Hey Reader,

Someone once asked me if I were to pinpoint one thing that changed my perception of the world and the way I show up in it over the past few years, what would it be.

My answer was simple:

Myself. Other people. Animals. Plants. Objects. Everything organic and inorganic in the world.

Most importantly, it’s when I started viewing my thoughts and emotions as energy.

Why is this important?

Because energy can be directed.

​Intentionally, directed energy is a key quality that distinguishes those who consciously create their lives and those living as victims.

Conscious creators feel more like energy and less like physical matter.

I know it sounds a bit odd but I explain more in this quick post.

For example, if you were a basketball coach and you ignored your goal to win a championship and focused only on what your team does at practice each day, would you still get results? Could they still win a championship?

Of course, they could — because when you fall in love with the system, the goal will take care of itself.

Forget the Law of Attraction. It's the Law of Resonance that Will Change Your Life
​2 minutes

You're likely familiar with the Law of Attraction for manifesting what you desire but this idea is rather simplistic, incomplete, and highly misleading. Instead of attraction, we should have a mindset of resonance. In a nutshell, the Law of Resonance states:
