Step Into Your Life Purpose | Lisa Nichols

wealth, right? and it's time we disrupt the definition of abundance. They are able to really think about abundance. Just know that it is a holistic experience and that abundance includes relationships. abundance includes

your

spirituality abundance includes

your

health abundance is not just about the bottom line of the bank account, can you help me with that? Can we agree? If there's anyone on the planet that could change the definition of abundance, it would be us, yeah, so I'm watching, I want you to be a part of this, but you'll see me freaking out everywhere. Wait before we talk about abundance, let's redefine it as what it really is, because I have a lot of very rich friends, millionaires and billionaires who are very close to me and they are not close to me to learn how to make money, they can teach me that they are close to me because they love how I have fun, they love how my my son still hangs out with me in the interview he saw me last night on the corner talking on the phone but they booed me talking to my honey.

I was talking to my 21 year old son and he said, Hey mom, I just want to hang out with you for a little bit, can you, can you, just hang out with me? I absolutely thought food can be chilled right abundance is about having that holistic edge of success yeah so today I'm going to show you some really cool points that I'm really excited about and then for some of you just a handful and when I was invited to a full eight-week live course, the first time I taught an eight-week live course in five years on abundance and understanding an abundant

life

. and designing an abundant

life

in real time, not just listening to a video, but in real time with me live, so I want to start with that, so point number one, I want to do it, you want to write this point number one and some of this .

I already know, but the repetition is the mother, the father, the sister, the brother, they are not uncle and cousin of learning, yes, they are your super achievers. I'm a super achiever, so one thing we need to constantly remind ourselves is to create micro wins to get to our macro wins. that we go after the macro victory but we only look at the macro victory. I want you to look at the micro wins and get 5 micro wins under your belt so you can build your macro that way you celebrate yourself a lot more often yeah yeah that way you can have an indicator that you're on the right track more often, so that way your fuel is recognized more often, that way you know you are on the right path, let's get to the micro wins, micro wins, micro wins can lead to a macro win, can we agree that that is on a button and I'm showing you how abundant thinkers think, so if you want to meet your model, successful people when I was on The Oprah Winfrey Show, honor one of the commercial breaks, she said, so Lisa, how?

How many coaches do you have? She didn't ask me if she had a coach. She said how many coaches you have. I told him two in the next commercial break. What do you think I did? I asked him how many coaches you have. She said four when. I left the program, what do you think I did right? I hired to work in offices, so success leaves clues. I will give you some of the clues and the people who live abundant life. Now you just let this be a confirmation salvo. and then because everyone else is moving in that direction and more in that direction, these are the things that abundant thinking people do all day, every day, one we create microwinds so we can get to macrowinds and we celebrate the microwinds with many more celebrations. in life number two we fail but we always fall forward we see that people are going to fail abundant thinkers self right we fail forward we fail and we wonder what lesson I learned and what I will do differently next time bring it, bring it in I'm fine some of my best lessons They came wrapped in sandpaper They came wrapped in expensive lessons They came wrapped with a hot credit card that I have to pay for it They came wrapped with a lawyer I had to hire They came wrapped with Tears on my pillow when I got the lesson.

You better know that I didn't have to receive it again. If some. You are using your lesson as baggage, use your lesson as shackles and your lesson is your fuel to do it differently next time. time, so many thinkers, we fail, we just fail every time, abundant thinkers, we are not only responsible, write this number three, we are not only responsible for our actions, we are not only responsible for our thoughts, abundant thinkers, we go one

step

further. and we are responsible for our reaction ooh, that's juicy, yeah, someone is going to chew that on the plane on the way home, like reactions, right, abundant thinkers, not only do we take responsibility for our thoughts, we take responsibility for the response of our actions, for which we take responsibility. our reactions before we do it doesn't mean we react and apologize it means we never do those things we have to apologize for yes yes we don't blame it that's how I've always been that's how it is, oh, grow your genius you're brilliant, so, eight abundant thinkers.

I'm just giving you some Nuggets. There are many other things that I will share with you next time, but I tell you that these are practices of abundant thinkers. Christie spoke about claims from abundant thinkers. understand the power of I am anything after the word I am is true to your unconscious mind Michael anything after I am anything after I am even if you know it's not true your conscious mind will believe it anything after I am So the use of affirmations is very intentional and very consistent. I was diagnosed as clinically depressed and from 2001 to 1998.

Sorry, I was diagnosed as clinically depressed. It did not make sense. I have been in a relationship. I was engaged to be married and my fiancée. who I didn't know at the time was bipolar and stopped taking his meds and under the belief system that love can cure anything, I ended up being picked up and thrown three feet across the room and ended up choking until I passed. I got out and once I got out of that relationship it was just different, it was different, so my mom insisted that I go to the doctor. I went to the doctor and I sat at the table and she checked me and talked to me and came back with a prescription and she said ELISA you're clinically depressed and I felt like I heard Charlie Brown's parents talk like I want I want I want I want I'm clinically depressed to the less that doesn't make sense in that same sentence and they gave me a prescription and I read the description and it had my name and it said Prozac.

I thought that made sense Lisa Nichols bro, that doesn't make sense and I said, You mean I'm sad? She said very, very sad. I said: Can I try something? and no I'm not recommending them guys, if it's a medicine, stop taking medicine, please don't do that. I asked my doctor, she agreed. I said, would you mind if I try something before I take this? She said yes. but I need to see you again in 30 days if you are in the same condition I need us to try this medicine I said okay I could do it so I went home and every day I looked in the mirror and drilled myself.

I'm every day because I realized I had forgotten who I was I just forgot and it was okay to forget I just forgot so every day every day for 25 minutes I just checked the IMS every day I'm I'm I'm and I love that So I forgive you, so I compare what I commit to you Lisa every day. I came back in 30 days and I'm talking to her and I'm on fire. She just looks at me. I'm just talking. I twisted it. head again and I'm just talking talking she says wait I have to stop you I said what's she going what are you taking and I can have some I was like I'm taking a little bit of me and then the power of I'm the power of I and I can take you out through the darkest moment the power of I am and that's why I want you to really begin it's not nonsense it's not soft it's real and it's the truth abundant thinkers what else do abundant liquors abundant thinkers continue to stay cognitive dissonance they continue to put themselves in cognitive dissonance let me explain to you what that cognitive business is like the kind of discomfort you get when you think about yourself in a way that doesn't match your current behavior mmm like Someone came, that's worth the price of admission just to do it, then, that's juicy.

I must say it again. Some of you like, okay, I don't even know how to spell cognitive dissonance, so just cognitive dissonance, your creative speller, whatever you want, cognitive dissonance. is the form of mind tampering in which you literally disturb your own mind by thinking about yourself in a way that doesn't match your current behavior. It is beyond your current behavior. Your mind will feel uncomfortable because it doesn't match, so your mind will start calling you to do whatever your mental chatter matches your behavior whoo whoo that's a good thing that right there is someone's game changer yes yes yes yes y'all they are so cute I still see some of their faces like hmm retro Scooby-Doo just study it just study it when the book comes out study it I give you exercises to do don't worry about that there are a lot of thinkers we constantly put ourselves in cognitive dissonance constantly we constantly put ourselves in and and cognitive dissonance I have an infomercial coming out next year, it's the first personal development infomercial to come out since Tony Robbins, what can you say about cognitive dissonance at its highest level?

Because that comes with a big problem, but if I don't do it, if I have it, I have a scare someone we might also get nervous looking for the best version of ourselves yeah, so how are you going to do it? I'm going to start challenging you, how will you be the man, the woman you've always known you are? I'm going to get back to the points, but now I want to touch your soul because it's great to think, these are great notes, it's a nice notebook, but there's a calling on your life that you can't shake and it's yours alone, no one else has the same calling. .

How you compare yourself to me is of no use comparison is and always will be the thief of all joy someone might want to write that comparison is and will always be the thief of all joy you will never do it to me when people say Oh my God, you are like the Next Oprah, I said and I told Oprah's producers. They called me recently on the plane, while I was sitting on the plane coming here to a festival, they called it again and then. We just Lisa, we just love you, we just wanted to work with you and I said, as long as you don't try to make me the next Oprah because I will fail you 100% every time if you want Oprah, but if you're ever interested.

I'm doing great, Lisa Nichols. I got him to have his own luck. I know Lisa, so when you start looking at people, she looks at someone as a model of who you can be by taking a part of who, they're adding to the uniqueness. of who you are and then understand it what is the divine assignment in your life what do you need to do more of who do you need to be more of what do you need to dislodge from your behavior look where is the infopreneur we love information but what do you need to let go of this that no longer serves you look when I look at the things I used to be I look at procrastination I look scared I look at being worried I look at doubt I look at my edge is that I have I have always been a rebel I will always be a rebel I thought they would learn to use my powers for good.

Yes, that wasn't always the case. There was a point where you could be there, so let me know if there's a point where everything. what you have been and every person, every characteristic that you have been that doesn't serve you, you need to confront it and you need to say thank you for getting me to this point, but in order to get there, I have to to leave you here you won't fit in doubt you won't fit in worry you won't fit in be afraid of being seen you won't fit in come on someone you didn't forget how to say yes yes or we have selective amnesia very quickly like all those things that are afraid to surpass your attempt, anyone sees that it was mine, look because I was wearing a badge of honor.

I love where I come from. I don't apologize for where I come from and they are loud. Pause like I didn't need to use it and went through a door with it, but I also don't want to hide it, but something happened when I had a big hit. I was almost ashamed of my success because it seemed to make me so different. It was so different from Inglewood It was so different from my cousin It was so different from other women of color It was so different from anyone of any color in the struggle and that for a long time that was my connection that I had not built another connection, but someone knows what I'm talking about and suddenly I start silently sabotaging myself now it's not obvious sabotage.

I'm still running, I'm just like walking on the moon. I look like I'm in motion. I'm just not as mobile as I used to be. I remember the year I made nine hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars in October and threatened to pass a million dollars in a year. I took the rest of the year off. I said I'm tired, you know, we have sexy excuses and then the next year I hit nine hundred and eighty-five thousand in August and I was faced with you're going to take you againthe rest of the year on sick leave and I had to realize that I was afraid to leave. someone behind, come on, I just want to tell the truth and I see the handkerchief, I see the tears, I just arrived, I stopped by to serve you your truth and someone has to love us enough to give us.

The truth is, even if it's mild to moderate to significantly uncomfortable, I remember and she's in the room, someone told me the other night when I did the in sweet because I do this sweet little thing where I train and we have a great time training . I'll do it again tonight and she said, don't you feel like you're free? Don't you feel guilty about leaving your community? and I said no, not at all because I can't do them any good by fighting with them. But if I leave and become Someone, the woman I have always known I am, then I have something to come back and offer.

Can you help me get off the stage? I learned that I love being a lady. I know I can, I know I can do it myself, but why? Alright. Thank you to all the women who don't know about it, you understand it when you reach 40, so I want to be closer to you. I'm going to put some pressure on them about who they're willing to become at the risk of being seen. Are you willing to take the risk of having great success? What are you willing to say at the risk of being heard by everyone? What are you willing to say at the risk of people following you?

What are you willing to let go at risk? to get something bigger, look, it's not in all the information you get, it's in what you're willing to do with the little nuggets, if you only did half of what you've learned, you only have to do it if you were willing to stop half as tall as who you know you are if you are willing if you are willing whose life would you trade because when you get there your journey has less to do with you than it does with everyone who will be blessed enough to If you cross the path then you are willing to do what you don't want to say, to say what you don't want to say, so you can hurry up and be the person you've always known you are when you know how to do it. operate with a sense of importance, in fact, a little urgency to say wait a minute, someone will cross my path today and when I let my light shine, the lumen of my life illuminates its dark corner and for a brief moment, Anthony, come a little more. of themselves for a brief moment they can see that wing and they say it was my wing oh that's their wing and when you leave and they can still see it they realize that it was theirs because you let your light shine you were generous enough as to receive it.

Get out of your damn way, you were willing enough to give up to kill your ego, to kill your shego, that's ours, you know, we have our own right, you were willing, I'm coming back guys, so you might have to turn a little, but I. I'm behind when you look at someone and I'm not saying I've gotten anywhere but I love where on the journey I'm at now when you look at someone you've chosen to admire ask me what in the dead of the night they asked me what I was willing to do let go in order to be born in this way ask me what jacket what victimhood cost what fabric of fear I was willing to take off ask me what it was I am willing to go and study that abundance that I lived and breathed until I used it so much that it was no longer in my head or in my heart, but it got into my DNA, come on guys, when I bleed it comes out, that's what you want to know and then how.

Can I reinvent myself in such a radical way that it could disrupt my entire community? See some of you are more committed to keeping the company you keep there, you must be the person you were designed to be. I'm just saying someone might say oh right I see you're outside she says oh no I'm not even going to walk there right now I'm just going to stay here I know I have to hit you with that look we're so committed to our tribe that we forget that it is seasonal, it is seasonal and some people were brought into our lives to show us who we could become and then our relationship will change forever and because we are trying to make time for everyone to live, we continue to hold back and we look like we're about to launch into a game of double dutch I'm almost there I'm almost there wait, wait, let the kids graduate from high school, but the kids are too high, wait, let me get my money together, wait, let me. lose this extra weight, do you know that if I waited I would lose the extra weight before I could stand you?

Lisa Nichols would be the damn secret, everyone will understand, yeah, how about we do it while we get better at it, how about we do it? about your 80% is 159 percent of what I need now what if I need you to be wrong in my life? What if your perfection is more about you than it ever was about me? fall in front of me because I'm not looking at you when you fail I'm looking at you and how you get up clap I need someone to model how to get up what if your perfection isn't what I was ever looking for?

I was watching you stand and shine and be within such an obvious imperfection, that's my inspiration, huh, when I see you perfect, we're not compatible, we're not compatible, when I see you perfect, last night I continued. I'm going crazy because I know I can't even go anywhere. I'll tell you the real story, so she let you know that she had mile dresses and all these experts and I was like, well, I'll tell her my disaster. I don't know about them, but you know because the 56 million people watching her are not secret masters, so they need to hear about a woman, they need to hear about someone who has doubts.

I'll tell you that, so I'm scared. Out because Norma already tells the truth that way and I don't know what that means and I've never told my mess in front of 56 million people before you know I can make five hundred six hundred five six thousand but fifty six million flying, damn it . right, so I'm nervous and I'm packing for the trip last night and I'm listening to Kurt Franklin, a gospel artist, he and because he talks about being, you know, imperfect, I agree, I'm China. and I'm going crazy and at 4:00 a.m. I call a friend of mine and I'm crying.

I told him I'm scared. I have the biggest opportunity of my life tomorrow and I'm scared. I'm afraid. that they are going to know that I am afraid I am afraid that they are going to know that I was wrong so many times I am afraid that they will know all my imperfections I am just afraid he said let me pray for you I said well and it's just what he said next changed everything God says , thank you for using your most imperfect child to help your most imperfect children oh oh oh I'm perfect for the job and I promise you you just changed and I've been standing since 2007 now so I just stopped by to move your soul.

I stopped by to interrupt any form of complacency you may have in mediocracy. I stopped by here so as not to let you free of your greatness. I stopped by to remind you that your 70 percent. It may seem like a hundred and fifty-nine percent to someone else, but it's still your 70 percent. I went on to tell you that it is in your imperfection that you are perfect. I went on to say that your gifts were never about you and I went through you. to remind you and every time I see you I will remind you that I need you more than you need yourself, that when you cross my path and I see you you keep working on it and I see you keep coming back, you put oxygen in my chest so I need you you keep showing up it seems like it's for you but it's just for me and a million other people coming up behind me looking at you I stopped to ask you if you're willing to live an abundant life at the risk of having it all. abundant you are willing you are willing you are willing to live abundantly your non-negotiable automatic stop in anything anything that is incongruent with that has to be dislodged you are willing to alter your norm you are willing to walk forward alone Some of you desire both company and You must realize that before you can be good company for me, you must learn to be good company for yourselves, so if you walk alone for a while, you will do so and share your vision. with someone and they won't understand it they just won't understand it they won't understand it they won't understand it and they won't understand it for a reason and someone came here just to hear this message they won't understand it Get your vision because God didn't give your vision to them, your vision It was given to you and it is your job to nurture it, feed it, be good to it, bring it to light so that we can then see it, but until you bring it to light.

We can't see it so please don't ask me how beautiful it is I can't see what's in you that's like I'm pretty say my baby pretty eh I don't know I could be ugly I don't know so I just stopped by to make you some questions about the tons of content I can give you, but you're getting a lot of content. I want to make sure it lands on tilled soil. I want to make sure you shook it up a little. I want to make you uncomfortable, is it working? I want to do that because it's not always in your comfortable raw raw, let's all be although look, I was sitting on that couch in 1995 and I didn't say I wanted to be amazing, that didn't come.

The first thing that came out was that this is not who I am, I am more than this and I want my dad to dance while I'm here and I don't want to see the end of my days, instead I kept some in me. I don't want to get there my days and I said I was standing in line waiting for the right moment, so sometimes your biggest jump comes from being fed up with something, your biggest jump comes from finishing something, your biggest jump comes in a complete combination and I'm ready I'm complete with it and I'm ready for it look when I was ready for an abundant life numbers didn't scare me money didn't scare me going to conferences alone didn't scare me working all night didn't scare me being alone didn't scare me nothing scared me because I was ready I said yes and everything that came with it are you willing to say yes to that to whatever I wanted because the reality is? someone is watching you someone is watching you he has been waiting for me thank you fading thank you someone is watching you and when you win they win when you win they win some 14 year old girls some 20 year old boys some some ten year old boy are looking at you and when you win a three-year-old child wins when they win a stranger wins a neighbor when they win when I understand that my wind not only belongs to me when I win she wins when I win he wins so on The days you don't want to do it for yourself, do it for we.
