The thing you really don’t want to do…

January 30, 2013 drewrozell Leave a Comment

 

The thing you really don’t want to do?

Condemn yourself.

Sure, this sounds simple enough. Straight-forward. Logical.

But if you were to begin to monitor your thoughts, I’d wager that you’d be surprised at home often you choose thoughts that make yourself wrong.

You beat yourself up for a mistake. You feel a sense of shame over a failure. You knock yourself for not being more successful or having more money. And how about thoughts about your body?

The fastest way to create what you’re really wanting is to start by being okay with where you are, where ever you are.

To be clear, you’d don’t have to like your current reality, but you cannot actively choose thoughts of NOT liking it and move an inch closer to your desires.

Understanding this distinction holds the power to make a huge difference as to what you allow into your experience.

So ease up on yourself.

Because you really have no choice if you wish to create a cooler life.

Why You Should Root For Snooki

April 8, 2011 drewrozell 1 Comment

Yes, really. You should root for Snooki.

If you don’t know, Snooki is a reality television star on popular show, The Jersey Shore.

I’ve never seen her show and know little about her, but am aware of her presence in popular culture.

One of the things I learned about Snooki is that she was paid $32,000 to speak at Rutgers University. I learned this because I kept seeing people posting on their Facebook statuses how outraged they were at this “injustice”.

(After all, esteemed author/poet Toni Morrison received $2000 less to speak at Rutgers’ graduation. Nobel Laureates were paid 1/10 Snooki’s fee!)

After researching some news articles and comments, most (but not all) people took turns bashing the University and taking cheap shots at the Snookster.

The gist of the protests went like this — Why should a vapid, drunken, airhead be so highly compensated?

Here’s the thing…

When people condemn someone else for attracting lots of money, underneath it all, what they’re really saying is:

How come she gets all that money? She’s getting more than her fair share. I want more money too. And I have lots of talent and wonderful qualities. I should be getting more than I am. And I really deserve it, too!

Of course you want more money. Of course you’d like to be paid $32K to do a little Q and A.

This is perfectly natural.

What’s more, it’s all waiting for you.

However, in order to experience that same level of prosperity, instead of hating on the Snookies of the world, you’ll need to begin rooting them.

No, really…

You have to accept that the reason Snooki attracts that kind of money is not an accident. It’s not luck. It’s not right or wrong. It just is.

Currently, she’s an energetic match for bringing in those kinds of dollars. She expects it. She allows it.

And so the money flows to her.

There’s no mystery here. No dumb luck. Nothing to be outraged about. Just simple, predictable Universal Law at work (this is Key#1 of The Very Cool Life Code. Just thought I’d mention that…)

Your condemnation (anger, resentment, jealousy) of another’s success says nothing about the other person.

Zero. Zippo. Nada.

Rather, the negative feeling that arises within you from another’s success is critical feedback that you are cutting yourself off from the dollars you want to flow into your life.

If you’re not attracting all the abundance into your life that you desire, the issue is not Snooki. Nor the administrators at Rutgers. In fact,  it’s not no body nor no thing… It’s YOU.

You’ll know that you are living in alignment with prosperity when you find yourself rooting for Snooki and genuinely happy for the successes of other people (whether you resonate with the person or not). When you feel good when others succeed, this is your indication that you are no longer blocking your own prosperity.

When you think about it, condemning the success of others is an easy habit to fall into. It’s simply what most people do (and why most people don’t allow the $ they really want into their lives).

But to live a Very Cool Life, you have to be better than that. You have to more more aware. You have to live with the faith that the Universe is full of unlimited abundance — there’s more than enough for everybody.

Your job is to align your thoughts to let it all in.

A good place to start is to begin the conscious practice of upgrading the thoughts you choose in regards to the achievements of other people.

Even Snooki.

The Insidious Habit that keeps you Stuck

January 10, 2011 drewrozell 4 Comments

Do you focus on the darkness? Or the light?

Don’t tell me what you hate.

Don’t tell me who you think is to blame.

Don’t tell me what you don’t like.

Don’t tell me about how s(he) doesn’t deserve to be so successful.

Don’t tell what you think is so wrong with the world.

Being critical is easy.

So easy that it’s seductive.

More than seductive. Insidious.

Why?

Being critical has its roots in being “right” about something.

If I tell you how bad something or somebody else is, my ego gets a little boost.

Being critical allows you to gratify your ego, to say “I am right about this. I know best.”

But our ego does not have our best interests in mind.

Never did. Never will.

Here’s the thing that most people do not get (and a key factor that separates people who live Very Cool Lives from The Herd).

When you take a moment to go inward, you’ll notice that being critical does not feel good.

Never did. Never will.

Your ego likes to try and fool you, but operating from the ego is like eating at McDonald’s. With the quick high of immediate, mindless gratification comes a predictable crash.

Becoming aware of this habit and making a new  choice takes practice.

Until you care more about how you feel than being right, you can expect to fall prey to the habit of being critical.

Towards others. And towards yourself.

The effect is that by connecting to this field of negative thoughts (critical thoughts are always negative thoughts), you’re choosing to poison your own well.

If you want a Very Cool Life, you need to be better than that.

So why not see what happens when you stop speaking, thinking, and posting about what you don’t like and start telling the world what you love?
