Jay Shaw argues that feeling is the shortcut to manifesting what you want. He explains how the reticular activation system works to attract opportunities and circumstances that match your mindset, and why maintaining a success mindset generates the ideas and situations you're looking for.
You can be, do, and have anything you desire. The only limit in life is your own imagination, okay? The sooner you allow that to sink into your mind, the better off you will be. If you can think it, you can do it. If you can feel it, you'll do it on accident. I'm gonna say that again. If you can think it, you can do it. But if you can feel it, you'll do it on accident. You gotta learn how to feel how you would already feel if you already had everything you desire. You gotta feel good before the money show up. You gotta feel good before the customers show up. You gotta learn how to feel how you would feel while the calendar is empty. But from that place of feeling that way, Guess what? You in prime position to come up with the ideas to maintain what you already feel. When you feel discouraged, when you feel like you can't do it, guess what? You gonna come up with ideas, you gonna meet people that reinforce how you feel. You gonna keep finding evidence of how you feel 'cause that's what your reticular activation system is set to. If you wanna retrain it, if you wanna start thinking different, you gotta start feeling different. It's impossible for you to start thinking different without feeling different. Okay? Think about when you feel upset, it's easy for you to continue to feel upset. You ever had somebody do something to you and you pissed off and they give you a genuine apology? You believe them. You really believe that they sorry. And I'm still not done being upset. I'm not done being upset. And they— it ain't nothing they can do until you are done being upset. No matter how many times they apologize, how serious they are, how much they mean, you not gonna be done upset until you done being upset. But it's the same way when you feel successful. Yeah. When you got momentum on your success, you've been Maintain that feeling of success for several weeks, for several months. They on the news something about a recession. I'm not done being successful. Why would I stop being successful to go join a recession? I'm not done feeling good. I'm not done balling. I'm not done. Why would I stop doing this to start doing that? No thank you. Get in the feeling of what you want so that you can start walking through life and accidentally coming up with ideas, accidentally meeting people, accidentally creating circumstances that maintain what you want. You can do it, but you got to stop doing what you've been doing and start doing this new thing. That's gonna change your life.
