Byrne Rhonda - Hero (The Secret)

How do you transition from what you’re doing into a place where you’re doing what you love? Subsidize doing what you love to do with doing something else in order to give you enough support to do the thing you love. All of a sudden you will be doing the thing you love as the thing that provides for you. And that transition will occur much quicker than you think.

If you have other responsibilities you can slowly start to build up a side business, and eventually you just take the leap.

“Follow your bliss and the Universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.”

Joseph Campbell

Mythologist

You can begin right now to follow your bliss, because somewhere in your life there is something you’ve always wanted to do that you haven’t done yet. Have you had an urge to learn ballroom dancing or rap, surfing, or white water rafting? Have you had an urge to take an acting class, a painting or gardening class, or to learn how to style clothes or the interior of houses? Or is there a musical instrument that you’ve had the urge to learn because when you hear it played you immediately go into a state of bliss? Do you feel drawn to a particular country, and when you hear the language being spoken something inside you stirs? Was there something you loved doing as a child, but as you grew into adulthood you put it aside because you had to make a living? What is it that you’ve always wanted to do?

Most people either never get around to acting on these urges or they put them aside because they think they’re insignificant and have no relationship to the bigger things they want in their life. But that urge you feel to do something in particular is the Universe calling you to follow your bliss, and that particular thing is definitely connected to the path of your dreams. You can’t see the connection from your perspective on earth, but the Universe can clearly see it’s the path that will lead you to your dreams. The Thing that Moves You

What are you drawn to? What moves you? What have you always had the desire to do? Follow that urge; follow your bliss, because while you might not consider it relevant to your dream, it is in fact the very thread that will lead you there – as it did for my daughter.

From the moment she learned to read, my daughter said she was going to be an author when she grew up. Aside from writing, she loved two things more than anything else: being in nature and horse riding. She maintained her love of all three from childhood into adulthood, but when she moved to America she had to leave her horses behind.

With her relocation, her lifelong dream of becoming an author sat quietly in the background, while another big dream took over her – to meet her perfect partner and have a family. She made a list of everything she wanted in her perfect partner, but for some months he was nowhere to be seen.

Then she made a decision to just follow her bliss. So she started horse-riding lessons, she started to write again, and she bought a little house surrounded by nature. Her little house needed a lot of work, but she was blissfully happy living in it, because she was surrounded by nature.

Here’s what happened when my daughter followed her bliss. She was given a new horse to ride in her lesson, and the moment she got on that horse they were at one with each other. She had found the horse of her dreams, and she was given the opportunity to buy the horse in gradual payments she could easily manage. She came up with an idea for a children’s book, and she finished writing her first book. She was blissfully happy; she had her dream horse, she was living in nature, and she’d finally written a book.

And right there and then, amid her bliss, my daughter met her perfect partner. Two months after the dream of her perfect partner came true, her lifelong dream of becoming an author also came true; a major publisher accepted her book for publication! On top of that, things were suddenly looking promising for her little house in need of a lot of work – her perfect partner just happens to be the son of a builder!

You can have it all. No matter how unrelated you think your bliss might be to a bigger dream, follow your bliss and follow it with all of your heart. Although you can’t see the whole way ahead, your bliss is the thread that will lead you to all of your dreams!

Ultimately, to achieve anything in life you have to believe that you can. That belief is what allowed me to win many world titles.

You need to believe that all things are possible – that you can do it.

To believe in yourself is perhaps the most powerful hero ability you have available to you. Your belief will carry you through every difficult situation or any challenging circumstances, and enable you to ultimately realize your dream!

In his first season as head coach at the University of Southern California, Pete Carroll mentored a talented young quarterback whose great potential threatened to go unfulfilled. The problem was that this player was prone to negative self-talk, which at times affected his ability to perform. Once Pete discovered his quarterback anticipated making mistakes, he worked with his staff to eliminate the player’s negative self-talk.

Thanks to their timely intervention, the quarterback came to believe in himself, so much so that two seasons later he was awarded the Heisman Trophy as the best player in all college football. He went on to star in the NFL, and won “Most Valuable Player” in the NFL Pro Bowl. His name is Carson Palmer.

PETE CARROLL

Throughout my coaching life, I’ve helped people understand the power of their thoughts and personal beliefs. A person’s self-talk is the clearest indicator of one’s belief in themselves. I constantly preach the value and significance of positive self-talk as a key element to manifesting your dreams.

The message I want to send to people is: if I came here without speaking the language, with not one penny in my pocket, and I was able to do this, anybody could do it. You need just to believe in yourself. That’s it.

But what if you don’t believe in yourself?

The only reason you don’t believe in yourself is because you’ve inadvertently thought your way into not believing in yourself. Thinking a whole bunch of thoughts and accepting that they’re true forms beliefs. You were born with belief in yourself, and so if you don’t believe in yourself today it just means that in your life you have accepted thoughts about yourself that other people put upon you, and you believed them to be true. And the only way you have maintained that lack of belief has been through your own continuing thoughts about yourself – your self-talk.

MASTIN KIPP

The number-one hindrance to success is people who believe it’s not possible for them. If you believe something’s not possible, then you’re right. And the whole Universe will be against you, not because the Universe is a bad place, but because that’s how you’re interacting with it, and all you’ll look for is proof of your low self-worth, and proof of why it’s not possible.

The way to change a lack of belief is very simple. Begin thinking the opposite thoughts to what you’ve been thinking about yourself: that you can do it, and that you have everything within you to do it. Remind yourself that you have incredibly powerful abilities, and that you will know exactly how to use them when the time comes. Remind yourself that all you need to do is take one step at a time. Your Subconscious Mind

As you think thoughts that you can achieve your dream, you will change the program in your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is like a computer, and it has many different programs that you have loaded into it, either with your thoughts or by listening to and accepting other people’s thoughts about you. And you’ve been doing this throughout your life.
