals safety, and that this attachment fuels familiar but often limiting patterns. By shifting focus from outcome‑driven goals to the present‑moment state of "being," we align with a higher vibration that naturally attracts opportunities. Doughty illustrates this principle through his own experience running live events: when he stops forcing a pre‑designed 3‑day program into a 2‑day format and instead follows the spontaneous energy of the crowd, the events feel more alive, generate better content, and bring greater financial and personal reward. He extends the same philosophy to his content creation, favoring unscripted Instagram Lives and podcast interviews that arise from genuine excitement rather than rigid planning. Doughty also promotes his free community, the High Vibe Tribe, where he hosts regular live meditations and encourages members to practice letting go, raise their vibration, and live from their zone of genius. Throughout, he emphasizes that letting go is a conscious choice, that the "why" behind attachment is a false premise, and that embracing the state of being unlocks magic in all areas of life, including relationships, love, and career.

I'm gonna make a prediction, and that is that if you let go of what you have been attached to, if you let go of the outcome, if you let go of trying to make things happen, if you let go of it and you surrender it to the divine, things will work out better than you can even have imagined. But you have to let go. And even as I say let go right now, you might be like, how do I let go? How do I do it? What are the steps I take to let go? And the question you really wanna ask yourself is why am I holding on? Why am I holding on? Do I believe that in order to feel safe in my reality, I must control what is happening? I must intend. I must visualize. And if I visualize it in my mind, if I feel it as if it's here now, then I'll experience exactly what's in my mind. Certainty. What if I can then be right about reality? Don't you know life's not fair? Don't you know that people leave? Don't you know that I am responsible for other people's emotions and energies? Those are the beliefs that we have that keep us attached. So when you're talking about letting go, the reason it's hard to let go is because you get something out of the attachment. The attachment allows you to feel like you are right about reality, and the attachment allows you to feel in familiar energies that keep activated stories that maybe no longer serve you. So the process of letting go, it's really a simple choice. You just let something go. And what's funny is any area of my life I look at, the more I let go of outcome, of trying to force things to happen, and the more I get into the vibration of being, that's where things really begin to shift. Think of these two energies. One is, it is my job as the ego to control everything, to make things happen, Instead of giving it up to the divine, I must do it because I must manage safety. I must feel safe. Even if safe is in the familiar, it's in the known. So what happens is we create resistance, and instead the vibration of being is when you're being it because it's who you choose to be and because you recognize that what you think of as control doesn't actually, first off, get you what you think you want, but also, even if you got everything and you felt completely in control, life would become boring. Life would literally be so boring. Imagine if everything you thought of, you immediately experienced, everything that you want from other people, they just started giving you, you would eventually get tired of it. You see that sometimes that people say, oh, I would like to be Justin Bieber famous. I would love that. I would feel so worthy, whole and complete. You would for about a week. And then every single time you go out, people swarming around you, asking you questions, trying to get a viral moment over weeks and weeks and weeks, you'd eventually not want it anymore. You'd get tired of it. This thing you thought you wanted, you would eventually get sick of. Very often you think, oh, I want the money, right? I want a certain amount of money. So what happens is you're like, you see people that retire because they sell their company for hundreds of millions or billions of dollars and then they become depressed because maybe there's not a purpose. Maybe they're not in the being energy of doing what they love. It's not the end result that's gonna make you happy. And attachment is a complete attachment to the end result in the false belief that this thing is going to lead to happiness. This thing is gonna lead to safety. This thing's gonna lead to familiarity. Well, it might lead you to familiarity, but familiar may be unpleasant. It may be toxic. It may be keeping you in dynamics and friendships that don't really serve you. Resonate with you at a deep level. And what I've been learning to do is to just focus on the lifestyle of being the version of me I choose to be, which means getting into the frequency and loving the process, having fun with the process. I recognize that my zone of genius is what I've been enjoying is running live events. I'm getting ready here in a couple days to fly to Austin to run a 2-day live event, then I'm coming back to LA. I'm gonna be running a 2-day event here. December 7th and 8th. Maybe I'll have this go out before the live event happens. If you wanna sign up, I'll go ahead and link it below. But I'm doing a 2-day event here, December 7th and 8th. And I even had an epiphany around the way I run live events because I love running live events. But what I did because of safety, think about this. So I ran a live event in Austin at the beginning of the year and I ran a 2-day live event. And what I did is it was supposed to be a more free flow event where I'm able to engage with the crowd, get content basically, 'cause I love, it's fun to make, do the live event, help people get transformations through like the safe space and what we do, but also to get content for Instagram and YouTube. But what I ended up doing is defaulting to trying to turn one of my signature programs, which is a 3-day transformative experience called the Shift Experience, I tried shoving that into 2 days out of a pattern of like, oh, this, I really want people to transform to the deepest level, so I'm gonna make a 3-day experience a 2-day experience. And I could tell it went well for everybody that was there, but it was like, it wasn't what it was meant to be. What I'm actually excited about is getting into the unknown of engaging with the crowd more, answering questions more, more interaction, more me, whatever information and energy is meant to come through when I get on stage in the unknown, that's the best content. When I start these YouTube videos, the best videos are the videos where I don't even really know exactly what I'm gonna be talking about because it's a stream of consciousness, it's a flow state, and that flow state is enjoyable. But if I try to structure it and I try to plan it, I end up butchering it up. So in an interesting way, I'm recognizing that this next 2-day event that I start, I start doing 1 and 2-day events as I travel. I'll be going to Miami after that in the beginning of 2025. It's more so what wants to come through, what meditations are good for the group, connecting to it in the moment, not needing to have it all figured out. That's where the most magic happens. But if I'm attached to, no, I need this specific 3-day experience to happen in 2 days, I end up limiting myself and feeling more stifled. So interestingly enough, the more I am able to get into the vibration of excitement of doing what I love, the more abundance, money, and everything comes because it's an energetic frequency state. So what I'm saying is letting go is really more about becoming aware of instead of focusing on the end result outcome, focus on the present moment state. Following your excitement. More money comes as a result of more energy, more alignment. So I recognize that the more I get into the frequency of running live events and not forcing myself to make videos and content, the higher vibration will then bring new opportunities, synchronicities, and people into my life. But that comes from focusing instead on end result and outcome, focusing on the present moment right now, right here, right now. This is where the magic happens. And instead of focusing on the outcome, focus on your state, following the thread of excitement. And you know, based on trying different things, sometimes I think we need to get out and try different things to find out the contrast of what do I like, what do I not like? And I've done this in many ways, even through creating content here on YouTube. For example, I realize one way I've been creating content recently is just following the thread of excitement. When I go live on Instagram, I have— that's like one of my favorite ways to go live if it's not in person, which is my absolute favorite. It's to do it live on Instagram. And then what I've been doing is recording with two camera angles Me doing it, going live in that energy of me not knowing what I'm gonna talk about, just getting on live, interacting with people for like 40 minutes. That thing gets clipped up to a YouTube video. And that for me is one of the best ways I believe I can serve the people that watch my content. It's one of the best ways because I'm interacting with them. Whereas another way I was looking at creating content, for example, was I was realizing I'm more passionate when people are pulling energy and information out of me. So I was having someone on my team pull information out of me. But what I realized is having my actual audience do it pulls out a different side of me because it's the people I'm actually serving. So the live Instagram thing is a way to do that. Going live in person at live events is a way to do that. And that's what I'm gonna be, that's what I'm moving into. But letting go is one of the necessary components of this shift in consciousness is really what it is. We're shifting from focusing on outcome and trying to get our needs met and staying in familiar energy into being, following the thread of being. You can even apply this towards when you go on dates. If you're dating or in your relationship, if you're focused on outcome and trying to get something from them, that's resistance. If you focus on enjoying the moment, connecting with the other person, vulnerability, not because of what it gets you, what it opens up in them, because of it's who and how you choose to live and who you choose to be. That's where the most magnetic energy is. That's where the most power is. So why is it so hard to, why is it, how do you let go is really more so why are you holding on and letting go of that why? Because the why is a false premise. Anytime I've let go of results from YouTube channel, like it's funny, the more, it really is, the more I get into the frequency of running live events and being in my zone of genius, the less I care about how is social media stats doing, how are views doing, how much is this growing, how much money is over here? It's more so I just enjoy being in this frequency and then all of these things work out. Well, a lot of times people are like, well, I'm trying to attract love, I'm trying to attract love, I'm trying to attract love. Stop trying. You're saying, what are you saying, Aaron? I shouldn't care about it at all? I'm saying you should let go of it completely and focus on enjoying your life. And then as you start enjoying a certain sector of your life, it leaks into other areas. So funny enough, the more I'm in my zone of genius and I'm passionate about being on stage and doing things in this dynamic, following that energy, the more all these other things work out. And also the less I care because I realize it brings me more fulfillment to be in this energy than it does for me to get the validation, the approval, the likes, the dopamine hits from social media content. I'm also more proud of the content. I'm more excited about it. When I go on a podcast, another way I like creating content is getting asked questions on podcasts. Pulls in for, I love, look, watching and seeing, oh, the content is just so much more aligned in my opinion, and I'm excited to put that out. If I have to force myself to make videos, that's control, and that energy, I believe what we feel other people feel, so it creates resistance. So the degree to which you let go is the degree to which you allow magic into your life, but also realize the reason you're attached is 'cause you actually believe that possibly control is gonna lead you to the end result. It creates resistance. Have you seen it where someone's like, "Yeah, the way that we attracted love is I really, really, really tried and I really, really, really wanted it and I was thinking about it and I was asking and going doing all the things and it happened." Normally there's an element in there of letting go. That didn't work. I completely let go and then the options were there because you're not in the vibration of lacking and control, you're in the energy of being. And if there's one thing you can't control in life, it's relationships. The more you try to control, the more the other person tries to rebel because it's balancing out that force you're putting out. Let go, be free. Enjoy life, focus on your zone of genius. The only thing you need to quote unquote control is instead of control, choose your focus and choose the passion of being and recognize that from that energy state of being, your life will change and transform in powerful ways. But it doesn't matter because you enjoy life. Like the bean is where the juice is. It's funny, this live event that I'm doing this weekend, it's like nerves are starting to go away because I've been running more and more live events. I just get excited. I'm like, I am excited. Whereas before I'd be like looking forward to like this big thing with this pressure. It's going away more and more. I've been going on bigger podcasts and it's like, as I'm getting ready to go on, I'm like, I'm just excited. There's no nerves really. I'm getting, anything you do consistently, you start to associate pleasure with it, and then eventually it becomes more and more normal, and then you just, you go for that feeling. I remember talking to a friend of mine that has had a live events company for like 10 years, and he's like, "Oh, you're just gonna get addicted to running live events." I mean, I'm like addicted, I know that sounds like a negative word, but like you're just gonna love it. You're gonna look forward to it, you can't wait to do it, you're gonna come up with cool like ways to mix it into your life once you get into the momentum of it. And I'm like, I believe it. And then funny enough, there'd be no attachment to outcome because the purpose is to have fun. The purpose is to connect. The purpose is to be in the moment. It's who I choose to be. And you can adopt the same type of energy in any area of your life by focusing on that and realizing the attachment is only there because you believe you need to control and subconsciously you believe it's going to actually lead to happiness somehow. It doesn't. It leads to more resistance. You make the choice to let it go by recognizing that it's not serving you. And then ask myself the question, can I let it go? Will I let it go? When is now the right time? Maybe it is. Now, one thing I'll be doing soon as well is more meditations every Monday, live meditations on Mondays. I'm gonna be starting this up soon. I don't know if it's gonna be every single Monday, but in the High Vibe Tribe, my free community, I'm gonna be going live with meditations more often. I think it's very important. There's different days of the weeks where there's different themes. So if you want to join a group of people and be a part of a free community of people that are focused on elevating their vibration, letting go, healing in a deep way, removing limitations, then you can join below and join those meditations. And when I go live on Instagram, everything's, you'll see in the calendar section, everything is there. If you wanna join, it's called High Vibe Tribe, I'll go ahead and link it below. And then also, if you want a video that will take you deeper on how to surrender, how to let go from a recent Instagram Live that I did, I'll go ahead and link it right here. Would you rather be right or would you rather be free? Sometimes we can be right about reality,
