Creating miracles in your life...

Would you like to get to a place in your life where you were free from the regrets of your past and the fear of the future? Would you like to get to a place where there was nothing but "the here and now;" where each moment was a gift; where there was nothing to worry about and nothing to fear because when you are in the timeless space of now, there can exist no fear or worry; where you are grateful for all that is, exactly as it is; where you literally feel the miracle of life expanding in your body with every breath you take; where colors are brighter, your body is lighter, and energy is limitless; where you create instant connections with people and you feel like you are surrounded and engulfed by love; where you are still going about your day but it seems like everything around you is moving in slow motion? 

All this may seem like a dream to you, but I promise you it is very much a reality that is within your reach.  I guarantee that you achieve these states on a daily basis, even if it is only for a fleeting moment that you aren't even aware of.  This state is what is referred to as a flow state, a state of complete presence, or being in the now.  Let me give you an example.  I used to play baseball growing up, and very few would argue that hitting a baseball is one of the most challenging things to do in any sport. Actually, there was a study done that determined it is mathematically impossible for a person to hit a baseball coming in at 90 mph from 60 feet away, which is a feat every college, professional, and many high school baseball players on the planet are able to do.  They calculated that at the speed the ball is traveling along with the time it takes for the brain to process the information and translate that into a swing of the bat, it should be literally a mathematical and scientific impossibility to hit a baseball.  This doesn't even take into consideration the coordination and precision it takes to hit a tiny ball with a narrow stick while the ball is moving on different places and trajectories.  It is a scientific mystery that is nothing short of a miracle yet people do it with consistency and regularity on a daily basis.  This wouldn't be possible without the batter being in a state of complete presence and nowness.  I remember when I was a baseball player and I would enter these states of complete presence and consciousness.  It was literally as if time was slowing down. It is a place of consciousness that is unexplainable, yet undeniable. You may not have ever had this experience as a baseball player, but I can guarantee you have had this experience in other areas of your life.  Maybe you are a martial artist, a golfer, or a runner? Think of a time when you were sparring with someone, hitting a perfect golf shot, or seemed to be able to run forever. Maybe you're not an athlete, but there was a time when you were reading a book, looking into the eyes of a lover, or playing with a child, and the world seemed to disappear around you.  Think of someone you have interacted with, a spouse, a friend, or a colleague, and you had the feeling that a 10 ton tractor trailer could crash through the room and come within inches of hitting you, and neither you nor the person you were with would even flinch.  

These are the moments I am talking about! These are the moments of pure consciousness, flow, and nowness!  These the are the moments that are the fuel of our very existence as human beings! Now, we know we all have these moments but they may be very rare and unpredictable. They may occur in our life without us even being aware of it or they may even appear as a slight discomfort or annoyance because it differs from our normal life of disconnectedness.  The million dollar question is how do we create these moments in our life whenever we want? How do we make this the norm rather than the exception? How do we bring a level of intention, gratitude, love, and connection to everything we do from taking out the garbage and doing the dishes to performing at our job to connecting with the people in our life who are all around us? It comes down to one little dirty word.... PRACTICE! 

This level of living is very rare to find because very few people are willing to put in the work it takes to create this kind of a life.  This type of a life is not for the weak willed or weak at heart. This type of life is available for anyone who is willing to put in the work, time, and commitment to making this a reality.  As Wayne Dyer says, "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Living a life of possibility as opposed to a life of probability is within reach if you are willing to commit yourself to a life of excellence.  If you have read this far, you are already in the upper echelon of people who want something greater for your life.  The way you make it a reality is through action and an unrelenting commitment to that action.  Don't settle for anything less than an extraordinary life because you deserve it.  Now get out there and make it happen.

Love,

Matt
