Here is a question I got from someone doing my free course. “Hi Matthew I’m enjoying your ecourse, however I have a question. After having numerous business’s in which I was happy and visualizing great things to happen with them, why then do things go wrong for no apparent reason? Ok, I know people will say – ah when things went wrong you got depressed etc, etc and this led to more things going wrong. Well, I was quite happy to begin with so why all of a sudden do things go wrong and then all of a sudden you have…

Back in 2009 I wrote 4 posts that talked about how your inner child messes your life up.  I thought it would be a good idea to revisit them all today. As a coach, I am confronted with this question on a daily basis, “How can I feel more happiness and peace in my life now?”  The answer is simple but most people don’t like the answer.  “Grow up!”  Now I’m not trying to be sarcastic or condescending, hear me out on this one.  Most people are still utilizing behaviors they learned in kindergarten and on the playground as their…

” Matt Ferry has lead me back to the fountain of youth, let me explain. When I watch my kids I realize that much like them I started out full of joy, present to the moment, my imagination had no limits and I hadn’t developed and fears or doubts, the world was limitless and full of promise. Matt helped me realize that somewhere along my journey I accepted false conclusions as reality and that I had strayed from my natural state of happiness and joy. He helped me realize that my state of fear doubt and uncertainty was self imposed…

A few months back I put an iPad 2 on my manifestation list.  I love getting things for free 🙂  Then I did the most powerful thing you can do when you want something new… Appreciate what you have!!  I really dove into my iPad one and made even better use of it.  I enjoyed it, loved on it and bragged about it. Additionally, I admired the iPad 2 from a far.  I went to the store and played with it and didn’t allow myself to go into jealousy, just Additionally, I admired the iPad 2 from afar.  I went to the store…

Three Umpires were asked how they call a strike in the game of baseball… Rookie umpire said, “I look inside the strike zone and I call ‘em the way they are” The experienced umpire said, “After a while I realized the best I could do is call them the way I see them.” The Master umpire said, “It ain’t nothin’ till I call it.” Your life isn’t anything until you call it. Life isn’t hard. People aren’t jerks. You aren’t stupid. Life isn’t anything until you call it.

The Buddha said, “By thought, the thing you want is brought to you. By action you receive it. To obtain your goal is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

You are not The Drunk Monkey, your mind, that talking in your head.  You don’t say “I mind,” you say “My mind” like you possess a mind.  Yet, how often is The Drunk Monkey directing your choices in life?  How often do you make a decision to follow your dreams and The Drunk Monkey talks you out of it?  The answer for most of us is “almost always”. Is The Drunk Monkey your master or servant? How often are you listening to The Drunk Monkey say things to you? How often does The Drunk Monkey have an opinion on your…

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…
