Stop praying for success and trust the process instead. Build an identity that already embodies what you want, then act from that place. When you stop waiting for external validation and behave as if success exists, your relationships and outcomes shift.
When you put a cup of water in the freezer, you don't gotta hope it freeze. You don't gotta pray that it freeze. You don't gotta put no ice cubes on your vision board. You don't gotta get your notebook and write, I'm so thankful and grateful that the water is frozen, and now that the water is frozen, I'm expressing my highest. You don't gotta do none of that. Why? Because you trust the freezer. You trust the free— you put the cup in the freezer and you walk off, and you know when you come back it's gonna be ice in there. When you sit down to boil some water, when you get a pot of water, you put it on the stove and you turn it on and you Boil it. You don't gotta hope it boil. You don't gotta pray that it boil. You don't gotta do no affirmations for it to boil. No incantations, no affirmations. You don't gotta do no scripting. Now that the water is boiling and I can have my dinner, you don't gotta do none of that. Why? Because you trust the oven to do its job. You trust the stove to do its job. Build the identity and let the identity do the work. A lot of my mentors became my mentees because I stopped waiting on my bank account. I started saying, what would my identity be if I already had the money? What would my identity be if I was already the number one hypnotist and all the other hypnotists knew it? What would I be? Who would I be if I was the hypnotist that other hypnotists called when they got stuck? Who would I be if I was the hypnotist that professional athletes turned to? If I was the hypnotist that artists and musicians turned to when they want to develop stage presence? Who would I be if politicians were reaching out to work with me? Who would I be if that was already my reality? What would I believe? What would I expect? What would I pay attention to? What would I completely ignore? What would I over— who would I be if I already had?
