Flying Business Class as a Family
Welcome back to the Wonderlover Podcast. I am recording this episode from Cornwall, England. It is my last day here and tomorrow we are flying as a family to Switzerland and then back to Brazil next week. So we have flights from Zurich. Layover in Paris and then direct flight to Rio.
We are flying business class with Baby Levin and it will be his first business class flight at five months old. It’s going to be amazing because we booked the bulkhead seats. So not only do we have lay flat seats, we also have extra legroom, so leaven will be able to roll around, practice tummy time and just be comfortable for the almost 12 hour flight from Paris to Rio. When I was telling my mom about our plans to go back to Brazil, she was joking that Levin is only five months old and he’s experiencing his first business class flight, whereas she herself in her sixties, has not yet. Of course, so many factors come into play here.
She was an immigrant and worked so hard to give her children the opportunities that we grew up with. I personally would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for all of the love and the sacrifices that my parents made for my brother and I. When she said that, I immediately. Flashed to my vision board and realized that I now have this tremendous desire to gift my parents their first business class flight experience in the near future.
And I know that it is coming. I know with certainty that I am going to do that because of the fact. That every single year when I create my vision board and set it as my desktop wallpaper, I look at it every single day. Everything on it always comes true. For those of you who have been following along since the beginning, for those of you who have listened to all of the mindset episodes that I’ve recorded over the past five years on this podcast, you know how steadfast and how strong mindset is in entrepreneurship and getting what you want in life.
The Power of Vision Boards
It starts in December. For every upcoming year, I go through goal mapping and vision boarding the new year with all of my clients and with myself. Every single year we create vision boards of what we want to call in, and every single year, if you look at my background wallpaper for this year, for instance, you can see that I have business class plates and the middle row where you have that little window where you can talk to the person next to you. I have an image of those seats, the exact seats that we booked for this year. Bear in mind that flying with a family is significantly more expensive than flying with yourself.
Thankfully, he is less than two years old. We still had to pay 10% of the business class price. For his seat, so it’s not like a free flight. And that came out to $400, which is significantly less than paying full price for a third person. But even with your partner with kids, it comes out to a lot more. And when I created this vision board. Things like, will I have enough money?
Will this be possible? Will all the expenses be manageable? Of course, these questions came up and at the time I didn’t even have a child yet, like I was seven months pregnant with Levin, but I created this in the Headspace that I will get everything that I want with no fear, with no doubt. This is what I want to convey for this podcast episode that if you want something, you can have it.
Even if you do have doubts and time after time again, you will prove yourself right by showing yourself that it is possible to get anything that you want.
Understanding the Science of Manifestation
I am currently rereading the signs of Getting Rich by Wallace D Wattles, and he conveys this manifestation process. So clearly and so effortlessly. Even before I read the book, I kind of already grasped the concepts, but it has just been proven right through this book.
It was written in 1910, so I find it fascinating that all of the concepts have held true through. Over a century, and if you haven’t read it already, I highly, highly recommend doing so. There is an exact science behind manifestation and you can choose to believe it or you can choose to fight against it.
But I will say it does not serve you or anyone else around you any good if you are going against the grain and trying to prove it wrong, and just spending your time trying to disprove something for the sake of it, rather than opening up and seeing what could happen with your life. If you just toyed with the idea that everything around manifestation is true.
First and foremost, it is really important to understand the way of the world. Waddles said:
The universe desires you to have everything you want to have. Nature is friendly to your plans.
If you can internalize that, it’s already giving you such an advantage simply by believing in that and going with the flow, then trying to disprove it and trying to prove that nature is not friendly to your plans and everyone is against you.
The other incredible thing is this isn’t the only author who says this, one of my favorite quotes by Paulo Kello, it’s on my website, it is the backbone of my business.
When you want something, the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
When I work through this with my clients, some of them have doubts, some of them are firm believers that. Sometimes the universe does not want you to have what you have, and then they bring examples from the past. An example of when they wanted a promotion at work and didn’t get it, or if they wanted a relationship to work out and it ended in divorce. I am not the one who made up these rules. I am not the creator of the universe with all of the answers, but all I know is your past does not define your future, and you can move forward trusting in this new reality and accepting that this is truly the way the world works.
Or you can continue believing what you believe, that you cannot have everything you want in your life, and recognizing that you are not where you want to be in life and continuing on this path, ask yourself, does it serve you more, shifting your beliefs into this new reality or continuing on your current path?
The Importance of Visualization
If you are listening to this episode, I have a feeling that maybe a part of you wants a part of your life to be a little different, a little better, and I guarantee you, if you shift your thoughts, if you shift your mindset, you are capable of getting everything you want by accepting the fact that the universe desires you to have everything you want to have.
How freeing is this? How freeing is it to just want something and then be fully confident that it is coming to you? That is the power I want to instil in you, and I know that it is possible. Next, when we have this unwavering faith, we must think in the certain way and in the book Waddle said:
You must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want. You cannot transmit an idea unless you have the idea yourself. You must have it before you can give it. And many people fail to impress thinking substance because they have themselves only a vague and misty concept of the things they want to do to have or to become.
When you try to impress your wants upon the thinking substance, remember that it must be done with a coherent statement. You must know what you want and be specific and definite. You can never get rich or start the creative power into action by sending out unformed, longings and vague desires.
What this means is every single thing in this world. Has been created by first a thought. A thought has created the names of countries it has created Every single house built on earth. It has created all of the guitars and musical instruments I see in front of me. Every business started with an idea, with a thought. Every invention, every language, everything in this world. Has come alive because of someone’s thought, and thoughts and ideas are infinite. You can think of new ideas every single day.
Living as If Your Desires Have Already Come True
You can impress upon what he calls a formless substance. You can impress anything that you want and you have the power to bring it to life, but you must do so in a way. Where it’s not vague, where it’s very definite, where it is coherent, and you have to be specific. You can’t send out vague concepts like I want to find love.
Or I want to get rich, or I want to be happy. You need to be as specific as possible, and this is where passion planning and vision boarding comes into play. If you go back and listen to my Attracting Your Ideal Life Partner episode. You’ll know that I manifested Ragz because I was so specific in the qualities and the traits of my future partner, and it was so much easier for me to filter out who was worth my time and who wasn’t.
Every single year, when I create vision boards, it’s an exact number of how much I want to make in my business, it’s business class flights with the exact airline that I want to fly and the exact seats. I didn’t want to be separated window and window. I wanted to be next to each other, and that’s exactly what we got. In December when I created this vision board I had pictures of a baby and after going through a miscarriage, I was not. The least bit worried that it would happen again. I was only focused on what I want to call in and not listening to any of the fears that could have come up. I had pictures of the perfect postpartum body that I wanted to achieve that I know is coming to me this year, it is on its way. It’s already showing more and more each day.
Everything that you want in life can be yours. You need to first accept that the universe is friendly to your plans, and then you have to be specific and definite.
Shifting Your Mindset and Practicing Gratitude
Mindset is so important, and in every single one of my programs, we start with mindset. You cannot create the life that you want if you are holding yourself back. If you are talking yourself out of great ideas, of great new opportunities. If you have an inner mean girl, we need to turn her into an inner cheerleader.
Wattles says:
From that moment on, after creating your specific and definite vision, from that moment on, you must in mind receive what you ask for. Live in the new house, wear the fine clothes, ride in the automobile, go on the journey and confidently plan for greater journeys. Think and speak of all the things you have asked for in terms of actual present ownership.
Imagine an environment and a financial condition exactly as you want them, and live all the time in that mental environment and financial condition until they take physical shape. This means that you must get over your own bullshit of not having what you want yet, and you must accept from the bottom of your heart that it is already yours. It is coming your way. You must not speak of it in any other alternative. You must not cast doubt into the universe because just as powerful, the law of attraction is with bringing you everything that you want in life. If you are fearful, if you cast doubt, it’s going to send it away. It’s going to repel all that goodness away in any moment.
When you catch yourself doubting or being fearful or trying to clinging onto a past reality for safety, you can shift. What you can do is shift into gratitude. He says, the value of gratitude does not consist solely in getting you more blessings in the future. Without gratitude, you cannot long keep from dissatisfied thought regarding things as they are.
The moment you permit your mind to dwell with dissatisfaction upon things as they are, you begin to lose ground. You fix attention upon the common, the ordinary, the poor, the squalid, and the mean, and your mind takes the form of those things. Then you will transmit these forms or mental images to the formless and the common, the poor, the squalled, and the mean will come to you to permit your mind.
To dwell upon the inferior is to become inferior and to surround yourself with inferior things on the other hand. To fix your attention on the best is to surround yourself with the best and to become the best. The creative power within us makes us into the image of that to which we give our attention.
We are a thinking substance too, and thinking substance always takes the form of that which it thinks about. The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best. Remember when I said every single thing in this universe has come? To life with the power of thought. Imagine if all you’re thinking about are failures, are mean things are of poverty, penny pinching, inferiority, lovelessness.
You do not want to transmit those images and bring those images to life. So you need to be very, very diligent about filtering the thoughts that are allowed to pass through your mind. So I encourage you, create a vision board. Do not entertain the possibility that your vision will not come true. Do not try to limit your potential by playing it safe.
Taking Inspired Action to Achieve Your Goals
You have one life to live, and I want you to know that everything that you want. Is coming your way. Every desire that you have, it is unique to you. You are the living being that is responsible for manifesting and creating what it is that you want in this one lifetime. When I was working a corporate job, I had no idea how to make money online, but I put it on my vision board.
I put it in my passion planner, and I knew that it was coming to me at a certain point. I had no idea how to hit five figure months, multiple five figure months, how to fly business class with a family, how to even create a family who I would create a family with. So many things that I have defined as coming to me.
It seemed impossible in the moment, but over time, the universe helps you in achieving what it is that you want. It’s the freaking universe. We’re crying out loud. It is. So out of your control, you cannot control anything else except yourself. So the best you can do is express those desires and trust that everything else that is so out of reach on other continents, other communities, other people, other ways of thinking, the internet, whatever it is they are friendly to giving you what you want. If it doesn’t come to you in the timeline that you want, don’t give up hope. Don’t say, oh, this is bullshit. It’s not coming to me. I am destined to be a failure. Be certain that it is on its way to you, if not this year, the next year or the year after, but it is coming to you. You have to have unwavering faith.
And then the last piece in this episode is just wanting It isn’t enough. You need to take action. You need to take efficient inspired action to get what it is that you want. You need to open up. The doors to receiving it. If $10,000 wanted to enter in your business right now, would you have the capacity to receive it? Do you have your payment processors? Do you have the products and services available to allow that money to come in? Are people finding you or are you hiding? Are you stepping away from what it is that you want because you’re afraid that you don’t deserve it?
So, for example, the business class flights, it didn’t just land in my lap. I did the research. I had so many alerts on we are flying to Zurich from a local airport to meet some friends, and then flying to Brazil, we were open to all the possibilities that could get us. To our end goal. Trust me, when you have exactly what you want, it will come to you and I believe in you. Let me know if this episode resonated with you.
Send me all your thoughts on Instagram to the Wanderlover and I will see you guys in the next episode. Have an amazing week, my loves, and I will catch you in Brazil.
