Life Works Out For You - Do You Believe This Profound Idea?

Life Works Out For You - Do You Believe This Profound Idea?

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly discuss the concept that life works out for you. That whatever happens in life for you, it’s always for the best. Maybe there’s lessons you have to learn from adversity before you experience prosperity. John and Kelly provide a six minute clip from Joe Dispenza. He has a brilliant way of explaining the infinite intelligence of life. How you don’t always see the big picture but it’s critical to have the belief that life is working for you not against you. Always avoiding the victim mentality.

In the clip you’ll hear Joe talk about the idea of having a personal assistant who is working behind the scenes to make everything work in your life. You don’t always understand why the personal assistant is doing this or that, but you have faith that it’s all being done for your betterment. Whatever is happening is for your betterment. This is a powerful episode to listen to. Because once you embrace the idea that life inevitably works out for you, your life is never the same. It eliminates stress. 

Buy John’s book, THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it here.

About the Hosts:

John Mitchell

John’s story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn’t as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there’s a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.

When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.

His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.

John’s technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.

John Mitchell:

Welcome to The Missing Secret Podcast. I'm Kelly Hatfield, hey, and I'm John Mitchell. So we've got a good topic today. Just think about this idea. Do you believe that life works for you or against you? What do you think? Kelly, I know what you think.

Kelly Hatfield:

Yep, exactly you know what I think. I think that life works for you. And, you know, it's definitely a frame of mind, you know, to look at things through that lens. So I mean, to dig into this today,

John Mitchell:

I'm telling you this will be powerful. We're going to play a clip about five minutes of a, probably a 20 minute presentation from Joe Dispenza, and he puts it in such elegant terms, and is so clear about it. I showed it to ginger and and it blew her away, too, because most people are not believing that life works for them. And in fact, at some level, I think they often think it works against them. But rather than me pontificating more about it, Kelly, why don't you play it, and then we're going to dive into it once we hear what Joe Dispenza has to say, perfect.

Joe:

I want you to close your eyes for just a moment. I want you to imagine waking up tomorrow morning with absolute certainty that everything in your life is going to work out perfectly, not because you have all the answers, not because you can see the future, but because you've made a fundamental decision about how you're going to show up in this world. You've decided to act as if everything always works out. And here's what I know to be true, when you make that decision, when you embody that energy, when you step into that version of yourself, magic starts happening in ways you never thought possible. Right now, as I'm speaking to you. There are millions of people around the world living in fear. They're paralyzed by uncertainty. They're stuck in patterns of thinking that keep them small, keep them safe, keep them exactly where they are. But you're here listening to this which tells me something about you. It tells me you're ready for something different. You're ready to step into a new way of being. You're ready to discover what happens when you stop operating from fear and start operating from faith in the process of life itself. I've spent years studying human behavior, understanding how the mind works, how our beliefs shape our reality, and how the energy we carry determines the experiences we attract. And what I've discovered will revolutionize the way you think about your problems, your challenges and your entire approach to living the most successful people, the happiest people, the people who seem to have this magical ability to turn everything they touch into opportunity. They all share one common trait. They act as if everything always works out, even when they can't see how. Think about the last time something didn't go according to your plan. Maybe you didn't get that job you wanted. Maybe a relationship ended unexpectedly, maybe a business venture failed. Maybe you faced a health challenge that turned your world upside down. In that

Joe:

moment, you had two choices. You could either collapse into victim mode, telling yourself stories about how unfair life is, how nothing ever works out for you, how you're destined to struggle, or you could take a different approach. You could ask yourself, What if this is exactly what needs to happen for me to get to where I'm supposed to be? I'm not talking about positive thinking. I'm not talking about pretending that challenges don't exist or that pain isn't real. I'm talking about something much more powerful. I'm talking about developing an unshakable belief in the intelligence of life itself, when you truly understand that every experience, every setback, every unexpected turn, is part of a larger pattern that's always working in your favor. Everything changes. Your stress levels drop, your decision making improves. Your creativity explodes, your relationships transform your entire life becomes an adventure instead of a struggle. But here's where most people get it wrong. They think acting as if everything works out means sitting back and waiting for life to deliver their dreams on a silver platter. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about taking inspired action from a place of trust, instead of desperate action from a place of fear, when you act as if everything works out, you show up differently. You take risks that others won't take. You persist. When others give up. You see opportunities where others see obstacles. Let me share something with you. That changed my entire perspective on failure. Every single thing that you currently label as a failure in your life has actually been redirecting you towards something better. Think about it. That job you didn't get led you to the one you have now. That relationship that ended made space for the one that's coming. That business that failed taught you lessons you needed to learn before the next one succeeds. That health scare motivated you to take better care of yourself.

Joe:

Everything that looks like a setback is actually a setup for something greater when you start to see life through this lens. When you start to trust the process, even when you can't see the outcome, something miraculous happens. You stop forcing things. You stop trying to control every variable. You stop exhausting yourself trying to push rivers uphill. Instead, you learn to flow with the current of life, making adjustments along the way, but always trusting that you're heading in the right direction. I want you to imagine for a moment that you have a personal assistant who is incredibly intelligent, has access to information you don't have, can see around corners you can't see around and whose only job is to orchestrate your life in a way that leads to your highest good. This assistant is working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, connecting dots, arranging meetings, creating opportunities, removing obstacles and setting up experiences that will help you grow, learn and become the person you're meant to be. The only catch is that this assistant doesn't consult with you about every decision. Sometimes what looks like a mistake or a delay or a detour is actually your assistant clearing the path for something much better. This is exactly how life works. When you act as if everything always works out, you start to see the intelligence behind the seeming chaos. You start to trust that there's a bigger picture you're not seeing. You start to relax into the flow of your life, instead of constantly swimming against the current. Now I know what some of you are thinking. You're thinking that sounds great in theory, but you don't know my situation. You don't know what I'm dealing with you don't know how bad things really are, and you're right. I don't know the specifics of your situation, but here's what I do. Know, every single person who has ever achieved anything meaningful has faced moments where everything looked impossible. Every entrepreneur has

Joe:

faced bankruptcy, every artist has faced rejection, every leader has faced opposition.

Unknown:

Powerful, right? Yeah, absolutely so.

John Mitchell:

So what was your what is your take on that? What just what hits you, coming right out of that,

Kelly Hatfield:

I think coming right out of that, one of the things that I wrote down is taking, like, inspired action from a place of of faith, yeah, you know, instead of taking action from a place of fear, you know, or inaction because you're in of plates of fear. But what, what just resonates with me is that this is how, you know, this is kind of the lens that I look through. I am that person that's like, Okay, I'm going through a really difficult time right now. What am I supposed to be learning? Right? Like, What am I, you know, or if I'm going through something similar that I've gone through before, I'm like, What did I not learned the last time that you are telling me to learn again, right? One didn't stick, you know, or, you know, so I am, you know, always looking at things through that lens in where that's happening for me, like, Okay, I just got anytime, you know, I'm so lucky. And I think part of this comes from sports, too, and you know, you know, it was like, anytime I failed, anytime I didn't, it was like, Okay, I just got a little bit better, right? Because of what I learned as the result of having that, you know, quote, unquote failure, whatever that was. And so, everything that he's saying, I can't wait to watch the rest of it, you know, I'm going to go in and watch the rest of that right there, what he has to say beyond that. But no, it just really resonates with me, because I can't imagine. And we talk to people all the time, and I know people in my life that are like this, who from that victim? Yeah, right. We who look at like, oh, you know, what's next, you know, yeah, yeah, the next instead of, like, Okay, what's next?

Kelly Hatfield:

Yeah, you know, like, claim words different attitude, yeah, totally. I can't imagine living that other way and how exhausting and how depressing and how, you know, I don't know what's the word debilitating. Would be to feel like the cards are stacked against you and life's happening to you, and that you don't have control, like to me living that way, you know, and thinking about living that way makes me sad. You know that there's so people that live like

John Mitchell:

That Well, like you just said, people have an attitude that's that life is happening to me versus life is is working for me. Yeah, and I remember back when I was probably in my mid 40s, very difficult time in my life. The US government accused me of something I didn't do. It was very difficult. I got through it and kicked their ass, by the way, but proud of kicking the US government's ass on that. But I remember going through it and I'm thinking, I don't know if this whole thing works out. I don't, I don't just, I just just don't know if life works out. I didn't know that it did. I didn't know that it didn't. I just remember having that, that thought I see how powerful it is, and really, in the last, oh, I don't know, I guess last 15 years, I see how, how true this is, that life, like life, works out for me, for all of us, really. And I just saw this the other I'll just show you an example of this. So I get a email from Joe Vitale. Do you know who Joe Vitale is? Yeah, yeah, he was, he was involved with the secret, which, for our younger audience, you may not remember what the secret is, but basically, it came from thinking bro rich. It's is like, imagine whatever you want, and imagine every day, and it'll come to you. Of course, I thought that was very unenlightened. I mean, at one level enlightened, and one level very unenlightened, because not only do you have to see what you want, but you got to see how you're going to get it, but, but, and Oprah was behind this, and it was a big deal. They had movie on it, big deal, and Joe Vitale was part of it. So last week, Joe Vitale bought my book through. Well, I do remember who referred him. And so he buys a book, and he starts doing the algorithm. He has trouble with it. Now, we never have problems with people doing the algorithm. It just, you know, it's just, it just works. I just had my 40 students in my class do it. Not one of them had a problem with it. But as life turns out, Joe

John Mitchell:

did, and I was really sort of looking forward to having a discussion with him, because he's enlightened and and all that. But it worked out that that way, and I apologize that it didn't work for him, but I also saw him like, oh, that's just life telling me one meant to be no problem, yeah. And whereas you could go, boy, he's got millions of followers and and this could be such an opportunity for for think it be it, I'm not. I don't look at it that way. I'm like, Hey, think of B is going to be, whatever it's going to be. And I'm, I'm blessed to be in front of a lot of people. And so if it didn't work out with Joe, it wasn't meant to be. And but there's such power in realizing that life is is working for you, not against you.

Kelly Hatfield:

Yeah, no, I love that because, you know, and now we talk about wisdom all the time, as we age and all of that, but one of the things now that we know is that you'll be able to look back on him and that experience and know that because that happened, yeah, another door opened up, and that's the one you were supposed to be, you know, connected to, or whatever the case may be. So I love, you know, I love you know what you're saying there, because it's so it's so true. It's just okay. So that wasn't supposed to that wasn't supposed to happen. It just means there's something else there, you know, well, there's this phrase that I use that's similar to life is happening for you. But you know, because it, because it goes with both the good things that are coming and the bad things, you know, or the things that aren't great, and that is that what's meant for me is moving toward me, you know, like what's meant for me is moving into my life. And so that could mean a lesson that I need to write. There's a purpose for you know, what's meant for me, you know, is coming into my life, you know, on its own, like I, you know, through the different actions that I'm taking and that kind of thing. But so when I and I believe that, and so when something comes up and there's adversity, I'm like, okay, like, this is meant for me. For some reason I'm supposed to go through this, you know, make sure you don't miss, you know what that you're. Supposed to get from this experience or this, whatever the case may be. And so I love what you're saying there. There's one more thing I wanted to say that, because in the video we just watched, Joe Dispenza mentioned this, and you just touched on it very, very briefly when you were talking about the secret where you know, initially it kind of felt woo, woo. In one way, it's another way, it's not, and I think Joe said something, and it's along the lines of, obviously, what think it be it's all about, which is, you can't just, like,

Kelly Hatfield:

hope that things are going to get better, right, right when, I mean, like, you're going through right time. You can't just curl into the fetal position and hope that this thing is going to pass, you know, you've got to, you know, take action and work your way through it. And that's the beautiful part about having this mindset, is that it helps you take, like Keith said, inspired action, right? Place of faith that you're supposed to be going through

John Mitchell:

this, right? Well, like you said a minute ago, that I thought was pretty profound. You know, if you have a a victim mentality, then that mentality reflects life works against me. Yeah, that's just another way of saying it. And there's a lot of people that have the victim mentality, and it's a lousy way to live.

Kelly Hatfield:

It is, and I like and I know also, and this was one of the points that Joe was making toward the end, right before we paused, was like, we're not taking away from anybody's experience in that you are going through difficult things. Yeah, right, difficult things. That's called life. Every one of us goes through, you know, challenging and difficult situations and really hard to navigate, situations that you know. That's not the point you know of or it is the point. I guess it's the way that you frame and look at that. Are you the one that is? Woe is me. You know, nothing ever goes in my favor. You know, life hard, God, what's next? What's going to happen next? You know? Yeah, and it's like, okay, boy, you just invited the universe and just show you what's going to happen next. And that's all like energy. You know, that's all like energetically and everything. You know, when you look at the world that way, as a victim, it's the whole thing that we talk about all the time with energy too, right? What energy you put out if you act like a victim? Guess what your outcome and life is going to throw more you know, stuff, your direction. Got a more problem, your problems your direction that, you know, it's just the way it works. If you act like a victim, people are going to treat you like one, right, you know? And that's how that is, what your world is going to be like, you know? And right? That's the interesting part about this, is it's, again, that exchange of energy. If you're like, Okay, you know, I can, like, I've been through hard things before. You know, like, I can do this too. You know, let's do this. What's right? How do we move through this? What actions are we going to take? Because I know this is going to work out, because everything always does well.

John Mitchell:

And I love the analogy he talked about having that personal assistant that's working in the background. And the reality is, there's so much you don't know about what's going on around you in terms of what's best for you and what lessons you have to learn. You don't, you're not privy to all that. There's a whole world out there that you don't so you can't fit the pieces together, because you're living that piece right now, but the puzzle is much bigger than you. And I'll tell you something that that this. This may sound a little Woo, woo, but I think it's very true. You know, Einstein talks about how there are multiple dimensions. There's more dimensions than we currently know of. And fact, he projects that there's, I think, additional six dimensions. And one of the things, I think that sort of proves this is is, ESP, has been proven to exist. It is proven to exist. We don't know how it works. But when you look at the science of extra sensory perception and with things that are going on, they can prove that that it exists, but they don't know how it works well. I mean, even even Elon Musk today is showing how the just the power of thought can by implanting a chip in a person's head. Through their thought, they can move move a cursor on a computer. So power of thought is very real, and I would dare say, especially with AI, because this thing is moving at warp speed now, and this, I think this could happen as soon as 10 or 15 or 20 years. We're going to discover this other dimension, and it's going to change the world. And we're going to, you know, he talks about, in the in the video, Joe does about the Infinite Intelligence of life. I believe. We have no clue about how sophisticated and complicated and incredibly beautiful life works and is, but we're going to start seeing that as as we get more enlightened and realize there's another dimension. And I think it's going to So prove like what we we teach an actual way to influence your mindset,

John Mitchell:

because your mind mindset is creating the thoughts, and your thoughts are creating your reality. And so I don't know, but I love that, that statement, the intelligence of life. And I guess the lesson from all of this is just, just embrace this idea that life works for you. I just adjusted my live GPS template last week to put this I've been living it, but I just said it a little differently and said it just like he said it in the video. And it just feels good when you start doing that. And I see with me personally, so many things, so many micro things that happen in my life, as with all of us, don't go exactly like I want. I'm like, no problem, no problem. What's what's next? In fact, gotten in this habit. I don't know if you you're like this. I went through this period about a week ago where every technology thing would pay off. And, you know, I mean, I had a lot that I was doing, and I ever and it just, it was irritating that every time I touch a technology thing, it wouldn't, it wouldn't work. And, and I, I used to get mad about I verbalize it.

Kelly Hatfield:

And as you may have known, I did. I remember one or two of those,

John Mitchell:

Right, right, right, and now I'm like you, that does no good all verbalizing you get mad at because I don't really get mad at anything. But technology, verbalizing, it only amplifies my negative feelings. And I'm like, that doesn't serve me. And I've gotten in the in the habit lately of, first of all, not verbalizing at all anything that that is displeasing to me. And I'm always, I'm always like, what next? That's the question. So yes, that didn't work. I'm irritated by it, but let's focus on what next, because staying irritated on it does no good. But I don't know that I I thought you'd find that interesting. But again, the lesson as we wrap up today is just as you as you put your head on the pillow tonight, just think about maybe adjusting your attitude to life. Maybe it's how you articulate it in your life, GPS template. But just embrace the idea that life is working for you, not against you. So until next time we will see you.
