Goals vs Desires: A key difference when it comes to manifestation

I was talking to a long-time private client this morning about what is next for her.

It was a question I posed to her last week for her to contemplate. 

Things are good, even great for her yet she’s ready for more. I can feel it. She can feel it. But she doesn’t YET know what it is.

She came back to me today with an awareness that she hasn’t really “done goals” well in her life. She just focuses on doing good work and things unfold for her.

We unpacked this and I shared how this was both in alignment with how the Universe works to deliver the manifestations you desire and how it’s also incomplete.

Let me explain…

The Law of Compensation says that in order for you to receive greater compensation you must become bigger than your present place… bigger than who you’re being right now.

This requires growth. 

Growth requires that you become more.

When you have a standard of excellence for yourself in your work and you keep taking on more and doing it with excellence, you will naturally become more. 

You will grow yourself to be a bigger container for the good that you desire.

(This is true whether we’re talking about income, ease, love, spaciousness, exuberant joy, sexual energy, or whatever you desire.)

This is how you become open to receiving more.

And yet there’s often an unconscious missing piece…

DESIRE.

True desire, not lack disguised as desire, is a cause set in motion.

When you claim a true desire it calls you forward into the growth that the Law of Compensation asks of you.

It’s connected to YOUR truth – not a should.

It’s connected to YOUR abundance – not scarcity.

It’s connected to YOUR purpose – not an obligation.

Now let’s compare this to goals. 

I’m a big fan of them but only when you can hold them with an open heart and only when they start from a place of desire… not should, not scarcity, not obligation. 

Most people when they set a goal that doesn’t meet the “desire criteria” immediately feel a certain amount of constriction. 

This is actually a GOOD thing. It’s telling you that you’re off course, either slightly or to a large extent.

This is a forced goal, rather than a true desire.

In order to shift, it just takes tapping back into what you truly, really want.

What is that for you?

This is what we’ll be discussing in our Spirit of Wealth Retreat – what is rising up in you ready for a rebirth. #PhoenixRising

How to Become the Woman You Want to Be and Bring the Future Into the Present

Who is the woman you want to be? 

Who are you bringing into this world today? 

What does this year have in store for you, and who do you need to be to call that in? 

These are questions I ask myself all the time, and you should too! 

Why?

Because answering these questions plays a huge part in the creation process, the actualization process, the manifestation process… Whatever you want to call it! 

You need to be a vibrational match for the experiences and opportunities you want to attract into your life.

Sadly, however, it's not as simple as just wishing for it, and BAM! It’s here. 

There is some focus that you must bring to it. Some work you need to do to get there and become her. 

That’s why today, I explain exactly how all of this works and how you can tap into the infinite potentialities that exist for you. 

Are you ready to step into the woman you want to be? The woman that has everything you want?

Then let’s jump right into it!

Decoding the Lived Experience of A Rich Life

By Amira Alvarez Most of us dream, then deny and never actually claim our rich life, that which we truly desire.  It seems unattainable or for someone else, not us. An editorial on the page of a magazine, a story we’ve read, a fantasy that calls us but is distant.  We fall into…

Most of us dream, then deny and never actually claim our rich life, that which we truly desire. 

It seems unattainable or for someone else, not us. An editorial on the page of a magazine, a story we’ve read, a fantasy that calls us but is distant. 

We fall into it for a moment, dreaming, then denying… We say to ourselves, at the level of murmur, almost imperceptibly… We are not that woman. 

Or are we?

If the desire is felt, the supply is ready to appear. 

This is the Truth. The Law. Your desires are ready to appear. You are that woman.

Yet most women limit their power and deny what they are worthy of receiving.

  • How do we unfold life in a different way than our conditioned past would hold us to? 
  • How do we open the door of possibility long enough to make manifest what we truly want rather than what we’ve been limiting ourselves to? 
  • How do we receive all the beauty and truth that is ours as women?

It’s about getting out of the way and surrendering to all that life is offering to you. But that’s harder than it sounds. 

At every turn, there’s some kind of challenge that causes us to constrict and go back to the old way of pushing, striving, and forcing.

That’s the way that’s gotten us here. It’s the known. It’s trustable to some extent, but it doesn’t feel so good. You’ve got to admit that.

If you really want to tap into your power as a woman to live a truly wealthy life, you must step into the unknown and try a different way.  

And this is where a level of honesty with yourself comes in: What is your more? 

You’ve probably already achieved a level of success and status that you’re proud of. 

You’re probably already making pretty good money, and that’s not the thing that’s at your core, driving you.

You’ve probably already got so much.

But there’s more, right?

There’s something missing, something more that you’re wanting.

When you think about this, do me a favor, and don’t go into that old pattern of defending your achievements or cutting yourself down by saying, what I’ve done or who I’m being is not enough

That used to be enough to motivate you.

But that’s scarcity and fear talking and you know you’re ready for a different way. 

A way that’s gentler, kinder, and works with more grace.

A way that delivers without blowing out your nervous system, or leaving you lackluster and unmotivated.

A way that delights and includes all of you, even those little girl parts, the spirit that can’t be suppressed, that so wants to be fully realized in this world.   

Yes?

Then it’s time to have a LIVED EXPERIENCE of a truly rich life.

I’m so excited for the unfolding. More soon.

Why Boundaries Are the Secret to a Healthy Life |  Dr. Tiffany Brown-Bush

Work-life balance can be a difficult thing to achieve, especially for super ambitious women.

This is why focusing on setting up healthy boundaries at work is a must if you want to achieve happiness and success in life and in business.

I know that many of us can struggle with putting ourselves first. Work, friends, clients, spouses… everything comes first, before our wellbeing. 

But it’s time to change this. It’s time to take care of ourselves and give ourselves the love we know we deserve. 

That will make us healthier and happier, and a happy person is more productive and more fulfilled, which makes them a better leader to their team.

To discuss all of this in more depth, I invited an expert on the podcast today.

She is a beautiful person in and out. She is someone who’s learned how to take care of her brain and her mental health, and she has made it her mission to share her gift with the world.

Her name is Dr. Tiffany Brown-Bush, and not only is she an amazing integrative mental health therapist, a traditional naturopath, and a board-certified doctor of natural medicine, she is also the person who’s helped me learn how to take care of my mental health when I needed it the most.

She and I had a riveting discussion about her personal journey of healing and entrepreneurship, money beliefs, and how to set up healthy boundaries at work, and I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.

Are you ready to take control of your happiness?

Yes, I know you are!

Let’s dive in.

Mastering Life and Business: Unveiling the Secrets of the Extraordinary

One of the principles I’ve learned while manifesting a really magnificent business and life is that Desire is Causative. 

It’s the cause or driver, the motivation for creating everything, including a truly expansive, extraordinary life.

This is the life that we know we were made for but (perhaps) haven’t yet lived to our fullest potential. 

One thing that blocks people from their greatness and living extraordinary is not understanding what a TRUE desire is.

This was true for me at one point in my life.

I had to decondition myself and teach myself what a true desire really was.

I had to overcome all the conditioning that had me suppressing what I wanted in favor of pleasing others.

I found that I was putting my desires on hold in favor of other people’s needs, even if they didn’t actually express them. 

I was so conditioned to fear letting other people down, that no one had to tell me to put them first anymore… it just became the voice in my head, driving me.

I lovingly call that voice “The Task Master.” (Do you have one too?)

Although I have great admiration for my will and work ethic, her shadow side is a suppression of my true wants and desires.

Sometimes to the point of ridiculousness… for example… 

I remember one day when I was working on something for a client and REALLY had to go to the bathroom, but kept putting it off until I finished what I was working on. 

Then it became just one more thing I had to do, then another and another. 

Everything else, for everyone else, was urgent. 

My own desires… even such a simple bodily desire as wanting to go to the bathroom took second place.

Now discipline is one thing, but I woke up at that moment realizing that this was the epitome of how I kept putting off my true desires for something else. 

So much so that I didn’t even know what I truly wanted.

#FacePalm!!! 

This was the path to being a good little worker bee but not the way to extraordinary success.

I had to recondition myself so I could actually tap into what I wanted. 

This started with asking myself simple questions, Did I really want a glass of lemonade or a nap? Did I have a response for this initiative in my business or was it just what that “marketing guru” said was hot at the moment?  

It started small, with a step-by-step deconditioning of jumping to meet other people’s needs (read: the demands of your business, your clients, your Team, your family, and yes, even your dog) in order to know what I truly wanted and follow that.

I had to tune into these small desires to really start to claim the bigger ones.

The result? 

I was willing and able to claim a goal of making $1 million dollars in a year. 

This was way beyond any desire I had previously held. But it was a TRUE DESIRE.

And I knew it to be true based on how it felt, which I had learned to tap into through all my deconditioning and practice.

I trusted it and could move forward with faith and belief.

Not only did that lead to a much larger income, but paved the way to so much more that I had no idea was possible for me but at some level wanted. Like… 

A lit-up sex life, an epic love, stepping into my authority, claiming my beauty, and last but not least…

A life lived with PURPOSE.

More on that next week.

Until then, a really powerful couple of questions to ask yourself are: What do you really want? And what’s getting in your way?

5 Key Elements Required to Lead From Your Feminine Not Your Masculine | Part 2

Most of us follow a more traditionally masculine leadership style because we were made to believe that’s the only way that works.

However, this doesn’t have to always be the case. Sometimes, embracing your feminine aura can be the better choice, especially when you want to lead with honesty, empathy, and intuition, and connect with your teams in a higher, more spiritual way.

Your feminine side is the emotional power that affects the ability to have honest conversations, and leaning into it can help you become a better, more effective leader.

This is exactly what I discuss in this week’s episode. In it, I’ll be sharing with you the last three key elements you need to follow to learn how to tap into your feminine side and lead from it, not only in business, but in life as well.

If you’ve always wanted to claim your desire, flow, emotions, and power, and become an unstoppable woman and leader, then this is for you.

And, if you’ve missed part one of this episode, make sure to go back and give it a listen to discover the first two elements!
