Begin at the End - Attract What You Want Before You Get It

Most people spend their entire life stressed without ever giving a single thought as to what it is they really want or what's important to them. See, I'm here to cut through all that noise, connecting you to yourself and the life that you were meant to live. I used to slave away at a corporate job that I hated, but I broke through the social norms and pursued my passion. As a result, I own my own coffee company. I'm Espresso Sommelier, and I get to travel the world. You, too, can live a life that you love, but it starts with getting clear about what you want. It starts with a new decision. I'm your host, Donnie Rouse, and you are listening to the podcast One Life. Begin at the end. How do you track something that's not currently in your life? Often, you know, we say we want things, but if we have a hard time visualizing, we have a hard time seeing them in our mind's eye, then there's very little chance that we're going to actually bring it to fruition. For example, if you think of anything that you've accomplished in your life, right, think of the imagery. Think of what was going on in your head at the time. I know from my own experiences, you know, whether it be a trip or something like that, my mind is visualizing what it's going to feel like before it's ever even happened. And as a result of going on that trip, taking that test, whatever it may be like, the experience matches that in which I was building in my mind. So the experience is first built in your mind, and then it plays out, and then it's. You see it in the real world, and if you could grasp that concept, then literally you can start to create anything you want in your life. It's one of the newest. I mean, I guess you hear a lot of these things over the course of your life, but sometimes you don't actually put these things in action. This is something that I've been doing every single day, twice a day now, for maybe the last month. And what I will tell you is that by doing this, even in the exercise, I'm going to do, so I'm going to explain a little bit about it, and then I'm going to go into a short little guided meditation that I'll do for you. This is kind of inspired by Justin Michael Williams. He's a guy on Inside Timer who does this meditation that I do daily. And it's about seeing who you want to become, seeing yourself, imagining that there's, you know, you could rub a Lamp and poof. You're there. And then feeling the emotions. And then as a result of feeling that, slowly, that is what you're pulling towards you. So the Law of attraction is a very big thing. I feel like now it's starting to get a little bit played out in the sense that you hear it so often. So it's kind of become like some cliche word. But nevertheless, it is true, it is working because you are using it every single day in your life by doing exactly what I'm going to show you right here. So let's just go into it. I want to go through this little guided meditation. And in this guided meditation, I want you to start to visualize what it is you want. And you could look at your life as a whole, or you can single out a single area of your life. And one of the things that we tend to focus on, Right, because I'm guilty of it as well, is we tend to focus on what's not working, what we can't see. And that's the wrong way to go through life. Instead, you have to focus on what is it that you do see, what is that you do notice. Because as a result of dialing in and tuning into what it is that you do notice, now all of a sudden, new things will open up because you're not. It's like you could focus on the negative, or you could focus on the positive. You could focus on what's not happening, or you could focus on what's happening. Only one of them is going to pull you in the direction you want to go. So that's number one. And then secondly, as I had mentioned before, is that if you can't see it, you can't achieve it. Meaning if you can't see it in your mind's eye, then there's no possible way for you to get there. And that could be. I know that could feel kind of triggering in a way, because sometimes I'm like, in my own mind, I'm like, oh, my God, I can't see. There's no way I'm ever going to have it. No. Match the feeling first. The imagery will come later. Don't try to. It's something that has developed over time. As I was saying just a moment ago about noticing what you do notice, notice the feeling. How would it feel? And if you have trouble visualizing, imagine someone who is experiencing it and how they must feel, like how they hold themselves and all that stuff. So let's dive into it. So if you would like to take this little Journey with me. I want you to close your eyes. Start with a deep breath in and release. Take another deep breath in and then release. So we're going to take a deep breath in now and counting to three. Deep breath in.

One, two, three.

Hold it at the top.

One, two, three. And release. One, two, three.

Let's do that again two more times.

Inhale, one, two, three.

Hold it at the top.

One, two, Three.

And exhale.

One, two, Three.

Let's do it one more time.

Inhale, one, Two, Three.

Hold it at the top.

1, 2, 3.

And exhale.

1, 2, 3.

I want you to take your hands, place one on top of the other over your heart. Feel your heart beating. Take a deep breath in and then release it. Take one more deep breath in through your heart and then release it. Now I want you to imagine that you have a lamp or anything that you wish for you can make happen in your mind's eye. Imagine yourself rubbing this lamp and thinking of that ideal life that you want, that perfect life that you want. As you start to, I want you to develop that image in your mind. See that future you standing in front of you, experiencing all that you want to experience in this life. If you're having a hard time pitching yourself, picture someone else. Maybe someone that you're inspired by. And when you see them there, I want you to notice how it feels. Notice the colors around you. Notice if there are any smells. Notice if you're inside or if you're outside. Notice if there's any other people around you. If there aren't, that's totally okay as well. Now I want you to just pan out a little bit more and take in everything that is surrounding you. And if there's nothing, that's fine too. If you can't even get a picture, that's fine. That is fine. Notice what you notice. How does it feel in this person? I want you to see that person. Now I want you to imagine that you're standing right next to them. And when I say three, you're stepping into that person. One, two, three. Step into that person. What does it feel like as this person, how do they go about experiencing life? And as this person, what are the energies they put forward? Like, how do they live their life? How do they conduct themselves in life? Pick a few words. Maybe it's courageous, maybe to get where they were. Maybe it is. Maybe they were take more risks. Maybe it's just trusting that the universe has got their back. Maybe it's having more faith. Maybe it's having more fun. Whatever it is notice. Pick one to two words, maybe three words. After you've got your words, I want you again, put your hands over your heart, take a deep breath in, exhale, and in your mind's eye, just say, thank you. So that was the completion of this little short meditation. What words did you come up with? These words are the things that you need action in your own life. These words are what is going to close the gap. So maybe it was to be more courageous. Maybe you need to step out more, step out in a bigger way for. In your business, for your customers, whatever it may be. And this is if you felt the. If you felt the feelings of this person that you had in your mind, that is your lifeline. That's the string that is pulling you forward. So the more you go there, the more you make it a part of your body. So that is one of the practices that I do daily. Twice a day, I do multiple meditations. This is just one of them that I usually will do in the morning just because I like the tone of his voice and the way he says it just allows me to flow into it. But you can do the same with this. If you found this beneficial to you, you can take this audio and you can literally record and I mean listen to it every single day just to get that imagery and to point yourself in the direction that you want to go.
