Unlimited: How to Build an Exceptional Life by Jillian Michaels Read Free Book Online

form the basis of your every action, large and small. Feeling strong and confident frees you to take the powerful actions needed to get powerful results.
    Now, let’s go a little further out on that limb—in fact, as far as we can go: geek out with me as we delve into quantum mechanics. (Don’t get scared, this will be simple.) Quantum mechanics deals with the nature of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic levels. Remember at the beginning of this chapter I said we’re all made up of the exact same energy as everything else in the universe? What I was getting at was the belief among quantum physicists that everything is made up of strings of energy. Atoms, once considered solid matter, are now known to be composed of pulsating energetic vibrations.
    Since everything in the universe is made up of atoms, that makes us all one. Not in a “Kumbaya,” let’s-all-hold-hands sense but in a literal subatomic-composition sense. We each emit our own unique energy, what quantum folks call vibrational frequency. It is a specific wavelength of energy that changes according to our will and consciousness.
    Because all of us and everything in the entire universe are connected by energy and information, when you hurt, it hurts. Literally . When you are happy, the vibration of the universe rises a little. Okay, maybe very very little—you’re not going to have parades thrown in your honor around the world if you get that raise; after all you’re one person, and the universe is, well, the universe . But that doesn’t make it any less important for every single one of us to find the joy and meaning in our lives. This goes back to my point about the absurdity of thinking it is selfish to follow your dreams or to want to create happiness for yourself.
    When you look at it from a quantum physics perspective, you actually owe it to yourself, to everyone you know, and yes, to the universe, to find your purpose in life, so that you can find your optimum “frequency,” and contribute to the harmony of the big picture.
    If quantum mechanics is too much for you to take, think about this. We can’t see atoms, right? But we all know the power harnessed within them. Look at the atom bomb! Well, we’re made up of millions of those little suckers. That’s a hell of a lot of energy. You just have to choose to harness that energy to work for you, rather than against you.
    No matter how you come at it, the undeniable truth is that your energy and consciousness determine the outcomes you will experience, and ultimately the life you build. What seems like magic to some is actually the workings of the energetic world. What some wonder at as mystery, others see as the expression of scientific patterns. Either way, you are a force, and by taking control of the cosmic power we all contain, you are tapping into a source of infinite abundance, accessing all the insight and power you need to achieve everything you want. (Yes, I’m still going to talk like this even after the physics. Get over it, this stuff works!)
    GETTING WHAT YOU WANT:
THE TECHNIQUE
    So how do you harness all this power for your benefit?
    By broadcasting a message that is in alignment with your greatest hopes and desires.
    Even in your sleep you’re sending and receiving energy. In our daily lives television, radio, phone, and satellite signals pelt us from every direction; if we have the right receiver apparatus, we are able to interpret them. Well, you’re kind of like one of those satellites, picking up signals from others and projecting ones of your own into the world around you. Whether you realize it or not, your life is a direct result of your personal energy field. The good news is that if you don’t like what’s coming in, you are free to change the energy and information you’re sending out.
    It’s all well and good to talk about broadcasting your desires, but you have to do it in a very specific way. You attract what youfeel, not what you “ask for,” so
