The Miracle Equation

1. The Miracle Equation: Unwavering Faith + Extraordinary Effort = Miracles

The Miracle Equation is deceptively simple to explain but only a small percentage of our society understand how to execute it.

The Miracle Equation consists of two decisions: Unwavering Faith and Extraordinary Effort. This powerful formula has been used by the world's most prolific achievers throughout history to create extraordinary results. By establishing and maintaining these two decisions over an extended period, you can move your goals from possible to probable and eventually to inevitable.

Unwavering Faith is the conscious decision to believe in your ability to achieve your goals, regardless of past experiences or current circumstances. It's not a feeling, but a choice to override negative self-talk and access a mindset that most people never experience. Extraordinary Effort involves taking consistent, focused actions that move you closer to your goals, even when it's uncomfortable or challenging. It's not about working yourself to exhaustion, but rather about maintaining consistent effort over time, regardless of short-term results.

2. Redefine Miracles as Tangible, Measurable Results

I'm referring to faith in the context of what's possible for you—your ability to overcome any adversity you face and produce tangible, measurable miracles.

Tangible, measurable miracles are not random or passive events, but rather the result of active participation in producing extraordinary outcomes. These are the types of miracles that you have a significant degree of control over and can consistently create again and again in your life.

Examples of tangible, measurable miracles:

• Doubling your income
• Achieving optimal health and fitness
• Starting a successful business
• Writing and publishing a book
• Repairing a broken relationship

By redefining miracles in this way, you shift your perspective from waiting for something magical to happen to taking an active role in creating the extraordinary results you desire. This empowers you to tap into your unlimited potential and achieve things you may have previously thought were impossible.

3. Overcome the Inherent Human Conflict Between Limitations and Potential

Deep down inside, we know that we are limitless. But our own brains and the world around us confine us so we remain smaller than we should be.

The inherent human conflict stems from the tension between our innate limitless potential and the limitations imposed by our brain's hardwiring and societal conditioning. This conflict leads to unhappiness, anxiety, and the constant feeling that there's something more out there for us.

To overcome this conflict:

1. Recognize and challenge your self-imposed limitations
2. Consciously choose to focus on your limitless potential
3. Replace fear-based thinking with faith-based thinking
4. Let go of past experiences that no longer serve you
5. Surround yourself with people who believe in your potential

By addressing this conflict, you can tap into your true capabilities and create the extraordinary life you desire. Remember, your external circumstances do not confine you, and your past does not dictate your future. You have the power to choose and create your own reality.

4. Become Emotionally Invincible Through Unconditional Acceptance

The only way never to experience unwanted emotional pain again is to make a conscious decision to accept everything that has ever happened or will ever happen to you.

Emotional invincibility is achieved by understanding that all emotional pain is self-created through resistance to our reality. By practicing unconditional acceptance, you can release yourself from unnecessary suffering and gain control over your emotional state.

The Five-Minute Rule for emotional invincibility:

1. Set a timer for five minutes when faced with adversity
2. Allow yourself to feel your emotions fully during this time
3. When the timer goes off, say "Can't change it" out loud
4. Accept the situation and move forward productively

By implementing this practice, you can quickly process and release negative emotions, freeing up mental and emotional energy to focus on creating the life you want. Remember, accepting your reality doesn't mean you have to be happy about it; it simply means you're choosing not to resist what you can't change, allowing you to direct your energy towards what you can control.

5. Shift Your Paradigm: The Real Purpose of Goals is Personal Growth

The purpose of a goal is not to reach the goal. The purpose of a goal is to become the type of person who can achieve any goal, by always giving it everything you have, regardless of your results.

The real purpose of goals is to develop the qualities and characteristics of a goal achiever, not just to reach a specific outcome. This paradigm shift removes the fear of failure and allows you to set bigger, more meaningful goals without being paralyzed by the possibility of not achieving them.

Benefits of this paradigm shift:

• Eliminates the fear of failure
• Encourages setting more ambitious goals
• Focuses on personal growth and development
• Increases resilience and persistence
• Leads to consistent improvement over time

By adopting this mindset, you free yourself from the emotional rollercoaster of success and failure, instead focusing on the growth and learning that comes from pursuing your goals. This approach ultimately leads to greater long-term success and fulfillment, as you become a person capable of achieving any goal you set your mind to.

6. Identify Your Mission and Align Your Life with Your Top Priority

When you choose to embody the two decisions, you become a Miracle Maven, and you'll think and live differently from the way you have in the past, which will push you toward different results in your present and future.

Identify your mission by determining which goal will enable you to develop the qualities and characteristics needed to achieve everything else you want in life. This mission should be deeply meaningful to you and align with your highest values.

Steps to align your life with your top priority:

1. Clarify what matters most to you (e.g., family, health, career)
2. Evaluate your current schedule and commitments
3. Make necessary changes to prioritize your mission
4. Schedule dedicated time for your mission-critical activities
5. Regularly reassess and adjust your alignment

By focusing on a singular mission and aligning your life with your top priority, you create a powerful foundation for achieving extraordinary results. This focus allows you to develop the mindset and behaviors of a Miracle Maven, making it easier to accomplish your other goals as well.

7. Cultivate Unwavering Faith to Fuel Your Extraordinary Effort

It is by establishing and maintaining faith that you can achieve something that propels you into action. And the more action you take, the more chances you have to reach success—and the more capable and effective you become along the way.

Unwavering Faith is not inherent or natural; it must be consciously established and actively cultivated over time. This faith serves as the foundation for your Extraordinary Effort and is crucial for creating tangible, measurable miracles.

Sources of Unwavering Faith:

• Personal experiences of overcoming challenges
• Mentors or coaches who believe in your potential
• Studying successful individuals in your field
• Spiritual or religious beliefs
• Self-affirmations and positive self-talk

Develop and maintain Unwavering Faith by creating a Miracle Mantra: a single sentence that encapsulates your commitment to your mission and reminds you of your unwavering belief in your ability to achieve it. Repeat this mantra daily to strengthen your resolve and override self-doubt.

8. Make Extraordinary Effort Ordinary Through a Predetermined Process

Often our major goals are big and scary, but the process almost never is.

Extraordinary Effort becomes ordinary when you break it down into a simple, repeatable process that you can execute consistently. This approach makes even the most ambitious goals feel achievable and helps you maintain motivation over time.

Steps to make Extraordinary Effort ordinary:

1. Predetermine your process: Identify the specific daily actions needed to achieve your goal
2. Release emotional attachment to results: Focus on consistent effort rather than short-term outcomes
3. Schedule your process: Make your actions a non-negotiable part of your daily routine
4. Establish accountability: Find a partner or group to keep you on track
5. Assess and adjust: Regularly evaluate your progress and make necessary changes

By following this approach, you transform seemingly extraordinary tasks into manageable, everyday actions. This consistency, maintained over time, is what leads to extraordinary results and the creation of tangible, measurable miracles.

9. Maintain Miracles by Continuously Expanding Your Paradigm of Possibility

To improve your life, you must first improve what you habitually think about.

Continuously expand your paradigm of what's possible for you by consciously designing your mindset and regularly challenging your limitations. This ongoing process allows you to create miracles consistently and in multiple areas of your life.

Strategies for expanding your paradigm:

• Create and implement Miracle Equation Affirmations
• Regularly expose yourself to new ideas and experiences
• Surround yourself with people who inspire and challenge you
• Set progressively more ambitious goals
• Celebrate your successes and learn from your failures

By actively working to expand your paradigm of possibility, you ensure that you continue to grow and achieve extraordinary results throughout your life. Remember, your thoughts create your reality, so investing time in strategically designing your mindset is crucial for maintaining your ability to create miracles at will.
