If you desire to manifest something in your life you have to stop the 'leaks'.

Leaks are things in our lives that draw our conscious energies away from our goals, wasting our potential to manifest and distracting us from our deeper purpose.

Consciousness is an incredible thing--it gives us the ability to literally create our own reality. Those things we set our mind to, whether intentionally or unintentionally, become realized in the world around us.

I'm sure you have things you're working toward in life. For me, I'm trying to build creative experiences that touch hundreds of thousands of people in a deeply transformative way. It's something I spend a lot of time thinking about and meditating on.

But today I was out for a run alongside a main road and found myself noticing cars. One in particular caught my eye--a Landcruiser...or something similar--and I noticed how for a split second my mind pictured me owning that car, driving it around, climbing into it to drive somewhere.

I was unintentionally manifesting a new car.

My conscious energy started leaking, manifesting a new Landcruiser-driving reality.

Now, copping a new vehicle is not a bad thing. I honestly love getting new cars. But it's not the thing I want to be spending my reality-shaping, conscious energy on right now.

That whole car episode lasted only a second (amazing how fast the mind works), but the truth is that we're unintentionally leaking conscious energy a thousand times a day in situations just like this--on social media, watching tv, talking to friends, or in my case, just walking down the street!

The trick is to begin identifying these leakages and 'stopping' them as quickly as possible. Your goal should be maximizing the amount of conscious, intentional energy that is directed at whatever your current life goal is.

And by the way, those goals can be whatever--it doesn't have to be anything cosmic. If your current life goal is to buy a car, GREAT! Then make it happen. That's a great life goal. Maybe your life goal is a relationship, or a job, or something creative--whatever it is, it's your journey right now, and I hope you find your way to it🫶

Earlier this month I was fortunate to fly out to Pennsylvania to record a conversation with Keven Martinez on The Middleman Podcast--would love for you to watch or listen!

We touched on a number of topics including spirituality, creativity, balanced living, and relationships. It was honestly a very enjoyable conversation (Keven is a great conversationalist), and I hope I get the opportunity to hop onto more podcasts like this in the future!

Love you 🫶
