Welcome to the Making of You. I’m Alexandria, founder of The Mastery Project and Your Transformation Hub. And this podcast is dedicated to understanding the whys and ways to transform ‘doable’ into enjoyable, successful and purposeful while becoming the architect of your own life.

Okay, so today we’re going to dive in. Our episode is 5 Ways to become a Fan of Fortune.

So gosh, fortune. My first one is number one, please ask yourself inside, no one else’s opinions, no one else’s influence. What does fortune actually mean to you?

Now sometimes for people it’s a fantastic win on a game show or winning the national lottery. For other people it’s that they believe that they are going to be self made in their life. So they’re going to be investing in seeking their fortune, in going out, taking risks and jumping on that life journey of endless openness. Openness and opportunities.

Of course some of us believe truly that fortune is magical. It lands in your lap and you don’t have to try, you just need to focus and magnetize.

So what’s the answer? What’s the definition? Well, as far as I’m concerned, fortune is a huge topic, it’s a huge state of being and so it’s different things to different people and probably everything I’ve mentioned, but for you, just find out what it means to you. Now if you’ve been brought up with you have to work hard for everything you have, then please consider that there is also a lot of immaterial help out there and a lot of ways that you don’t know about that could actually fuel and fund what you truly want in your life. So my number one is be open hearted and open minded. Doesn’t make you gullible, doesn’t sense make it doesn’t make you wanting to agree to every financial scheme that passes your way. It is simply to say if you’re open hearted and open minded, then you are in a position where you can receive unconditionally and you can receive unconditionally what you know about and also what you don’t know about.

And we can honestly put our hands up and say we can’t know all the opportunities that are coming to us. And the nature of the universe is that it is truly chaosity. It is endless beautiful patterns and matrices of endless flow of energy. And that isn’t something that our logical linear minds can truly understand. But our hearts, yep, our hearts, they can be open to that we can have faith. We can be in unconditional receiving for ourselves.

So number one, open heart and open mind. Whatever you feel Fortune is for you, make sure that you do have an open heart and open mind about how it can flow through your life and how you can benefit from it.

Okay, number two, right. Then what affects how we perceive Fortune? What affects our existing foundation? Well, of course, how we’ve grown up, whether we had a challenging childhood regarding money, whether we were very fortunate when we were growing up and felt like we did have everything that we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable life. Whatever it is for us, our experiences of money and of creating in our childhood can form, of course, major influences in our Fortune Foundation.

So my number two is, please don’t import other people’s opinions or other people’s ways of relating to fortune and take them on as your own. Now, that doesn’t mean that I don’t mean learn from how other people handle Fortune, all right? But what I am saying for you is you aren’t your parents, you aren’t your teachers, you aren’t your big business mentor. What you’re doing is you are learning and you are a unique and worthy individual that has a wonderful individual connection.

So when you’re building your Fortune foundation, of course wisdom harvest from what other people have done is if you saw your parents struggle when you were growing up, you may say to yourself, I’m not going to struggle.

But also if you’re not going to struggle, work out what being prosperous, being open and creating easily means to you because that is going to be investing in the Fortune Foundation.

And of course, if there are money issues in your home life, then it’s also to say I need to be looking at my creation consciousness on all levels in order to be able to experience greater prosperity and abundance in equal measure.

So for me, what do you need to do that you need fuel? And of course, I’m a big champion of the heart mind alignment. And so what I will say is, in number two, build your heart mind alignment, okay? Make sure that you are in your heart, you are open to, to your infinite unique connection, all right? That you’re feeling that energy flowing through you, flowing through your intentions, what you are focusing on dreams that you want to energize, if you want to do picture boards of, you know, how you want to materialize your Fortune foundation into your world. If you want to write intentional statements, if you want to meditate, if you want to feel that you’re co creating with the support of, for example, Mother Earth, and you’re saying, yeah, that’s combined together joint wisdom fest about how I can bring this beautiful dream into reality.

Make sure you’re connecting through your heart.

Your heart is that infinite portal that is designed to handle all of the immaterial energies that are going to slow down, get focused and create the form of your chosen fortune.

So if you’re going to be in your head exclusively and kind of forget about your heart and think it’s a bit weak and a bit Namdi Pandy, well, you’re going to be in a situation where you are potentially shutting away that beautiful fuel or you’ve got a poor co creation or overlap with your heart. So that’s not going to be helping you. All right? So if you want effortless creativity, if you want to graduate to instantaneous manifestation, you do need to work on that heart mind alignment to make sure that you’re always feeling yourself.

Now the key to the mind is of course to use it to administrate your life, all right? Not to be constantly searching for solutions in your head when you haven’t got the fuel to focus in order to create them.

So the mind think planning, of course, think sketching, think lists, think strategies, but also go, yes, I do need to feel that heart commitment to my creative process.

So feeling and believing that that fortune, I am worthy of it and I am connected to that constant flow from the greater universe, the energy simply to be prosperous, to be fortunate.

Okay, so number three, I would like you to visualize that you are standing in a beautiful wave of energy that is both prosperous and abundant. So what do I mean by that? Well, when we are aligned and when we believe that we’re always aligned, then of course the ways that the universe can support us in our dream and in our chosen intentions and creative projects is going to be really well aligned and give us a lot of different ways for that form and that experience to come into our life.

If we’re getting overly logical, overly fixated about how the form needs to be and how we need to experience it in very logical or very detailed ways, then unfortunately the universe is going to go, gosh, that’s a lot of detail. And that detail can end up being a little bit spikes coming out, sort of sending away the infinite flow. So if you want to be in your fortune foundation always, then recognize that of course you do want a self loving form, you want a balanced form. But it’s not to get obsessive about the detail because the universe can find that a little bit of a sense of hurdles all around you that are perhaps slowing down.

A way of you receiving that you just didn’t know about now. Also, we can become a little bit obsessed with outside of ourselves. We can get preoccupied about the fortune and about providing for other people, or we can get obsessive about what we want and only what we want and perhaps go off a little bit with our ego and say, it’s all about me.

So in creativity, it’s much, much better when you’re creating your Fortune foundation that you think both of of course, being generous, being supportive and helping other people create their dreams, but you’re also not going to do that all the time and then forget yourself.

So I can have a lot of people come to talk to me and say, gosh, I never get around to what I want to do. And I say, well, the reason you’re not getting around to what you want to do is because you are overly focused on other people and it doesn’t make you an ingenerous or mean person. If you’re balancing give and take, you’re balancing unconditional giving and receiving and you are aware when perhaps you’re an over giver or you’re giving yourself away, you’re scattering your energy to your environment and you’re not finding the self discipline or self love to focus on what you truly want in equal ways.

So that balance is extremely important.

Right. Number four.

Okay, Fortune. I want everyone to look at the flows of energy standing in that beautiful wave. And I want everyone to realize that that wave is of course fundamentally immaterial. But that doesn’t mean that fortune is either all immaterial or all physical. So it’s not all about the money any more than it’s all about loving what you do. It’s a combination of both. And sometimes in our life we’re not fortunate because we say to ourselves, gosh, oh, we shouldn’t get too obsessed about money because that’s unhealthy. Now, I’m not talking about obsession, but I am saying, of course money is a form of exchange in our life. It’s a form of fortune.

So it’s to say, yes, that you do want money, you do want material support, investment, but it’s not the only way that you can experience fortune.

So also to say to the universe, you want good health, you want loving relationships, you want the ability to take a day off and look after your own health. You want to be able literally to balance the material and material components that are what you see as your Fortune Foundation.

Okay? So don’t send money away because you think it’s bad, because you think you should be focusing more on the immaterial or the true sort of essential qualities of yourself. But equally also, of course, finding that balance between what truly makes your heart sing, what is important on an immaterial level, and what is truly fulfilling in a purposeful way.

Okay, so number five, my last point today. What can hamper your Fortune Foundation? Well, it can be that when we’ve had a financial shock, we sort of build a bit of a obstacle around it. We sort of box it up because it was really painful and it hurt. And then that box is sort of connected, if you will, to our ankle and we’re dragging that box along because we can’t really forgive, we can’t forget, or we keep making constant reference to perhaps a mistake, we shouldn’t have trusted someone, or a loss or a situation that actually we think put our Fortune foundation back.

So whatever. If you have had any financial experiences that were less than encouraging and you wish you had done them or they were really upsetting and it took you a while to recover from them, please do not focus on them. Please let go of them. Please. See literally that dragging of the burden. Cut the cord with it and let it go. And let the universe, let Mother Earth, let all the immaterial, benevolent, unconditionally loving energies help you recycle that so that it doesn’t drain your Fortune Foundation.

For a lot of people over focusing on the past or past financial mistakes or, or situations where they struggled and things never worked out can drag down their existing opportunities and drain your energy so you don’t actually get aligned well and get into a space where you can create easily and feel fortunate and feel prosperous and abundant.

So please don’t make those connections to the past when things didn’t work well, heal them by allowing them to recycle. Say I take the wisdom from it. If you can understand what you did that wasn’t helpful or wasn’t self-loving, just say great. I have chosen next time to really be wise, self-loving and balanced. And my advice to anyone, if you’re considering investments, if you’re considering taking on loans, if you’re considering anything in financial and prosperous ways, sleep on it. Don’t rush into it. Find your balance point and if you need help, talk it through with someone you trust, okay? It’s been my pleasure today to talk about being a fan of Fortune and as we all know, money is important in our lives. It’s not the only way to create, but I hope you’ve learned something in this podcast and ways that you can perhaps fine tune your foundation. Of fortune for your greater good.
