You can manifest your goals into reality. 

I’ve had the privilege of speaking on stage at several events over the last 2 years (including one of my own). And have several more lined up. 

It’s a humbling opportunity and honor to have people care enough about what you do to be willing to sacrifice some of their time and money to see you. 

That said there was one thing I really wanted to do at these events that I hadn’t yet had the opportunity to do.

40 years of professional wrestling fandom has made me think of the last speaker as the Main Event… and I wanted to main event one of these events. 

I should note… that’s not really the case at these events. Everyone is equal and where you speak doesn’t matter… this is something that only mattered to me. 

I also wanted to get what wrestling fans call a “huge pop” meaning large applause from the audience. 

I managed to help the universe in making that come true for me yesterday… 

…but I had to make it happen. 

First I was given the privilege to speak at an amazing event in India 8,000 miles from my home. 

Later I was asked if it would be ok if I spoke as the last keynote for the first day which is also a great honor. 

But somehow I mistakenly thought I was speaking last on the second day. 100% my fault for misunderstanding. 

Well along the way something happened with what one of the other speakers who was originally going to be last on the final day and it looked like he wouldn’t make it…

…so the host asked me if I would mind speaking last on the final day. 

That’s the woo woo part of this. I like to think that I managed to summon the opportunity into reality by believing I already had the goal.

But along the way various things happened. 

The speaker who wasn’t going to make it managed to get there after all. 

They asked me if I still wanted the final slot or if I wanted to move… I told them I really wanted the last slot. 

Then there were some time constraints and one of the hosts was afraid that either the event being a tad behind schedule that people would leave before my presentation and asked if I wanted to go earlier… but I asked to stay where I was. 

Since I spent most of this conference speaking with attendees, getting to know everyone, taking pictures and so on (which is such an amazing experience btw) after chatting with them and learning about them and hearing what they had to say… I would tell them to make sure and stay for my presentation AND to please cheer as loudly as they could (thus getting me the other part of my goal… a loud pop).

And… it worked. 

I was able to do my presentation last AND get an unbelievably flattering response from the attendees. 

In the moments before I went on stage I was so psyched I was shadow boxing in place and hopping up and down because I was so ready to deliver.

After an incredible introduction and I was so amped up I ran up the stage and brought as much energy as I’ve ever given anything to the presentation.

I structured my presentation in a way that built to a particular line at the very end and I was so excited to deliver it that I got all the way through it with 10 minutes left on my time. 

I wanted to send everyone that had been kind enough to wait for 2 days for me and had cheered when I asked them to home happy. 

Whether I did or not is up to them to say but the response I got afterwards makes me think I did. 

So that’s been a goal of mine for a long time and when the universe gave me a way to make it a reality I did what I had to do to help it along… and it worked. 

So if you have a goal work towards it… and look for opportunities to manifest that into reality. 

When you do you will be able to seize opportunities to help make it happen. 

Special thank you to everyone else that help me help this along, I will never take for granted the good fortune that I’ve had to have these opportunities.
