Alex and I traveled to New Mexico today to speak to a group about how to get into Inspired Action. The event went fabulously because we pre-paved it with our positive expectations and words of affirmation. We were flying Southwest Airlines home which means we needed to check in early if we wanted to choose great seats.  When we arrived at the airport I jokingly said to Alex, “Ouch!  We forgot to check in early.  So we are going to be crammed into the back of the plane!” To our delight we were some of the first passengers to check in and got an A boarding…

Someone on Facebook friend asked, “I wanted to ask you how to break the habit of attention seeking or can say self-importance. It feels like everything revolves around me!” My answer: Self-importance is just The Drunk Monkey feeling insecure. The Drunk Monkey (the talking in your head) wants to look good, be right, be powerful, rich etc for one very simple reason. It mistakenly believes that being any of those things will ensure the perpetuation of your genes. Get a mate, have status and be powerful. All this is a feeble attempt to win salvation and live for ever through…

Today I’ve got a Perfect Game update for you. I don’t know if you play the Perfect Game or not, but it’s something that I promote as a way of being in the flow and letting amazing and extraordinary opportunities come to you. The way you play is simple. Whatever is offered, you take it. Whatever is suggested, you do it. Whatever happens, you declare it perfect. A lot of people get freaky about that. “Whatever’s offered? Matthew, what if people offer you drugs?” Come on, you’ve got to use discernment here, okay? Usually someone is offering you things because…

Tonight was a powerful reminder to keep my emotions under control I allowed The Drunk Monkey to derail my emotions and I suddenly found myself stopped at every step of my trip. When I finally released my resistance, the results were magical. Here’s what happened. I arrived at the airport later than I would like (45 min till take off). I was nervous about missing my flight. Not a great feeling of ease and allowing, which is my practiced state. When I arrived at my airline to check in the line was way longer then I expected for a Monday…

Recently, one of my clients wrote to me with the question, “What do I do, when I find myself reacting negatively to the people that I love?” And I start by saying, let’s define love. I say that love is acceptance, total and complete acceptance of all people and all situations, at all times. Now, that’s not easy to attain. Why? Because we have built-in reactions that occur, and I think my client put it so succinctly, “I find myself reacting negatively to the people that I love.” You’ve got to start to look at what you are holding people…

Simple: 1. Make a list of 10 things you are grateful for. 2. Make a list of 10 goals and dreams. 3. Visualize each list and work to experience emotions.

Here’s a great quote from Abraham on why feeling good now is important. “The reason you want every single thing that you want, is because you think you will feel really good when you get there. But, if you don’t feel really good on your way to there, you can’t get there. You have to be satisfied with what-is while you’re reaching for more.” — Abraham

Happiness, ultimately, comes down to family. A Pew research project, from the Pew Research Center, did a 44-country study. They found that the biggest factor in happiness, across the board with people, was family. Many people struggle with family relationships. Who do you need to forgive so that you can engage your family more deeply? What do you need to give up? In my audio coaching series, “Ridiculous Bliss,” I talk about what you need to do to let go of the negativity about your family members so that you can engage them again, and get back to that place…

Today Dr. Hawkins daily quote said, “In truth, we exist and survive, not because of the ego, but in spite of it.”

If you want to be happier, more fulfilled and satisfied in life, then you need to stop holding people accountable to agreements they’ve never made. You know, you were raised by a group of people who basically conditioned into you. You were domesticated to believe that you should walk like this, move like that, talk like this, be like that, think these thoughts, see the world in this way, but you never chose the way that you are. You never chose it. And because you never chose it, it isn’t necessarily the truth for you. And yet, you get mad…
