Fear. Doubt. Worry = Your 3 Slave-Drivers

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from Donna.

Question:

David, I have decided that my first sign of success is the ability to manifest the funds needed to see you at a live event. You have been so motivational. Anyway, I do understand the subconscious and the conscious mind and the part they play. I also understand The Law of Attraction and spiritual nature. However, I struggle with the part the EGO plays and where it fits in with the big picture. HELP!

Answer:

Hi Donna and thanks for your question.

Your ego’s sole job is to keep you exactly where you are. Your ego perceives any growth or change as a threat to your survival, and it will immediately begin to bring up fears to control your decision making.

Let me give you an example, and let’s use your sentence about a manifesting the funds needed to see me at a live event.

The truth states that if you have a desire, the way to fulfill that desire is already present. Therefore, if you feel a deep desire to attend a live event, that desire is coming from Spirit. It’s a message being sent to you to help foster your growth and keep you on the path to increased consciousness.

The next thing that happens is your ego recognizes this desire as a threat, and immediately gives you many reasons why you shouldn’t go to the event. Reasons like:

• You don’t have enough money;

• It’s not the right time;

• You don’t want to travel, etc.

Because your ego is strong, you believe these excuses, and you stifle your own growth. You believe the lies your ego is telling you.

So let’s go back to the truth.

I’m sure you’ve heard me teach about manifestation. But let me just remind you that manifestation simply means “becoming aware of what already exists”.

And you also know the steps in manifestation.

Step 1 is MAKE A DECISION.

Until you make a “committed”, “accept-no-other-option” DECISION, nothing will happen or change for you. You can’t manifest the money for something without first making the decision that you are following through No Matter What! This is where most people trip up. They want the money BEFORE they make a decision. That’s not how Spirit works.

Step 2 is EXPECTATION.

You must make your decision and then expect your desire to manifest. You must expect it and be grateful for it as if it’s already here.

Step 3 is TAKE ACTION.

Your desire is not going to fall in your lap. This step is where your ego really kicks in. It will make you afraid to make those necessary sales calls. It will tell you that you’re not good enough. It will bring up any number of fears to keep you exactly where you are.

Something key to understand about your ego is that the truth will liberate you and your ego will keep you a prisoner.

Let me complete this lesson with a powerful quote that I love by Eleanor Roosevelt:

“You must do the things you think you cannot do.”

In other words …

Show your ego who’s boss, and give yourself a new experience which will set you free!

Are you worthy?

This week's question from my portal The Neagle Code: Directions for Life comes from an individual who wishes to remain anonymous.

Question:

How do I truly convince myself that I am worthy of everything I want?

Answer:

You don’t have to convince yourself of anything. You just have to look at Truth.

The truth is that you are a divine being, created in the likeness of Spirit, God, Allah, or whatever spiritual belief that you subscribe to. And being that this is in fact, TRUTH, it is also true, that nothing unworthy of God is worthy of you.

You are worthy of everything and anything that you want.

What made Bill Gates or Oprah worthy of their riches? They are the same as you. Nothing separates you.

The fact that you are even asking this question shows that somewhere a message got handed to you that you agreed with. That message could have been that you need to work hard for anything in life, or that you weren’t good enough, smart enough, or pretty enough. Your self esteem was damaged, and you vowed that you’d never open yourself up to that vulnerability again. Questioning worthiness comes from a place of being afraid to be seen or heard for fear of ridicule.

Imagine for a moment what your life would be like if you didn’t care what others thought. If you weren’t worried about making mistakes, looking like a fool, or being humiliated. How would your decision making be different? More importantly, how would your LIFE be different?

I encourage you to make a decision today that you ARE worthy. Don’t “convince” yourself.

Proclaim it.

Stand in your power, say it out loud, and continue to do so until small changes in your thinking and behavior begin to occur. Every morning, look in the mirror, and tell yourself that you’re perfect just the way you are and that NOTHING unworthy of God is worthy of you.

Only then will you see your brilliance in this world and be shown the opportunities in life that will change EVERYTHING.

Because, my friend, THAT is the TRUTH, and The Universe wants you to have all that you desire even more than you want it for yourself.

Is desire enough?

This week's question from my portal The Neagle Code: Directions for Life comes from an individual who wishes to remain anonymous.

Question:

Through law of attraction coaching, I've discovered some key beliefs about feeling that life is hard – and that you have to work to deserve anything you get. Is this what is in the way with regards to my resistance to receiving/allowing? I find myself not wanting to trust in receiving so as to not be disappointed later.

Answer:

This question can be answered by looking at the Truths found in the exact law you mentioned in your question, The Law of Attraction. What most people don’t realize is that this Law has TWO important components. One is “desire” and the other is “expectation”.

You see, desire without expectation is useless wishing or dreaming, and wastes mental energy.

According to Raymond Holliwell, in his book, Working with the Law, desire and expectation are mental attitudes that represent lines of attractive force. Desire embraces a positive process of attraction. The Law states that you cannot long or yearn for something unless it already exists, and “desire” is the motive power for calling it forth.

So, let’s look at how this works with your situation. You desire something, but have a belief that you can’t have what you want unless you work hard or you’ve “paid your dues”. This belief gets in the way of the second step to the Law of Attraction, expectation. You desire something, but you don’t really expect to receive it because it’s not in line with your belief that life has to be hard.

A perfect example of what you’re experiencing again comes from Raymond Holliwell. He states, “Expectation is an active form of attention with intensity. It may be likened to the actions of a cat that waits patiently at the mouse hole. The cat expects to catch his prize at any moment; he expects to get the mouse because he believes he will get it eventually. If the cat did not believe and expect to catch the mouse, his interest and attention would lack intensity, and his energies would not be called forth. When you believe in the probability of success in your undertaking, you experience an intense interest in your work. This interest is strengthened with expectation and anticipation.”

Unfortunately, I see the opposite of this example with many entrepreneurs.

They desire financial success, to leave a legacy, to build a strong and reputable business, so they build a website, hire a team, learn from the best how to market, brand, and sell; but either consciously or subconsciously, they have a belief that they are not worthy to receive, that life must be hard, or that they will have to give up something dear to them to receive.

This results in paralysis.

They know what they NEED to do, but they can’t seem to make themselves do it, or if they do go through the motions, they lack the intensity of expectation, and they’re results fall short of what they desired.

This is a perfect example of a breakdown in manifestation. They, like you, have a desire, but they don’t truly expect the results.


You must reframe your beliefs about receiving to truly EXPECT the results you DESIRE.

Success comes from personal contact …

Here is this week's question from my portal The Neagle Code: Directions for Life“. The individual who sent in this question wished to remain anonymous.

QUESTION:

I have niched into a specific business market for my coaching services and now write weekly blog posts on my site. I am submitting articles, blogging, social media (3), and have joined one of their organizations. And it is just HARD after 5 months….Why is it so hard to get coaching clients? My difficulties seem to be with likability within my target. Maybe I just have not found enough of them. Not sure.

ANSWER:

Here is a perfect example of how the combination of mindset and marketing are crucial for your business.

First, I want you to stop saying that it’s too hard to get clients. It’s not the truth. It’s as easy as having a conversation with someone in line at the grocery store.

Remember, you can’t have a desire without the means to fulfill that desire already present.

How many real conversations are you having with people every day about what you do?

How comfortable are you selling your coaching?

Are you hiding behind your computer?

Second, I want you to take a really good look at your target market and answer the following questions… (Hint: This is helpful for EVERYONE in business)

Form a picture of your ideal client in your mind. What is his or her name? (Don’t say it doesn’t matter, because it does.)

Part 1: How old is this person? What type of business are they in? Are they married? Do they have any children? What are their hobbies?

Know your ideal client right down to the color of their underwear.

Part 2: What are their “symptoms”? Why are they seeking your help? How are they feeling? What do they want?

Part 3: How can you help them? What will have been “fixed” by working with you?

Upon completion of this exercise, you’ll be able to very clearly see who you really want to work with, which will send a very clear message to the Universe. A large problem that I see with entrepreneurs is that they don’t want to exclude anyone in their marketing. This results in sending a fuzzy message to the Universe.

I get the distinct impression from your question that your perception has been that you’ll open your doors for business, use the on-line marketing strategies that everyone is teaching, and my ideal clients will rush in. You bought in to other people’s marketing message that building your business can be solely achieved from behind your computer.

If you take nothing else from this answer, remember this:

The key to success is personal contact especially in the early stages of the coaching business.

Attending entrepreneurial seminars, workshops and masterminds is crucial for you to meet other entrepreneurs, to learn about the success stories of others, and to foster possible joint venture relationships.

How to get to where you want to go …

Here is this week's question from my portal The Neagle Code: Directions for Life“. The individual who sent in this question wished to remain anonymous.

Question:

How do you go from where you are to where you want to be financially?

Answer:

The answer to this question is actually quite simple. How do you get anywhere that you want to go? You get there by taking one step at a time.

Let me give you an example.

Have you ever driven anywhere at night? I’m going assume that all of you have done some traveling at night. So, how did you get from where you were to where you were going when you can only see 7 feet in front of your car? You could only see as far as your headlights would shine, but yet, you kept going, always knowing that you’d get there.

This works the same way in life.

Many people want to know all the “hows”, and see the entire path laid out for them BEFORE they take the first step toward getting where they are going. However, that’s not how the Universe works.

You see, the first step is to make a decision and then take action on that decision. As soon as you begin to take action, another opportunity or action will appear. The difficult part of this is that sometimes the opportunity may come disguised as a hardship or unfortunate circumstance. It appears that way, because it will challenge a fear that you have. Maybe it will come as an opportunity that will require you to be seen, speak up for yourself, make a financial commitment, or be otherwise uncomfortable. It will force you to change, adapt and grow. If you resist this process, you will feel as if you’re stuck. If you step into the fear and see the opportunity for the gift that it is, the next opportunity will appear, and the process will continue.

It really all boils down to a matter of how willing you are to take a risk and trust the Laws. If you’re not getting where you want to go, stop, take inventory of what’s going on around you, and ask yourself “What am I not willing to do to move forward?”

What is behind the fear that’s holding you back? Because chances are, all you’d need to do is look that fear in the face, step into it, and you’d be back on track again.

It’s as simple as driving in the dark. You may not be able to see the entire path, but you have faith that no matter what, you’re going to reach your final destination.

Why are you choosing to play small?

This week's question from my portalThe Neagle Code: Directions for Life comes from Kristiani, Life Purpose Coach …

Question:

How do I overcome my tendency to play small and fear success? I know that I have a huge life purpose and could be of service to many if I could only get out of my own way!

Answer:

Great question, Kristiani, and one that I know many of my students can relate to.

Let’s start with truth.

We know that we create our own reality, and we can’t have a desire without the way to fulfill that desire already present. So, my question to you is…how is it serving you to stay small? Now, before you react, take a moment and really think about it.

What would happen if you really stepped into your purpose and became the huge success you know you would be?

Would it mean that your relationship with your friends or family would change?

Would it mean that you’d need to let go of something that you weren’t so sure you could let go of?

Would it mean that others may judge you?

You’re staying small for a reason, and it’s been a choice of yours to do so. The key to getting out of your own way is to become aware of what you are resisting. What are you not willing to do what’s keeping you stuck?

Once you become aware of your fears, you must reframe it.

You also have to understand that if you continue to stay small, you are doing a disservice to those people who are looking for your help. Remember, if you have the desire, the way to fulfill it is waiting for you.

It just starts with a decision to get very honest with yourself about why you are choosing to play small.
