The Universe will match whatever vibration you put out. And you can’t fool The Universe. - Jen Sincero

The Big Snooze is like an overprotective Italian mother who not only doesn’t want you to ever go outside, but who wants you to live with her forever. Her intentions are good, but fully fear-based. As long as you stay inside the familiar, risk-free zone of your present reality, the Big Snooze is content, but should you try and sneak past her to attend the rockin’ party outside, your overprotective, controlling mother is going to claw, scratch, scream, bite, hurl her body in front of your rapidly approaching new life — basically she’s going to do whatever she can to stop you. And it ain’t gonna be pretty.

Living a life in which you’re constantly letting yourself down and feeling powerless against distractions and impulses is hard; waiting a few seconds and retraining your focus to achieve success is easy.

Wake up in the morning and declare what it is that you’ll celebrate today. Even better, write it down. Celebrate all of it — the good, the bad, the not yet happened; the key is that you truly rejoice in the feeling of gratitude for everything.
