I Wish, Will Never Get You Anywhere

Books have the best quotes.

I have recently been reading Jay Shetty's book 'Think like a monk' and it is just full of insightful and thought provoking quotes. The one that stood out for me the most was:

'I WISH, IS CODE FOR, I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT'

Most of us say or have said 'I WISH' right?

Most of us probably say it multiple times a day, particular if you've had a crap night sleep, works being a bitch and people are just generally being annoying.

'God I wish I was on a beach, sipping a cocktail and letting my troubles wash away!'

Sound familiar?

Here's what Jay had to say

In this particular chapter of the book, Jay is sharing his thoughts around INTENTIONS.

He says, that having good intentions just isn't enough, you have to do the work too.

Nothing in life will simply fall into our laps just because we wish for it.

Think Like A Monk by Jay Shetty

Having a good intention is just the start, you then need to follow it up with practical actionable steps.

"We never say 'I wish I could be more organised and focused and could do the hard work to get that.' We don't vocalise what it would actually take to get what we want" ~ Jay Shetty

Manifestation mistakes

You probably see a lot of people talking on social media around manifesting their dream life, more money and getting everything they want.

I don't doubt this is the case, but I know it didn't just come because they wished for it. They had to have taken action to see a change, all whilst leaning into trust.

Right now, I am manifesting more money into my life and IT IS happening! But everyday I am intentionally taking action to support this process.

I do daily EFTs for attracting more money, I track my income and my expenses, I listen to music about money (positive songs ONLY) and I talk more openly about money too.

What are you manifesting (wanting to manifest?)

Change will never come until you make it happen. You have to be the one to do something different, to be the one to take the action no-one else is taking.

Don't sit around waiting for the Universe to just drop it in your lap, because you'll be waiting a life time.

If you are working on manifesting something into your life, then do these 3 things and see if something happens:

1. Declare what it is you want. Write it down or say it out loud, but remember to be specific! Don't just say 'I want more money' say HOW MUCH money you want. Declare what you will do with that extra money, how will it make you feel when you have it.

2. Decide on 1 action step you can take EVERYDAY for the next month. You could keep a gratitude journal and thank the Universe for supporting this manifestation, maybe a daily EFT video, use a tracker, meditate, journal or even declare it out loud everyday. Find your thing, and remember, you can use different techniques. Start at doing this for a month and then keep it going for another month. The key is not to give up after the 30 days even if the manifestation hasn't happened yet.

3. Get accountable! Who or what are you going to use to keep yourself accountable for taking this action. Will you share it with your coach and check in with them everyday, your partner, a roommate, maybe a friend, or maybe you'll be like me and use reminders on your phone. Find something to hold you accountable for this manifestation and run with it.
