Surprise! You Already Have The Life You Always Wanted

The life that you are living right now, and everything in it, is exactly the one you wanted.

Many people would argue otherwise. You might be thinking, “No way, I never wanted X, Y, or Z circumstance that is in my life now” or “I would much rather have my dream business/career/relationship.

I invite you to consider, at least for the amount of time that it will take you to read this article, that the life you are living now is exactly the one you have been creating for yourself.

Last week we talked about why we don’t do the things that will bring us the greatest joy. But now here you are, going for your dream. Maybe you’ve just gotten started. Or maybe you’ve been at it for a while. Perhaps a long while. Maybe even through your entire adult life you have been trying to catch a break. And there you are working day in and day out towards it, but you still have a long way to go, so far in fact that it would take a miracle for you to arrive at your dream life tomorrow.

So with so much ground to still cover to reach the realization of your dream life, how could I say that the life you are living right now is the one you wanted?

Shortest answer: Because you have it.

Medium answer: Because it’s the one that your actions have been a match for.

Long answer:

Consider for a moment that Life always gives you what you ask for. That would be like having quite a loving friend, wouldn’t it? …having someone that gives you everything you ask for? Heck yeah!

But if that were the case, what about the things that we have in life now that we never asked for, or the things that we asked for that we have not received?

That’s the million dollar question isn’t it? We ask for X and we receive Y. Is our dear friend Life hard of hearing?

Well.. we could only pose that question if we were sure that Life speaks our dialect.

How have you made your requests of Life? In English? In Spanish? Mandarin Chinese? Is that a silly question to ask? Not really, if we are trying to discover how to best communicate with Life. After all, the Universe didn’t come with language built-in, humans invented it. So maybe it speaks none of them? Maybe it speaks all of them?

Or maybe it’s not a question of dialect?

Life isn’t our secretary. We could tell our secretary “get me some coffee”, and all of a sudden, like magic, there is a cup of coffee on our desk.

If only it were that easy to make requests of life.

But if it doesn’t work that way, then how does it work?

That’s a very loaded question with a very loaded answer.

For now, let’s just consider the following. If dialect is a human phenomena that at one point didn’t even exist in this world, then what’s something that is here by nature, in other words, has always been here from day one (whenever that might be)? There’s one thing that surely did exist in our physical universe long before human dialect.. Energy!

Everything in our universe is made of energy and vibration. For the sake of brevity, I will make the following assertions. Our thoughts, emotions, and actions are all made of energy.
Your strongest thoughts are those that you act upon. So consider that ACTION is the way to communicate with Life. Better said, thoughts backed by action and emotion. Better yet, purposeful action backed by gratitude.

And that’s as much as we will say about physics for the purpose of this article.

Life will always give you what you ask for. The questions to ask yourself are:

Am I putting in energy or action in proportion to the thing that I say I want?

Am I grateful for what is coming my way, or am I complaining about the lack of it?

99% of people talk about the things they want, but only 1% take the proportionate amount of action that would produce the result.

The best thing about taking these actions in service of your goals is that you yourself will start to become more and more convinced that you deserve the respective result. You will have been paying the price and will be expectant of the reward.

You can’t fool the universe. Let’s be honest, for most of us right now if we got an email informing us that your dream came true, we would most likely have to accredit it to pure luck.

Don’t leave it up to luck. Don’t try to fool the universe or yourself. Look at every action that you take in service of your goal as a deposit into your universal account. Soon enough you will have made enough deposits that the withdrawal of your desired reward will become the natural outcome.

You always win whatever game you are playing. Most of us just don’t see what game we have been playing. Take a close look at your life now. Consider that you are already winning some game. And ask yourself, “What game is my current life a victory for?”

When I first took a look for myself I realized the game I was playing for many years was a game called

“Let’s see what’s the longest I can put things off for”

And a few years later for another couple of years I played a different game called:

“Do the least work”

I was really good at that game! The only problem is I never felt truly deserving of what I said I wanted.

What game are you playing? Feel free to share in the comments. And I invite you to start playing a new game. Start taking enough purposeful action in service of your goals.

See you on the other side!

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency
of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality.
It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”
