The Ultimate Path to Wealth and Freedom
Are you paying attention to the Universe?
I don’t have time to meditate.
Not in the traditional sense.
For me, meditation happens at night.
I lay awake in bed once my wife drifts off to sleep, close my eyes, and focus on my breath.
Fleeting images move in and out of my consciousness like waves breaking on a sandy beach. Good ideas crash hard against the shoreline of my mind before retreating back into the infinite ocean of possibilities.
When a good idea hits me, I don’t let it go.
Instead, I ride the wave to see where it takes me.
Should you follow your passion?
At this point, the phrase “follow your passion” has become trite advice.
It’s a vague call to adventure so oft-repeated it has lost all meaning.
I’ve offered the “follow your passion” advice so frequently, I’ve lost count.
The advice seems obvious to people who have discovered their passion and are actively approaching life from their deepest purpose.
But if you’re swimming in a sea of social media distractions and polluted ideas, finding your passion is damn near impossible. You’re searching in the wrong place.
If you want to find your passion, you have to find your purpose.
To do that, you must turn inward and burn off the layers of inauthenticity.
You have to get to the core of who you are, what being a creator means to you, and what gifts you can offer the world.
Some people will give up reading at this point or will have given up reading already. If you’re still here, good. You’re willing to explore your infinite potential and give your greatest gifts to the world.
Alchemy (noun):
An early modern philosophical and proto-scientific tradition that aimed to transform base metals into gold, discover the elixir of life, and achieve spiritual enlightenment through symbolic processes.
Creators are Alchemists.
The real alchemical process isn’t about turning base metals into gold, this is a cartoonish representation of a deeply spiritual practice.
Real alchemy is about transforming the thoughts in your mind into tangible wealth in the real world.
It is what freemasons, witches, and occultists have practiced in the shadows for centuries. It’s what religious and political institutions, who seek control, attempt to keep hidden from the masses.
But you don’t have to join the Illuminati to become an alchemist.
The best way to practice alchemy and change your life in the digital age is through the power of writing.
Self-discovery through writing.
A daily writing habit is undoubtedly the most magical, mystical, metaphysical way to manifest wealth in the known universe.
Embracing a daily writing habit helps you to clarify goals, express ideas, and stay focused on your aspirations.
Through the act of consistent writing, you tap into the potential of your thoughts and intentions, turning them into actionable plans.
Real alchemy happens when you transform abstract ideas into tangible things. This simple daily practice serves as a conduit for the manifestation of wealth in your current reality.
And while you can think that sounds hokey or flaky or just plain stupid, it doesn’t make it any less true.
Decide right now to commit to publishing every day on Medium for the next year. I’m confident you will look back on this moment and say it was the best decision you ever made in your life.
The worst that can happen?
You get everything you ever wanted.
Do you know someone who is deathly afraid of public speaking?
I can almost guarantee you their personal path to wealth and happiness will involve public speaking in some capacity.
Shy or introverted with low self-confidence?
You’ll have to put yourself on display for the world to criticize.
If you want to achieve greatness in any area of your life, you need to live at your edge. You need to actively expand the boundary of your comfort zone.
You must put one foot over the line at a time, continually redesigning your comfort zone and — ultimately — your life.
It’s the only way forward.
