Several years ago, I busted out a sheet of paper, and wrote down all the components of my most ideal life. It involved traveling the world for as long as I wanted, whenever I wanted, funding it with online sources of income. At the time, I had been doing some work on myself. I was familiar with the law of attraction and had seen some pretty cool results from working consciously with the principles. There was a part of me that knew I was capable of more.
But, by and large, my life was still kind of sucky in many ways. I was having a lot of financial problems. My father had died recently, and I was grappling with that. I felt stuck and stagnant. If I was honest with myself, I was not putting in as much effort as I should have been. In short, there was not a damn thing about my current reality that suggested anything on that list could materialize. But, I did the exercise as suggested. I just let the desires pour out of me without any censoring. I didn’t base what I thought was possible for my future on what my life experience had been up until this point. It is crucial you do the same when formulating your desires.
Over time, things came together, and before I knew it, I was living the life that had once been relegated to just some thoughts on a piece of paper. On my last visit home, I found that paper and everything on it had come true. It was pretty amazing.
Here I am in my 42nd month of traveling the world. I am penning this post from an ocean-view home in Fiji, where I have been living for free the past four months as a house sitting assignment. My mobile sources of income include freelance writing and coaching services, where I help people make all the awesome changes I have made in my own life. I want everyone to know they too can live a life made to order, whatever that means to them.
My fiance Ryan runs an uber-successful blog, and he so graciously asked me to provide a guest post to his readers. He is all about selling the dream, and living life on your own terms, so I thought a post detailing four core components of what helped me morph into who I am now would be helpful and inspirational. So, for a continuation of my musings on what can help you create your ideal life, please check it out here.
Thanks for sharing the inspired post KC!
Ryan
Thank you for the opportunity to write it! I hope your audience enjoys it!
Thanks for giving me the opportunity.. I hope your readers enjoy it!
Hi Kelli Cooper it is you little Irish Buddha here again.
I just love your posts and your blogs and I seem to connect with you and Ryan more than I do with any other LOA coach.
I too want a lifestyle like you have but of course somewhat different and I know that this will manifest but I don’t know how or when but I know it will. I too am constantly working on myself to be more positive and to remain so even though the dark clouds still arrive overhead but I have learned to stand back from them and to observe what is really happening before I take action if need be. Before this I would just stick my head into the dark cloud and be miserable wishing it to just go away but now I have the ability to just laugh at the adverse conditions and enjoy the ride of the storm. The first thing I do in the morning is to make the intention to be happy and to stay happy no matter what.
Now having stated that I had a rough ride this year running alongside my my beautiful intentions were the dark clouds that amassed without my knowledge or being obvious to me. The ironic thing about the events of this year was that my family, who were/are inclusive to my success and who would/will benefit greatly from it have, disrespected me publicly causing humiliation and embarrassment for a brief period. I had to ensure that I was not put into that situation ever again and I have told them so in no uncertain terms and I have had no contact with them and now it is almost five months. Unfortunately, the adult persons involved are my three children and my three sisters; this is sad I know but I have left the proverbial door open to come and discuss this situation with me. Alas, none have bothered to take the opportunity thus far and so I continued to move on despite the sadness of the whole affair. I am not sure if this is part of my progression to my ultimate goals, my intentions, or my driven will to have a better life in happiness but one thing is sure is that this did happen and I have accepted it for the good.
Now to get back to what other things have manifested: I have completed my latest novel and it is almost ready for publication both digitally and in hard copy whoopee so I am ecstatic about that. I needed to have someone to organise my marketing advertising strategy and behold my friend offered and was duly accepted by yours truly. Also I decided with the help of intuition and inspiration to create a new persona, a new pen name other than my own, so please let me introduce you to Mr John Lennon Cohen. ‘So where did all of this come from’ I hear you ask (well not you or Ryan because I know you already know LOL); well the universe of course so now it is onward and upwards for me John Lennon Cohen whoopee!
Thank you Kelli Cooper n Ryan for sharing your beautiful life with me and I am putting it out there that I want to have one or more friends like you for I connect with you heart, soul, spirit, and mind. I am also putting it out there that I will meet the both of you in person, I don’t know how but I know this will also come to pass.
Yours sincerely
John Lennon Cohen
Dominic! So glad to hear from you. I was wondering what you have been up to. I know you had been working on your book and that is awesome it is finished. I am sure it will be wonderful…please send me the information when it is ready for purchase. I would love to read it! The Universe never steers us wrong so good idea to listen to it.
I am sorry to hear you have been having a rough time with your family. No one can quite get to us like them, whether intentional or unintentional. When they don’t understand our life, what we want and what have you, or downright disapprove, it can be a tough pill to swallow for even the highest vibing, confident people. We all want a sense of community, and naturally expect it from the people to whom we are related. When we don’t get it from them, it can be difficult. We can’t ever know exactly why someone manifested a particular situation, but generally speaking, this type of situation is usually brought on predominantly by the vibrational mismatch of people like yourself and those who may not be as devoted to their betterment and happiness. I am sure your family will eventually come around, but they may not be able to cross over to your threshold right now, which is why they have not accepted your offer to talk it out. I doubt it will be permanent. Either they will raise up a bit and enter your orbit, or any internal work you do on yourself will help you manifest a different ‘version’ of them whenever you do see them.
You seem to have a great attitude and I have no doubt you can successfully weather the storms you encounter!
You know Kelli I just love hearing from you and Ryan (did you know the Kelly n Ryan are in the top most common surnames used in Ireland?)
You are part of my new family and I have put it out there to expand this as citizens of the universe and not just of a country or planet!
Yes it seems that plenty of my former friends are been left behind but not all and new one are emerging slowly but surely and I trust in the process. I am ecstatic and happy as is my intention and to remain so limitlessly and as was often stated ‘The world is my Oyster’
Now back to something I suggested to you about writing a book – if you just combine all your blogs into some kind of chronological order Eureka you have your book and I know it will generate an extra income for you. I for sure would love this as I would have all your invaluable advice in one place – so there is a thought for you.
I will certainly let you know when I have published my latest and it will be up on Amazon.
It has been an absolute pleasure as always Kelli
Sincerely
John Lennon Cohen
