The Mindset That Will Change Your Life Immediately

Hopefully, the wind will play ball with us because I got a feeling that some of you needed to hear this today. And I'm just going to spit this out because some of you need a wakeup call.

Anything that you're experiencing right now in your life is a byproduct of your energy. An energy that you have embodied in the past is creating this current present moment that you're experiencing right now. The end.

I don't care how low you feel, how miserable your life is, how powerless you feel. The truth is, you have all the power. You've created with your energy everything that you're experiencing right now. And the only thing that's going to change your life is you changing your energy. Nothing else.

You know, successful people, they didn't just wait on their ass and be this lucky duck that just got picked up by some magical superpower and launched into the stratosphere of success and abundance and money and all this stuff. They decided, they made a shift internally, energetically to align them with that reality. They embodied the identity, the version of them that corresponded with the reality of success, of abundance, of alignment. It was an internal shift.

And it always will be you standing where you are right now in the energy that you're in right now. Whatever you're perceiving external to you, take note of it because it's a mirror. It is mirroring back to you what you are.

Anything that you're experiencing right now is a byproduct of your energy. Something that happened in the past might be causing you to store trauma, to store pain, to store anger, to store resentment unconsciously. And that's why you don't feel well. That's why you see people treating you badly. That's why you're getting up on opportunities because you're harboring all this past shame, past hurt, guilt, traumas, things that happened to you, resentment, lack of forgiveness, judgment that's fragmenting your consciousness and stopping you from feeling whole, stopping you from feeling fulfilled. And that is stopping you from seeing your value, seeing your inherent value.

So, you're standing here in this fragmented state, holding on to all this [ __ ] from the past, not realizing that that is why your life is so fragmented. It's your energy that is creating that experience and nothing else.

People go throughout their lives and they place blame and point the finger on everything and everyone but themselves, and that's why they don't get anywhere. And you're robbing yourself of a truly magnificent life experience, the more you try to point the finger and blame everything else because that's not where your power is. Your power is in you taking radical responsibility and accountability for everything happening in your life right now and for your energy.

The moment that you stand fully in your authenticity and you say, "You know what? This is who I am. This is my character. I am going to shine my light. I'm going to stand here, right here. I'm going to shine my light so bright." The world will have no choice but to reflect that light back to you.

Do you know when I was in my darkest days, in my darkest period, I was at home alone. My mom was in hospital. I had just had my first heartbreak. I lost the person that I thought would love me for my whole life. I had huge abandonment trauma. It was the worst pain in my life. It was like all my greatest fears have come true. And you know what I realized? I spent weeks crying in my bed. "Woe is me. Why is my life so bad?" Being a victim to everything. And then one day I woke up and I said, "You know what? If you can't find the sunshine, be the sunshine." Something inside me told me that no matter what, if I decided that I was strong enough to overcome everything. If I decided that my inner light would never be dampened by anything external to me, then I would always win. I just knew that on some level, if I could pick myself up from the dirt, if I could stand on my two feet again and be strong and share that strength and that light with other people, then good things had to come to me.

I made the decision in that time in my life that no matter what happened, I would always be someone who bounced back. I would always be someone who chose to see the good and I would always embody the energy that I wanted to receive back. And the moment I started being the sunshine, guess what? I started receiving sunshine back to me. And from that moment forward, I've had that attitude throughout my whole life.

Yes, I've been knocked on my ass more times than I can count. I've run out of money. I've had to lean on family members to give me money to survive at times. I've almost lost loved ones. I've lost relationships that I thought were it. I've had devastating things happen to me. But I never let that dim and suppress my inner light because so long as I'm still breathing and I'm still alive, then I've still got light to share with the world. And why would I waste another second dimming that and dimming the light that I'm receiving back? Because that's all you're doing. When you take everything that's happened to you and everything that people are saying and everything that's going on outside on board and you let that dim your light, all you're doing is killing your life experience, killing your joy. You're stopping the good from being able to come into your life and come towards you.

Opportunity can't knock on a door that it can't see. If the door of opportunity is in the dark, if you're not shining bright and saying, "This is who I am. I'm expecting good things. I deserve good things. I'm going to share this good energy with the world and expect to receive that back." Then you're not going to receive that back. Period. The end.

And why would you waste your life caught up on a relationship, on something bad that happened to you, on something that's in the past that's dead and gone? Why would you continue to bring that into the future and ruin your life experience when there's people who have taken their last breath today and you're still here?

I had my mom's friend's husband passed away yesterday and it got me thinking of, you know, the family he's left behind and it got me thinking about everyone who took their last breaths yesterday, everyone who took their last breaths this morning. Right now, people are taking their last breaths. And someday, that's going to be you. And you're going to wonder in those last moments why you bothered wasting all this time dimming your light being something that you're not to try and please other people when all it did was block the greatness that was meant for you from streaming into your life.

Because here's the thing, your ego is going to have you chasing all this [ __ ] this status, the perfectionism, all these things that you're not playing small, playing down on the things that you truly care about. When the fulfillment that you're actually looking for, that your ego is trying to chase is going to be found in you standing unapologetically in your authenticity, being absolutely audaciously yourself.

When you do that fully, when you realize the value of standing in your true self in your authenticity, the value of your depth, your character, your quirks, the things that you like, who you truly are at your core, and you fully stand in that and embrace that, that's when everything that's actually meant for you is going to come at you. That's when you're going to experience true fulfillment in your work. Alignment with your soul's purpose, alignment with the people that see you and understand you and all the [ __ ] you went through, all the times that you weren't seen, all the times that you weren't understood, it's going to all be worth it. It's going to all be healed. But it has to start with you leading the dance, and you seeing yourself fully, you appreciating yourself fully, you understanding who you are, what you want, and not being afraid to stand on that and stand in that.

No matter if right now everything around you is crumbling, if right now nobody understands you, that's fine. You can overcome any external circumstance with the right energy and with the right mindset. Every opportunity, every success, all the money is circulating right now. All the opportunities are circulating right now. You're not in a cage. The cage you've created is created by your traumas and your fears and your egos. But that is all in your mind. It's not real.

You have the potential to create anything that you want. You have free will. You can change your mind right now. You can go in a new direction. You can launch that business. You can move country. You can break up with that guy. You can break up with that girl. You can leave that friend group. You can join a new club. You can make new friends. You can do anything that you want if you just get out of your own way and ask yourself what really aligns with you. What truly aligns with you?

And the other most important thing you need to do is realize that no circumstance can stand in the way of you being in your most powerful energy. When you register that anything is possible, when you form a belief system that supports you, nothing can stand in your way. Nothing can block your energy when it's in the right place. Nothing can stand in the way of your belief when you've got a strong enough belief that this is possible for you, that you're going to make it happen, that you are going to succeed, that you are good enough, that you are deserving of the love, the success, the recognition, the alignment, then no circumstance, no logical term, no condition, no law, no regulation, no man-made thing can stand in the way of that energy because it is divine. It's your godlike creative essence. It transcends everything and you need to be creating based on that.

So when I was living back in Ireland, I had a belief system that nobody here understands me. Nobody gets me. I'm never going to make friends here. Oh, I'm such an outlier. Like, woe is me. Nobody sees me in this country. Everyone everyone thinks this way. So nobody's going to understand me because I think this way, right? Wrong.

I moved country. I shifted my energy. Only when I moved country did I allow myself to start standing in my authenticity fully because of this [ __ ] that my ego was telling myself. So I moved country. I started standing in my authenticity. I started sharing my genuine authentic light with the world. And guess what? I have people DMing me from Ireland, from my hometown who were around me that whole time saying, "Oh my god, can I meet you for a coffee? I feel like we'd be such good friends. We're so aligned. You think just like me. Everything you say resonates with me." And I could have had those friends years ago if I had stopped telling myself a [ __ ] story and started just unapologetically expressing myself and allowing myself to believe that that was all I had to do to attract light back to me that was going to resonate with that.

Do you understand what I'm saying? Your stories are [ __ ] They're [ __ ] and all they're doing is limiting you and robbing you of your freedom and your happiness and your alignment with what's meant for you. The moment you stand in your power, in your authenticity, and you stop telling yourself self-limiting stories is the moment you start to realize how powerful you are. is the moment you realize that any term, any condition, any environment, any financial situation, any [ __ ] that you're telling yourself can be overcome when you are standing strong in your energy. When you realize how powerful that is, nothing can stop you when you're in that energy.

All you have to do is decide who you are, what you value, what is your dream scenario. Don't hold back. Genuinely find something that excites you. Don't tell me there's nothing because there has to be something. Something that excites you. And then ask yourself, why am I resisting that? What is it about that that I can't allow myself to have? Figure this out. Get in your journal and do some reflection for once in your life and figure out why am I resisting my dream? Why am I not qualified for this dream?

Because let me tell you something. The people who are standing in the dreams that you're only dreaming of and could never actually let yourself consider, they're no different to you. They just had the audacity to do it and demand it. And that's what made them qualified. Your desire is the qualification that you've been looking for. Your desire is the permission that you're waiting for.

People who are standing in the rooms that you want to stand in, people who are making the money you want to make. People who are having the fame, the recognition, the success that you want, the relationships, whatever it is that you want. They didn't wait for some qualification or some permission to go and have and be and do these things. They just decided to embody the energy that they deserved it already. They just decided to be it and become it. And that was the moment they became it. They didn't say, "Oh, first I need to do a master's and then I need to go and put in this this thing over here and then I need to..." No, no. You get ready when you start. You get qualified by starting. You get off the bench. You get in the game and then you're ready. Not all these warm-ups and all these training grounds. You'll spend your whole life on the training ground feeling like you're depriving yourself and playing small and never really living a full life. And then you get to the end and you'll take your last breath and you'll say, "Why the [ __ ] did I do that? That was a waste of my time."

Time is the one resource you have got a limited amount of. I watched a TED talk yesterday and this man showed an image of all the months that we live from the age of 18 until we die if we were to live until 90 years old, which is really optimistic. Okay? And then he took out the time you spend sleeping, the time you spend in the bathroom, the time you might spend at work, and you were left with 334 roughly, don't quote me, months of free time. And 90% of that free time, the talk was actually about social media. And they found that it was projected that 90% of that free time would be spent by the up and coming generation on social media. So you've basically got a few months of free time actually until you die.

So my question for you is if you knew you had roughly 300 months of life, which is accurate, how would you spend it? What would you focus on? What [ __ ] would you put aside and put down and decide is no longer your story? Because it's that simple. If you don't like the character you've been playing, if you don't like the results that this character is getting you in this game, then select another character. Select a character that you love. Select a character that is true to you. Because a lot of us are living lies. We're chasing things that we don't really care about. And if I could really emphasize one thing, it's to be focus on the stuff that you actually give a [ __ ] about. No matter how illogical it seems. If you've got some weird desire for something, if you've got some weird quirk, some weird interest, that's your lane, own it. Why are you wasting your life not owning that? You're going to be in the 1% in the thing that you can be obsessed with. So follow that and become the character that you need to be to have that to be in that level comfortably where it's easy for you because that version of you exists right now.

There are infinite parallel realities existing simultaneously all at once. You are experiencing this one because of the character that you've been playing and the energy that you've been embodying. Okay? So like a mirror, whatever energy you embody, that's going to be what you perceive in the world. That's going to be the timeline that you're on. If you want to be on another timeline, you need to become another character.

So let's do this exercise right now together. Think about your biggest, wildest dream. I don't care how delusional it seems. If someone else can do it, you can do it. Just have some audacity and have some delusion with me for a minute. Think about your wildest dream right now. Okay? Set yourself free from this prison that you've been in and think about your wildest dream. Maybe you're taking inspiration from someone else. Maybe, you know, you've seen someone on social media and it sparked some ideas in your head. Maybe you want to be living in, I don't know, Hawaii, surf on your surfboard every day. Maybe you want to be having a family barbecuing, planting flowers in the garden. Maybe you want to be hosting events. I don't know what you want, but just think of it right now. Really, really shoot for the sky and think about what you want right now vividly. Close your eyes. I'm going to close my eyes with you. Okay, imagine the scene. Okay, imagine you had one day left and this day you got to paint it with a paintbrush exactly what you wanted. All your wildest dreams crammed into one day. And you got to be the version of you who comfortably frolics around in this dream scenario in this dream day and owns it and embodies it fully is confident. So no matter what it is, whether it's something that might stretch this current version of you, if it's public speaking, if it's something that usually is way outside your comfort zone, just think about it as an unlimited being for a minute. Think about it with no attachments of your past self. Think about it in a free way. Just think about the activity. And now think of the version of you who's standing in that who loves it. Loves it. Who it feels natural for, who it feels aligned for, who it feels easy for, who they're just excited and they're present and they're in flow.

The reason you can tap into this, the reason you can visualize this with me right now is because there is a parallel version of you living this right now. And all you have to do to access all the dream things in this dream dimension is step into the body of the version of you who's already there. You don't need to figure it out. This version of you is going to figure it out. Your logic on this timeline is not going to know how, but it's okay. This version of you doesn't need to know how because the new embodied version of you knows how. All you have to do is step into that version of you and everything else is going to flow off the back of that.

So think right now of one activity that that version of you does. And now imagine right now that you're standing in that version of you's body. Imagine you're stepping into their body, into their shoes. Feel what it feels like from all the way at the bottom of your feet. All the way up, all the way up. You're in the body of the most empowered, most embodied version of you standing in your dream life. How do you feel? What are you wearing? What are you thinking about yourself? What are you excited about? What does your hair look like? What does your nails look like? What did you just have for breakfast? What's your plan for the day? Who are you? How do you feel? Right? What are your beliefs? What do you think is possible? Really feel what it feels like to be this person.

Now, let yourself fully accept this identity. Let yourself become this version of you right now. Realize life is fleeting. Life is short. You don't need permission to be this person because you desire these things. That is your permission. That is a spillover from another timeline where you're already experiencing those things. You wouldn't be able to visualize them or feel them if there wasn't a version of you already experiencing them. And all you have to do to access your dream life is become that version of you. And you can do it right now by doing what we just did. You can remind yourself as many times as you need to step into the shoes of that version of you. Realize no one's going to criticize you. And if they do, who cares? No one's going to get mad at you. You decide. You can decide to let go of the past. You can decide to become this version of you right now. And the moment that you do, everything in your life is going to change. Everything. No hack, no nothing is going to work like this will.

What you embody, you get. You don't actually ever get anything. You embody and you perceive what is resonant with that. You hold all the keys. You are the key to your kingdom. You are the keys to your success. You can decide today to let go of the past, to let this be the turning point to the rest of your life. You can decide that you deserve to have days filled with freedom and fun and success and opportunity and connection. These things are not off limits to you. You decided this past version of you, for some reason, they were off limits to her or him or whoever. But this version of you that you've just decided to become, they're not off limits to you.

Stop torturing yourself just cuz bad [ __ ] happened to you. Let it go. Decide that this is who you are now. Have some audacity to fully be yourself to fully shine your light. And no matter what happens externally, you stay strong in your embodiment and watch how quickly your life changes. Nothing matters more than this.

A life played small is a life wasted. A life sleeping on your potential is a life wasted. Whatever fears you have about this desired reality, realize that when you embody the version of you who can handle it, there's nothing to fear. What's scarier is living your life not accessing your potential. Is living your life knowing in the back of your mind you're playing small. Living your life being envious of all these other people, feeling suffocated, feeling trapped in a box. Guys, I know what it feels like. It doesn't have to be like that.

You are a powerful divine being. You've been programmed by society and the world to think small, but that's not your essence. That's not who you truly are. You don't have to keep living that lie and chasing all these false gods. You are the God. The God within you is what's going to guide you. You can forget all this other [ __ ] You've got the power. You need to see your value and realize playing small is doing nothing for anyone. You're robbing yourself of your joy and your freedom, but you're robbing the world of the impact that you're supposed to have, that your soul is craving.

Start doing the [ __ ] that your soul literally is screaming to do, but your logical mind, your ego is scared of because that's the [ __ ] that's going to set you free. Don't leave this video and think, "Oh, yeah, that's nice." Leave this video and decide to show up as that version of you. Make decisions as that version of you. Make decisions that put you outside your comfort zone. Realize that by doing this, you're making the decision to step outside your comfort zone every day from now on. But it's the most empowering decision you're ever going to make because a life outside your comfort zone is a life of excitement and fulfillment and expansion and growth and realizing your potential.

So [ __ ] say goodbye to your comfort zone. Decide today that you're going to make decisions as this empowered, embodied version of you. That you're going to make bold, big, grand decisions and take actions that scare the [ __ ] out of you, but that bring you closer to your truth and your alignment. Decide that you're going to do that. That's all you have to do. And watch how your whole life changes.
