Now is the Truth

Now is the truth. Right now, today, this very second, this very moment is your truth. Right now is who you were meant to be and if you want to change that, you must accept your now. Whatever destiny has in store for you, this truth you are experiencing right now is a part of that even if things do not appear to be moving in your favor. The truth, your now, it doesn't discriminate so it doesn't matter how smart you are, how talented you are, how much money you have, or how many crisis and obstacles you've experienced.

Your truth is right now and to change your truth, you've got to change your now. People are suffering all over the world because they want to move forward in life but they don't accept where they are right now and it is impossible to take any step forward if you don't recognize where you're standing right now. My name is Val Taylor and I want to share with you for a brief moment today how to affect change in your life so that your truth can be as you want it to be and it's easier than you think. First of all, let's agree that you will participate so we can make a change right now in your life, right now as you're listening to me. To participate, I mean more than just taking notes, although that is a part of it, but in order to affect the change you want, we must interact.

So yes, get your notepad ready, but get your mind and body ready also because just taking notes will do nothing for your life. You can actually go through life and attend a number of seminars on attraction, on life and business growth and trainings, on how to make money, but if your mind and body are not in tune with the experience and you begin to take action based upon that experience, nothing will change. So today I'm going to show you how to affect change in your life in a moment's notice to get what you want because what I know for sure is that it is possible as I've done it repeatedly throughout my life and today I'm going to show you how to do it. Have you ever noticed that person in the office, that person or maybe at your local store that seems to always be happy, so happy to the point that others look at this person and think something's wrong with them. That guy or that girl we whisper about in the office and say, they are kind of crazy.

Well, that person may not be aware, but they have taken the first step in creating the truth that they want in their lives. They have learned how to use their mind, body and spirit to create a feeling that pushes towards something they want. They come in happy because they enjoy that feeling regardless of what's going on in their lives. You know, we all have problems and challenges in life. So what makes this person walk into a room happy all the time?

Because it forces a feeling in their spirit that will attract people, places and things that will continue to make them feel happy. That is the truth they want to experience at that moment and they create it through their happy feelings. Let me demonstrate this to you to make it plain. I don't care where you are or what you're doing. I want you to stop right now, just stop and think of your favorite song, a song that makes you feel really, really good.

Go for it. Now, I want you to stand up unless you're in a vehicle and I want you to start singing that song with all your might. Sing it right now, out loud with all your might and I'll sing my song which is a song by Stevie Wonder called A.S.A.S. As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving and the rosebuds know to bloom in early May. Just as hate knows love's a cure, you can rest your mind assure that I'll be loving you always.

Now, as you sing your song, what you may notice in your body is that you have created a feeling that puts you in a state of mind of joy, happiness, love or whatever the feeling is you feel from your favorite song. And as you move through your day, if you keep that feeling, you feel right now more things will come into your life that contributes to that feeling. I want you to write in your notes right now how you felt singing your favorite song. When I sing my favorite song, I feel love when I hear it. No, I don't go around and find strangers to say, hey, I wish you love.

But my mind, body and spirit energy emits love wherever I go, be it through technology or in person and that energy force is picked up by other human beings. Feelings trigger an energy force that moves you and it is feelings that will help you change your life because they force a change in your physical body makeup that makes you move towards the result of that feeling. For example, let's take this example. Let's imagine you need to lose 20 pounds or we need to lose 20 pounds and you've been dieting for a week. You get on the scale and you've already lost two and a half pounds.

Now, imagine with me for a moment the feeling you feel when you get on that scale and you see that. You feel, oh my God, you say to yourself, I'm moving towards my goal. I see it. I can do it. I believe it is happening.

Yes, that's how you feel. That triggers your mind, body, spirit, the commitment and courage to keep you on that diet to reach your goal. Now, if you get a result like that and you decide to cheat and eat a couple of cheese burgers and get back on the scale next week and learn you've gained that two and a half pounds right back, it will trigger a different feeling which may cause you to stop your diet. But if you really want the result, if you really want to change your now, your truth and you're honest with yourself, you recognize what has happened and you push through to get the result you want. You have to tap into the original feeling of losing the two and a half pounds to change your now.

You can't start doing the right thing, get a result and then switch gears and start doing something else. You actually have to keep doing the right thing to get the results you want because as you keep doing the right thing, you find your flow. You find your zone. You find your momentum. You find your sweet spot which pushes you towards the desired result.

Now, we all have the same amount of time in a day. So what makes a person accomplish more, have better relationships, make more money, live a better life? It's because they've mastered managing their energy, not time because it's energy in your mind, body and spirit that affects your now, your truth. That energy force is a feeling they are able to tap into at will to produce whatever they want in their lives and you're capable of doing it also. Energy is the X factor and energy is the feelings in your mind, body and spirit that can change your life.

Let me demonstrate this for you. On that same paper underneath where you wrote down how you felt when you sing your favorite song, make a heading and call it feelings. Now, draw a line down the middle and on the left side, write wake up and on the right side, write at work. Now, I want you to write down how you feel when you wake up under the wake up column. Make a note of how you feel when you wake up.

Next, write down how you feel when you're at work under the at work column. Regardless of if you travel to a job or work at home, write down how you feel at work under the at work column. These are the feelings that are shaping your truth. Take a look at it. This is how you start your day and the feelings you have carried with you throughout the day.

You want to change your life? Change these feelings. Feelings force you to move towards whatever it is you feel good or bad. It is up to you to feel the feeling of the result that you want and that feeling will create energy to help you get it. You need to know what that triggers that feelings that will change your mind, body, spirit and move you towards what you want.

We all have hot buttons, things that make us move. You must become aware of how to tap into yours because if you can tap into that feeling, you can change your life just like that whenever you want. That feeling forces you to move in a direction you want. It forces your body to react towards the goals you have because there's nothing you can't do, but you have to have a feeling that triggers that within you. You may be wondering why the body is so important and it's important because changing the feeling in your body activates your emotions which make you move and it's motions of emotions that changes things.

Emotions are what change your life. Here's a quick backstory to demonstrate. Whenever I have a goal I'm trying to reach, whenever I'm struggling with it, I tap into a feeling I had when I was nine years old. Now that was a long time ago, a whole lifetime, but the feeling I had at nine was a feeling that created a decision that allowed me to change my life instantly. Instantly it allowed me to change my life and whenever I'm struggling, I feel that feeling again of how I made a decision at nine years old to get out of the projects of Chicago and change my life.

I did not know what I was doing at that time, but it is a feeling that is still with me today because I trigger this feeling whenever I'm struggling to help me move forward. That feeling at nine was a clear decision. I will live a great life. I will get out of the projects. I will marry and have children and more and once I accomplished the goal of getting out of the projects, I knew without a doubt I could do anything and you can too.

Take a moment and write down a feeling. You can tap into that triggers a feeling that moves you into action. When you get it, learn how to tap into that feeling whenever you need it to move forward. Write down what caused the feeling, how you used it to achieve a result to change your mind-body energy because if you can access that feeling at any moment, you can use it to change your now, to change your truth, to change your life. Changing your life to a new truth starts with a feeling you can trigger whenever you need it for the energy to move you forward and this feeling will force a decision which gives you courage regardless of the circumstances and gives you commitment to do what it takes to reach your desired goal.

Now, to be clear, just because we've triggered the feeling and the motion in your mind and body to change your life, you must also do the thing, okay? So, let's be clear. You still got to do the thing. That's take the action that actually changes it. So, in my case, at nine years old, the decision was made and the action was to go to school, to graduate from high school, to graduate from college to get out of Chicago.

Now, it took many years to get out but what I want you to understand here is that the decision was made at nine years old. The decision was made instantly and the action was in motion once the decision was made. Your decision is made up of your courage. It's made up of your commitment to move forward even if you are afraid because the change you want in your life is greater than the fear you have and where your attention and focus goes, so will your mind, body, energy. So, actually, the first step in changing your current situation is to feel it.

You have got to feel it. It's how change takes place in your life. It starts with a feeling that is reinforcing your mind, body, and spirit and moves you to focus on the outcome you want to change your now, to change your truth. The next thing you have to do is you have to believe that it's possible. You have to have unwavering belief that you can get what you want even if you are surrounded by those who say you can't.

You have to believe it and you have to see it in your mind's eye. In my case, at nine years old, I saw a movie with beautiful homes and well-dressed men and women and once I saw that, I put myself in that place in my mind my entire childhood. I felt the feeling of being in homes, dining with fine china, being in a relationship with an educated, well-dressed man and it all happened because I decided, I saw it, I believed it could happen and even though my environment said it couldn't, I took the action to make it real and that's how you change your now. It works, it works, it works. You can have, be and do anything you want and all you have to do is feel it, see it, decide to focus on it and take the action to get it.

Now let's take a moment and let's write down three things you want to accomplish in the next 30, 60 to 90 days. Write three things down and once you get those three things down, I want you to circle the one thing you must accomplish within that time frame because here's what generally happens. We say we would like to get this or that but we never make it a must get this or that. So focus on that one thing you must accomplish and decide there are no if, ands or buts about it. You are going to achieve this result no matter the circumstances in your life, no matter the obstacles in your environment, that result will happen.

I want you to feel the feeling, not just oh I feel good about this, I mean feel the feeling in your gut of being sure this will happen absolutely because you feel the feeling of already having it and you see it and you believe it in your mind. Feel it. Then what you need to do is go out there and find someone who has accomplished the goal and research them. If you know them, have conversations with them. Let them become your silent mentor if necessary by following what they do and you do it also.

Understand that there will probably be difficult moments and you need the courage to push through them so I need you to accept it right now. Things are not going to run 100% smoothly. And you also need to accept that if your actions are not working you will adjust your actions until you can get them to work. And when you do that then go out there and help somebody because as you help others in life it will create an unbelievable feeling in your spirit that fuels the energy to keep you moving forward on days when you won't even feel like it. Now is your truth and you can change your truth right now and it starts with a feeling, a decision, a belief and action.

This Decide that what you want is not just a desire but a must and don't settle for anything less. Make adjustments to get what you want, but the adjustments are to never, ever, ever give up. Don't ever give up. So here's the action plan. It's a very simple action plan to change the way you feel when you wake up and change the way you feel when you're at work that may help you.

It is what we do daily now that affect changes in our life. So when you start your morning up on rising, do so by showing gratitude. This should take less than five minutes. Write it down because as you write it, you reinforce that wonderful feeling of being alive, that wonderful feeling of getting one more shot at life. And as you write it down, you know what?

You may just get another day. If you have time for quick silent thought or meditation, do it for another five minutes. Become still in your body and just relax. Your kids will be there five minutes from now. All your bills and your problems will be there for five minutes from now.

I want you to take five for you. Now if you have another five minutes, use it to exercise your imagination to see that goal you want to see, that result, and feel it as if you already have it and imagine how you look and feel with it. It works. This works. If you exercise in the morning, that's great, but the majority of the people in the world don't because their lives are so hectic.

So at least do this, invest in a $10 pedometer and track your steps. You know the goal of 10,000 steps per day. It is a difficult goal for most people. Don't worry about that. Just track what you do and just do what you do.

Eat healthy, of course, sleep well, and show your loved ones some real love. Pull your head up out of your mobile device and give somebody a hug and a kiss, and then find a way to forgive someone with no strings attached. The feelings you get from doing these things will change you, I promise. They will change you. These are the things that we take for granted, and they have a tremendous impact on how we feel when we wake up, while we're at work, and how we interact with our loved ones.

These are the feelings of our lives. These are the feelings of our truth. These are the feelings of our right now. Whatever you want in life, you can have if you use feelings to change your now, to change your truth. This is Val Taylor.

Make it a great day.
