Though you're hearing this in the New Year, it's New Year's eve here, and I want to talk about a topic most of us seem to struggling with, and that's feeling stuck. WE could be feeling stuck at home, at work, spiritually, financially, or with our partner, but in some aspect of our life, almost all of us feel dis-empowered, or unsure where to turn. That goes for me as well. So if this sounds even remotely like you, then do we have the show for you! Today we'll be talking with Matt Kahn, called back on the show by popular demand – and author of the best-selling book Whatever Arises, Love That! I want to talk with Matt about the spiritual side of things, or perhaps a spiritual resolution, which seems most important to me for the new year. And I want to talk about what it really means to be stuck, and why we may even want to embrace the confusion and the 'stuckedness'…even, or especially if we're in the stinky stuff. And I want to talk about slowing down, at a time we're all speeding up. Evolutionarily we're speeding up, as a race we're speeding up, but also our to-do's are completely out of control. And at this time of year we're all thinking about new years resolutions, or how to make our to do lists, even longer. So I'd like to talk about how we can flip things on their head for the new year, simplifying, slowing things down, and giving ourselves a chance to breathe, and our spirits the chance to soar. That Plus a Question from a Miner in Australia - WHO I WISH TO DEDICATE THIS SHOW. Questions and Topics Include: Is doubt normal? How do we move past doubt? Why it's important to love the one who is doubting. How to turn the Law of Attraction on its head. Why The Secret and The Law of Attraction is actually backwards. How do we tell what is intuition? How to realize our job is not to get out of our own way. How to know we can't screw things up. How the mind works as an alert system of the heart What do we do when we're stuck? Why nurturing the one with "the issue" makes all the difference Why New Years resolutions don't stick How the Law of Attraction really works – and what it has to do with circulating energy What the George Costanza affect (from Seinfeld) has to do with The Secret What Indirect Manifestation is and what it means for us Why the answer is circulating energy to get unstuck Why manifestation comes from doing things differently What's the importance of doing things differently What different is good. The importance of getting rooted in one's body. How To Get Unstuck & Shift Your Life for the New Year - Plus A Spiritual Look at the Law of Attraction & Manifestation – Plus Resolutions & Happiness!

It's not often a book comes along today that shakes me to the core. But particularly as we're asking, who do we want to be when we grow up, here at Inspire Nation, or how do we take things to a whole new level, that these books are incredibly important.

What are the 3 reasons to work How the lead characters in The Go-Giver and The Go-Giver Leader both found their callings and were so open to unfamiliar ideas How John didn't have time to write the Go-Giver, and yet, how he made time and it transformed his life…changing his business and career in the process! Why serving others can be your calling What John thinks of 'Do What You Love and the Money will Follow' Why we need to say 'how does this serve' and then 'does this make me money' Why what's in the way is the way.
