I wasn't sure if I should share this online, but it's too good not to and it highlights a hugely important message. At Oversubscribed (our marketing agency that helps entrepreneurs raise their profile online), I often talk about sharing the journey and being transparent. Hopefully this more personal blog post is well received and a change from my property investing or wealth blogs.
Before I jump into this blog - I want to thank the team at Oversubscribed for helping me pull these blogs together and support with my social content creation. If you are interested in raising your profile online, head over to Oversubscribed.
This is totally nuts and probably my favourite blog post I've ever written.
Background:
When I was 15 years old, I was super lucky to be taken on a holiday by a friend. When I was on holiday we went on his yacht which was the most incredible experience for me. Before this I had never seen or experienced anything like this and it totally opened my eyes to another way of living. Having a friend with a yacht wasn't normal for where I grew up and he is still the only person I know who owns one.
While on the yacht at 15 years old, I made a decision that one day I would take my mum away on holiday and have a similar experience. This was one of the huge motivators that kept me pushing hard within my businesses for almost 10 years.
Zoom forward 14 years:
14 years on from when I first had this vision, last Christmas I was able to take my mum and some of my family on holiday and go on a yacht in Dubai. This was a special day and something I'd dreamt of for years.
Here are a couple of images of that day:
This is where it gets spooky:
So a couple of weeks ago I was on the photos on my phone and it happened to be on a tab where you can see your photos by the year. The first ever photo on my phone from 2012 was the one below:
I can't really remember why I had this on my phone (totally forgot it was on there), but I think it was for a vision board I used to have (got a different vision board now). I would have just Googled the word 'yacht' most likely.
This is where it gets REALLY spooky:
I thought the yacht looked similar to the one we went on. After zooming in and looking at the number printed on the side, it turned out to be EXACTLY the same yacht I had on my phone from 9 years before. When I downloaded the image at 21 years old on my phone, it could have been any yacht, any yacht hire company in any country. But we ended up on exactly the same yacht from the photo I downloaded almost nine years before.
Law of attraction or just pure chance:
Before this I was aware of the law of attraction. If you don't know what it is, watch this (it could change your life). Now I 100% believe the law of attraction is a real thing without question.
As you probably know, I am a huge fan of vision boards and encourage everyone to have one. I wanted to share this in the hope that someone reading this makes a plan, makes it visual and achieves it.
In case anyone thinks this is the work of photoshop - here's the screen recording from my phone:
Maybe it's just pure chance, but I believe it's law of attraction and why writing down/visualising your goals is important. Appreciate your time reading this!
