those thoughts stop him. He?d get depressed and try to
forget all the brilliant ideas and excellent chapters he?d
filed away. Now he embraces the idea that people want to
read his book. Even better, he?s learning to change the story
he?s been telling himself.
Wil l you writ e your book t his year?
If you?re like Marlie, Rhonda or Brett and feel the Universe
insisting you write a book, believe me, there are people
who need to read it. Your words are magnetized to find
your perfect readers, the ones who will resonate with what
you have to say. Don?t worry if it?s not perfect. Do you think
J.K. Rowling sat down and wrote the Harry Potter series
without a single re-write, or a team of editors? Of course
not, and you won?t either.
So, what get s in your way?
Everyone has their own unique ways of resisting their calling to write a book, (or fulfill their other dreams,) but
Marlie, Rhonda and Brett are perfect examples of the big three:
1. waiting for the ?right? time,
2. feeling overwhelmed, and
3. self-doubt or ?I can?t.?
These are al l just t hought s, powerf ul but reversibl e. They are t he condit ioned l ies we t el l
oursel ves ? perf ect l y nat ural , common t o al l of us, and compl et el y over-come-abl e! Here are
some ways t o shif t your t hinking.
1. There is onl y now.
The right time to start writing your book was when you first thought of it. The next-best time is right NOW. Good
thing the Universe does not unfold as past-present-future the way we think it does. Metaphysically, there is only now.
Remembering this gives me a sense of ease: it?s never too late. It also gives me a sense of urgency: if not now, when?
Here?s where we draw on a hybrid law I like to use, the Law of Attraction-Action. You need both, especially when it
comes to a project like writing a book, which only happens when you open the laptop. So, begin by affirming:
Divine Love flowing through me now draws to me the perfect words to share my heart?s message.
That?s the first step on your book journey! Bon Voyage! You are right on time.
2. Feel ing overwhel med is a mind game.
I get it, a book can be BIG. By that I mean long, complicated or hard to imagine starting or finishing. But, a book can
also be BIG in its impact, power, and potential for success (for you) and service (for others.)
Drop out of your thoughts about overwhelm for a minute. What
recurring memories keep showing up? What lingering dreams are you
having that you can?t let go of? What out-of-the-blue insights are
shooting you out of your seat? The Universe points the way with these
clues. Write them down without judgement, even if they are only
fragments. Understand, these non-thought-based messages don?t come
through in perfect form and sentence structure. For most of us, the
Universe whispers and hints around. It doesn?t clearly dictate entire
volumes, at least not at first. Don?t let those insights, memories or
dreams get away! Trust the Universe and take notes.
3. I am not good enough and I can?t .
The Universe is expressing through you. How glorious could your book be if you believed that truth? Pretty glorious.
