Hello,
Welcome.
My name is Lew Redman.
Thank you for listening.
I hope this message is empowering for you.
I have a confession to make.
I am addicted to checking email.
I live in this fantasy world where if I just meditate enough,
I will attract my dreams,
The things that I want,
The opportunities I seek,
That they will just come to me.
And it manifests in this unhealthy pattern of opening my inbox and searching for that dopamine hit of validation.
I'm hoping that maybe because I've done all that energy work and meditation and pulling things to me,
That when I open my inbox,
Someone will be inviting me to speak at their event.
Or a dream client will ask to work with me.
Or a new enrollment comes in one of my courses.
Or maybe,
Just maybe,
Oprah's team writes,
Lew,
Oprah read your book,
Find Your Truth,
And she wants to talk.
While I'm all about expecting great things to happen,
Which is a meditation you can listen to on this app,
It can be a recipe for disappointment if left unchecked.
Because most days,
I open my inbox to some assistant updates,
Some calendar invites,
A tech platform that I forgot I signed up for,
And a forwarded inspirational quote from my mom,
Which I know is more precious than Oprah calling.
I often have to remind myself,
It's up to me to create the opportunities I seek.
Yes,
We need patience,
But patience doesn't mean waiting idly.
It means planting seeds,
Watering them,
And seeing what grows.
We have to take action,
Put ourselves out there,
Risk being seen,
Risk failure.
Meditation and prayer are amazing,
But we have to get off our cushions and into the world.
We have to meet God halfway.
So I ask you,
Where are you waiting for something to happen?
Your dreams aren't going to magically appear in your inbox.
They need your active participation.
It's likely not the perfect time,
It will never feel quite right,
And you'll never feel quite ready.
The path is laid by walking it.
This week,
I hope you take action to create the opportunities that you seek.
Write the thing,
Post the thing,
Ask the person out,
Whatever it might be for you to have an impact,
To have an influence on that in your life.
Go out there,
Make something happen,
Know that I am rooting for you.
And if you'd like some deeper support on this,
My Insight Timer course,
Five principles to build confidence,
Create momentum,
And activate your soul's work,
It really has the energy of this little motivational talk to help you get out there,
Get engaged,
And get moving on your dreams.
So if that's calling to you and you want to do some meditations around this as well,
Highly recommend checking out that course,
And we'll connect with you soon.
