be ready to take action


There will be times when you will need to jump into action without warning.

An idea will come to you and it will feel right.

Most people will sit on it telling their Self they’ll do it later.
Most people will think of all the reasons it won’t work.
Most people will never take action.

In The Creative Act, Rick Rubin explains that ideas will move on to someone else if action is not taken—this is why you see someone having success with an idea you had. The idea came to you, you weren’t ready to bring it to life, and it moved on to someone else who was ready.

You need to always be ready to take action when an aligned idea comes to you.

Not every idea that comes to you needs your action. Some ideas are probably meant to move on from you and find someone more aligned with them.

How do you know if the idea is one to act on?

I wish I had a clear answer, but unfortunately it’s hard to explain.

You’ll feel it.
You’ll know.
You’ll become obsessed with it.

It’ll be all you can think about, and you’ll be able to envision how you want it to play out in the future. You will become emotionally attached to the idea of beginning the manifestation process—assuming you start to take action.

You might even receive signs from the Universe.

I experienced all of this in the last few days.

I’m not ready to share the idea, but I have been sprinkling it on social media to get some initial feedback from the world.

I know because of the feeling.
I know because of my obsession.
I know because I received confirmation from the Universe via bald eagles.

And I didn’t wait to take action.

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

“Your life’s goal should be to become the most improbable person you can be. Your path, your character, your life, should be the most unlikely, the most unexpected, the least predictable version you can make. Improbable lives have fewer competitors, more unique rewards, and are harder to replace with AIs, since AIs run on the predictable. This is true whether you favor traditional humanist directions or work on a frontier.” -Kevin Kelly Your improbable life is your Authentic Life. See you...

“Every moment is a fresh beginning.” -T.S. Eliot T.S. Eliot offers us some great news. No matter what just happened, you are now at a starting point for a fresh beginning. You don’t have to carry the past forward if it doesn't align with where you are going, who you want to become, or no longer serves you. Leave it. Start new. What would the future version of your Self do? Do that. We always have the opportunity to reinvent our Self and move closer to our Authentic Self, and it starts in this...
