"Hi we?re back with Deborah McMahon. Deborah hey how ya doing? I'm doing good. You know what this is so important because our lives are so like on high with the stress and so I'm so grateful for you being here to help me and everybody else. On with your third principle. The third principle that I bring out in creating the life of your dreams is letting go. Really letting go, releasing. Letting go of your fears, letting go of your old belief system. Letting go on the things that keep you stuck in one place. We believe in limitations and we have limitations. What we believe, we achieve. I mean it's like every where. It is done to you as you believe. When you?re willing to examine them and let them go, this opens up an opportunity for you to create a whole new life. When things come up that you?re resisting, your giving your power away to things you want to resist. So you don't want to resist anything either. You want to stay in the flow. You want to release drama in your life. You want to clear out anything that is unfinished in your life. These are the things necessary in letting go, to open up for the opportunity to really be free to live. Really be free to manifest your dreams and move forward. So when you release the judgment, you release the fear, the doubt, the worry. You release the lack and limitations; it gives you the opportunity to step into the abundance. A new consciousness of what is really possible for you so you can create your dreams. Do it with ease and grace. Give me an example of someone that's come to you and had an example a scenario where they couldn't let go? Well I think fear is the, I've seen a lot of cases where people are afraid. But you know I'm going to tell you about my own fear cause I want to make it more real. I was terrified to come on this show today. I was terrified. I couldn't sleep, I was tossing and turning and even though I had my own TV show where I'm on camera all the time. The thought of bringing this book forward because of the circumstances it was given to me. Under such divine circumstances it really terrified me, it scared me. You know in the night I said I got to let go of this fear and just do it anyway. So that's really a combination of step three and step four. It's that letting go and that letting go is a painful process. It's scary, it's hard, your body freaks out, your mind freaks out, you have anxiety panic attacks come from this. So do it anyway. Do it anyway. This remind me of another example, I had a friend of mines, who was a police officer in Manhattan, scared to death of heights and he had to go rescue somebody who was going to jump off of a building. So here he had this real physical fear but he did it anyway. A lot of people have fear of going to parties, just go, showing up socially. Just go, put your clothes on don't worry what you look like. The accomplishment is just getting through the door at the party. Right, or a job interview, or anything. We sabotage ourselves because we really are afraid and we're not in touch with that fear so we make up an excuse or all of a sudden we wake up with a soar throat so we can't go to the job interview. That kind of stuff manifest. Physical manifestation exactly, which is a big part of the problem so when you feel it you have an excuse and our culture makes it okay if you?re sick to have the excuse instead of facing fear and walking through it. That's the difference of people who choose to live and have the life of their dreams and people who choose to sit still and just be miserable in their fear, be miserable in their life. So it's like, it isn't easy to have a great life. It's not like it comes naturally just because we're surrounded by so many people committed to misery. Committed to the old laws and so it's very challenging to step up and say you know I can do this. I can do this. I think the first thing for me, here's a tip, is not giving power to your fear. Therefore, so don't keep talking about it. Every time you pick up the phone and you tell your mother, "oh, I don't want to go on the job interview", you tell your best friend "oh, I don't want to go", your reinforcing that you don't want to go. I mean you give power to the fear more and more so just don't talk about it. But the truth is you can have it but it doesn't have to run you. Right, you can say okay, I'm really afraid of this and this really is miserable but you know what I'm going anyway. Recognize it and let it go and that's why the release process is so important. Recognize it and let it go. You can't deny it cause than you?re resisting it and that's power. Okay, that's good."
