Have you ever experienced the frustration of attracting the same negative experience into your life over and over again, and not knowing why or what to do about it?

Perhaps you keep attracting romantic relationships that never turn out the way you’d hoped they would… or business partnerships that always seem to turn sour…

Whatever it is, the technique I’m going to share with you in this article will help you destroy your destructive patterns so they never haunt you again.

To make this article more valuable to you, stop reading for a moment and find yourself an example to work with.

• Close your eyes and think of an experience you had recently where someone ‘wronged’ you and you still have not forgiven them
• When you’ve found one, think of at least two more times when you experienced that same kind of situation with someone else
• Do this now and don’t read on until you have completed this exercise

If you did this work correctly, you’ll have just uncovered a PATTERN that you repeat in your life and probably have no idea what to do to stop repeating it. Well, I’m about to help you with that…

Unfortunately, Forgiveness Rarely Makes A Difference

In my experience, what usually ends up happening is once we forgive the person who ‘wronged’ us, another situation just like the first one appears and we find ourselves in the same place again – frustrated, upset and not knowing what we are doing to attract this negativity over and over again.

Sound familiar?

I’ll share an example from my own life:

For many years, I kept attracting business deals that would leave me feeling ‘screwed over’ by my business partners and contractors. The last time this happened was when I was getting my new company logo designed a few years ago.

A friend who owned a design company offered to do the job for me at a discounted rate. Long story short, 9 months later he had still not delivered. When I confronted him, he became defensive and the whole deal went south. I ended up losing my 50% deposit, one of my best friends and never received the logo.

Although I had forgiven all the people who had ‘screwed me over’ in the past, I was still attracting this frustrating circumstance.

Forgiving someone may restore your relationship with that person, but it’s not going to stop you attracting similar circumstances again and again in the near future.

So, how come FORGIVENESS (apparently one of the most highly ‘evolved’ things you can do) rarely makes a difference?

Because in order to forgive someone for something, you first need to RESIST what that person did and judge it as being wrong, and…

What You Resist, Persists…

So, whatever you are RESISTING in your life right now will have a nasty habit of coming back to haunt you – over and over again in the future.

Why?

Because, the things we resist are usually the same things we FEAR and because of the way the Law Of Attraction works, we always attract the things we FEAR into our lives.

For example, if you fear your partner will cheat on you, you’re most likely going to attract partners that cheat. As long as you resist the experience of ‘cheating’, you’ll attract it.

In my example, I feared being ‘screwed over’ so much, that I attracted that experience – over and over again.

So, what can we do about this dilemma?  The solution is counter intuitive (as often the best solutions are).

An Alternative To Forgiveness

The best way to eliminate FEAR (and negative patterns) is to stop RESISTING your life the way that it currently is.

Resisting your life is like trying to paddle a canoe upstream, against the current. This requires a LOT more effort than padding the same canoe downstream – using the current instead of resisting the current.

So, instead of forgiving someone for ‘wronging’ you, change the way you see the thing they did and you won’t need to forgive them in the first place!

I’ll admit, this is an advanced concept and does take some practice initially, but it is 100% within your reach.

From Fear To  Fun

When you quit resisting your experience of the world and the people in it, most of your fears (if not all) will disappear – almost instantly. Then, the world becomes a much more FUN place to play in, people become a lot more interesting and you become a lot happier.

To stop resisting, you need to quit seeing your experiences as wrong or bad.

If you don’t believe me just yet, humor me and try this idea on like you’d try on some clothes in a department store. You don’t have to buy them; you’re just trying them on. In the same way, I’m not asking you to believe me, just to consider this as an idea.

Allow me to explain…

Duality

Everything in the Universe has an equal and opposite charge. Black has white, day has night, up has down and the front of your hand has the back of your hand.

Are you still with me here?

This concept is often called the law of DUALITY. Isaac Newton described this phenomenon in his third law of motion as “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.”

What this means for you is that every problem you experience has an equal benefit to you. Problems cannot exist without their corresponding benefits, like up cannot exist without down.

Consider this: perhaps the reason you get upset is because you only see ONE side of the coin (the bad side) and don’t ever dig deep enough to discover the equal BENEFITS (the good side) that this problem brings to your life.

When you can authentically allow the BENEFITS you receive from your so called ‘negative’ experience to  inspire you, your jaw will drop with gratitude and you’ll stop resisting, allowing blessing and good times to flow to you.

Stop Resisting It, Stop Attracting It

When I first tried this with my logo ‘problem’, I was astounded to see that there actually were just as many benefits to not having gotten my logo from my friend, as there were drawbacks:

1. I got a better logo elsewhere for 1/4 of the price
2. I learned to set powerful boundaries with a very upset man
3. I gained a lot of confidence in my ability to stand up for what I wanted
4. I discovered an awesome new graphic designer that I am going to hire in the future and save tons of money on my designs

But my BIGGEST breakthrough happened when I realized that the VERY thing I was resisting (being screwed over), was what I was actually doing to others in business.

This was a bitter pill for me to swallow. I mean, I considered myself a fair and honest businessman. However, when I looked deeper, I realized that when I negotiated in business, I often negotiated to win, sometimes without concern for whether or not the other person won too.

All I was interested in was getting the best deal for me.

Upon reflection, I realized that I was doing the very thing I hated having done to me!

When I saw this, I was horrified and shocked…

So now, here is the toughest question:

Where do you do the VERY EXACT same thing that the person you need to forgive has done to you?

This question is incredibly important. Until you can accept a trait within yourself, you’ll never be able to accept it in another and you’ll continue resisting and attracting that same trait as an experience in your life.

I know this kind of thinking is challenging, but you can do it…

I’ve witnessed a rape victim uncover where she ‘raped’ other people metaphorically. When she saw how she was just like the rapist, she broke down in tears and let go the pain of being raped. Answering this question changed her life.

After I did this exercise, I made a promise to myself that from then on, I was only going to enter into win-win business agreements.

Since then, I never again experienced feeling screwed over, and have (finally) broken the pattern of attracting those kinds of people and experiences into my world.

How To Break The Cycle Of Repeating Negative Patterns

Use this technique to quit resisting when you next experience someone ‘wronging’ you.

• STEP 1: Write down exactly what happened and the exact traits the other person displayed that upset you
• STEP 2: Write down where you have displayed these exact same traits with someone else
• STEP 3: Write down the benefits you received from having had the experience of being ‘wronged’
• STEP 4: Write down the opportunities you can create now that you’ve seen the benefits

Take a moment now and complete this exercise.

If you do the exercise completely, openly and with radical honesty, you’ll find yourself no longer resisting.

Better yet, you’ll no longer need to forgive the person, because you’ll no longer see their actions as bad.

Most importantly, you’ll stop attracting that type of experience into your life.

If you really want to lock in your personal transformation, you may even want to buy the other person a gift to thank them for bringing so many benefits into your life.

Where Else You Can Use This

This exercise is SO great because it quick and easy! With practice you’ll complete it in your head in a matter of seconds.

Use it when:

• You have an argument with your lover
• Your boss or colleague annoys you at work
• Somebody betrays your trust
• Another driver cuts in front of you in a traffic jam
• Anytime you feel bad

Try this on authentically and with a commitment to making it work and I promise you a transformed life where your problems melt away and transform into gorgeous benefits.

You’ll Be Sexier!

Once you become proficient with this new mindset, you’ll notice a nice benefit: People will WANT to hang around you, do business with you and have sex with you (no kidding)!

Why?

Because EVERYONE loves being in the company of someone who does not resist them.

Having cultivated this quality in myself, I am often amazed at the incredibly powerful people who choose to hang out with me, not because of what I have accomplished or because I may be interesting to talk to, but because of the space I provide – a space where they are not blamed and can feel at home to be themselves.

Last but not least, if you’re willing to take this idea into every area of your life, you’ll begin attracting MAGIC like you will not believe…

Let’s Sum It Up

I know this is a radical concept that challenges conventional wisdom,  and I know  that if you read my blog regularly, you’re open enough to receive it.

I want to acknowledge you for reading this far and (hopefully) doing the exercise. It takes courage to look at yourself with such honesty. Well done!

So, let’s wrap up with a summary of what we have learned:

• We all have limiting patterns that we repeat in our lives over and over again
• Forgiving someone is like a band aid – it’s a temporary fix, but does not stop these patterns repeating
• What you resist – persists, because we attract the things we resist into our lives
• We live in a world of duality and every problem or ‘negative’ experience contains a hidden benefit(s)
• We get UPSET only because we don’t see both sides of the coin (good and bad)
• People who see both sides of the coin are SEXY!

Practice the 4-step exercise above and you’ll find yourself a much happier person who can attract a LOT more of what you do want into your life.

Last, but not least, if you’re willing to take this idea into every area of your life, you’ll begin attracting magic like you will not believe!

Please leave me a comment below and let me know what you learned from this article and doing the exercise.

P.S. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr John DeMartini for teaching me this concept.

In this article, I’m going to unravel why you’re not manifesting the kind of miracles that you know you’re capable of and how to use 5 Emotional Clearing Techniques

One of my favorite things in the world to do is to take my motorcycle, pack a tent on the back and go on a two week adventure ride exploring places I’ve never seen before.

One of the problems I face on the way is that after a few hours of riding, my visor has collected so many dead bugs, that I can barely see the road and I’m forced to pull over at the nearest gas station and use the windshield cleaner on my helmet to clean off the road kill.

This got me thinking about how the bugs on my visor are a great metaphor for how we clog up our life with our personal baggage and then wonder why we can’t see the wood from the trees.

The windshield cleaner is a great metaphor for the Emotional Clearing Techniques I’m going to explain later on.

Have you ever wondered why the Law Of Attraction is not working for you like it could be?

Perhaps you’ve heard amazing stories of others who are manifesting miracles left, right and center, but the only thing you’re able to manifest is an empty parking space every now and again?

If you can relate to this, chances are that there is some area where your life is clogged up with dead bugs and you need to use some Emotional Clearing Techniques to clear them out.

Consider this…

When you were born, you came into this life with a blank canvas. Anything was possible for you. Your metaphorical motorcycle visor was spotless.

As you grew up, stuff happened to you and bugs collected on your visor.

• Perhaps you were teased or bullied at school and you decided that the world is not a safe place to be.
• Then your first love broke up with you and you decided that people can’t be trusted.
• Then you discovered that achieving success was not as easy as you hoped it was going to be and decided to put your dreams on ‘hold’ ?

By the time you became an adult, you had so many bugs on your visor that you couldn’t even see where you were going anymore.

What’s worse is that looking at the world through a ‘dirty visor’ just became normal, so you kept on bumbling through life crashing into things and collecting even more bugs until your vision became so distorted, that life stopped being the fun place filled with possibility and magic.

Instead, life became a prison sentence that you decided you have to survive.

Sound familiar?

The Cure For Your Prison Sentence…

When you don’t clear up the things in your past that are clouding your present, your future becomes clouded by the past

When this happens, we lose our vitality, feel lethargic, uninspired, purposeless, and passionless and our ability to manifest good things disappears.

Which Emotional Clearing Techniques Actually Work?

If so, you need to clean off those bugs and get yourself CLEAR again.

Clearing techniques come in all shapes and sizes and I’ve personally tried every one I could get my hands on. Over the years, I’ve noted which ones work best for me and I’ll share them with you in a moment.

Before I do, I also noticed that the emotional clearing techniques that produce the best results are also the hardest to do. However, if you make a practice of them, you can look forward to a life filled with love and magic.

My TOP 5 Emotional Clearing Techniques:

Here are my TOP 5 Emotional Clearing Techniques for wiping the bugs off your visor quickly and a very brief description of each:

1. RESTORE YOUR INTEGRITY: Do what you say you are going to do, even when it’s difficult. If your life is not working as well as you want, look to see where you broke your word. Then, make it right with EVERY person affected by you not doing what you said you would do.
2. FIND THE BLESSING: Find the positive benefits to your perceived negative situation. Keep writing them down until you are truly grateful and no longer perceive your situation as being negative, but as a blessing.
3. TAKE TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY: Quit pointing fingers at anyone other than yourself for the situation you are currently in. Choose a situation in your life where you are experiencing being stuck. Take a pen and paper and write down every way in which you are responsible for creating that situation in your life. Until you can own creating it, you are powerless to un-create it.
4. PRACTICE THE MIRACLE METHOD: A clearing technique I designed to be used to get yourself clear before each day begins. 1) Express your upset to someone 2) Count your blessings 3) Visualize your ideal situation 4) Release attachment to it. Sign up at http://www.RelaxAndAttract.com and I’ll email you the Miracle Method in full detail in a few days…
5. RADICAL HONESTY: Tell the dirty honest truth about where you lied, withheld the truth, cheated or stole, to the people who were affected by your lying, withholding, cheating and stealing. In my experience, this is by far the hardest (and most effective) clearing technique of all…

Knowing these 5 Emotional Clearing Techniques will make absolutely ZERO difference to you unless you apply them immediately in your life. Also, you can’t expect any results unless you apply each one with 100% commitment to getting clear.

Remember, it’s your responsibility to get yourself clear, not the responsibility of any of the Emotional Clearing Techniques presented here.

Here’s an example of how getting myself clear caused a whole new friendship for me.

Recently, one of my best friends decided to stop speaking to me after I commented that I thought she was irresponsible with the way she handled her finances.

A few days went by and I found myself not being able to remain centered knowing that someone I cared for was upset and making me wrong. So I decided to get myself clear using two of the Emotional Clearing Techniques above (Radical Honesty and Total Responsibility) and wrote an email to her expressing how I was feeling, how much I cared for her and taking responsibility for the impact of my words.

Within hours of hitting the SEND button, I received a call from her wanting to meet up with me. When I asked her what she thought of my email, she responded with, “What email?” She had not even read it yet!

Just the act of getting MYSELF CLEAR impacted her and inspired her to call me without even having read my email.

Coincidence? I think not.

Dr Joe Vitale And I

Earlier this year, I was having dinner with Dr Joe Vitale (one of the teachers in the movie The Secret)…

Joe told me about a doctor (Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len) who healed an ENTIRE psychiatric ward without ever meeting any of his patients. He did it by seeing each patient’s illness as a reflection of some part of himself that he had not yet cleared. As he got himself clear, the patients healed one by one. Read more about it here.

In summary:

• As you go through life, you experience things that negatively cloud your perception.
• If you don’t keep yourself clear, you’ll never experience life as being magical or yourself as being a powerful creator.
• Use the 5 Emotional Clearing Techniques above to keep yourself clear. If you’re prepared to do it regularly, you’ll live a life filled with jaw-dropping synchronicity, magical meeting and all the abundance you could wish for.

So, my challenge to you this week is to take one of the 5 Emotional Clearing Techniques listed above and CLEAN up some area of your life and let me know your results below.

Till next time, have a truly MIRACULOUS week.

P.S. Please leave a comment with your thoughts below…

P.P.S. If you’ve used any other emotional clearing techniques that actually produce results, please tell me about them and what results you got using it…

One of the most common mistakes I see entrepreneurs making is that they are trying to make money instead of focusing on creating wealth.

As I see it, there are TWO fundamental problems with trying to make money:

1. Money itself has no inherent value and it does not actually exist AND
2. Your brain struggles to visualize concepts like ‘money’

Lets delve a little deeper into these two problems…

PROBLEM #1: Money Has No Value And Does Not Exist

Money is a man made concept that we all use to measure value, but does not have any value itself. These days it’s even more intangible because money doesn’t even exist in reality – it only exists as numbers sitting in some computer system somewhere.

So trying to make money is as fruitless an activity as trying to see air. You can see the results of air moving as the trees sway in the breeze, but you can’t see the actual air itself.

By the same token, you can see the results of money flowing through our economy, but you can’t see the actual money itself because it is just a concept. You could argue that the paper notes in your wallet are money, but I assure you that they are not. They are just paper notes that have no value outside your economy.

If you don’t believe me, try taking 500 million Zimbabwean Dollars into your local grocery store and buy a loaf of bread with them. Your grocery store is going to laugh at you, right?

Why? Because your 500 million bucks has no inherent value of its own. You may as well use them to light a fire in your living room on a cold, rainy night.

So, that is problem number 1. On to problem number 2…

PROBLEM #2: Your Brain Struggles To Visualize Concepts Like ‘Money’

There’s a saying in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming – the study of how the mind works) that human beings never do anything that they have not first seen themselves do in their imagination.

What this means is that we always imagine doing something in our mind before we actually do it. This is why VISUALIZATION is such a useful tool. When you visualize something, you are far more likely to achieve it.

The problem is that you brain cannot visualize money because money is not a thing – it’s a concept.

You can visualize having some paper in your wallet (what you and I call money), but that just attracts having more paper in your wallet – not more wealth.

Am I making sense here? Are some light bulbs flashing in your head? I hope so.

My point is: Trying to make money is never going to make you rich.

Unfortunately, if you’ve been learning about the Law Of Attraction from the hit movie, The Secret, they’ll tell you to focus on money. Good luck with that…

So how can you attract more money into your life?

The Real Difference Between Money And Wealth

My favorite definition of Wealth comes from Roger James Hamilton, the creator of Wealth Dynamics:
“Wealth is what you have left when you’ve lost all your money”

What he means is that your wealth consists of the things like your passions, your network, your track record, your access to resources and your knowledge of your industry.

Whereas money is intangible, wealth is tangible. Whereas money is impermanent, wealth is permanent.

If I were to hijack a wealthy person and dump them in a foreign land with no money, they’d soon be back on their feet again because although they might have had their money taken from them, they never lost their wealth.

You often read about wealthy people who lose all their money and then make it back again. This is because they never lost their wealth.

By contrast, somebody who has no wealth, but a lot of money, will soon find ways to lose their money.

Lottery winners are a great example of this phenomenon. The US lottery statistics show that within only TWO years, 50% of all lottery winners are worse off than before they won the lottery!

This is becasue although they have money, they are not wealthy, so their money goes away quickly.

This revelation was HUGE for me.

One Last Very Important Distinction…

Money is attracted to Wealth… it follows wealth, not the other way around.

If you shift your focus from making money to creating wealth, you’ll begin to see the world in a new light where opportunities to create wealth that attracts money are illuminated all around you.

The easiest way to find out how you can build wealth easily and naturally is to take your Wealth Dynamics Profile test.

Without knowing your Wealth Profile, you really are flying blind and leaving your success to chance.

20,000 entrepreneurs have already taken their test and have discovered their most natural path to wealth. If you also want to be wealthy and say goodbye to money struggles, I highly recommend that you do too:

> BEWARE:

I’ve had enough!

I’ve had it up to my eyeballs with all the CRAP written on the internet about how to attract money using the Law Of Attraction.

Not because I don’t think it’s possible to attract opportunities to make money, but because most of the information is just plain USELESS! By useless, I mean that it is not actionable and you can’t do anything with it.

I searched Google for “attract wealth” and here are some of the gems I found:

“Step into the flow of the Universe and ask for money help…”

At first glance, this looks like an innocent enough premise, but when we dig a little deeper you’ll discover that statements like this often leave us more confused that before we read them.

Check this out… Could you please tell me exactly WHERE I find this universal flow. Once I’ve found it, HOW do I step into it and HOW do I ask for money help? Do I go looking for a universal river at full moon and then bathe in it?  Do I howl into the night sky “I need money help!” and hope the Universe is listening to me?

See what I mean? This is not actionable advice, so in my mind, it’s totally useless. Unfortunately, many of the “new-age” or “spiritual” teachings that are popular today, are filled with this useless crap.

Here’s another:

“Learn to vibrate at the frequency of money…”

This one cracks me up…

I may not be the smartest guy on the planet, but could someone please tell me exactly how many Hertz (cycles per second) money vibrates at? I’d also love to know HOW to vibrate myself at that frequency, so I can attract some of this money too.

I decided to try vibrating at the frequency of money just to see if it worked…

In my gym, I have this cool fitness gadget called a Power Plate. You stand on it and it vibrates your body like a jack hammer. I kid you not. I stood on it this morning and set it to HIGH, hoping that it could vibrate me to the frequency of money…

Vibrating to attract money?

Unfortunately no money fell from the sky. However, I did make a few sales from my website, but I doubt that was from vibrating for 5 minutes. Maybe if I can get Power Plate to add a MONEY switch in addition to the HIGH/LOW switch, I’ll be able to attract some more money.

Obviously, I’m just being facetious and having some fun, but there is a point to my banter:

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to attract money. The problem (as I see it) is that most of the people who talk about ‘attracting money’ come from a mindset of lack i.e. wanting to get something for nothing.

If you believe people who tell you that you can somehow magically ‘attract’ money by doing nothing other than ‘vibrating’ or ‘asking’, you’re never going to have any (or at least not for long).

Having a mindset that supports you taking action towards becoming financially free is essential, but that alone is never going to make you rich.

Go ask anyone on the Forbes Magazine “Rich List” how they created their wealth and they aren’t going to tell you that they sat around vibrating to the frequency of money.

So, how have wealthy people ATTRACTED their wealth?

Drum roll please…

The Only Way To Attract Wealth

The way that EVERY wealth creator in history has made their money is by providing or creating some kind of VALUE that people are willing to pay money for.

Read that sentence again, because it might be the most important sentence you read in your entire financial life.

If you provide lots of VALUE, you’ll easily attract OPPORTUNITIES to exchange it for MONEY.

NOTE: You can’t attract money itself (at least not from my experience), but you can attract opportunities (to exchange some form of value for money).

If you’re still focusing on attracting money, you’re probably broke. Focus on how you or your product or service can add value to others, and then watch the money flow in.

Here’s the equation:

GIVE NO VALUE = GET NO MONEY

GIVE  VALUE = GET OPPORTUNITIES (TO EXCHANGE VALUE FOR MONEY)

Got it?

If making money is that simple, then why is it that most people don’t succeed in becoming wealthy?

I believe it’s because most people have NO IDEA what kind of value they should be adding, so they end up paralyzed by confusion (not knowing how to move forward) or beating the same old financial freedom drum over and over again doing the same thing (even if it is not working) until they give up or burn out… Sound familiar?

So what’s the Secret to creating wealth?

In my opinion, the secret to wealth creation is discovering your unique VALUE that you can add to the world, and then spreading that value in a way that is enjoyable for you.

If you’re like most people (including me a few years ago), then you probably have no clue where your unique VALUE lies or how to share it with the world, so you’re probably struggling to exchange your potential value for MONEY.

The Good News Is…

There is a way to determine what your unique VALUE is use it to create enormous amounts of wealth, without having to howl at the moon or figure out how to vibrate at the frequency of money.

If you’re interested in learning your unique value, then check out this wealth creation article.

While this article is somewhat tongue in cheek and I am guilty of laughing hysterically while writing it, the concept of exchanging VALUE for MONEY is at the heart of all successful wealth creators. Ignore it at your peril.

To debunking myths and enjoying life,

P.S. If you don’t know how to deliver your value to the world in a way that is natural for you, you’re pretty much screwed when it comes to creating wealth. It’s always going to feel like hard work and be exhausting. Make sure you click this link to learn how you can find out the EASIEST way for you to exchange your value for money. I’ve created a stunning surprise for you at the end of the page.

It was dark and I was driving to the airport to collect two friends visiting me on the island. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a dog running across the freeway…

I slammed on my brakes, trying to keep the car from skidding out of control, but the dog kept running. Seconds later I felt a series of loud thuds followed by shrieks of terror and agony as the dog got dragged underneath my truck.

My heart started racing and time slowed down to a standstill as adrenaline pumped into my veins.

“Oh s#%t”, I thought to myself…

as I looked in the rear view mirror and saw the injured dog writhing in the middle of the freeway.

The dog’s agonized howls penetrated my car even though I had music playing, the windows were shut and I was 100 meters down the road.

I’m not proud to admit it, but my first thought was:

“There’s no way that this dog is going to be alive much longer… Another car will probably hit it again in a few seconds. I’m going to keep driving to the airport, pick up my friends and forget this ever happened…”

I kept driving for another 10 seconds, but the dog’s agonized howls haunted me like the sound of a baby crying for its mother.

I didn’t want to take responsibility for having hit the dog. By most people’s standards, the accident was the dog’s fault and that justifies leaving the dog to die on the side of the road.

I’ll come back to my story in a moment, but before I do, I want to ask you an important question:

Have you ever hurt someone, lied to someone or stolen something and then didn’t own up and
take responsibility for it?

If your mind is telling you that you have never done a thing like that, it’s lying to you.

Think of that time when you hurt someone, lied to someone or stolen something and then didn’t own up and take responsibility for it…

Got it?

Remember the guilty feeling immediately after you did the ‘bad’ thing? You knew you’d done something wrong.

Perhaps the memory of that event gnaws at you the way I could hear the howling dog yelping and see it writhing in the rear view mirror.

Consider for a moment that your “Howling Dog” is your conscience…

It’s your heart trying to tell you to do the right thing, the scary thing, the terrifying act of taking responsibility for your actions.

Think back to your incident again…

Remember how quickly your mind kicked in to shut your Howling Dog up and justify why it was OK not to take responsibility? That’s what our minds do in an attempt to keep us ‘safe’ or out of trouble.

Here’s the problem 99.9% of people don’t admit to themselves:

Whenever you hear or see your Howling Dog and you ignore it, it haunts you unconsciously and slowly, but surely eats away at your aliveness.

First, the guilt makes you tired and lethargic…

Then, as time passes, you forget that the incident ever happened BUT it leaves behind a slow-release poison that begins killing you from the inside out.

You begin feeling emotionally dead inside…

After a while, feeling dead becomes normal and life stops being a fun, joyful experience.

You LOSE the ability to attract good things into your life.

It’s as if your attraction magnet breaks down…

I know that you know what I’m talking about…

After years of silencing or killing your Howling Dogs (i.e. not taking responsibility for your actions and ignoring your conscience)…they KILL YOU – from the inside.

This often manifests as disease in your body or an inability to attract ANYTHING good into your life. It’s as if your life has become poisoned.

If you can relate to this, there is only ONE thing you can do to save yourself.

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your actions TODAY. Otherwise, you’ll wake up tomorrow forgetting you ever read this email and you life will remain DEADENED.

I’m not kidding!

I have a challenge for you today…

I challenge you to call the person you wronged and apologize to them and take responsibility for the impact of your actions.

I challenge you to own up to stealing, lying, cheating or whatever else you’ve done that you’re too scared to take responsibility for.

Start with just ONE thing. The BIGGEST thing. Clean that up first. You know exactly which one I’m talking about… It’s that BIG thing that you’re hiding, afraid someone might find out about.

Why would you want to do this?

Because it’s the only way to truly be FREE.

I fully expect that you won’t actually do what I suggest, because just the thought of it is going to scare the socks off you, BUT if you are up to the challenge then later on I will share a process you can use to clean up the mess seamlessly so you are free from all poisons in your life.

Here’s how I silenced my howling dog…

Somewhere in the middle of this, my heart managed to override my head and I turned the car around to go find the howling dog and take responsibility for hitting the poor little guy.

I was hoping that the dog would be dead by the time I arrived, because I had no idea what I’d do if it was still alive.

I had SO many thoughts, most of which were awful, wondering whether to leave it on the side of the road to die or not. I was so confused.

As I approached the place where I had hit the dog, I saw that the dog was still alive, panting with saliva running down its mouth and a trail of blood marking its agonizing journey dragging itself to the side of the road with its front paws only.

I jumped out of the car and slowly approached the now quiet dog, who looked at me with pleading eyes as if to say, “Please help me”. I could see it was probably a stray dog because it had no name tag.

I stroked its head to calm it down and then picked up the bloody dog in my arms and placed her gently in the back of the truck.

There was NO way in hell I was leaving her there and there was no turning back now.

This choice left me with two challenges:

1. I had no idea where to take a bleeding animal at 9pm on a tiny Caribbean Island and
2. my friends were still waiting outside the airport for me.

I had to act fast because the dog might not live much longer and I wanted to do everything I could to help it.

I was 3 minutes from the airport, so I decided to collect my friends first and figure out what to do with the dog as I drove… Along the way I, called around and found a number of a vet on the island.

Arriving at the airport, I hugged Michelle and Schalk hello and welcomed them to the island, and explained that they needed to sit with their luggage on their laps because there was an animal in the back which needed our help.

15 minutes later we were pulling into the drive of the vet’s surgery.

The vet pinched the dog’s paws and to my surprise, she stayed calm and didn’t make a noise. I thought of how brave she was, only to have my illusion shattered when the vet told me that she was probably paralyzed and that’s why she didn’t react.

He told me he would give the dog painkillers for the night and talk to me in the morning. We agreed that if an owner did not claim the dog by the end of the next day, we would put the dog down.

I was all shaken up and it took me a few hours to calm down and relax after all the adrenaline. I felt sad about the dog, but peaceful about doing the right thing.

The vet called me the next morning and told me nobody had claimed the dog. After much deliberation we agreed that the best thing for her was for her to die peacefully and to put her down. I felt sad for her but knew that it was the right thing for her.

A $500 vet bill (reduced to $250 by the kind receptionist) and a huge learning later, my conscience is now completely clear.

I took responsibility for my part in the accident and now I’m free to return to my life full of joy and free from guilt and remorse.

As I walked along the beach this morning, I thought of her and said a little prayer to thank her for the valuable beautiful lesson she taught me. I wished her well in “Doggie Heaven”, imagined her eating loads of big bones and running around freely on good legs and felt a sense of freedom again.

I’ll never forget the sound of that Howling Dog and it will always be reminding me to listen to my conscience, take responsibility for my actions and keep living the best life I can.

I hope you choose to take me up on my challenge and take responsibility for something in your life that is eating at you. Be FREE from your howling dogs and experience peace and joy in your life.

The Howling Dog Challenge

Here is a process you can use for cleaning up ANY of your Howling Dogs in your life:

1. Grab a pen and write a list of all the crap you’re avoiding dealing with in your life.
2. Next to each item, write down how what you did (or didn’t do) impacted the person you did it to. Don’t stop until you are truly present to how your actions impacted the other person. If no other person was impacted (this is rare), write down how it impacted you.
3. Have a conversation with the person(s) involved and apologize for what you did. You may want to ask them, “What can I do to make this right for you?”
4. Now here is the most important step. Do whatever needs to be done to make it right for the other person.
5. Now, notice how good you feel and how a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. You have taken responsibility for your actions and are free.

Taking responsibility takes courage and I fully expect that you WILL NOT take responsibility for your action you identified above.

I expect your mind is already talking to you telling you why I’m an idiot for suggesting this and why you are better off keeping quiet etc etc blah blah fish paste…

I dare you…

I dare you to take up the Howling Dog Challenge and then leave a comment below this article and let me know what you took responsibility for, what happened and how you feel afterward.

Your friends,

and  Sammy (the name I gave my brave Howling Dog)

P.S. I want to acknowledge Werner Erhard, Brad Blanton and my Howling Dog for inspiring this article.

P.P.S. Take the Howling Dog challenge. It will set you free and allow you to attract BIG things into your life again.
