Energys Promise and the Speed of Attitude

How do you capture extreme optimism and energy? Thats the discovery I made over the past few years of going through my own trials and tribulations: how to generate endless, exciting, life-engaging, positive Yes! Energy that flows from you to others and from them back to you again. Its a life force thats vital, dramatic, and thrilling.

And you have it. You have access to it right now. Once you know how to use it, youll never stop. You will know how to access it always.

The first place from which this life force comes is a core vibration of certainty and optimism. This core vibration, in turn, comes from a greater power. Its a calm, collected energy. Thats the thing, the gift I mentioned on the first page of this book. Its also so much more. Whenever Im in a tight spot where things dont feel rightwhen Im not being the best Loral I know I can beI take full responsibility. I look to God, and I ask for clarity and understanding. Then I look to myself and I say, Pay attention, Loral. Whats going on here?

Because I choose to live an inspired life, one sourced from Spirit, I know that there is a plan for me and everyone and everything. This gives me optimism and certainty. And because Im anchored in solution, because I know there is a way forward, I then take the optimism and certainty delivered from Spirit, and I turn to my team and do just that: I move forward. Next thing I know, Im in my Yes! Energy. My energy is conserved, yet Im moving full steam ahead. Im calm, Im at ease, Im hopeful. Neither negativity nor failure has a chance when Im truly in this state, when Im in the flow, sourcing energy and optimism.

Unfortunately, I do not do this all of the time. In fact, recently, I did not do it at all. I was in a situation where I moved away from living the core vibration; I was outside my own energy, losing my-self, compromising my values, attracting dark, bad energy. It was awful. Then, because (a) I went back to Spirit, (b) got the help of my team, and (c) remembered how to source my extreme optimism and energy, I found my soul again. Fortunately, Im back in good times after a terrible interlude.

Im sure youve had your fair share of obstacles. My goal here is to reveal an idea that will push you up and above and beyond those frustrations into a life of true freedom.

I did it. I grew up working on a farm, started my own businesses, worked my way through school, pushed my way into a dog-eat-dog field, built a brand and a global enterprise and then saw bits and pieces come crumbling down around me. After several ounces of introspection and a pound of action, I picked myself up, dusted myself off, and rebuilt everything into a life thats even better than before.

And so I know you can do it, too.

How? Well, its a little bit of strategy, with a whole lot of support, but the most important factor of all is energy management.

I am so sick of people talking about time management, Loral, said a woman at one of my seminars in Calgary, Canada. I cant stand it if one more person says that I need to find a way to better balance my schedule.

Youre right, I said. Its not time management; its energy management.

The others nodded. The room was in full agreement.

People can talk all they want about time management, but as anyone whos ever tried to fit 25 hours of life into a 24-hour day knows, thats a misguided pursuit. Too many of us have treaded on an endless loop of not enough time. Time management is not the answer. The solution is something else altogether.

Its energy management. The source of energy, the fuel to be managed, comes from, as Bob Proctor and the Beach Boys knew, good vibrations. These good vibrations come from the surf and from something higher and greater. Wayne Dyer, in his book Inspiration:Your Ultimate Calling, put it so well:

The reason I feel inspired isnt because the world looks perfect. Rather, its the other way around: The reason the world looks perfect to me is because Im in-Spirita person who chooses to live an inspired life. Im able to stay in a state of gratitude from the moment I awake early in the morning right up until I close my eyes while falling asleep; and throughout each day, Im reminded that staying in-Spirit is really about staying in vibrational harmony.

Yay. I love that. Vibrational harmony.

The Energy Equation works. I know, because it has saved me on a number of occasions. The following are three stories from the roller coaster.

1. The Stork Surprises Me

In the late 90s, I was just starting my business, trying to make my way into what was clearly a male-dominated industry. After some time in the wealth-education arena, learning different models and business strategies, I found my way to a speaking circuit of educators and motivational leaders. These stages attracted people interested in finance, investing, and personal success in every category imaginable.
