I wake up in an enormous bedroom where even the king sized bed is dwarfed by the sheer size of the room. The sunlight streams through the enormous windows and there is so much light in the room it almost feels like we are outside. Opening the door to the balcony, the immaculate gardens spring into view with the sunshine glinting off the swimming pool. After spending a few minutes doing some yoga exercises I dive into the pool for a refreshing swim. I jump out of the pool totally refreshed and go to the poolside bathroom to have my ablutions. There is a totally luxurious en suite bathroom but my wife is using that one. It has jacuzzi bath, an enormous shower that absolutely deluges you with water. It has an infra red sauna with inbuilt entertainment system which includes television, dvd player, music system and radio.

A delicious nutritious breakfast is served to us by our cook in our beautiful state of the art kitchen. The kitchen is absolutely stunning with any labour saving device you can think of, the patio doors open out onto the swimming pool terrace.

The house has under floor heating and air conditioning vents in the ceilings and these are powered by thermal underground heating. The electricity is generated on site without producing any pollution. Out of the kitchen into a large hallway filled with light from the rooftop dome and a spectacular staircase to the first floor. A beautiful grand piano resides in the hallway. The rooms that branch off from the hallway include a library cum office, a private cinema, a snooker room, a beautiful living room with the most luxurious furniture and fine paintings, a large dining room with twenty seats.

I go into the library and I get on with my work. I check on the work that I outsourced to my team and seeing that it has been done to my satisfaction I send out the new tasks to be completed. I then check how much my affiliate sites earned while I slept and as usual my earnings are far in excess of my expenditure. Next I check on my investments and after opening some trades closing others and reducing risk on still more trades my working day is done. This usually takes between one to two hours, Monday to Friday with the weekends free.

Now comes the hard part. First I have to decide which car will transport me today.
Will it be the Bentley soft top, will it be the Ferrari, perhaps the Audi R8, or that bright yellow Lamborghini? I finally opt for the Bentley. As I drive the car with the top down the warm fragrant air gently caresses my face and this incredible car feels like it is just floating along the road. A feeling of exhilaration overwhelms me when I bury the accelerator deep into the luxurious carpet and the car lunges forward with such power and grace.

Arriving in the city I meet my wife who informs that she has arranged another charity fundraiser which will help some people in need. These are always great fun and help a lot of people. I help her with some arrangements and then its time for shopping. Shopping without looking at the price is a real pleasure. Buying holidays is my favourite type of shopping and today I buy a luxurious holiday for my whole family to travel first class and stay in the best rooms in the best hotels which costs me tens of thousands of pounds. This is my fifth holiday this year and it is only June so far. We decide to have a night out and enjoy the best of what the city has to offer. The best clubs, the best restaurants, the best entertainment is ours to enjoy without worrying about the cost.

We get home late having taken our fill of the best that life has to offer. Before going to bed I can’t resist looking how much I have earned while enjoying life today. It makes me feel contented, excited to see twice as much income come in as I spent today.

As my head hits the pillow I feel incredibly satisfied, contented and grateful for the life I have.

I wake up after having a great night’s rest, feeling refreshed and eager to start my day. I bound out of bed, stretch, walk across my lovely carpeting in my beautiful bedroom, seeing the sun stream in through the windows that overlook the sun-dappled yard, pine forest and lake beyond. I refresh myself in my bathroom which feels like a tranquil bamboo forest.

I scratch my cat’s head, look out the window, and there in the back yard are my son and the love of my life, playing together and laughing. They wave up at me. I grab my mat and head downstairs – I want to do my yoga and meditation outside today on the hill overlooking the lake. It’s a beautiful day.

After a great, leisurely yoga routine and a centering meditation, I return to the house, shower, then come downstairs to have coffee and breakfast while talking with my boys. We have a great conversation. My son says he’s off to play with his best friend, but we make plans for some time together later in the day. My love and I have a great conversation, share a few intimate moments, then he’s off to work – he’s brilliant and creative and inspiring and I love him more everytime I see him.

I take my coffee and the cat and we walk outside to the music building. I spend several hours practicing, writing, recording ideas, then get together with the band to go over stuff, work on what I’ve been producing, and get ready for tomorrow’s show in New York at one of the most exclusive and amazing concert venues in the world. The music sounds amazing, we all gel so well, and we write some fantastic, classic songs together.

Harry Connick, Jr. stops by so we can rehearse for our gig at the Oscars in a few weeks – we’re up for Best Original Song.

After rehearsal, I take a few phone interviews. Then I take a break to hang out with my mom and sister who have come over for coffee – we do that a few times a week – just hanging, laughing, playing board games.

T comes home and we chat and he tells us about his day with his buddies. We talk about dinner and plan a great menu, then we all go to the farmers’ market together to get everything. We’ve decided to make a big summer feast with produce from our large garden.

We have a great time shopping together, laughing, hugging, talking, really bonding. Then when we get home, T hangs around for a bit while mom, my sister and I get dinner started.

I’m with my loved ones in my gourmet kitchen, drinking a glass of wine, making a lovely dinner and just enjoying being in the moment. My love comes home and grins when he surveys the scene – it’s not often that I do the cooking. He gives me a kiss, gets a glass of wine, and hangs out in the kitchen while we finish up dinner.

We have a great meal together – enjoying each other’s company – and decide to go sit on the deck to relax under the darkening sky. We listen to some good jazz and I quietly snuggle with my son while the stars come out.

Tomorrow will be a big day – the concert, the after-party where so many of my dear friends and family will be – but, for now, I’m enjoying the closeness with those I love.

Mom and my sister go home to their families. T goes to bed. My love and I stay up and listen to the night a bit longer. We go up to bed together, then fall asleep with the fan in the window and the crickets chirping.

But Lot’s wife could not resist looking back, and in that moment her thoughts still being connected to the life she was leaving behind, she got turned into a pillar of salt.

We don’t know whether the story is true, or just a metaphor to teach us that if we want a new life WE MUST LET GO OF THE OLD LIFE FIRST.

So working out WHY you want things to change, and what are the benefits of changing, you build up an incredible desire to move towards what you want, and you shut off all energy to the world you are leaving behind.

Jesus said, “get in behind me so I can’t see you anymore”.

Give all your energy to ONLY, and EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT. Stop giving energy to all the bad stuff in your life.

If you check out the Ten Commandments – they are not a mantra, but a guide to living an amazing life on planet earth. You have FREEWILL, FREECHOICE.

If you forgive those that trespass against you, all the emotional baggage disappears from your life. It is ‘forgive and FORGETTING’

It is okay to love your neigbour’s wife if you have PERMISSION FIRST – otherwise, God warns us that your neigbour may get very angry and seek revenge, maybe cutting off your testicles.

The golden rule is to dream about what you would rather have in your life, until the dream becomes SO EXCITING, that many days go by and you realise you haven’t thought about your old life all this time – it just slipped off the radar, because you told your mind, “thankyou for my life, but now I wish to try something better”.

People want their dreams to come true, but they won’t make progress until they make a concrete decision, “what exactly is it I want?”

If you feel a warm glow, like “aha”, then you can move forward one step at a time towards your goal, having faith the next step will appear, just as ca lights can only show you 50 metres down the road a time.

STEP BODLY IN THE DIRECTION OF YOUR GOALS, keep asking yourself whether you are stil on course.

A ship sets course from Sydney to Melbourne, it does not stop half way and turn back. Humans should not turn around either. If your goal is worthwhile, then PERSIST UNTIL SUCCESS STARES YOU IN THE EYEBALLS.
