When I was 7 years old I never shut up, I mean I was full on.
I was one of those kids that could talk with a mouth full of marbles underwater and I would barely take a breath, so it's no surprise that today I get paid, good money to do just that!
But I have to tell you, even though as a kid it came so natural to me, it would be a series of trials and tribulations and more than my fair share of dark nights of the soul before I would finally take that leap of faith that has me now living the life I secretly dreamed of as a kid.
So as a teenager I was freaking obsessed with the Oprah show.
Oprah has pulled me through many dark times and watching her show always helped me to find a glimmer of hope no matter what was happening in my life at the time.
In fact I have watched every episode of her show and her stories and guests still inspire me today.
I remember in 1997 It was the middle of the night and I was probably on day 3 or 4 of no sleep,( yup use your imagination), anyway I found myself watching an episode of Oprah where she was interviewing Jim Carey.
In this episode Jim was recounting his stories of sitting on Mulholland drive before he had made it as an actor, visualizing the home he would live in when he made it and the money he would make, he even talked about how he wrote himself a check for 10,000,000 for services rendered which he carried in his wallet.
I was super intrigued.
His story today is well known and not long after he did in fact make 10,000,000 when he starred in The Mask, securing his spot in Hollywood as a bona fide A Lister.
This was the first time I had ever heard anything like this and I was freaking hooked.
Looking back, I can honestly say, me seeing that episode played a role in saving my life as it made me realise I had the power to live the life of my dreams no matter how s**t my current reality looked.
I realized my current reality was not my final destination, all I had to do was get clear on what I wanted with the only limitation being my imagination.
Now not long after seeing this episode thanks to some divine intervention, a great friend and awesome parents I was back in Australia getting my life back on track, but thatโs a story for another time.
One thing I never forgot though and I have used it ever since is the power of visualization.
Since that time I have been an absolute manifestation and visualization Ju**ie and I have to tell you of all the addictions I have had, yup there has been a few, this one is hands down the most useful.
As my good mate Napoleon Hill once said "If your mind can conceive you can achieve it", so my friends the only limitation you have is your mind.
So here is my invitation to your ultimate life!
If you want to join the ranks of Jim Carey and Oprah Winfrey why not come and play with me at my next Vino and VisionBoard Workshop and get busy calling in a life that your 7 year old self will be proud of.
Comment Vision and I will hook you up with the deets xx
