You Were Created on Purpose
Let’s start with a powerful truth: you were created on purpose, for a purpose. If you need proof, remember this—when you were conceived, there were about 300 million sperm racing toward one egg. And you won the race. Out of hundreds of millions, you were the one who made it here. That alone should remind you that your life has meaning, intention, and a unique purpose.
You weren’t an accident. You were chosen, equipped, and born with something this world needs. That spark you feel inside—the dream, the calling, the creative vision—it’s not random. It’s divine.
Energy Creates Your Reality
I know this might sound a little “woo woo” at first. I thought the same thing years ago. But once you understand it, you’ll never look at your days—or your life—the same way again.
The truth is: your energy creates your reality.
Everything you think, feel, and focus on is quietly shaping the experiences you attract. That’s not just spirituality—it’s science. Physics shows us that the atoms that make up your body are 99% energy and only 1% matter. You are, at your core, energy in motion.
When you understand that you are energy, it changes everything.
Energy, Vibration, and Frequency Explained
So what does that actually mean in everyday life? Let’s break down three key concepts you’ll hear again and again: energy, vibration, and frequency.
⚫ Energy is what you’re made of—your body, your thoughts, your emotions, all in constant motion.
⚫ Vibration is the signal you’re always broadcasting, based on your thoughts, moods, and beliefs.
⚫ Frequency is the “station” you’re tuned into, determined by your emotional state.
Think of yourself like a radio. If you’re tuned to a high-frequency station—joy, gratitude, creativity, love—you’ll attract more experiences that match that frequency. If you’re tuned to a low-frequency station—fear, shame, scarcity—you’ll see more of that reflected in your life.
This isn’t magic. It’s alignment. It’s resonance.
You Are a Magnet
Wayne Dyer said it best:
“You don’t get what you want. You get what you are.”
You can say you want abundance, love, or success—but if your energy is rooted in fear, lack, or unworthiness, you’re not a match for those things. The universe doesn’t respond to your words. It responds to your energy.
You are like a magnet. Whatever station you’re tuned into, you draw more of it toward you. Want more joy? Align with joy. Want more creativity? Live in creativity. Want more abundance? Shift into gratitude and possibility.
You don’t fake it—you realign.
Realignment Over Force
So how do you shift your vibration? It’s not about pushing or forcing. It’s about realignment.
When your energy feels heavy, stuck, or fearful, you can gently guide it back into a higher frequency with small practices:
⚫ Move your body: dance, stretch, walk, or even sing your favorite song.
⚫ Practice gratitude: not just listing things, but truly feeling it in your body.
⚫ Feed your mind with uplifting content: read, listen, or watch something that inspires you.
⚫ Surround yourself with people who lift you higher.
⚫ Do activities that light you up and make you lose track of time.
Each small shift is like adjusting your dial to a better-feeling station. And from there, opportunities, ideas, and creativity flow naturally.
Awareness Is the Light Switch
For a long time, I heard words like energy, vibration, and frequency from teachers like Cathy Heller, Bob Proctor, and Wayne Dyer. But honestly? For the first couple of years, they went in one ear and out the other. I wasn’t ready to receive them.
Then, something shifted. Awareness landed. Suddenly, I could feel what they were talking about. And once that light switch turned on, I couldn’t turn it off.
Awareness is everything. If you don’t notice your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, you’ll keep creating from them unconsciously. But once you see them, you can change them. Awareness opens the door to transformation.
What You Put In Shapes What Comes Out
Life is like a mirror. What you put into yourself determines what reflects back.
If you constantly consume fear-based media, compare yourself on social platforms, or tell yourself negative stories, your energy starts to match that input. And you’ll see more of it reflected in your life.
But if you fill your mind with gratitude, truth, hope, creativity, and possibility—even in small doses—you raise your vibration. You start to notice opportunities you couldn’t see before.
As Wayne Dyer said:
“Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.”
Mindset, Energy & Business
This doesn’t just apply to personal life—it affects your creativity and your business too.
⚫ When you operate from scarcity, you underprice your work and doubt your value.
⚫ When you live in fear, you procrastinate on your best ideas.
⚫ When you shift into abundance and joy, you attract customers and opportunities who match that energy.
Your mindset, energy, and focus are not just “nice extras.” They are strategy. They are the foundation for growth.
Gratitude, Intention & Creation
Spiritual teachers often remind us: “Where your attention goes, your energy flows.” Deepak Chopra teaches that intention is the seed of creation, and attention is what waters it.
That means your intentions matter. Your focus matters. Your attention feeds the energy of your life.
If you give your attention to fear, you grow fear. If you give your attention to gratitude and creativity, you grow more of it. It’s not about ignoring hard realities—it’s about choosing which reality you will magnify.
God’s Design for Your Life
I believe with my whole heart that God doesn’t plant desires in you by accident. The dream you carry was given to you for a reason.
And not only does He give you the dream, He gives you the resources, opportunities, and wisdom to bring it to life. Your passion is the spark. Your purpose is how that spark blesses others.
As Jay Shetty says:
“Your passion is for you. Your purpose is for others.”
The World Is Different Now
We live in a time unlike any before. In 2025, opportunities are endless: e-commerce, digital products, online courses, creative communities. Things that didn’t even exist twenty years ago can now support entire careers.
That means your dream—even if it seems too far-fetched or too niche—is possible. It might even be the very thing you were created to do.
I’ve seen it firsthand in my own journey. When I told people I wanted to build a life through crochet, many smiled politely but didn’t believe it. That’s okay. My dream wasn’t given to them—it was given to me. And it’s my job to nurture it into reality.
The same is true for you.
Your One Wild and Precious Life
Mary Oliver’s famous line asks:
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
That question stops me every time. Because it’s so easy to drift on autopilot, playing small or safe. But life is miraculous. Rare. Sacred.
And once you realize that, you start asking new questions:
⚫ What energy am I living in most of the time?
⚫ What am I feeding my mind and heart each day?
⚫ What stories am I telling myself about what’s possible?
The answers to those questions will quietly shape your future.
Practical Tools to Raise Your Vibration
Here are practices you can weave into your daily life to elevate your mindset and energy:
⚫ Begin the day with gratitude journaling or affirmations.
⚫ Move your body daily to release stuck energy.
⚫ Create something—crochet, write, paint, or cook. Creativity lifts vibration.
⚫ Replace doom-scrolling with uplifting podcasts or music.
⚫ Reflect each evening on what you loved, learned, or felt proud of.
These practices may feel simple, but they change everything when done consistently.
Final Reminder
Here’s what I want you to remember: you are powerful. You are magnetic. You were created for a reason.
Your mindset, energy, and focus are quietly crafting your life, moment by moment. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to take the next step in faith, in creativity, in alignment.
Raise your vibration. Believe you’re worthy. Tune into the frequency of joy, gratitude, and abundance. And then go do something brave with your one wild and precious life.
The world is waiting for what only you can create.
