“I believe that the man who observes self-control in thought, word and deed, right in the midst of the world, is verily the true ascetic. If things do not bind us and if we are not attached to things even when they are easily available to us that according to me is the greatest test of our detachment than merely withdrawing to a lonely forest.” ~
Mahatma Gandhi
Practicing detachment has great power in all aspects of our lives and is one of the keys to actually manifesting our reality. However, this doesn’t mean we don’t get to make our plans. On the contrary, the main point to “Detaching from Outcomes” is to set our intentions, dreams, visions and goals; this builds a road map to follow and enables us to take action in a forward direction. By understanding that the outcome will be that which we desire or something better is how we co-creator with spirit and our Higher Powers.
We’ve all heard the saying, “If you want to make God laugh tell him your plan.” So instead, share with your Higher Power what your intentions are and allow the creative intelligence of the universe (God) to assist, guide and co-create with you. Things will come into your life that you could have never imagined or dreamed of by yourself.
Having this radio show is a perfect example: I had an intention to become a public speaker. I had this vision in my head of standing on a stage in front of thousands of people as far as the eye could see in three directions; all were there to hear me speak. I had an affirmation that would replay in my head all the time – “People of the earth, can you hear me?” I had no idea how I was going to make this happen, but I was committed to following through. I shared this dream with a friend one day and he told me about Toastmasters. He was a member and invited me to a meeting.
Rather quickly, I fell in love with toastmasters and began to build my public speaking confidence. One day at our meeting, this same friend made a comment about my voice, asking me if I had ever considered radio. He told me about some broadcasting classes and I signed up. Now I was in love with the idea of being a public speaker on the radio! Not long after this, I was asked to speak at an event. A woman in the audience heard my voice and invited me to join her talk show. All of this happened in less that a year. Today people of the earth can hear me all over the world. This would have never happened if I weren’t able to detach from the original vision of being on a stage in front of thousands of people. I had to detach from that outcome to receive this gift.
Detaching from outcomes is a simple thought but difficult practice. But just like learning to ride a bike, to master it just takes commitment. Then it becomes second nature and your whole world opens up.
Namaste my friends, and pass it on. You won’t get to keep it unless you give it away.

Last week I mentioned four steps to experiencing the Law of Attraction, and I thought I would continue on the topic. There are two other conditions worth noting that form the Law of Attraction that are somewhat woven into the aforementioned ideas of asking, believing, receiving, and action.
First is an attitude of gratitude. Gratitude sets up our ability to be in resonance with our higher good. It puts your thought processes in a position to create more things to be grateful for.
The other condition is visualization – becoming clear on what you want to attract into your life or create. Visualizations must be in the present tense as if they are happening now, right here, today. Visualization is strongly tied to action, as visualization without action is just fantasy.
Evoking the law of attraction in our lives is a practice. Its always present and always working.
Napoleon Hill, who spent 20 years studying the world’s most successful people, came up with a simple recipe for evoking the Law of Attraction:
1. Fix in your mind exactly what it is that you desire. Anchor it with emotion. Visualize yourself possessing your desire.
2. Determine exactly what it is that you intend to give in order to receive that desire. There is no such reality as “something for nothing.”
3. Set a distinct date for the possession of your desire.
4. Create a plan, start at once, whether you’re ready or not, to put this plan into action.
5. Write out a clear, concise statement using the ideas from the first four principles – your desire, the date you will have it by, what you intend to give to receive it, and the plan you have to acquire it.
6. Read the “Statement of Desire” out loud twice a day in the morning and in the evening. AS YOU READ, SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THAT WHICH YOU DESIRE.
For the next week try this 6 step process on something that you desire. I bet you get what you want. Then go for something big – shoot for the moon!
Namaste my friends, and pass it on. You won’t get to keep it unless you give it away.

Remember the book, The Secret? The best selling phenomenon that went viral overnight resulting in over 20 million copies sold? It was about the Law of Attraction, and what’s interesting is there was nothing new in that book – the thoughts, ideas, and rules have been around for a very long time. In my view, The Secret contained all of the key components to attracting the life you want except one: Action. You must take action to put yourself into the flow.So, the end result of this book was that readers were lead to believe that all they had to do was 1. Ask for something, 2. Believe that they already possessed it, and 3. Receive it. But none of this works if we don’t take action; we must participate in our own lives.
That said, here are some revised steps:
1. Ask for something that you are interested in. Develop that interest into a desire, and make that desire a burning desire. This is key. Desire sets up intention and intention is where your attention goes. As we direct our attention to our interests, this magnifies the power of attraction because it dominates our thoughts, attracting more of the same thoughts. Then, when opportunity presents itself, you instantly recognize it and can take action.
2. Believe in yourself AND believe that you are worthy to actually receive what you ask for. Most things that are sought never have a chance to come into reality because of the voice of internal judgment. An attitude of gratitude is one thing that will assist you in overcoming the voices that say you can’t do something or that you don’t deserve it. Getting the subconscious to buy in is key. The subconscious doesn’t have the ability to distinguish between real and not-real; it only works on the thought. That’s why they say to act as if you already have your desire or do the thing that you are asking for. This helps to anchor the thoughts to become what you want and motivate you to take action. There is that word action, again.
3. Receive. This is really about giving. You have to understand what it is that you are willing to give in order to get what it is that you desire. When you are willing to give, there can be an expectation to receive. I had a hard time with this at first, but it has great merit. Expecting results keeps you going with your intention. To desire is to expect and to expect is to achieve.
4. Action. The Law of Attraction is not a quick, get-what-you-want-from-your-rocking-chair scenario. Action puts you into the flow of abundance. It’s like getting ready to take a shower; you turn the shower on but you don’t get the benefits from it until you take action and step in. Taking action allows us to be in the flow of opportunity. Otherwise desire would have no way to present itself to us.
Namaste my friends, and pass it on. You won’t get to keep it unless you give it away.
