Powerback 31: Prepare for the Greatness You Are Asking for

Everyone has some sort of dream, desire, or aspiration. Maybe you want to lose those 20 pounds that have been stuck on you? Maybe you're wanting to open a business? Maybe you want to travel more? Maybe you want to be more adventurous? Whatever the case may be, if you want something, not only do you have to work towards achieving it but you first have to believe you're capable and worthy of receiving it.

For instance, let's talk about weight—'cause that's a hot topic amongst most people on a regular basis. Let's say you have a goal of losing a certain amount of weight or being able to fit in a certain outfit you absolutely love. You know you're physically capable of achieving it, but mentally you have convinced yourself being that ideal weight frame, shape, or format is not for you. "Having a six-pack isn't for me, but every single day I'm going to dwell on why I don't have a six-pack."

Or maybe there's a dream home you're wanting to buy or build and you think about it and you pin it on Pinterest and you talk about it a lot. But then in your everyday conversations you're talking about why you could never have a home like that. Why it's so out of reach, why that kind of home is for quote-unquote for other people but not for you.

Listen, the words you speak and the energy you put out into the universe are powerful.

You can't ask for greatness and then tell the world, the universe, and the people around you why you can't have it. This week, I want you to take your power back by preparing yourself for the greatness you are asking for, and honestly, this involves no one other than yourself; the thoughts you think and the words you speak.

You have to be willing to step into the greatness you're asking for and start projecting that energy out because what you are receiving is a mirror image of what you are putting out. Take a few minutes and take a personal inventory of that because when someone told me that, I was like "Oh shit, that kind of stings. But you're also really, really right."

Think about the goals you have set and the actions it takes to get to those (and not just the actionable checklist-type of things, but your emotional connection with them). What are you willing to sacrifice to get to that? What attitude do you need to change to receive it? What internal beliefs do you need to shift to be able to open yourself up to receive the greatness you are asking for?

Because here's the thing: Everything you want in life is 100% obtainable. Your goals are not too big. Your aspirations are not insane. If this is something you feel deep down into your core, I want to get behind you because not only do I believe in you—but I believe in your ability to manifest and create those opportunities so you can get to where you want to be in life.

The world is asking, are you ready to start believing in yourself or are you going to continue with old patterns, getting the same results, and being stuck exactly where you are today?
