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

it’s imperative that you come from a place of abundance and peace rather than deprivation or fear. It works something like this: the energy we emit is electromagnetic ( magnetic being the key part) and driven by our emotions, which affect our biochemistry and our atomic makeup and thus play a huge part in what we communicate to the world.
    Think of it like throwing a boomerang (if anyone actually knows how to do that): whatever you think and feel comes back to you. And thus the word karma . So if you’re going to broadcast your desires, you have to come from a place of have instead of have not .
    Whether you want true love, a sports car, or a successful new career, you can’t ask for anything if you’re focused on your lack of it, because that’s what you will invite into your life: lack. Instead, think about what it would feel like to already have what you want. Imagine you have already found your soul mate, bought that Porsche, or started that home business. Use those powers of visualization we talked about in Chapter 2 , really feel the happiness and contentment that you imagine your success will bring you. This way you send a message of affluence and comfort out into the world and invite the same to come back to you. These powerful prayers from positive emotions will establish the first connection between your dreams and your reality.
    Let me give you a couple of examples of how this can translate to real life. Say you want a promotion. Don’t be jealous of your successful coworkers, because you will be sending the subconscious message that you are less than they are. Instead, focus on yourself and how you can advance in your career by using your passion and drive to get better at your job.
    If you want to meet your true love, don’t focus on wanting someone to take away your loneliness or make you feel less unloved. Instead think about everything you have to offer the right person, and imagine the beautiful, productive relationship you will have, which is what you will project and attract.
    If you want to be healthy, don’t think to yourself, I don’t want to get sick , because that message focuses on sickness. Insteadthink of feeling strong and joyful and vibrant; your appreciation will put positive, deserving energy out into the world.
    If you can desire it, the universe can produce it. Think about it: all this great stuff is happening out there. People are falling in love, making money, and enjoying great health and deep fulfillment. So these things exist—and it’s time they existed for you. I know this chapter has gotten a little “out there” for some of you, but I’m trying to help you recognize the flow of abundance in the universe so that you can tap in to it, allow it to rush into your life. Oprah allows it. Derek Jeter allows it. Mick Jagger allows it. I allow it. Name anyone you admire—he or she allows it. Are you going to tap in to it, too?
    Now, here I must slap you back to reality a little. I cannot be emphatic enough on the following point: you MUST bring action to your aspirations and intentions. Prayer and meditation and everything I’ve talked about are powerful, effective, passive methods, but if you don’t do the work, if you don’t take precise, methodical action to make your dreams a reality, they most likely will never materialize.
    This step doesn’t stand alone.
    You can’t just think promotion, you have to kick ass at your job. You can’t just think love, you have to put yourself out there and meet people. You can’t just think healthy, you have to take care of yourself, eat healthfully, have fun, and exercise.
    Everything I’m telling you in this chapter, the prayer, the meditating, the broadcasting, all of it is necessary to make room for cosmic intervention, but when that intervention comes, you’d better be ready. There’s no such thing as luck, so kiss that idea goodbye. Life is about preparation meeting opportunity. When your destiny comes calling, you’d better
