A date with Jessica Simpson, does that sound impossible? Success, money,freedom, a new house on the beach, there are alot of goals I'm working towards. My dreams are filled with things people tell me I'll never have, but I realize it's not up to them.All my life I've been told what I could or couldn't do, and all that's about to end. Whatever you want in life it's up to you to make it happen. Whether it's a date with a gorgeous celebrity or publishing my book, it's not going to come on it's own. I have to want it and believe in it and work everyday towards making it a reality. It's time to put up or shut up. The time has come to show that what I teach and believe in is not only real but possible and doable. I've put off being happy long enough. It's time to make my dreams come true and have the life I have wanted for so long.

I am a writer and I want my work published. I am also a teacher though and want to reach people. In my field the best teaching is always by example. You can tell anyone how to do something. Often times people already know what they need to do. They just don't know how to do it. So I'm going to show my friends how to achieve a life less ordinary. I'm going to make my own break and decide my own fate. This life is mine, and I have to take charge.

Making It Work, is up to You

If you have read any of my other posts, then you have heard me talk about the Law of Attraction.I have included links below to those hubs. You have also seen me talk about the importance of belief and determination in reaching any goal. The whole point being that if you can see it in your mind and believe without doubt that its already done then it is.

At first this sounds so simple as to be unbelievable. In fact this principle is often referred to as the Aladdin factor. We all know about that story. Are we then to believe that we simply have to make wishes and they will come true. Well no my friends that's not it and all. Wishing on anything isn't going to bring it to you. I wish it did.

There's more to it then that. Any dream must be acted on, and effort must be applied to see it become reality. You can be a writer and author a bestseller. If that's what you want and believe it can be so. By believing, you open yourself to action and commit to it. The action and the drive behind it, is what brings these desires to you. Desires without action or just idle dreams. If you've read any of my Hubs or anything on this topic and are struggling to see results I would almost guarantee that the problem is in the action. Are you taking actions to advance your goal? Are you taking advantage of the resources and opportunities around you? What are you doing to get your book or article exposure and traffic?

Walking The Walk, Step Out and be Brave

As I have said before the best way to teach anything is to demonstrate it yourself. This attitude commits you totally to adopting whatever method you are advocating for the simple reason that people are watching you and expect you to live up to your teaching. Since my first Hub on this site I have been advocating the Law of Attraction. At that time I was unemployed and broke. I had just been laid off and had no prospects. I believed though that things were about to change. I had been reading on this subject since February of this year, and actually practicing it since July.

Since then I have seen a turn around in my way of thinking and belief. I feel good that's the best way to describe it. I had nothing when I wrote that first Hub now I give advice to people all across the nation. I have started to sell my articles just from the exposure I've gotten from this site and my own personal marketing on Facebook.com and Twitter. I have started writing my book, and am on track to be done by Thanksgiving. From the beginning of this little odyssey, I have been inundated with nay-Sayers and negativity. I look forward to proving them wrong. You all tell me why i can't succeed, but I will show you how I will.

Life is moving forward. It's moving forward at a startling rate. This isn't just happening by chance though. I spend time everyday telling myself that I will succeed. I visualize my career and goals over and over as if they were real. I believe them regardless of what my current situation may imply. I am what I say I am and there is not room for any other opinion in my head. That's what it takes. it's a discipline of thought and mind not wishful thinking.This takes effort and commitment. I will never say that this takes alot of work though. This is not work for me it's my life's passion and I enjoy it. It's not just a gimmick to get rich either. This has become a lifestyle and a way of being. Belief is not a tool, its a mindset just as success is a mindset.

The New Challenge, to Myself

The other day I was talking to a friend about my own goals and dreams. He was reading my latest Hub and asked me if I believed I could date a star. I quickly replied no, there was no way, and my client only grinned. "Why Not?" he asked. To this I had no reply. If I believe in the unlimited and the infinite then anything is possible. This is what I teach. This is what I encourage. I believe I can be a millionaire in two years. I believe I'm going to write a bestseller. However I couldn't believe that I was on par with a celebrity or worthy of their attention.I couldn't believe because I was still seeing myself where I was now not where I'd be. Of course right now there's little chance that I could even approach a celebrity let alone date one. Right now though is not the point. I plan on big success and fame of my own one day and when that day comes dating a celebrity would not only be possible but probable because I will be a celebrity too, and they usually date each other.

I had fell victim to a limiting belief and self image of unworthiness. My client had become the teacher. He had caused me to pause in my thoughts and really ask myself what I believe. You see friends the point about beliefs is that they have to apply to everyone and everything or their not beliefs but loop holes. So then, what do I believe?

I believe that all of us, you me, the whole of human kind create the world around us.As such we have the ability to determine the direction of our lives by our thoughts and focus. To any man or woman that can focus without distraction or fear on his innermost desires, such a person will see those desires made real. Having said that I believe that we can all have the life we want. Today I have decided to give myself completely to that belief. I will want what I want and not ride the fence any longer. Either I believe all the way so to speak or not at all. Finally either this Law is true for all of my life or none of it. So I gave myself a new challenge in addition to the first.

There are NO Impossible Dreams

For those of you who are unfamiliar with my situation let me bring you up to date. Currently I am staying with family in east Tennessee. I had been working as an administrator with a local non profit organization involved in jail ministry, and part time as a kitchen line manager. Well they went belly up and so did my job. Afterward I starting counseling friends and neighbors in a variety of things from weight loss to relationships. The response from this was so positive and upbeat that I took it online and started giving advice and posting blogs. That led to others contacting me about my work and encouraging me to write a book. This in turn led to requests to write certain Hubs and blogs explaining my beliefs and methods. This finally led to a commission to write a piece about the breakup of Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo. The purpose to explain the fascination with celebrities and their troubles. Of course I put my own spin on it. Since then that same person has put me in touch with some very convincing people that believe in my abilities to achieve my dreams.

Today I have a new dream. I'm going to start from nothing here in this house my family owns, with my struggling bank account and budding career. By this next May, I will have my book published and on the new york times best seller list. My career will be in full swing. I will be living in a new house and driving a new car. Finally I will have had a date with a Hollywood starlet. I said a date, not married to or fell in love with. Just a date. Regardless though I will have grown so far by then and succeeded enough to be in a position to date a celebrity.

Dating A Celebrity is Within Reach For Those Who Dare

I know at first glance this may sound a little silly and even shallow. It is what I want to do though. These people in Hollywood are only above us to the extent that we put them. Where does it say that normal people can't approach them. More importantly don't you think these celebrities deserve to date someone as good and as us. I'm a great guy, and supportive I don't care about exposure or tabloids and I accept people for who they are. Who doesn't deserve that? It may seem cocky or even arrogant and maybe it is, but you are worth what you say you are. So I'm going to do it.

I don't know how it will happen or when, and that's not important. This is about being open to ideas and new opportunities, besides I have a book to write and a fortune to make. One way or the other though by May I will have a date with a celebrity and have achieved my goals. This is my mission. Every week I will update you on what I did to move closer to that or what has happened. At the end of this whole journey I will write another book about the experience and how I made it happen. I will donate half of all the proceeds from that book to the charity of the celebrities choosing.This is my life if I want it I have to make it happen. I have to believe and I have to act. More then any other thing I have realized that I am responsible for making the life I want a reality. From writing a book and getting published to finding success as a father and husband, these things will only come when I focus and act on them.

In the interest of certainty then lets say that by May of 2010, I will have my book published, a new career, and I will have a date with a celebrity. I'm going to say Jessica Simpson. At the moment she is single and of all the starlets my age seems to be the most approachable and genuine.Granted she may meet someone during this time, and I may meet someone as well. It doesn't really matter. What does is that I believe I can accomplish it.The point of committing to a goal like this is not to get my name on a tabloid or in the news, or even to have gotten a date with a celebrity. The real goal is to have succeeded, and risen to a level where dating a celebrity is feasible and likely. This will take a tremendous effort on my part and real belief and determination. I will have to continually work in my life to improve myself and take advantage of my talent and skill. Everyone needs to set a goal that will stretch your abilities and force you to grow, this is the real success and accomplishment.
