Stretch your budget without the stress. My best friend Matt and I were.

Dr. Tara Swart (23:11)

Remembering how back in the old days we'd have to physically walk through all the aisles of multiple different stores to find everything on the school supply list. Now he and his wife just need to do a quick search on Amazon and they find exactly what their kids need and more, which gives them more time to soak up the last moments of summer break. So remember, with Amazon's low backed school.

Jay Shetty (23:35)

Prices, just spend less on your kids.

Dr. Tara Swart (23:38)

Because every dollar you don't spend on them is a dollar you haven't spent on them. Shop back to school at Amazon and.

Step number three, while you're manifesting things wrong is that gratitude and generosity is the true gateway to abundance. Gratitude and generosity is the true gateway to abundance. Now, you could apply this to love, you can apply this to relationships, you can apply this to health, money. And again, I'm going to go from a quote from my friend Dr. Tara Swart, neuroscientist, who talks all about manifesting and the neuroscience of manifesting and how it really works based on the brain and the neuroscience. She says the brain changes according to what we focus on. Gratitude primes your brain to see more opportunity. Let me say this again to you. The brain changes according to what we focus on. Gratitude primes your brain to see more opportunity. So what this means is you attract what you radiate. Wherever your energy is right now, you're attracting based on that energetic frequency and radiation. Again, remember the earlier quote, you attract based on your psychological wounds. So if you are wounded psychologically, emotionally, you're going to attract based on that, you might attract some things not so good, maybe some other things good. But if you're radiating energetically from a place of wholeness, from a place of poise, calm, confidence, clarity, vision, leadership, Accountability, responsibility, integrity. You are radiating higher levels of frequency. When you're living in a space of love, gratitude and generosity. You are radiating a frequency that just is a magnet for attracting more of what you want, more great opportunities. Generosity isn't just giving money away to people because they ask for it. It's showing up fully for people, being present, connecting with people, looking in their eyes, listening to them intently, sharing ideas, spending quality time with people. Generosity isn't just like, let me write you a check and here you go. It's. It's really being there for yourself generously and being there for the people around you generously. This is what makes the world, as cliche as it sounds, a better place. By being present, connected, loving, giving and generous. And gratitude makes your current life just feel richer. You're just abundant when you're grateful because you see things. You could be outside on a walk and see a tree and say, man, I'm so grateful for this tree because it's giving me oxygen, it's allowing me to breathe, it's cleaning the air so I can have better air. Thank you, tree. You can be grateful for the person that smiled walking down the street, someone who just said something kind and gave you a compliment. You can be grateful for the smallest of things, the dog that you know cuddled up next to you on your legs and like, let you pet it or whatever. For the littlest of things and the biggest of things. Gratitude makes your current life feel rich, feel expansive, feel abundant, feel worth it. And wherever you put your energy is where you put your attention and your focus. So you put your attention and focus on gratitude, it's going to expand and create more of that in your life. You know, I'm a big fan of giving. Once I started making real money, I remember thinking to myself, okay, I've been doing this for like four or five years and I'm starting to make some good money for myself. Like again, I was living in, I was living below my means. I was living 4.95amonth. I had no car, I was walking everywhere. I was saving everything because I was afraid to go back and be poor. I didn't want to be poor on my sister's couch. So I just hoarded my money for a few years. Everything I made, put in the bank, I was kind of afraid again. My money story created my money, personality style. Everything I talk about in this book to allow you to heal your money wounds, to create peace and freedom around money is the key. So make sure you get this book as well, because it talks about how to heal the psychological money wounds that are blocking you from abundance. But after about four or five years, I was like, I just felt called to do more. I was like, okay, I've stacked some money, I've saved it, and all I do is work and walk because I didn't have a car. Still, I was making money, but living like a broke college kid, essentially eating ramen and, like, walking everywhere, because I was like, ah, I don't want to lose any money. And after about four or five years, I said, I feel like I want to start giving back. And I don't want to just give randomly to whoever is asking for money. But, like, what means something to me. What means something to me is I saw a speech on an event of a guy named Adam Braun, who created an organization called Pencils of Promise. And he built schools all over the world in countries that were developing countries. And I saw his story about why he started building schools and the impact it made on these young kids who didn't have a place to go to school, who didn't have a building, who didn't have a little hut that it could go into and learn. And when he was traveling around the world, he would carry pencils with him and he would give kids pencils. And the reason he did that is because one kid, he asked a kid, what do you want? And he said, I just want a pencil. And when he handed him the pencil, this kid lit up like it was like he won a million dollars by getting a pencil for free from my friend Adam Braun. And Adam said that it sparked an imagination and awe and a wonder inside of this kid in that moment, because he could see the potential for learning, for studying, for school, of what it could create for him to get out of the poverty and the experience that he was in in that moment. And then he started building schools. He built a school for that kid later. And I was like, wow. You know, I struggled in school growing up, but at least I had school. At least I had an opportunity to learn. And there's so many kids around the world that don't have a place to go to learn basic education, and they will always be blocked from opportunities in life without a basic education. And I was like, this is a cause that I could get behind. And when I met him after he gave this speech, I go, I want to build a school for you. And three months later, we donated the money and we built a school. I think six months after that. And he said, most people come up to me and say they want to build a school, but most people never take action and actually follow through on it. Thank you for being your word. And I got to go visit that school a couple years later. And you see 100 kids joyful, happy, and you can fast forward 10, 15, 20 years, and you can see what these kids could potentially be creating in their communities, in their cities, for their families, for their countries, and how they could be living new dreams because you wanted to add value and give back. And I want you to be thinking about how you can be generous in your life. And again, you don't have to go build schools. You don't have to cure cancer. You don't have to donate to every charity. You don't have to do all that. But how can you be generous in your life? And what can you set as an intention for this year of what you want to be generous with? Because when you say, I want to donate $100, $1,000, I want to donate $5,000 this year to this cause that I really care about. What you're saying and what you're signaling to the universe and to your future self is this is really important to be able to find a way to serve this cause. These people, these animals, nature, the planet, whatever it is that you want to serve, you care about. It's coming from your heart. And you say, I'm going to serve this cause, and I want to donate this much in the next six months or 12 months. It's going to give you more purpose in your life. It's going to give you a sense of urgency. It's going to give you more pressure to say, who do I need to become to make this money, to take this time off so I can donate my time to find resources to have courage to go out there and add value to this cause. And when you live from that state, it's just going to make you a better person. It's going to allow you to attract more opportunities in your life as well. And again, we're talking about why you're manifesting things wrong. It's because so many people are trying to do these steps backwards, or they're trying to do a few of them, but they don't go deep. And the fourth key to really how to manifest the right way is that your energy is currency and you need to raise your frequency to a new level of energy. I love this quote from Maya Angelou, who said, people will forget. People will what you said. People will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. I Wonder why this quote always gets me. And I think it's because I never felt like I was a smart kid. And I never felt like I knew what to say. And I never felt like I had the accolades or I was cool. I was kind of always like picked on and just, I was like the goofy, tall, skinny kid that just couldn't speak that well and was always in the bottom of my class. I was in special needs classes all through high school. So they would take me separate with a couple other kids who were kind of falling behind. And we would have tutors during lunch when other kids were at recess and kids would walk by the room and they would laugh at me. And it just never felt like, never felt like I was smart enough, never felt like I was good enough or talented enough, good looking enough. Like all these things, like I didn't have any friends. It was just kind of like, huh? And then when I remember hearing this quote, people will forget what you said, but people. And people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. When I heard that, I think I heard this like I was 16 or 17 when I first heard it. And I remember thinking after I heard this quote, I have a chance. I have a chance then because I'm never going to be the smartest, I'm never going to be the most talented, I'm never going to be the most handsome. Or like, people are not going to like me for my looks or whatever it might be. But maybe I could find a way to ask really good questions. Maybe I could listen to people. Maybe I can just bring positive energy and be kind and generous and giving and grateful and appreciative. And maybe if people feel good around me because I'm generous and compassionate and kind and curious and a good listener, then they'll never forget that. And when people never forget how you made them feel, they want to be around you. They want to create opportunities for you. They want to see you win, they want to see you succeed. When you make people feel like crappy and not good when you're around them, they don't want to help you. They want to get away from you. They want to repel you. So we need to be thinking about raising our energy and our frequency to create more and to attract more. Because energy is currency and you need to raise your frequency to match higher levels of frequency and energy that support your vision and your dreams. Show up with energy, attitude and effort. You know, it's interesting, there's a study out there and I'm going to mess up these stats. But there's a study out there that shows that wait staff waiter staff at restaurants when they introduce themselves by first name and when they ask the person sitting down or the group sitting down what their names are and they say them back and they also acknowledge them for the orders that they make and they say oh I like the salad, that's a great choice Sarah, that's a great choice Carl whatever her name is and they say that's a great choice and they send them by the name and they tell them their name. They have done studies where they are given more tips, up to 15 to 23% more than people that don't say their name and acknowledge them for the order choice that they made. And that doesn't take much. It just takes raising your energy and your frequency to show you care. So what can you do in your life today to show you care more? That allows you to attract more in your life as well.

The fifth thing your purpose isn't found, it's built again. Dr. Tara Swart. We're talking about her a lot today. The neuroscientist who really studies manifestation from a neuroscience point of view says neuroplasticity means you can literally rewire your brain to become who you want to be. Purpose isn't a lightning bolt, it's a muscle you build by saying yes, showing up and evolving. So what does that mean? Just because your past has held you back or blocked you or made you feel like you're not worthy enough, neuroplasticity means you can rewire your brain to become who you want to become. If you would have told me from my 8 year old self when I was 8 years old, a number of things had happened in my life. I was sexually abused by a man that I didn't know when I was five. At the ages of eight until 12, my brother went to a prison for four and a half years and I went to visit his prison almost every single weekend during visiting hours. And I was surrounded by convicts in prison for four and a half years. And life was challenging during those four and a half years because growing up in a small town, I wasn't allowed to have any friends because everyone knew that my older brother was in prison and therefore I was a bad kid too. So no parents would let their friends hang out with me for four and a half years. It hurt our family. My parents went through a lot of shame and guilt. My brother went through a lot of shame and guilt. He got out on early behavior. He's transformed his Life. This was 25 years ago and it's made him better. But man, if you would have talked to me when I was 8 years old visiting a prison for the first time or 12 years old, still visiting a prison, not having any friends, going through the abuse that I went through, feeling unsafe emotionally, being in the bottom of my class, being made fun of, picked on. I never would have thought that life would end up the way it is. And it wasn't until I really started getting into sports more and having coaches and having teams to surround myself with more positive, empowering goal setting and structure and organization where I started to become greater and see how I could become greater. Every single season of life, you can rewrite your story. You don't have to be your past. You don't have to stay stuck in those painful memories of the past. They can be a memory, you don't have to block them. They can be a memory that you can say, look what I overcame to get here and use it as an empowering memory, man, look what I was able to create for myself. That creation creates confidence. To go from that weak kid to where I'm at today just builds repetitions of confidence of how much courage I'd have and overcome from the pain of how much I had to take on my life every single day. All these things I had to overcome. It was like, oh, man, this is powerful. This can be empowering if I'm willing to rewrite this. So take note of all the lessons in each season of your life and look at where you're at right now and just lean into them. It's okay if you don't know what your purpose is, but the goal that you should have right now is, how can I be purpose if I don't know my purpose? How can I be purpose? And being Purpose means showing up positively, showing up generously, showing up with gratitude and appreciation for life, showing up with a joy for life, an expression of like, man, it's great to be alive and how can I add value? That's what this is about. Purpose grows from contribution, not from completion. So it's not about, oh, I need to contemplate my life. I need to complete something and then I'll feel purposeful. It's about showing up and just being joy every single day. That's purpose. The sixth thing you need to speak to your money, love and your purpose like they're people. Now, this may sound a little weird, but Rhonda Byrne says your feelings are your greatest tool to help you create your life, your thoughts create your feelings. Now, there's a story I talk about, and I talk about it a lot from this book, Make Money Easy. As I just went through this process around money is. I want you to ask yourself right now, wherever you're sitting, wherever you're watching this right now, if money was a person and they showed up in your life in this moment, they walked in the room, they walked in front of you. And the idea of everything you think about money is, was in a person's form and it walked in front of you, how would you respond? How would you think? How would you feel? What would you say? How would you act if money were a person, how would you respond? Would you be excited to see money and grateful? Would you be nervous and scared? Would you hate money and say, get away from me? How would you react and respond? I'd love to hear your comment below on how you would respond. I asked someone in their late 20s, I said, if money walked in the door and you were at a restaurant, what would you do? And this person said, I would walk up and go to the bar and hide. I would leave my seat and hide by the bar. And then I would start talking bad about money behind its back as I was walking in. And then if it came up to me, I would act like I was his friend. Then I would use and abuse money when I needed money, and then I would ghost it if it ever reached out to me. And I was like, wow, this is a very descriptive experience, an honest experience. Thank you for sharing. It sounds like you have a very unhealthy relationship with money. And they were like, yes, I do. I was like, well, at least you're self aware. That's good. But our money relationship, the relationship we have with money and how we interpret money is going to impact whether we're manifesting and abundant, creating more abundance of it in our lives, or we're blocking it with every situation we see it. So you need to be thinking about, if money were a person and it walked in, how would I respond? And again, this goes back to your money story and your money personally style. We need to be healing and mending this relationship that we have with money, with love, with health, with family. We need to be mending this because you attract people, you attract money based on the psychological wound you have with that thing or with that person or with that idea of that thing. So once you start to heal and become whole psychologically and emotionally within you, that's when you can start to create abundance outside of you, create a flow coming to you. But otherwise we're going to be blocking things from not shifting that psychological wound.

And the seventh and final thing is that the richest life is one where you feel free. If you want to manifest correctly, the richest life is one where you feel free. I don't know if you've ever heard this, but inner peace is the new rich. Most people want to have cars and they think about buying a home and they want to get fancy watches and they want to have all the bling and they want to be able to spend money on fancy vacations and they think they want all these things. But in reality, inner peace is the new rich. Because with all those things, if you are stressed, if you are constantly living in fight or flight mode, if you are overwhelmed, if you don't feel lovable, if you don't feel enough, then all the money in the world, all the fancy things, all the Instagram posts of you in front of fancy cars isn't going to mean squat if you don't feel the peace and harmony within you. The greatest gift you can give yourself is inner peace. Is feeling peaceful, is feeling abundant. And again, the richest life is one where you feel free. Because if you feel trapped, if you feel like a prisoner and you have all the money in the world, you're going to suffer. And you might be saying, ah, if people have money, how could they suffer? It's because they haven't figured out the inner world. It's because their mind is playing tricks on them. And yes, life can be better with more money, but it doesn't mean someone doesn't have more problems if they haven't done the inner world, the inner manifesting, the inner healing first. Inner peace is the new rich. Don't just aim to get things, aim to feel free enough to enjoy them when they arrive. And I'll leave you with this final story. I was living in an apartment building in Los Angeles five years ago during the pandemic. It was a really fancy apartment building. It was a nice building and a lot of successful people lived there. There was fancy cars, you know, cars that were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars coming in and out of the driveway every day. There were people of all walks of life, celebrities, billionaires. People had second apartments there from other homes. They were flying in and out. And one weekend I went away on a trip and I was driving back into the valet to the building and there was a white tent in the valet, in the building, down in front of the building. And I was driving into the valet and the valet attendant came up to get my car to park it. And I jokingly said, someone didn't jump, did they? And he looked at me like a ghost. And he said, yeah, they did, just about an hour ago. And I was like, it like broke my mind because I go, are you serious? Like, someone actually jumped from this building? He was like, yes, and I found out who it was later. And I later found out that this person was worth about a half a billion dollars, was a well known business person in Los Angeles, had all the biggest relationships with celebrities and politicians and had all the success and the accolades, had all the money and yet he didn't have inner peace. And for me that's really sad. It's really sad when someone's driven to accomplish and achieve more, but they don't know how to achieve more within them and they hurt themselves that much. And I don't want this to be you. I don't want you to put up vision boards of making millions of dollars and having fancy watches and cars and vacations without creating inner peace within you first. I don't want you constantly visualizing accomplishing your goals if you're not feeling good with you first. I want you to have everything you want. I want you to go after every goal, every dream. Make all the money you want in the world, but do it from a place of inner peace. Do it from a place of loving and accepting yourself. Do it from a place of knowing you are worthy and loved for where you're at and how you're becoming more to add value to the world.
