You're listening to Personal Development Mastery, the podcast that empowers you with the simple and consistent actions you need to master yourself and create a life of purpose and fulfilment. This is another snippet of wisdom, where I select my favourite most insightful moments from previous episodes. Today's snippet comes from a conversation with Andrew Kap, who is the best selling author of the last law of attraction book you'll ever need to read. It is about how just feeling good is the key to manifest what you want in your life. But also, what is the subtle yet crucial thing you need to understand about feeling good. I hope it's as insightful for you as it was for me. Before we dive into the snippet, if you enjoy listening and appreciate what we're doing here, the simple quick favour I would like to ask of you is to click the subscribe button. Now let's get started.

Whether it's intentional or unintentional, we've evolved to this point where there's almost we're surrounded by programming that tells us we need the fancy car in order to be happy, we need the trophy husband or the trophy wife, we need the big house, we need like the the new fashion clothes we need, like Oh, whatever these things, we needed promotion, we need credibility, whatever these things might be, we're, we're constantly chasing something. And then when we get it, we realise we're just chasing something after something else. And there's never space of actual legitimate happiness and fulfilment within that or there's rarely any space. And the really ironic thing about it is, if you could just feel happy, if you could just feel good. If you could just achieve a level of contentment and fulfilment and ease and joy within the moment within the things that you already have, like your health, and your heartbeat, and family or friends or whatever might be going on. If you could just do that. It creates this space, it creates this opportunity, whether it's through your psychology, or the energetic universe, or whatever your beliefs are, it creates the vehicle by which you could much ease more easily get those things like the car and the House and the promotion. If only you focused more on feeling good without needing those things, those things will, some of them will come way faster, some of them would come way easier. And some of them you might realise you don't even need to begin with and it was all just an illusion. The thing about you know, feeling good for the sake of getting what you want, which of course, you know, you read my book, and you realise, oh, my God, all I have to do is feel good, and I get everything I want. And that's true. And that's okay to have that realisation. But there's a subtle little trick that people that misuse it, where they go from just knowing that it works that way to actually gritting their teeth, and like trying to force good feelings in with this hyper awareness that they don't have the thing yet meaning this focus on feeling good that they think that they're actually doing successfully, all they're really doing is reaffirming psychologically or energetically, or whatever your beliefs are, they are reaffirming and re enforcing the reality that they don't have that thing, meaning they're going in the exact opposite direction that they intended. Which is why I said rather than gritting your teeth and trying to force or shoehorn this new reality, just feel good for the sake of feeling good, because you're gonna get a win in that moment, because then you're actually enjoying your life. And then those things don't even like don't even worry about those things, they will come and they will come in really creative, really unbelievable fun ways. But you just get in the moment get like pushed that aside, like, okay, Andrew says this works. And then kind of like I kind of get I kind of agree now that I had that realisation. Let me just accept that. That's true. Let me relax. Let me take my pedal my foot off the gas. Let me breathe. Let me take it in. And let me just enjoy this moment. Let me just sit and hear or feel my heartbeat and appreciate that. Let me think about you know, even the paycheck that that you know, we I want to be way higher. Let me appreciate the paycheck I have right now. And the things I've bought, let me look at the food I'm about to eat, and have genuine gratitude for how well it's going to taste. And all the people that went into preparing that food, or the truck drivers that transported the ingredients, all the stores that go through who knows what in order to get that process where I can just walk to the shelf and get it or better yet, we're at a point where I don't even have to go to the store. I just take out my phone and I push a couple buttons and boom it shows up at my door. Let's enjoy that and appreciate that. And then it's like, oh, all of a sudden when you're feeling good for the sake of feeling good. And it's like wait a second, I just thought of a really cool way that I could find the insect All right, I want I just thought of a really cool way of reading my profile for a dating app, that the other that you know, people look at my profile we're gonna respond to, I just ran into somebody who had this really cool money making opportunity, and it only cost me 10 bucks to try it. Like these kinds of things unfold. There's no way of explaining it, there's no way that you can orchestrate it on your own. But it is orchestrated for you and then within cooperation of you when you engage in this process.
