Ten years ago, I was buried in debt, two homes in foreclosure, and addicted to drugs, alcohol, and destructive patterns. I had no purpose, no clarity, and no sense of where my life was headed. Today, I am married to the woman of my dreams, raising a beautiful son, living in my dream home, and leading a business that has generated more than $40 million while helping thousands of people transform their lives. The shift from that broken man to the one writing these words didn’t happen by accident. It came from a creative process—a way of co-creating with God and aligning with the intelligence of the universe—that I now want to share with you.

The Desire That Begins It All

Every change in life begins with desire. Desire is not frivolous—it’s sacred. It is the catalyst for transformation. Without desire, there is no forward motion, no vision, no call to adventure. Joseph Campbell described this moment as the boredom with the status quo, the moment the hero is called to leave the familiar and embark on the journey. Desire is that call. And whether your desire is for financial security, love, health, or purpose, it begins the journey of creation.

When I was single for over a decade, lonely and unsure if I would ever meet my partner, I reached a point where the desire became clear: I wanted to find my soulmate. That desire was the spark. The same was true when I was drowning in financial insecurity. I desired freedom from anxiety and prosperity instead of debt. Desire doesn’t need to be complicated. Often it is simply the opposite of what we no longer want to experience.

Desire and Decision Are Twins

A desire, when owned, becomes a decision. To desire wealth is to decide for wealth. To desire health is to decide for health. To desire love is to decide for love. Most people kill their desires by arguing with them. They say, “I’d love more money, but no one in my family has ever had it.” Or, “I’d love to meet my soulmate, but I’ve been single too long.” The arguments extinguish the spark. The truth is, you don’t need to know how it will happen. You only need to make the decision and hold it long enough for life to begin organizing around it.

When I decided in December of 2012 that I would meet a beautiful Colombian woman and make her my wife, I had no idea how that could possibly happen. Two weeks later, I met Carol, who is now my wife and the mother of my son. That is the power of desire combined with decision.

Life Organizes Around Your Decisions

The moment you make a decision, life begins to reorganize itself. New thoughts arrive, new people cross your path, synchronicities occur, and ideas begin to flow. Your brain is like a receiver tuned to a new frequency, and that frequency broadcasts into what you might call the unified field, God, or universal intelligence. In return, life starts to send back opportunities aligned with your decision.

For me, the night I met Carol was filled with what most would call coincidences. It was my friend’s birthday. I went to Sarasota to celebrate. I brought another friend who admitted he was nervous speaking to women. In that moment, I wanted to encourage him, so I walked over to three women nearby. One of them was Carol. The probability may have seemed impossible, but it was inevitable—because my decision had already been made.

The Nonlinear Path of Creation

Here’s the part most people miss: the path to your desire is rarely straight. It’s winding, nonlinear, and filled with steps that may not make sense in the moment. When I started dating again after ten years alone, I had several encounters that didn’t work out. At first, I was tempted to believe this meant my desire was impossible. But each experience was part of the process. They were stepping stones leading me toward the outcome I had already chosen.

In business, too, the path has been anything but straight. We scaled to more than $25 million, then faced contraction as algorithms shifted and costs rose. For a season, I wasn’t even paying myself. It looked like failure. But in hindsight, those contractions were pruning moments. They cleared space for deeper strategies, new alignment, and eventual expansion that was stronger than ever. This is the rhythm of creation—expansion and contraction. Neither is final. Both are necessary.

Holding the Vision While Living the Present

One of the greatest challenges I see with high-performing entrepreneurs is balancing the business they have today with the business they envision for tomorrow. The same is true for life. How do you live fully in the present while holding a vision for something more? The temptation is to believe the present is in the way of the future. But the truth is, the present moment is the raw material of your future. Your job is not to figure out how to get to the future—it is to enjoy the present and notice when pieces of the future begin to insert themselves here and now.

This realization changed everything for me. I stopped fighting with time. I stopped believing that life was in the way of life. Instead, I began to relax into the process, trusting that the future would reveal itself in my present moment. A new thought, a conversation, a partnership, an idea—these became the breadcrumbs of my vision unfolding.

The Present Moment as God’s Will

I’ve come to see the present moment as God’s will for me. Not because it’s perfect or free of challenge, but because it contains exactly what I need right now to continue becoming who I’m meant to be. When I push against the present—when I complain, resist, or try to force the future—I move into stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. I slip into coping mechanisms that never serve me: overworking, numbing, distracting. But when I relax into the present and trust that what I need will arrive, I feel peace. And from peace, creation flows.

This doesn’t mean passivity. It means alignment. It means living in gratitude for what is while being open to what is coming. It means noticing the inspired thought and taking action without needing to control every outcome.

The Practice of Remembering

Do I always live in this state? No. I forget all the time. But forgetting is part of the process. Just like meditation is not about silencing the mind but about noticing when the mind has wandered, creation is not about being perfect but about remembering. Each time I notice I’ve slipped into stress, I practice returning. Each time I forget, the act of remembering builds a new nervous system, a new identity, a new version of me.

In recovery, I had to learn that falling short wasn’t failure—it was training. Every time I relapsed, every time I tried to run from pain, the eventual return was a new rep toward the man I was becoming. It’s the same in wealth, relationships, health, and purpose. Forgetting is not the end. Remembering is the path.

Building Your Kingdom

What we’re really doing through this process is building an empire—not of wealth alone, but of wholeness. The empire is the full expression of who you are, taking your rightful place as king or queen of your life. And you don’t build it through manipulation, grinding, or pretending. You build it by dreaming, deciding, desiring, and then allowing God and the universe to put the pieces in place.

When you love the bank account you have, you create the bank account you love. When you love the body you have, you create the body you love. When you love the relationship you have, you create the relationship you love. Creation begins not with dissatisfaction but with gratitude. Gratitude makes you available for more.

The Elegant Simplicity of Creation

I look at my life today and I’m astonished. Ten years ago, I couldn’t have imagined this reality. And yet, here I am, living in the home of my dreams, raising my son, leading a business that changes lives. It didn’t happen overnight. It didn’t happen without setbacks. But it happened because I kept desiring, deciding, and returning to the present moment. And because I trusted that God was always working on my behalf, even when I couldn’t see the plan.

You don’t have to wait ten years to change your life. Change happens along the way. One year in, my life was already radically better. Two years in, I was debt-free and dating the woman who would become my wife. Creation is not a single destination—it’s a journey. And every twist, every contraction, every apparent setback is part of the unfolding.

So wherever you are right now, remember this: your desire is sacred. Your decision is powerful. Your present moment is enough. And the future you long for is already finding its way to you. Trust it. Relax into it. And watch as the improbable becomes inevitable.
