I saw this online again, for the second or third time, and since I feel it’s a powerful message, I decided to share it with you:
Three Simple Rules in Life:
- If you do not GO after what you want, you’ll never have it.
- If you do not ASK, the answer will always be NO.
- If you do not step forward, you’ll always be in the same place.
There is so much truth behind these simple rules, and if you think about it, the common theme behind them all is “action”.
We can have big dreams, but if we don’t take action on them, they will always be just that – dreams. The key to changing things in life, is to be aware of what needs to change and then take inspired action - even if you are afraid.
What is costing you in your life not to have clarity on your own truth - the dreams you want to achieve? What are you losing or missing out on? Do you see other people living their dreams and wonder when it’s going to be your time? I once did too! The truth is that we all have unlimited possibilities to become and do anything we want.

So, how can you manifest the dream you carry in your heart? But first, this is SO important…Manifesting your dream is not only about having good thoughts and feeling good emotions, it’s about understanding that your desires must be in alignment with who you really are. Now that you know that, read on and follow these simple steps:
- Have clarity about what you want to create in your life – If you’re not clear about what you want, you’ll continue to go around in circles, with no focus and intention. Also, make sure that what you want feels authentic, reflects your true self and is in alignment with your values.
- Get clear on “Why” you want it - this will be your motivation and driving force.
- Do an inventory of your thoughts and limiting beliefs - because if you think that others can achieve what you dream about, but you don’t, guess what? You will be right…that would be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
- Upgrade your internal self-image – You are enough, you are SO enough! Repeat it as a mantra – “I AM ENOUGH.” Add this mantra your screen saver, leave sticky notes in different places at home; or add reminders on your phone, so you’re frequently reminded that “You are enough”
- Let go of fears that will get in the way and will keep you playing safe and small – Learn about How to Use Fear as a Super Power to Fuel Courage. Remember, you cannot get different results by doing the same things and taking the same risks over and over again. Take action even if you’re afraid!
- Free yourself from what others think of you – you’re unique and the approval from others is not needed for you to life YOUR best life!
- Learn to listen and trust your Divine Guidance and be open to see signs and limitless possibilities ahead of you.
- Learn to have the discipline of doing what others are not willing to do so you can always move forward and build momentum.
- Be aware that you’re always committed to something – are you more committed to your dreams or your fears? How are you relating to your dreams? Do you neglect them or do you take the time to nurture them? These questions changed my life and the way I was relating to my dream life.
10. Let go and leave the details to the Universe - Don’t get side tracked by thinking about “How” you will make it happen. Don’t get attached to a specific outcome about how things should work out. The “how’s” will start to show up as you’re taking action. You just need to surrender, believe and take inspired actions with faith. The Universe always knows what you need!
But in the meantime, how do you know if you’re pursuing the right goals and if you’re on the right tack? The clue is if you’re experiencing joy as you go along. Feelings give you feedback. Your feelings will tell you how closely you’re aligned with what you truly desire. Joy is your internal GPS or internal guidance – so we’re always either on-course and we feel joy or, we’re off-course and we experience frustration, anger, unhappiness, resentment, etc.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to using the power of choice. Your power of choice is a gift and it enables you to live your life by design, not by default!
