Law of attraction - believer or skeptic?

I saw this quote on social media this week and it got me thinking . . .

I've been a big believer in visualization, setting intention, and seeing my dreams become reality.

I've created extraordinary results in my life as a result.

Athletic world records, multi-million dollar businesses, friendships with some of the brightest, most successful people in the world, etc.

But this quote made me think about what's really going on when it comes to the power of belief.

Is it possible to create amazing results by just believing that they will come?

I'm gonna say no . . . and if you look at the quote closer, that's not what it's saying.

It says " . . . and go after it . . . "

Those are some important words.

Because here's the truth: whether you call it the law of attraction or the power of hard work, dreams don't work unless you do! (I took that quote from social media too).

YES, you need to believe you are worthy and capable of everything you want.

YES, you need to visualize with crystal clarity what it will feel like to achieve your biggest goals.

And YES, you need to work your very hardest to make all of that happen.

I was recently talking to my friend TJ Dillashaw about this exact thing.

He's the 2014 UFC Bantamweight World Champion who's gunning to re-take the title this year.

He is a BIG fan of the power of belief.

But he also works harder than almost all the other guys in the UFC to become a champion. He told me about his training schedule and it was no joke.

TJ started out as a wrestler and was planning on going into the medical field in college.

But then he changed course because he got a vision of what he could become as a champion fighter.

And when he won his championship, he attributed it to the power of belief.

As he told me in our interview on the podcast, "You can create the greatest things with belief."

But you also have to do the work.

And when you do, the extraordinary happens.

Dream big and do the work,

Lewis
