The Universe and Manifestation

When I read You Are A Badass for the first time I started and stopped it more times than I can remember. Spirituality, believing in the power of the Universe, manifesting, etc. was a woo-woo nonsense concept to me at the time. I remember thinking the book was a waste of time and asking myself why I kept reading it when there were more realistic self-help books I should move on to.

Shortly after finishing the book I was out of town for a conference. I attended dozens of CPA conferences in my 11 year career. They are generally held in hotel conference rooms with room dividers and no windows.

On this trip I decided to test the universe. I literally remember thinking ‘okay Universe, let’s try this. I want a window in this conference room. Just a window.’

I did NOT believe there would be windows.

Imagine my absolute shock when every room that conference had sessions in had a floor to ceiling, wall to wall window on one wall.

Everything I thought I knew changed in that moment. My mindset shifted. And my entire life changed over the next year.

Fast forward to 8/22/21 when I wrote this in my journal:

“I’m putting it into the Universe now. I will meet and work with Dave Hollis.”

I wrote about why I wanted to work with Dave and that I wanted to meet him via 1:1 coaching. I didn’t know how, just that it was going to happen. His website doesn’t even list 1:1 coaching as a service and even if it did I was sure it would carry a hefty price tag.

This past Saturday Dave’s personal assistant reached out to me on Facebook to let me know I won a free one hour 1:1 coaching session with Dave over zoom.

I thought I might be getting spammed, but it was confirmed in the announcements in the private Facebook group for the over 6,000 people that pre-ordered his new book.

I was speechless. And then giddy with excitement.

This, just after meeting John Maxwell and getting 1:1 time at the Mentorship social with the amazing leadership in The John Maxwell Team last week.

I had an idea in March 2020, realized I had a dream in May 2020 (which was sparked by an event with Dave Hollis and John Maxwell), and I began taking action in 2021. Now I feel like things I can’t even begin to understand are unfolding.

All I really know is that the best is yet to come.

Do you have a dream? What if the Universe wants you to live into your full potential and realize that dream? What if you just started taking action as if that were true? Where could you be 1, 5, 10 years from now?
