And it's not necessarily related to that everything had to be perfect, but there were a few reasons that those sort of themes came up. So I used that one, let your true self shine through, for quite a while until that became very natural for me. And then I struggled with things like good enough is okay. I could not really get my head around that for a very long time. And what I realized was that

the behavior that was panning out for me was I had such high expectations that everything had to be perfect. And then I thought, well, it's not going to be perfect. So, you know, I was just looking out for everything that was like less than perfect or wrong. And then I realized that actually usually in the end, whether it's perfect or not is irrelevant.

I do quite a good job of most of the things that I do and I'm proud of them afterwards, but I've caused myself so much stress in the run up to it. And, you know, the closest people around me may be felt some of that stress too, that that really just wasn't worth it. And I gave myself the data and the evidence that usually the projects that I pay my attention to turn out really well.

So I kind of just learned to drop the stress around perfection that was coming with that. And I think a big learning that I had as well is that things don't always pan out how you plan. So becoming more flexible and open and spontaneous was important.

And I think both of those things have definitely contributed to being more creative, because in creativity, there is no such thing as perfection, and you do have to be flexible and spontaneous.

Yeah, I mean, as a serial entrepreneur like you, that's quite an obvious, in a way, just very tangible. But what I want to put behind that, that I'm sure you have examples of as well, is that it's the way that you deal with that that's the actual test. Right. Because something can not go as planned, and you could waste months or years dwelling on that.

Or you could learn through neuroplasticity to put that behind you as quickly as possible and move on to the next potential option. That's definitely been a big learning for me as well. It's come from not being able to let go of things that haven't panned out the way that I wanted them to. Then really looking back and taking stock and realizing, okay, That happened anyway.

Whatever it was that actually happened, that wasn't gonna change. But the amount of time that I wasted not being able to come to terms with that, that was actually the mistake that I made.

That's a really nice question. I wish I had a bit more of a, like, specific example. Because I want to say, that there are clues, but it's quite hard to say what they might be if I don't know, you know, what necessarily. So let's, okay, let's just say generally, if you're trying to manifest things.

Yeah, and I think that's a great example. And for other things as well, a question you could ask yourself is, am I making progress, however small, towards that thing on a regular basis? I think if you find that you're plateauing or going backwards, then you might need to rethink.

But I wanna go back to the six principles in my book and say that, make sure that it feels like these are valid in your journey. So the first one is abundance, which is based on the negative gearing in the brain of avoiding loss. So the balance of being nervous and excited is a good sign.

For me personally, I know that that's a sweet spot for me, but if you're way more nervous than you are excited, you might want to kind of journal about that and see just what the facts are around how likely this manifestation is, how realistic it is within your power to influence it. And then magnetic desire is really important because often people,

say that they want things because that's what all their friends are doing or that's what society expects. And magnetic desire is something that you want so strongly that you are willing to go through the time that it might take or the effort that it might take. And you can't not keep moving towards it. Like you don't have an option. So I think that's a really important one.

Yeah. Maybe particularly if it's not in the norm or the flow, but it's very, very special to you, then I think that's actually maybe even a better sign. And then manifestation is what are the things that you're doing, whether it's through your thoughts or actions in the real world that are going to bring that thing to reality? So I guess the question here is how much can you do?

How much can you influence this? And that may include asking for help. So it may be that somebody or something else can influence it too, but you've still got to ask for that help. And then patience, which I mentioned before, which is that you don't give up because it's taking too long.

So continuing to be motivated towards that goal, even if it feels like nothing's happening at times, which that can happen. And then harmony and universal connection kind of go together in that the thing you're trying to manifest isn't taking away resources from someone else. It's not creating scarcity. It's part of the whole general abundance that we want to foster in the world.

I would say you've got to be really practical about it and go back to those things and help use those six questions to ask yourself if you can see clues in your life.

Yeah, I actually want to take that back a stage, because something I hear quite often is that people have selected all the images, laid them out on the board, but haven't glued them down yet. And I think this person's obviously gone further, which is great, but it's kind of on the same spectrum. Usually it comes back to a feeling of lack of deserving of the image, so the thing that you want.

And what I will say from a neuroscience point of view is that fear and uncertainty are actually the worst state for your brain to be in. If you take a step forward, what you find out quite quickly is that even if something doesn't work out, that feeling is less bad for your brain than the fear of uncertainty.

I think it's Winston Churchill, yeah.
