Madonna has sold more than 300 million records worldwide and is recognized as the world’s top-selling female recording artist of all time by the Guinness World Records. At 53 years old she continues to amaze people on stage and off – last night’s Super Bowl performance case in point.

We all could learn a thing or two from her; no matter who we are or what we seek to create. No, you don’t want Madonna’s life (really, you don’t).

What you do want though, is your life (a life that is perfect for you) to manifest with grace, ease and spectacular success, like hers does.

How can you do that?

By realizing beneath every phenomenal success or dismal failure lies exactly the same causative factor. Beliefs.

How do I know what Madonna’s beliefs are? While I may not know every belief exactly, her reality shows what she must believe. For no one can create what is not within their belief system.

One of the ways you can discover beliefs is by the words you speak. And Madonna is no exception.

Here is what she says about her success and the nature of reality:

“I’m tough, ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.” And:

“That consciousness is everything and that all things begin with a thought. That we are responsible for our own fate, we reap what we sow, we get what we give, we pull in what we put out. I know these things for sure.” And:

“Never forget to dream.” And:

“I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art.”

Are those the words of someone who believes she is a victim? Or powerless? Or undeserving? Absolutely not.

And here is what she says about her continued success despite her age:

“I am a survivor. I am like a cockroach, you just can’t get rid of me.” And:

“I feel just as hungry today as I did the day I left home.”

Of course it isn’t just positive beliefs that create her reality.

About relationships:

“I’m anal retentive. I’m a workaholic. I have insomnia. And I’m a control freak. That’s why I’m not married. Who could stand me?”

Madonna’s beliefs create her reality. Yours do too.

What do you believe about success? Love? Money? Health? Relationships?

Clue number one in discovering your beliefs:

What do you say about what you desire and about you?

I listen to people talk about themselves and their reality in disparaging terms all the time. Some of them know about conscious creation, others do not. And their very words are creating struggle, hardship, disappointment and pain.

Are yours?

Your Inner Assignment:

Take stock of what words you say (or think). Anything less than wonderful, write it down. Uncover the underlying belief. Then change it.

Extra credit:

Assign a close friend to call you on your words which are not in alignment with your desires. And write them down. Discover the belief, and change it.

Remember…“Nothing changes – until you do.” ~ A well known and under-understood quote by my dear friend Lazaris.

Good wishes, my friends and fellow creators.

In joyous creation,
