The universe doesn't run out of stuff

In partnership with

There is a pervasive myth floating around—call it the "Hunger Games" mentality—that says for you to win, someone else has to lose. It assumes there is a limited pie, and we all have to scramble, fight, and claw to get our slice before it’s gone.

If you operate from that mindset, you are playing a losing game. That is the Competitive Mindset. It leads to stress, fear, and what I like to call a "godless scramble."

I want you to opt out of that race.

To achieve your C-Type goal, you must switch to the Creative Mindset. You have to understand that the universe is not a pie; it is a bakery. It creates new inventory every single second. There is no limit to the "formless stuff" from which all wealth and opportunity are created.

You are here to be a creator, not a competitor. A creator brings new value into the world. When you operate this way, you get what you want in such a way that everyone else has more because of you.

Think of it like this: An electrician doesn't pray for electricity to work. He doesn't beg the electrons to be nice to him. He learns the laws of conduction. He respects the power. He aligns his wires with the current, and zap—the room floods with light.

We have to align with the Law of Vibration and Attraction.

Desire is the engine. It sets up a line of force that connects you to the invisible side of the good you want. It tunes your radio dial to the station playing "Success FM."

But Desire without Expectation is just daydreaming.

Expectation is the magnet. It is the drawing force. You have to desire the goal, but you also have to expect it with the same certainty that you expect the sun to rise over the Scioto River tomorrow morning.

It is a science. And the more you read my emails, the more success you will have in applying this science, because repetition is the mother of learning.

So, you are tuned in. You are expecting the good. You are ready to create rather than compete. But there is one specific mental attitude that acts like the high-speed internet connection to this infinite supply. Without it, the signal gets static.

Tomorrow, I am going to share the one habit that hooks you up to the source and keeps the flow open, even when your bank account looks like a ghost town.

Best,

P.S. You are a creator. Never forget that. Reply to this: Do you feel like you are usually competing for scraps, or creating new feasts?
