“I just want him to listen…”
One of the most famous and problematic communication issues in a marriage…
“I just want him to listen, he always wants to solve the problem… like he’s trying to fix me.”
We’ve all heard it and we all know about it, so why does the problem persist?!?
First, I have to say that this isn’t a one-sided problem. Men just as often want
someone to ” just talk” to, but are less willing to admit it (too touchy-feely for the macho man façade).
But, back to the reason the problem exists! The problem is that people don’t want
someone who will just listen… they only want that sometimes. But other times
they do want help and support! Isn’t that one of the reasons for getting
married?! To have someone to support you when you’re feeling down, to lift you up, to help
you see another perspective?
Think of it this way, imagine that you talk to your spouse about problems you’re facing
five times in a week. Three times you want advice and two of the times you want
someone to listen to you. At the end of the week, you’re going to remember the times
that your spouse didn’t do what you wanted. You remember it because it stands
out more to you. The other times you got exactly what you wanted and expected, so
you don’t particularly notice it.
The problem gets worse when you have the belief that “my spouse always tries to
solve my problems”. There’s a part of your brain that looks for proof of what you
believe. So again, the times that your spouse tries to solve your problems when
you don’t want them to, are the times you’ll notice most often.
The good news is that this is very easy to fix.
The fastest way to fix this conversation is with a very simple question. When my wife
talks to me about something that’s bothering her I ask, “Do you want a husband
right now or a coach?”. Of course, before asking that question there needs to be a
quick little discussion about what it means.
“Husband” means I am just there to listen to her, to understand her as much as
I can, to sympathize with her, tell her it’s all okay and tell her how much I love her.
(“Wife” or “Spouse” essentially means the same thing)
“Coach” is a very different term. I believe that problems exist only in the mind and
therefore we are the only source of all our suffering and problems. As a coach I show
people another perspective. I call them out. I teach them about how powerful they
are and that the problem is only a sign of the fact that they’ve forgotten that power. Then, I become the person to
help them remember what they really are capable of.
One is not good and the other bad. I believe in coaching with all my heart and
know that it is extremely powerful for others and myself. AND sometimes I just
need a wife, I need to know that I am loved even when I’m not standing in my
power.
Other times, my wife is my greatest coach. She knows me better than anyone else. She
knows my light and she knows my darkness and she knows when I in one and when
I’m in the other. I promise you I would be nowhere right now if it weren’t for the support
and “problem solving” my wife has helped me do. The calling me out and telling me
that I am better than what I’m creating at that moment.
So have that conversation with your spouse, determine what “coach” means to you and
what “spouse” means. So often in life we want one thing one day an something else
another day and sometimes we don’t know what we want at all. That’s okay, just don’t
expect your spouse to be a mind reader, learning how to communicate what you want
will go a long way in helping your marriage be what you want in your marriage.
Tony Purcell,
P.S. Let me know how this works for you and any other questions you have in the comments below.
I have always liked Vegas. I love how everything is larger than life there. I love seeing things like a mall that inside looks like it’s outside, enormous statues instead of beams, fountains that are synchronized and choreographed to music, an Eiffel Tower down the street from the Statue of Liberty, a Venice-like canal in the middle of a hotel, and the list goes on and on.
I am always in awe at what people can actually create. However, the most awe inspiring thing I saw in Vegas this year wasn’t a feat of architecture. It wasn’t huge, bright or famous. It was a very obscure display in a corner of Planet Hollywood. Most people pass right by it without even noticing, especially when there is an original x-wing from Star Wars or a life sized Batmobile close by. Of the people that do notice, few of them take the time to fully examine it, because it’s a letter and it is a bit hard to make out. Why take the time when there are so many spectacular things to see? Planet Hollywood is widely acclaimed as the largest collector of movie start memorabilia. Yet in all the years of fame and claim, I’ve never heard mention of this one piece.
The amazing artifact was a letter written by Bruce Lee to himself. It was, as he described it, his Definite Chief Aim.
My Definite Chief Aim
I, Bruce Lee, will be the first highest paid Oriental super star in the United States. In return I will give the most exciting performances and render the best of quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting 1970 I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1980 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness.
Bruce Lee
Jan. 1969
It’s also important to note where Bruce Lee was at at that time in his life. He had just been turned down by Warner Brothers on a role that he had already put an enormous amount of effort into–and the suspect reason is he was too Oriental looking. Most people would agree that, considering his humble beginnings, Lee had reached his maximum potential. But Lee didn’t give up. In a time of frustration, Lee wrote the above letter.
At the supposed peak of his career and in the face of failure, Lee chose to create something new. It’s hard to argue with the results of this letter. Unfortunately, Lee died just four years after writing this letter, but it is incredible to recognize what he achieved in those four short years. Even 38 years after his death, Lee is still easily recognized as one of the greatest “Oriental super stars in the United States”! How about the lines “most exciting performances” and “best quality in capacity of an actor”… did he live up to those? No contest. As far as his net worth, I don’t know what it was at the time of his death. However, I think it’d be hard to argue against the probability that Bruce Lee would have been well over $10,000,000 if he would have lived another 7 years. Especially since the last movie Lee ever finished, The Last Dragon, grossed $90,000,000 world wide!
As I mentioned, I find this more profound than anything else I saw in Vegas– because in that letter, I saw the potential that lies within each of us.
Maybe you’ve found yourself in the same place in life. You’ve achieved a certain degree of success, you worked hard for it and were proud of yourself. But when you decided to take it to the next level, you experienced failure… Then what did you do? Did you decide that you weren’t good enough or that your success was out of your control? If so, I am here to tell you, YOU CAN CREATE YOUR LIFE… NO MATTER WHAT!
Would you like Bruce Lee’s exact formula? Well okay, it’s not actually Bruce Lee’s formula. Considering the fact that Bruce Lee was an avid studier of personal development and the fact that this letter follows an exact formula outlined by Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich, I’m pretty sure it’s Hill’s formula that Lee used…
Here it is, straight from the book:
“First: Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say “I want plenty of money.” Make this a Definite Chief Aim as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which is described in a subsequent chapter).
Second: Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as “something for nothing.)
Third: Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.
Fourth: Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once,whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
Fifth: Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
Sixth: Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READ—SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.
It is important that you follow the instructions described in these six steps. It is especially important that you observe and follow the instructions in the sixth paragraph.”
Hill later illustrates that applying these rules does not require “hard labor”, great sacrifice, doesn’t require you to be ridiculous or credulous and doesn’t require a great amount of education or intelligence. It does, however, require imagination enough to truly see yourself in possession of the money.
So you can either read this post and feel good but do nothing and gain nothing, or you can follow the steps and make millions. It worked for Bruce Lee, it worked for Napoleon Hill, I’ve seen it work in my life and it can work for you!

YOU have the POWER
to
Conquer Your Life
We’ve already talked about how money is an exchange of value for value. Now, lets take a step back. Let’s go straight back to just an exchange of value for value without money in the equation. The economy works on an exchange of value for value, but so does life.
Every aspect of life works on an exchange of value for value. That’s how relationships work. Unfortunately there are people who have forgotten this. They begin to feel entitled to getting value, in the form of love, affection, etc., without giving value. They then think that because they are related or married, they no longer have to give value and just get to receive it forever. It doesn’t work that way– relationships crumble, fall apart and leave the people involved feeling like victims.
Value for value is also how spirituality and love and joy and happiness and everything that YOU value works. You can get anything you desire, anything that is valuable to you, by exchanging it for value. This has been taught for centuries and by so many people. It’s even a spiritual principle– Karma, what goes around comes around, you reap what you sow– are just a few phrases that describe the same concept.
So, we talked about using this principle to make money, but the truth is, no one really wants money!
You may be saying, “Yeah right! I do.” But, no one really wants money, they want what they can buy with money. They want the value they think the money will give them. Once we understand that, we can skip a step and get straight to the value. Now I’m not saying forget about money, because it is a necessity in this life. The real beauty of this principle is that it ALWAYS works and it works across all forms of value. You can give one form of value and receive another form.
Once we truly understand this principle, we can stop worrying about money and focus instead on giving value– as much value as we possibly can. When we give the value, we receive the value… always. Whether it is in the form of money or just raw value.
In my experience there are different levels at which we can choose to exchange value with the world.
The very lowest level to exchange value is what I call a Squanderer, literally someone who is decreasing the amount of value in the world. A Squanderer is someone who takes a large amount of value from the world to give a very small amount of value to himself. Some examples would be someone who steals from a traveler. They grab the small amount of cash and chuck the rest. The traveler has just lost everything and is stranded in a foreign country, while the thief has earned only a few bucks. Another example would be someone who rapes or molests someone. The abuse only lasts a moment for the Squanderer, but sadly leaves a life of emotional scarring for the victim.
(Don’t worry, stay with me–it gets positive as we go along…)
The next level is a Moocher. Someone who will take a small amount of value from someone for a large amount for themselves. An example of this would be someone like Jean Valjean from Les Misérables, who steals the silverware from the bishop. One person loses their silverware while the other continues to survive. Another example would be people who believe that when one person has more than the rest, their money should be taken and redistributed. While this level of interaction may seem quite noble compared to the first level, it is still corrupt and wrong. It is still based on a taking and decreasing value rather than adding or giving.
The next level is a Consumer. A Consumer gives value only because they have to. Their focus is on what they get out of the exchange. Their goal is to receive as much value as possible and do the minimum amount of work required to receive such. An example of this would be someone who would never steal because they are honest, so instead they go to a job every day that they don’t particularly love (or that they hate) often putting in the minimum amount of effort required of them. Even though a consumer exchanges value for value, they would rather not if they had a choice. At this level, it is also easy to start feeling entitled.
The best level to exchange on is as a Producer. A Producer focuses on creating as much value as possible. They are not thinking about what they are getting in return– they just want to give as much as they can. Producers always give much more than they receive and often give for a long time before they begin to receive, which is why few people live life as a Producer. The only thing that could drive someone to produce at this level is doing something they love. In the end though, the Producer receives way, way, way more value than anyone else on any of the other areas. What goes around, comes around–it always works. Some examples of this would be someone like Henry Ford, who gave the world a revolution. He had and realized a dream of making a car that was affordable to ANYONE. Where would transportation be today without that one man? How much further behind would we be? In return, he received the equivalent of a few hundred billion dollars in today’s dollars. Other examples include just about any other historically famous person ever. People who changed the entire world forever, who added thousands of times more value to the world than any normal person and in return received thousands of times more value than the average person.
Remember, you’re not out looking for money, you’re looking for value. When you focus on giving value that is what you will receive. Yes, you will receive money, because that is one form of value. In fact, you’ll receive enough money so that you’ll never need to worry about money ever again. But even more so, you’ll receive all of the REAL value that you are looking for.
So which one are you? Which one would you like to be? How do you show up in each area of your life? Your relationships? Your spirituality? Your finances? Your career? Your Life?
The best part is you can choose. You can look at your life today and choose where you want to be, what you want to give and what you want to receive. So do it! Look at your life and decide, continue to re-evaluate yourself and make new commitments. Most of all… Remember – You have the power to Conquer Your Life.
Lately I’ve been thinking. What is the purpose of life? I mean really, what is the real purpose of our WHOLE life? Why do we continue to get out of bed every day? Why do we go to work every day? Why do we do everything we do? For most people, it’s to survive. I know for me that’s what it was for a long time. I went to school so I could get into a college, I went to college so I could get a job, I got a job so I could pay the bills, I payed the bills so I could have a wife and children. But to what end? Having a child is amazing, I love it more than anything. But I didn’t do it for me… I didn’t have a child so I would be more fulfilled and have someone who loves me. I had and am raising a child for him, but again to what end? What is the purpose of bringing him into this world to live for 80 years? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE?
I have always been a very religious and spiritual person. As such, I have always felt like I had an answer to that question. I’ve always known that God has a purpose for us. I’ve always known that we were here so that we could have a choice, so that we could choose the light or choose the darkness because we can never appreciate anything until we choose it for ourselves. I’ve always known that living in Heaven in the presence of God is better than what we experience in this life. So if all that’s true, why do we have to stay here? Why do we have to live another 10, 20 or even 50 or 60 YEARS? Why can’t we just make our choice and then go back!?! Is it a test to see if we REALLY mean the choices we’ve made or if we REALLY believe what we say we do? Is the rest of our lives just a test of our resolve?
Why do YOU keep living? If you feel like you have the truth you were sent here to learn to accept… Then WHY? Why do you work every day? So that you can survive? What are you fighting for? After all the spiritual truths that you know: After the knowledge that there is a Heaven that is better than here. After the knowledge that death isn’t real because our spirit lives on. After the knowledge that you can see your family after this life… WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF SURVIVING? Why are you fighting and struggling every day to stay here as long as you can?
We struggle to survive because something inside of us knows we do have something more to accomplish in life.
This life is a part of our everlasting journey. Really think about what that means–what that means for you right here and right now. You lived as a spirit being before beginning this life and will continue as a spirit being after this life. So what are you supposed to be learning right now that you couldn’t learn as a spirit being living in the presence of God? More importantly, are you learning that lesson? How much are you learning and growing and developing on a daily basis? When you get to the end of your long life will you be able to look back on this experience and see it as a meaningful part of your eternal experience? What if you consider that this life could possibly be one of the most important events in your eternal path? With that in mind, how do you think you are doing? Are you learning and growing in a way that could make this life truly be one of the most important parts of your journey?
This post was prompted by a question that someone asked me. I am often questioned for what I do. I am a spiritual-based life coach and have dedicated my life to helping people understand the answer to questions like this and more importantly, to help them make the personal progress and development that they were meant to in this life. The question was “why would I need a life coach? Am I just so flawed that I need a coach to just to live life? Is everyone so flawed that they need a life coach?”. If I had any doubt whatsoever about my life calling and what I’m saying here, that question would have offended me. But as it were, I just laughed– I thought it was funny. It was so clear to me how so many people don’t have any clue why they are really here. Of course you need a life coach. Everyone who has ever accomplished anything great in entertainment, sports, business etc., had a coach, or someone who knew how, when and where to push, to teach, to lead. No one would try to be a great athlete without a coach, so why would your LIFE be less significant than a sport?
Please, don’t just let this life pass you by! Don’t let yourself get to the end of this earth journey and realize that you missed the whole purpose. Don’t ever let yourself stop progressing. Be willing to do what ever it takes to break through what ever is holding you back. Stretch yourself. Read. Learn. Grow. Get a coach. Remember, your life has a purpose. Remember, to never give up. Most of all, remember, you have the power to Conquer Your Life.

Creation
For several years now I have have been studying a principle called “The Law of Attraction”. Basically, The Law of Attraction states that if you think about something, anything– long enough you will attract that into your life. Whether it be an object like a car or money, good health, relationships or simply joy and happiness.
But there was a problem. I knew people who talked about The Law of Attraction all the time, and it wasn’t working. They swore up and down, all day long, that it worked but while they were claiming to be “attracting” money and health, they were broke and out of shape. On the other hand, I knew people who didn’t believe in The Law of Attraction at all and did nothing to implement it. Yet they seemed to be getting the results because they were putting in the work. To me, it seemed like the only tool we had to create was our actions.
More than just observing this in other people, I was struggling with it personally. My head was screaming, “this doesn’t work, it doesn’t make any sense. The only reason it works for some people is because if you focus on something long enough you will naturally be more motivated to take action.” My heart though, was saying something different. Something deep down kept saying there was something more; that maybe mind really is powerful and maybe you can literally create and attract things through the power of your thoughts and mind.
The battle between my heart and mind was intense. I would have given up long ago if it wasn’t for the fact that the feeling in my heart was so strong. I continued to study and test and ask about this principle. So much didn’t seem to make sense or add up…
Finally, I figured it out! It works because as children of God we have been given the power to create. It works according to what we give our energy to, or in other words, what we focus on, talk about, think about and believe deep down.
Remember – You have the power to Conquer Your Life.

Connection to the Infinite
Every morning I start the day getting centered, focused and connected.
In my experience, sleep is my body’s time to catch up. To process and release emotions. Each morning I do a power hour where I work out, meditate and connect spiritually. The meditation is simply learning to clear my mind and then practice controlling it. The easiest way to do that is just to focus on your breath. After a few minutes of that I continue in a meditation process that helps me connect with God, The Source, The Infinite, Heavenly Father, what ever term works for you.
I have spent a lot of time meditating and trying different techniques. I have found that a guided meditation works really well for me. I have tried many different guided meditations and none seemed to be quite what I was looking for. The guided meditation that fit best for me was not anything I found, it was something that one of my coaches used to guide me through. I didn’t have a recording of it so I just recorded it myself.
Originally it was just for me but I have had a few clients mention that they have the best experience while being guided as well and requested a copy of a guided meditation from me. Since I recorded and uploaded it, I decided to share it with everyone, so here it is.
Try it out and let me know your experience with it.

What is Money?
The first step to making money is knowing what it is. Really think about it, what is money? Money is simply a symbol, a symbol for value. Once we see that money is value, we can understand that exchange of money is really an exchange of value. This works both ways. The reason you spend money on anything is because you believe it will be of value to you. So you take the value out of your pocket and trade if for something that has value to you. Likewise, when someone is giving money to you, it is because you have created value for them.
But what is value? Value is something that improves the quality of your life. Whether it is satisfying a need or a want, anything that gives you what you want is valuable to you.
It may also help to look at the days before money. There was a time when people just traded value for value directly. For example, a chicken for a pair of shoes. Today it works the same; the only difference is there is a universal tool of exchange. It simplifies exchange because if you want a shoe you don’t have to find something that the shoemaker wants. Instead, you give him money and he can buy anything he wants that is equal to the value of the shoe he gave you.
As soon as you understand that money is just value, you can understand how to create more money. Give more value! Find ways to create more value for more people. Help people solve the problems that they have. You are creating value for them and they will be happy to exchange the value that they have for the value you give them. It is really easy to forget this because we often think the opposite. Just yesterday I heard something I’ve always heard and I’m sure you have too. “Helping people is called service” and right after that “service means that you don’t get paid for it”. If you want to make lots of money you must first recognize that you can help and serve people and get paid for it. In fact, the only honest way to make money is to help and serve people.
Start by thinking of ways you can help more people. Who can you serve, what value can you add to the world? I’ll give you a good place to start. Think of something you love to do. If you love to do it, you will put more effort and energy into it than anyone else will. In other words, you’ll be good at it, much better than most. That’s exactly why it will be of value to others.
We are hundreds of times more valuable that we think we are. You can add value to the world and you will be compensated for doing so. Go create value. And remember: conquer your finances, Conquer Your Life.

My First Post!
This is my first ever blog post! Today my little sister-in-law was worrying about the possibility of getting less than a 4.0 for the first time! I reassured her that it would be okay –that it is okay to have a few “bad” grades. As I did so I was reminded of the times that I got much much less than a 4.0. In fact, I remember several times having to go to a teacher and ask if I could do any last minute projects to avoid failing. Every time that happened it was the same subject–all of the lowest grades I got were in that same subject. ENGLISH. I hated writing, I could work math problems all day long but when it came to sitting down and writing a paper, I would sit for hours pulling my hair out with frustration. The worst was that after several hours I would only have one paragraph written. This continued through junior high, high school and college.
So you may be asking the same thing I’ve asked myself many times, “why would someone who hates writing start a blog?”. See, it makes sense for my wife to write a blog because she is the exact opposite. She would rather eat vegetables than do math (which is saying a lot) and she writes for fun. She has an amazing gift for writing and has an incredible blog. She has always been the one who helped me on my writing and does all of my editing. Something changed though… just a few days ago. I wrote something official for the first time since I had to write a paper for college a few years ago. After reading and editing it for me she said, “It’s the first time I’ve read something from you that didn’t feel like a train wreck written by a second grader”. Now, that may sound mean on paper but when she said it, it was actually really nice and I felt like it was a great compliment. In the past writing has never flowed for me, I have never been able to write like I talk.
What was different? Why was it that my whole life writing was a miserable task and then suddenly it became enjoyable? How is it that someone who couldn’t compose a well written paragraph after 15 years of schooling suddenly feels able to write and actually finds himself enjoying it? First, I do have to give credit to all of my English teachers who persistently forced me to learn, even while I was constantly cursing them under my breath for all those years. They knew what was really important for me in the end. But the real change took place in me. For the first time in my life I was writing just because I wanted to. I didn’t have a project or a report to complete. I found something I was passionate about and I wrote about it. When I did that, everything changed. The words just seemed to flow. I wrote four pages in the amount of time it used to take me to write one paragraph. The best part is that today I am excited to continue writing! I have soooo much to share, but for now… I want to share what I am most passionate about, I decided write that in a different post though. My Passion, My Purpose

My Passion, My Purpose
I want to share what I am most passionate about.
There is a problem with the way we are experiencing life. There is a separation that needs to be eliminated. That is the separation between two worlds, two worlds that were meant to be one. The one is the world of every day reality, the things you do every day to get along and to survive. Things like work, money, business, day to day relationships, even the relationship between spouses, TV, entertainment, working out, health and fitness, education, science… and the list goes on and on. The other world is the world of spirit. Even though over 97% of Americans believe that we are spiritual beings that came from a higher source, the subject has become taboo. 97% means that MOST people have very similar spiritual beliefs as the foundation to everything that they believe. Rather than focusing on the similarities, we focus on the differences which has led to arguments, fights, hatred, bloodshed and even wars. Because of that we decided to eliminate the conversation of spirituality completely from our day to day reality. I am taking a stand against that.
The problem with separating the world of spirit from the “rest of life”, is that we are spiritual beings! Therefore we cannot do anything that is not spiritual! Yet the separation remains. If we go to the world of business or science or education or money and talk about the importance of spirit we are mocked, ridiculed and cast out. It we go to the world of religion and spirituality and talk about the importance of money and business, we are mocked, ridiculed and cast out. The result is we try to live two separate lives. In very rare circumstances, like at church or with close friends, we acknowledge the role that the spirit plays in our lives. In every other situation, we ignore it. In church we may stand and say that God is at the helm and we promise our lives to Him. The very next day we return to a life that doesn’t even acknowledge His presence. On Sunday we talk about a loving God who has everything and blesses us with everything we need and the next day we return to a job we hate to struggle to survive in a world of scarcity– literally selling our life for money.
Today I am taking a stand for the unification of the two worlds, I am taking a stand for the unification of YOU!
This can be very difficult to do, which is why few people have ever accomplished it.
For me it was difficult, and I want to share my journey. It started with a time of my life when I had a chance to dedicate a majority of my time to my spiritual development. I became very connected to God, life had more meaning & was better and more fulfilling. I knew I had a higher purpose and I was living it. But then I had to come back to “normal life”–I had to focus on things like school and dating and getting married. Then I focused on making money and finding a career. I learned so much about business, success and money and I applied it and found success. Yet I still felt unfulfilled because I had been neglecting what was most important to me, my spirituality. Since then I have gone back and forth several times and in doing so, I have understood WHY there seems to be such a disconnect.
The “real world” wants real results. They don’t care how good you feel or if you’ve connected to God– they only care if you get the results: pay the payment, make the money, lose the weight etc. The spiritual side seems to not care about the results– it’s okay if you’re broke, out of shape, in debt, have hollow relationships, as long as you believe and obey the “rules”. So we see a world where very successful business people are rarely strong spiritually and spiritual people struggle with success in the other aspects of life. In that world it’s like you have to choose, do you want the real results or the good feelings?
The good news is there is a way to find unity. There is a way to be focused on your spiritual self and a higher purpose and experience the real world results. It is possible to live your purpose and to make money and have good relationships and be healthy all at the same time. In fact not only is it possible, IT IS ESSENTIAL for you to live the life you were meant to live. I want to tell you how– I want to share with you the process I’ve discovered to unify the two worlds.
It starts with an awakening. An awakening to your TRUE spiritual self. An awakening to the potential that exists on the spiritual plane. This awakening is a very real and very significant process. I know a lot of very good, very religious people who have strong faith in God and at the same time are completely asleep to their spiritual self and what they are really capable of. When your awakening takes place you start to see ancient spiritual text not only as stories but as instructions about what is possible. The miracles of ancient days become every day reality.
That is only the first step though– there is still a problem. When you get to the point where you experience the presence of God “as a man speaketh unto his friend” (exodus 33:11) it is so amazing. It is better than anything you have ever imagined. Additionally, when you continue to experience it day by day it begins to contrast to everyday reality. It feels so much better than going to work every day, the stress of money and bills, the difficulty of making a relationship work. You start to prefer that spiritual world to this world and it becomes easy to detach from this world. Why deal with that frustration when you can spiritually connect to your creator instead? However, if you do fall into that this world starts to fall apart. You don’t deal with the issues that you are facing, so they get worse. Then you want even more to detach from this world which just perpetuates the issue. Someone who has gotten to that point then tries to teach someone else, but they don’t want to listen. They look at the results and say “Why should I listen to you? Your life is falling apart, what do you know about life?”.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Once you experience the magnificence of the spiritual world you can bring that same greatness to this world! Your everyday reality can be just as exciting, fulfilling, enjoyable, meaningful AND ABUNDANT as the spiritual world. Not only can it be, but it was meat to be. The purpose of this earth life is to learn how to balance the two worlds; to recognize the reality of your spirit self and how it pertains to every day reality and then to live that out. TO LEARN HOW TO CREATE a life, here on this earth, that is just as amazing and joyful as the spirit realm… in all aspects of life: your body, your finances, your career, your relationships etc.
So how do you wake up and how do you link the two worlds? Well, that’s a really long question with an even longer answer. A question that I intend to answer… one post, CD or video at a time. I would love to share it with you… you can subscribe here or go to my facebook page or my Youtube channel. I’m here to help you in any way I can to make that a reality. Remember, you have the power to CONQUER YOUR LIFE!
