As you may remember, last year I decided to leave the security of my J-O-B and work for myself. It was one of the scariest things I've ever done.

I was leaving behind an almost 20-year track record of salary and benefits, a salary and benefits my family had always relied on. I can promise you I didn’t take the decision to quit lightly. I spent many sleepless nights thinking about every possible worst-case scenario.

But I knew the job I once loved no longer offered me the same meaning and satisfaction. I knew that coaching and entrepreneurship completely lit me up inside. I knew I was talking about my one precious life. And so in the end I thought, how can I not quit?

“Sometimes, late at night, I’m visited by dread and shame. I lie in bed and think of somebody else’s life. I imagine the love that they’re getting and the relief that comes from being really known. The private pleasures they share. The friends they have and the pressures they don’t. Their sense of importance. The satisfactions of their work. I imagine how fulfilled they are, and how rich their life is. In these moments, I feel empty and wanting.”

In this week’s Spirit Junkie vlog I riff on manifestat~ing. The key to manifesting your desires is to tap into your love energy and inspiration. Energy attracts like energy. Therefore if you feel the feelings of romantic love you’re attracting romance towards you — or if you feel abundant then you’re attracting more abundance. In this video I guide you to connect to the feelings behind your desires.

Have you ever noticed how your happiness seems dependent on people doing what you want them to do or circumstances working out the way you want them to?  Yeah, me too.

When they do: Great! Nothing succeeds like success!

But what if people don’t do what you want and things don’t go your way? Not so great, right?
