I can imagine many people being somewhat puzzled by the title of today's article 'Stop crossing bridges'. Some may be saying to themselves right now, what is Reilly alluding to here today when he tells us to 'Stop Crossing Bridges'. Surely the only way to get to the other side is by crossing the bridge? Well that's true, that is of course if you're actually at the bridge. I'm sure we've all heard that well known saying "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it"....perhaps now you're beginning to get the gist of what I'm really writing about here today.
So many people start to mentally torture themselves day in and day out, by mentally contemplating, thinking about all of the things which could go wrong, as they commence an important project. Now, whilst it's most prudent to be proactive and thus always have a 'Plan B' ready and in place, so to speak, to deal with any eventuality; if we constantly insist on dwelling on everything wrong that may happen in the future, we will cloud our consciousness with negativity....this is obviously not good.
We should never lose sight of a most important Universal Law, namely The Law of Attraction. This Universal Law states quite simply, that 'We ATTRACT towards us people, circumstances, and events in accordance with our THINKING'. So, we have to be extremely careful at all times of exactly what we're thinking about. So, stop thinking about what may go wrong, 'Stop Crossing Bridges' which only exist in your imagination.
Yes indeed, the thoughts conveyed by the saying "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it" are indeed very wise sentiments to consider. We MUST stop putting up 'Mental Blocks' on the road to success, which will quite definitely impede our forward motion toward our cherished dreams. We MUST stop crossing imaginary bridges, which don't in reality exist right now, they're just a figment of our very active imagination.
Yes we are proactive, we formulate solutions to future problems we may encounter, in our mind. But then we forget about it, become totally positive in outlook, and forge steadily forward in the direction of our dreams, whilst we take care to only entertain in our fertile mind, Totally Positive Thoughts and Concepts of our Future Success. This is the only way to a bright future. Yes indeed it most certainly is! So, in conclusion, stop crossing bridges until you actually come to them.
THINK ABOUT IT!

Your Higher Self
Your Higher Self is the aspect of your consciousness closest to Source - the fully realized eternal being that you are.
It exists beyond space and time and the confines of third dimensional reality, and is the overseer of your multi selves - past, present and future, conscious and subconscious.

Your Higher Self knows you inside out and loves you unconditionally. Its vast, all-encompassing perspectives will gift your life immeasurably and pierce the veils and limits of your personal beliefs and programs, bringing truth and light to even the darkest of arenas.

How To Get Where You Want To Go
Here is an article that perhaps you have read at some point in your walk through life. However it never hurts to go back over the basics from time to time.
How to Get Where You Want to Go
by Barry Goss
Here’s some incredibly useful, easy-to-implement-now guidance, from a true genius of the mind and super-achiever, Roy H Williams
It’s called the 7 Step Secret To Success and it has my commentary interspersed throughout the steps.
Enjoy its power…
STEP #1: See your destination in your mind.“When you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.”–White Rabbit
[ Barry’s Comment ]: Roy’s first step is all about understanding what you’re doing, and why you’re doing it. Said another way, in two words, “visual intention“, which is the art and practice of emotionalizing the outcome or experience you desire ahead of time… through your 5 senses.
STEP #2: Start Walking.“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” –Lao Tzu (604 BC - 531 BC)
[ Barry’s Comment ]: Ever met a successful achiever who doesn’t connect with people, immerse him/herself into research, study, ask questions, explore areas of interests and engage life? Yeah, me neither. Enough said on this step.
STEP #3: Think Ahead As You Walk.“It’s like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” –E.L. Doctorow
[ Barry’s Comment ]: If you are just taking action toward something, and NOT thinking about it, planning it out, committing to it and believing it can be so, then you might as well be spinning in circles.
The Action Jacksons of the world make one very overlooked mistake: they put so much focus on doing something — anything — that they can’t find the quiet inner awareness to actually think about if what they originally wanted is what they still want… and why they want it.
STEP #4: Don’t Quit Walking.“Don’t wait. Where do you expect to get by waiting? Doing is what teaches you. Doing is what leads to inspiration. Doing is what generates ideas. Nothing else, and nothing less.” –Daniel Quinn
[ Barry’s Comment ]: Some people might interpret step #4 to be in contradiction with what I said about taking a breather above. But, not so. Preparation before action is essential and this is what gets you ready to take the effective (and right) actions that actually help you get what you want; however, it doesn’t mean to just STOP doing things.
What Roy is saying is Step #4 is essentially: keep on keeping on, bucko. Nobody ever would look at ya cross-eyed for not accomplishing your goal, task, or desire after only one walk (action). It’s all about persistence, and I once heard Terri Levine, one of our upcoming LWL Simulcast Teachers, tell some students this: “Failure is the path of least persistence.”
STEP #5: Make No Deadlines.“Patience is the best remedy for every trouble.” –Titus Maccius Plautus (254 BC - 184 BC)“I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.” –Margaret Thatcher, April 4, 1989
[ Barry’s Comment ]: What does this mean? How can you be a tried-and-true goal-setter, dream-achiever, and maestro of manifestation without some milestones to hit or some dates on the calendar to strive for?
Well, I still struggle with this one. Ya know, I gotta little miffed that LWL Coaching wasn’t ready on our March 18th target date then, after a few weeks beyond the due date, it dawned on me that going with the flow of our business, and being in harmony with serving our readers and listeners, is what really matters.
Sure, our Life Without Limits Coaching Program will be ready this year and, now that we’re in the flow with other projects, I’m 100% confident that other resources, people, and features will come along to help make it even more valuable. So, cheers to Roy for telling us to take it easy on ourselves every now and then.
STEP #6: Look back at the progress you made each day.“God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning – the sixth day.” –Genesis 1:31
[ Barry’s Comment ]: A little reflective atta-girl or atta-boy self-talk does the soul good
In all seriousness, this is something that I’ll venture to guess 90% of the people reading this post do NOT do (I’m guilty too sometimes). It’s a key component to super-achiever’s results. Assess and reward yourself for a day’s effort. How could it be that you can ever know what tweaks and modifications you need to implement if you first don’t know how far down the road you’ve come? I know for a fact that self-made millionaire, Jill Koenig, talks to Heather about this in her interview.
STEP #7: If evening finds you at the same place you were this morning, take a step before you lay down. “The magic isn’t in the size of your actions, but in the relentlessness of them. It is better to burn the candle at both ends, and in the middle, too, than to put it away in the closet and let the mice eat it.” –Henry Van Dyke
Never let a day pass without making, at the very least, a tiny bit of progress. Do NOT tell yourself you’ll make up for it tomorrow. (That seductive lie is the kiss of death.) Make a phone call. Lick a stamp. Correct a misspelled word. Something. Anything.
You realize I’m talking about business, not hiking, right?
[ Barry’s Comment ]: Yes, why, yes we do, Roy… and we totally dig your enthusiasm, and cut-to-the-chase steps for success. They’re brilliant, and if there’s anything that I do get queasy over consistently, it’s this: not accomplishing accomplishment on a daily basis.
John Milton Fogg introduced the concept to me over 10 years ago, and it’s something that, to me, if we all strived to do, the world would be in a better place for the effort.
Here are the three ingredients that must be present to accomplish accomplishment and in ( ) the resulting feeling / experience if one of them is missing:
Ingredient #1) You Get Results (i.e., no income / no satisfaction)
Ingredient #2) You Learn, Grow, and Develop (i.e., you get left behind)
Ingredient #3) You Have Fun (i.e., you burn out)
How many of us have been in a situation where we were getting results, we learned something new, but didn’t have any fun?
Or, maybe we know people who learn, grow and attempt to develop their butt off … but aren’t getting results. That could either be the business person not “increasing sales” or the monastery monk who isn’t engaging in modern-day life.
A second common mistake is to get these steps out of order. If you skip Step 1, “See your destination,” and go straight to step 2, “Start walking,” you’ll be a wanderer, a drifter on the ocean of life, sadly on your way to lying beneath a tombstone that says, “He Had Potential.”
Even more dangerous is to go from Step 1, “See your destination,” directly to Step 3, “Think ahead,” without ever doing Step 2, “Start walking.” These are the people who never get started. Analysis paralysis. Lots of anxiety and plans and meetings and revisions and studies and evaluation and research can make you think you’re getting somewhere when you’re not.
Gen. George S. Patton said it best, “A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.” In other words, there is no perfect plan. Shut up and get started.
Visitors to Tuscan Hall will recall a beautiful stairway that leads into a wall, then does a 180 halfway up to finish in exactly the opposite direction. At the top of those stairs a magnificent catwalk runs the entire length of the building to a gallery of fine art overlooking the floor below.
This is the Journey of Life.
If you find yourself headed in the wrong direction, you can always correct your way.
But only if you know your destination.

Manifesting Naturally - In 2 Easy Steps (Cont.)
Manifesting is not about proving to yourself that you are a creator. There is no need to prove something that you already are. Manifesting your desires is natural, as natural as breathing. Desire you breath out, Creation you breath in. Your first moment was enjoying your creation of embodiment, your first breath in. Intent is the focus of vibration or thought to create anything you want in Life. Intent is desire in pure form. 1. Focus your intent, breath out. 2. Creation, breathe in and enjoy your manifested desire. Example: your body desires oxygen, so you breath out to make room for the oxygen, Then you breath in, and your body enjoys the experience of the new oxygen and when it wants more new oxygen you simply breath out to make room for more expecting that again your desire will be fulfilled. If your body doubted for one second that there was a lack of oxygen would you breath what you have out? No.You hold your breath until you can get more. But eventually you are going to have to let go of what you have to get more, or you die. Breathing happens naturally. It is nothing you need to force or understand; it just simply is. Breathing happens whether you breathe in air or energy. It is natural. Transformation need not take years or digging for clues in the subconscious for past karma or blockages or unknown barriers. Set your intent to be that of what you desire, knowing that you have always been whole and complete! Remove from your mind the concept of linear earthly time. Be timeless and you will know that all is known and all is perfect. Breathe in, expand Your Universe. Breathe out, expand The Universe.

Manifesting Naturally - In 2 Easy Steps
Manifesting Naturally - In 2 Easy Steps
Manifesting your desires is a very natural process that can get very complicated very quickly if you force the process. Being attached to a certain outcome is one of the quickest roads to disappointment. You must be open to the possibility that there is a greater intelligence in you that will create circumstances to help you better learn how to use your power of manifestation and in getting clear with your intent. When one is focused upon material gain as an end in itself, the outcome is constricted by the foundation of fear upon which scarcity is based. When one is focused upon selfless service to the higher good of All Life, without fear for one's own well-being, the highest result is manifested for all. You do not need to be any less prosperous in making such a shift. For the key to sustaining the manifestation of abundance, under conditions where the idea of personal prosperity is irrelevant, is the subtle shift in where one chooses to focus one's intent. People who choose to dedicate their lives to humanity or through restoring the harmony of the environment are not required to choose poverty as a demonstration of that selflessness. Circumstances will manifest quite naturally that would ensure the physical comforts of those in question when one is aligned with one's own highest purpose. When you are living your highest purpose and experiencing life in all of it's wonders and abundance you automatically give others the confidence and permission to do the same, which is the greatest result for all. You are not here as a statement of separation from life, but as a materialized statement of unification with it.

Think BIG - Dream BIGGER
Think BIG - Dream BIGGER to Manifest Your LifeThere is the story of the kindergarten teacher who asks a child what she is drawing. "I'm drawing a picture of God," the child replies. "But, sweetheart," says the teacher, "no one knows what God looks like." They will in a minute!" says the child. Now, that is a perfect example of Thinking BIG !! Big Thinkers possess this childlike faith. Not a childish faith that lacks maturity and understanding, but an attitude of deep faith in themselves. If you are a big thinker, you have an inner voice that asks "why not" and "what if" and you're in tune with your own skills, talents, and abilities to SEE the unseen or create the uncreatable. Here's another example of a Big Thinker: The Italian sculptor Agostino d'Antonio worked diligently on a large piece of marble. Unable to produce his desired masterpiece, he lamented, "I can do nothing with it." Other sculptors also worked this difficult piece of marble, but to no avail. Michelangelo discovered the stone and visualized the possibilities in it. His "I-can-make-it-happen" attitude resulted in one of the world's masterpieces - the statue of David. Yes, sometimes, all it takes is to have unstoppable belief and high-faith in your own creative talents to turn your imagination into reality. But, if thinking big is all it takes, by now, wouldn't we already have a world full of people steadfastly achieving their goals and bringing major accomplishments into their life? Let's look at an example of a Big Dreamer first; then maybe I can shed some more light on the question above. There is the story of Ray Kinsella (played by Kevin Costner) who hears an ethereal message ("If you build it, they / He will come") that inspires him to construct a baseball diamond in the middle of his Iowa cornfield - with the promise that the ghosts of famous baseball players will inhabit it for games at night. Ray heard his inner voice (let's just say his connection to source or his higher-self), believed in the possibilities (however far beyond obvious), talked about it with intention, clarity, and passion. He took action on his inner promptings, regardless of how nonsensical they seemed at the time. One of the manifesting mentors I interviewed basically told me everything in the world is suggestion - just one step away from a dream. Life is indeed a dream and the producers of Field of Dreams make this point during a scene where Ray's father (John) asked: "Is this heaven?" Ray Kinsella: No - it's Iowa.John: I could have sworn it was heaven. Ray: Is there a heaven? John: Oh, yeah. It's the place where dreams come true. (Ray looks around, seeing his wife playing with their daughter on the porch.) Ray: Maybe this is heaven. Yes, Big Dreamers - just like Big Thinkers - find it easy to believe that all things are possible, and that life can be as passionate, pure and invigorating as fresh-cut outfield grass. However, oftentimes, this is where to two similarities end. For instance, to me, the movie Field of Dreams isn't so much a story of a possibility-thinking farmer, searching for boyish excitement in his life, as much as it is a story about TRUST and the power of VISION mixed into the manifesting process. A bonafide Big Dreamer is somebody who is what I like to call a Vivid Visionary. Just like Ray, they have a personally compelling belief in the "inner voice" that prompts them along to take the little steps that eventually lead to bigger steps, unleashing the power of manifestation in their life. And that power basically says: whatever it is you think constantly about, feel good about when talking about it, or become immersed in with unwavering emotion and focus, will become evident for you - not only to your own senses but to those around you who were involved while you took that first small step. Sure, we all know the movie was fiction - a fantasy film, based on W. P. Kinsella's 1982 novel "Shoeless Joe" - however, when you watch the progression of Kevin Costner's character (Ray), from the first few dismissals' of his inner voice to his KNOWING that he was personally responsible for turning his vision into reality, you get to see a Vivid Visionary in the making. My friend Dr. Michael Norwood, defines vision like this: "A Vision has many components. It may start off as a goal, a mission or even a dream. However, whereas the goal, mission and dream describe something one accomplishes, a Vision is something one becomes." The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman: "How have you done so much in your lifetime?" He replied, "I have dreamed. I have turned my mind loose to imagine what I wanted to do. Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams. In the night I dreamt about my dreams and turned then into my Vision. And when I awoke in the morning, I envisioned my day - I knew what action that I needed to employ to help me pull in the resources and people to support my Vision and make it a reality." Personal Accountability Check - How many of you reading this truly spend at least 15-minutes a night imagining what you want in your mind, energizing it with feeling (i.e., putting yourself in the picture versus looking at the picture screen from the auditorium), and then affirming it mentally when you wake up? Come on - be honest ! One of the Manifesting Mentors I interviewed told me emphatically: "Just 15 minutes of creative visualization a day can change you life in unimaginable ways. It's just that most people don't believe in their own imagination".Read that twice. Three times, if you want to. There's incredible wisdom and stinging truth in that statement. More so than just personal confidence, big picture thinking, or being an idea-driven person, being a Big Dreamer is all about taking your wants to sleep, thinking constantly about them, talking about them, planning them with focus, and adding all the spices to your dreams that will give you the realization of actually manifesting your dreams - bigger, better, and faster than ever. The ability to image, and the ability to expect what we dream about to come true, are two of the finest qualities of being a human being. Together, with belief in our own reality-creating power, we can truly be a Vivid Visionary. As Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the U.S., said: "We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers." So, dream on - but, add some ACTION (without it, you're just a Big Thinker), sprinkle in some FOCUS (think about your dreams / desires enough to bring them into consistent awareness), and top them off with TRUST (that you will, without question, always get exactly what you ask for). You truly are the one who STARTS it all - from day dream, to night dream, to living out your dream - regardless of how outside of you it may SEEM! I'll leave you with one final quote / scene from Field of Dreams. [ On wondering who the voice was - telling him "If You Build It, He / They Will Come" ] Ray Kinsella: What are you grinning at, you ghost? Shoeless Joe: "If you build it -" (gestures toward catcher, who is Ray's father, John Kinsella) "- he will come." Ray : It was you? Shoeless Joe: No, Ray. It was you.
