The Simple Secret That Changed My Entire Life – Part 1

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

Just 4 months ago, I lived on a ranch in California working in exchange for my rent. At the time I was living with my mom and I was taking care of her financially. I could barely afford to pay for food and gas for both of us. We basically lived off of credit cards for over 2 years before we finally maxed everything out and I decided to make a big change in my life.

I decided to stop waiting for my life to work out for me. I made a decision that changed my life forever.

I’m telling you this so that you can see where I’ve come from and so you can see where I am now. What I am about to tell you has taken me many years to understand and I hope that it will help you to improve your own life.

Just about anyone can give you advice, my wish is for you to step into my shoes and let this information sink into your mind over the next few days. I promise that if you take this advice and run with me, you will see incredible results in your life starting right now.

Now, I finally understand

Today I (Philo) had a wonderful conversation with Jess, and our good friends Barry, and Jin (we all live together) and I had some unbelievable breakthroughs. I actually allowed myself to see what I hadn’t been able to see for many months now.

For many months now I have been trying to figure out HOW I became successful to begin with… and about 5 or 6 times I thought I had figured out the simple secret… and each of those times I realized that I had only discovered a secondary piece to the puzzle. I was still missing the main piece somehow.

Simply put, if I was to give it to you straight right now… the secret to lasting success is this:

1. I have decided on a worthy goal and…
2. I love myself (feel good) enough to…
3. Take a simple action towards my goal right this very moment (not tomorrow)…
4. …and I do this every day because I love how it feels.

You will notice that this entire model is entirely feeling-oriented rather than goal-oriented. This is because I feel that the more we are in touch with our own vibrational state, the more we can actually take simple actions towards our goals.

When we find ourselves in a poor emotional state, we can decide to be happy and take an action instead. When we find ourselves in a good emotional state, we can take an action anyways because it makes us feel even better.

I got stuck in the ‘feeling good’ part of this equation and it didn’t translate to taking inspired action in my life.

Simple Daily Actions

It’s important to understand that no matter how big your goal may seem, it can be broken down into simple actions that you take on a daily basis. So remember that your goal is not a monumental challenge but rather and enjoyable daily practice. Reaching your goal really becomes the ‘icing on the cake,’ if you know what I mean.

We need to get to the point where the simple daily actions can be our cake; what fulfills us in the moment, and the goal itself is just a long-term result of us enjoying the moment and enjoying our simple daily actions and feeling great that we are taking actions that are in alignment with the way we choose to feel.

See, what I had been doing for the last few months was focusing so much on my goal that I was completely missing the point of even accomplishing my goal. In fact, I was so obsessed with my goal, that I had developed a resistance towards achieving it. I had also completely overlooked the importance of simple daily actions, and I felt as if I had a monumental project that could never even be started, let alone completed!

I don’t know if you have ever experienced anything like this before, but it is certainly an interesting feeling when the more time and energy you put towards something, the further away it seems to go from you.

So Here’s the Deal…

It’s really easy to spiral off into either a negative or positive direction in life… everything that we think will feed into itself and attract more thoughts that are similar. Every thought, emotion, and action (vibrations) that we entertain and allow for will create more similar vibrations that match up to it.

PS: This is how we did it

In all honesty, if it wasn’t for our mentors, we wouldn’t have been able to get to where we are now in our business and our life. We are so grateful for our mentors and they have been extremely crucial to our success. We listen to them and we take actions that they tell us to take.

Taking an action right now towards a better today is actually the only thing you have the power to do in each moment.

The decision was that I started listening to very specific people that were getting the results that I wanted for myself. Not only were they getting results, but they were helped hundreds and thousands of other people get results, too.

That being said, I want to reach out to you so I can help you change your life. I’m a really down-to-Earth guy so feel free to shoot me a message on Facebook
