In last week’s Weekly, I discussed with you the 4 Ys to success (achieving your desires). The 4 Ys are: yen, yes, yin and yang. (You may want to go back and read the article,  4 Ys). I also talked about the yes (the agreement). This week, I’d like to elaborate on the yes, and the agreement that is made between you and the desire. In last week’s Weekly, I gave an example of a desire: Mercedes, so let’s talk about in detail the sort of agreement you want to have with your new desire for a Mercedes.

Quoted from last week: The agreement, the yes. “When you have a sharp desire, and are awaiting to receive it, a “yes” must come from you; You must be in full agreement with that desire. When you express agreement to your desire you are giving yourself permission to drive that new Mercedes. In other words, you are giving yourself the consent to go forward with that desire, and to work hard at obtaining it. The reason why making an agreement with yourself is so important is that it is essential to tell yourself that it is okay to have something. A lot of people wish for things but do not allow themselves the freedom of it. That eventually leads to self-destructive behavior. Unless you “lock” yourself into an agreement for a desire, then you will always get in your own way. Ok, so now you are at the stage of yes, already having the desire (Mercedes), and now you have to work on the guts to stake everything on obtaining it ….”

What is a contract? Why is having a contract with yourself so important? What exactly does it mean to have a contract with yourself? How can you have a contract (make an agreement) with a desire?

A contract is an agreement between two or more parties- (in this case, between yourself and your desire)- for the doing or not doing of something specified. Everyone has desires, but not everyone receive in life what they truly want. Having a desire- and acting on it- are two different things. How can one obtain anything in life without the agreement of “going for it”? You must make an agreement with yourself that this is what you want, and this is what you are going to get.

Always remember that actions follow thought. The process of agreeing with it (your desire) puts energy towards it, which is the first step towards obtaining it. Once you have “locked” that thought of the desire (Mercedes) into your head, you will then begin to produce the amount of energy it takes to go about getting that desire.  To begin the process, you must make a deal with yourself to have No Negotiations.

Oftentimes, people make a lot of wishes. They dream and fantasize; they hope and pray. But, with all of that wishing, their desires never manifest. Why is that? Why does it take months, or even years before you come around to the question of, “Why have I not gotten what I want?”. Why are you still waiting on that dream of five-years-ago to come alive?   Well, I will tell you precisely why.

When you have a desire, that’s only what it is; A desire. A desire is basically empty; nothing by itself. There is something that must go along with the desire in order to make the desire real; obtainable; official. The reasons why your dreams do not manifest is because as soon as you have the desire you allow fear and doubt to creep in. For instance, instead of saying to yourself, “Wow, I can really have this!”, you say instead, “Well, where will I park it (Mercedes)? What if I don’t have enough money for it? What happens if I can’t pay for it? What if my friends think I’m a snob?”. Before you even allowed the desire to properly penetrate through your thought surface and into actual manifestation, you already flooded your personal space with negative thoughts.  Desires cannot dwell amongst negativity.

How do you begin to move your desires; bring them into your space? First you need to find a way to silence your saboteur, which is that negative voice within. Learn to silence your doubts. Learn to allow yourself to be happy. Learn to tell yourself that you deserve a treat. Learn to become extremely excited about your desires by writing them down and reviewing them constantly. Learn to speak of your desires in the present tense, and believe that they are already here.

This week, make it a goal to come to terms with yourself- for whatever sharp desire that you have.  Understand that in order to achieve your greatest desires, you must first be in agreement with them.  This week, I encourage you to write down your desires.  Coming to terms with your desires will be the greatest benefit to achieving your dreams.

Your Princess,
