In order to start working towards fulfilling your desire and getting your “IT” back you are going to have to slay a few dragons but first, even more terrifying than the continuous dragons that will fly your way is the mighthy first step you have to take.

The step I like to call your Goliath!

We are all familiar with the story of David and Goliath and if you are not the story goes that Goliath held a mighty army at bay by challenging them to slay him – if they lose they all become slaves. No one was brave enough to take him on but little David walked down to the battlefield, threw a stone at him and killed him dead.

What did David have that the others didn’t? Complete belief in his ability to slay this challenge despite how huge it seemed, despite the fact that he was tiny compared to it and despite the fact that it was something he had never attempted to do before (although he had killed a lion and a bear!!!)

As well as belief in his ability he had another huge thing that carried him through and that was his faith. His faith that whatever happened this was going to work out okay for him because he had God on his side. Now you may not believe in God but are you able to hold that feeling of complete faith that your desire will be fulfilled? That the dream you want will be a success?

First you have to experience the feeling of knowing….. Have you ever felt that feeling of just knowing something was going to work out? Or that something was definitely going to be there?

Think back to an experience in your life and capture that feeling of knowing. If you can’t think of one then consider the air you breathe. You don’t doubt that it is still going to be there tomorrow or next week (well at least I hope you don’t!) You have absolute faith that an hour from now air will still be available to you and you will be able to breathe. Now can you take that absolute feeling of knowing and transfer it to your goal/dream?

This may take some practise and patience but I promise you it will be worth it.

Not knowing is okay too

You don’t always have to have a strong knowing to succeed but it definitely does help! The only thing you must avoid is doubting something will ever work. If you are having trouble bringing up a feeling of knowing in you then that is okay because in time as you continue to work towards fulfilling your dream you will begin to feel that you know everything is going to work out – what you need to do at all costs is avoid the

feeling of NOT knowing (also known as doubt and fear)…… does that make sense????!!!!

The feeling of knowing will come as things begin to happen, as they begin to work. My desire to live and work around the world seemed like a far off dream back in 2005 but now it is so much closer and in another 4-5 years I will be living it as a reality. I am closer now to knowing it will

happen than I was back then so the feeling of knowing and certainty grows stronger within me. The thing I never did was doubt or worry about whether it would ever happen.

That doubt, worry, fear and all those other negative emotions are your Goliath and the tiny stone and sling your faith. You need to continually throw the stone at your Goliath, especially when things look like they are going wrong. Stand firm in your desire to achieve your goal and just throw the stone whenever negative feelings arise.

In order to fulfill an unfulfilled desire spend some time in silence, close your eyes and feel the sensation of knowing that this is going to happen.

Do this especially when fear, doubt, worry and all the other negative emotions creep up. Challenge yourself by asking why it is so much easier to feel fear than certainity, belief and a sense of knowing then choose which one you prefer.

And know that God (universe, divine, higher self) is also there waiting to support you with moving towards your desire too – life is so much easier when we plug into this unseen force.

• Why being made redundant can be a blessing not a curse
  One of the ways that many people finally decide to work towards fulfilling their dream is when they are made redundant. For many (particular over 40s)...

When it comes to being human I always find that it is funny how easy we think it is to resist our own destiny rather than go for it! This was something I had said to a friend during our phone conversation and I was talking about my on again off again journey with stepping forward to have my book published and to begin spreading the word of how joyful life can become when we take the time to discover the greatness within and develop a relationship with God (or Source if you prefer).

I was one of the most stubborn advocates of resisting my own destiny by continually moving away from my life purpose to do work that I decided was best for me and not thinking about God’s plan for my life.  It never worked though because once you are destined to do something the energy of it will never leave you no matter how much you resist.  If you always had a passion for being a musician and you decided instead to do the ‘sensible’ thing and get a job that desire to play music will never leave you, especially if it was something you were destined to do. From the moment my business came to life in 2000 and then I found my souls purpose of discovering greatness my calling has been to share this with the world but I resisted at first.  My main resistance was the limiting things I told myself about ‘not being someone people would listen to’ and ‘not being good enough’ to make it happen.

The resistance has come from not knowing how to share it, what to do, not wanting to be out there talking about it. The insecure child in me that doesn’t like being looked at and doesn’t want to do it and yet there is a greater part of me that keeps getting called back. This is in my blood and I truly believe it is what God has planned for me.  Now that I am committed to introducing what I know to the world God has revealed His plan to me about where I need to go next, which has excited and scared me all at the same time.  The only thing left to do is to create the intention to make this happen for myself because without that I will remain where I am.

If you think about the moment you decide to bake a cake or wash your car that is your intention being set, just as I have set the intention to write my book, however if you just sit on the sofa and watch television then the cake will not be baked and the car will remain dirty.  It is not only the intention you have for what you want in your life that matters but also the action you are going to take to bring it into reality.  Focused action on your goal.  If you say you want to bake a cake and then get the ingredients out to make meatloaf because you just saw an advert for it on TV then you lose your focus. So it is not just any old action that is needed, and it is also not action that results in your intention not taking place. It is focused action based on what you say you want for yourself and/or your life.

If you have always had a desire to do something that has never gone away I encourage you to think about whether that desire is actual part of your destiny and whether it is still waiting to be fulfilled. Then set your intentions and go for it. Both your destiny and your intentions are powerful things. What you are destined to achieve and what you consciously intend to bring into your life through your thoughts will always appear when you take focused action and never give up so intend great things for yourself.

I was over 40 when I decided to finally go for my goal of becoming a published writer. It was something I wanted to do since being in high school but of course when you have no confidence and you believe you are not clever enough then that voice always kept me limited.

The thing to remember is that many people use their forties as a time to re-train into a brand new career, something they have always wanted to do or something completely different to what they are currently doing.

If you think it is too late to fulfill your dream then you are wrong. I know a 75 year old who took to the computer and is now very active on Facebook. You only have to look at the break dancer on Britain’s Got Talent to know it is never too late for anything!

Stop and say to yourself “I wish I could find a new job” then try “I hope I find a new job” now say to yourself “I intend to find a new job”

Can you feel the power in that last statement? When you set your intention for something to happen you are letting yourself, your unconscious mind, and The Divine know that there is something you want for yourself.

So what’s your intention for your life? What do you INTEND to happen?

Discovering this can help you move closer towards your IT if you are unsure about what IT might be.

When you declare an intention you can begin to work towards making it happen. You will find that doors open, or that you meet the right people you need, but you have to first declare an intention and before that you have to discover what your intention is.

My intention for my life is to live anywhere in the world, with my children, a wonderful loving partner and my laptop because my businesses are online. I open my laptop and I am in business! It’s my intention to generate an ongoing 5-6 figure monthly income (or more) that comes in while I sleep, play and have fun every single day and to never work more than 4 hours a day to earn it! It’s my intention to own property in Dominica where my parents are from and to spend time writing and speaking to anyone that wants to listen for the rest of my life.

That’s my intention and it gets me up every morning. I am totally inspired by it and when things aren’t working out or even when life has taken a complete downturn I hold the space for this intention to be released.

Understand that whatever you intend life will probably throw the complete opposite at you for a while as your strength and willpower to have what you truly desire is tested. Many people give up on their dreams because of that. Will you?

Your intention must fill you with desire. It must touch you to your very soul. When you think about your intention it must move you into action and inspire you to continue working towards it

Your intention may become your IT or it may just be part of your IT but it is an essential part. Your intention for your life will help you work out what your purpose is in life. These are not separate things and I don’t want you to begin to see them as separate. They are all inherently intertwined. Your intention, your purpose, your IT! They are all one, but for the purpose of this Ecourse I have to separate them out.

Begin to look at what you intend to bring into your life and next time and look forward to our next lesson that will take you on a journey towards your life’s purpose.

Your intentions and thoughts are the prophecies of what you will one day become. This is what is meant by a self fulfilling prophecy. Whatever you think or intend to happen in your mind will happen. So if your mind is full of lack, and disbelief and fear. If you fear you will lose your partner then you will, because your thoughts attract to you the very thing you think about.
- Dr Wayne Dyer

Are you familiar with Iylana Vanzant? It was her book “One Day My
Soul Just Opened Up” that taught me how important it was to find my
own interpretation of the truth.

Not my partners truth, or the truth according to what my friends
thought but my own interpretation of what’s true for me.

Some people believe that what Dr Wayne Dyer teaches is the Truth,
other people believe Dr Deepak Chopra to be speaking our Truth, it
may be Christianity for you, Wicca, Buddhism…. There are so many
different interpretations of what the Truth could be that
eventually you need to stop and question what you believe.

Everything you read, listen to, or attend at each stage of your
life will have an impact on you and it’s important to realise that
there is not ONE truth but different opinions and interpretations.

You may hear something that is totally mind blowing, for the person
next to you it will be totally confusing, for yet another person it
will have no impact whatsoever.

We are all at different stages and different things will have an
impact on us at different times. Whatever moves you into action in
that moment becomes your Truth and as the years go by your Truth
will change, it will evolve, or it may not!
What’s your Truth?
Have you even begun to explore that question?

Let me share what’s true for me in the hope that this example will
help you decide.

That’s my Truth. It’s taken me many books, many courses, many
events to reach that point but no one could ever tell me that it’s
wrong, because it is right for me.

It’s time for you to take back the power and take your life back into your hands. All of us has our own Truth. What’s yours?

Take the next few days to explore that question before moving on to session two
