We ended last week talking about magnetic influence, so let’s talk about the power of conviction to bring a vision to life.  I watched a highlight reel of D23 from this past year—it was something I have never seen before and didn’t even know existed.  Apparently this is a fan club and they hold a convention every year similar to one that is held in my business.  What caught my eye about this is the sheer intensity and insanity.  All of these people come to an imaginary world and dress up as fictional characters and they are all held to such a standard but it speaks to the power of group thought and acceptance and more than anything, it speaks to the power of conviction and the ability to stand behind our ideas.  It’s a testament to the power of moving forward on all cylinders, full ignition and not holding back.  Follow all the pieces and let them come together.  I think of all the changes and adaptations Disney has faced over it’s lifetime and the premise is always the same: imagination is king and nothing is impossible.  Disney himself created worlds that no one thought possible and it sparked the children, the imagination, the love, the creativity in millions of people.  Disney said, “All your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them.”  I wrote a piece on that as well from the perspective of courage but today I speak about that line from the perspective of the power of dreams.  Seeing all of these people suspend their realities to be someone else somewhere else for the time of the convention is a testament to the power of creativity and conviction and manifestation.  These people wanted it all to be real so a world appeared for them. 

The same thing is true for my (or any) business.  There is power in numbers and in energy.  When we come together with like minded individuals and embrace our power, we can make anything happen.  Disney talked of courage and there is courage in pursuing what seems crazy but more so in the conviction to keep going to bring the vision to life.  There is power in vision so don’t ever let anyone talk you out of an idea that they can’t see.  You see it so it is up to you to make it real.  I said last week that when we like ourselves and have belief in our ideas, we attract at a great rate.  This is a prime example of that.  We have to be willing to let go of what we know and build what we see, and we will attract the necessary tools and support because we have faith and belief in our ability, in our skills.  There is power in numbers and when we have an authentic frequency which already operates at a high level, that is amplified infinitely when people of the same belief come together.  There is power in vision, in sharing an idea, in group thought—there is power in conviction.  To reiterate, liking ourselves was never about power over others or ego, liking ourselves was about belief in our visions and abilities.

With all of that being said, seeing this highlight reel and having experienced the energy of a group coming together with a common goal, I want to hit home on this point: if Disney or any other creator can make something unreal tangible, if they can bring an idea based in total fantasy into reality, that is all the proof we need that we can do the same.  It doesn’t look the same for all of us, but we all have the power to create—and we are meant to use it.  It’s magnetic when we believe in ourselves and that power is amplified when others believe in it too.  It’s amazing how people will naturally be drawn toward that confidence, that assurance, and that conviction.  It’s amazing how we can propel ourselves when we have that level of belief as well.  I’ve seen and heard people talk about fearing that type of group thought but I see it differently: I see the magic in creation and how fulfilling our destiny and obligation brings about the power for others to do the same.  It’s showing people how to make the unreal, real.  Like I said above, don’t let anyone talk you out of what they can’t see—you see it for a reason.  Don’t hold back.
