Hello everybody it’s Christy Whitman with the Quantum Success Show where you can get
your information and inspiration to create your desires.
If you don’t know this beautiful face you will.
I’m sure you already do.
You see I have a friend next to me.
This is the amazing Marci Shimoff.
Marci welcome to the show.
I’m so excited for you to be here.
Thank you so much Christy.
It’s so much fun to be here with you.
I just want to tell everyone about you.
Because the accomplishments you’ve made in this amazing industry that we are in is
remarkable.
You are number one New York times bestselling author of not only Happy for No Reason but
Love for no Reason.
If you have not read those two books, run, do not hide.
I mean just go immediately to bookstore.
Go on Amazon get them.
They’re amazing, amazing books.
You have written six books in the Chicken Soup for the Women’s Soul series.
You’ve sold more than 15 million copies in 33 languages of your books and you are
one of the best-selling female non-fiction authors in history.
Go Marci.
Obviously if you ever saw The Secret, she’s a featured teacher in The Secret.
One of my favorites that really hit me when I watch The Secret years ago.
She’s the narrator of the award-winning movie Happy.
And the cofounder of the wildly successful Year of Miracles.
So Marci thank you so much for being here.
Thank you Christy.
You know I just want to tell everybody how you so walk your talk.
I don’t know if you remember this that years ago when Happy for No Reason and Love for
no Reason came out and hit the New York Times bestseller list.
You sent me a plaque for each of those with my book on the New York Times bestseller list.
And those plaques still sit in my office.
So I want to thank you for being such a dear wonderful supportive person and friend.
Your welcome.
You know that’s what I love so much about this industry that were in.
The people I get to associate with and your one of them.
I didn’t say this but top people on my list of people that I love and I just adore you.
I love what you’re up to in the world and I appreciate that.
It means to world to me to hear you say that about me.
It’s very mutual Christy.
Thank you Marci.
So I love what you’ve been doing.
I’m supporting you for the last couple of years.
Because you cocreated with Deborah Poneman this amazing Year of Miracles.
So I would love to find out what do you mean by a miracle?
So Webster’s dictionary definition of a miracle is the surprising and welcome event
that can’t be explained by science.
It may have some divine grace involved.
I think of a miracle as anything from really something that you been wanting to have happen
in your life that’s been blocked, that’s been stuck that suddenly it happens.
All the way to like just those kinds of amazing stories that you think oh my God that’s
impossible.
What I’ve seen is that we can’t create miracles.
It’s not possible.
They are by divine grace.
But we can create the conditions for miracles to show up in our lives.
That’s what I’m seeing happen over and over and over again with all the people that
I’m working with.
That’s amazing.
I love it.
So what would you say is the biggest teaching point that you have?
I know that your big proponent of law of attraction.
Your books Happy for No Reason Love for no Reason I mean they really are just phenomenal
books.
I really recommend both of them.
So what would you say is your biggest thing that you teach people to get into that kind
of that receiving place of miracles?
What we call it the miracle zone.
It’s about living in the miracle zone.
So that you are in the flow with the universe.
I truly believe that the universe wants the best for us.
This is a friendly universe.
Einstein says that’s the most important question that we can ask.
Is this a friendly universe?
I believe the answer is yes.
So how do we put ourselves in that flow of the universe so that miracles show up for
us?
One of the main things that I have seen is that everybody wants their desires fulfilled.
But what’s blocking them is lack of true self-love.
When we don’t have deep self-love and I don’t mean self-esteem and in a moment I’ll
tell you the distinction.
When we have…
When we don’t have deep self-love we are literally pushing away are miracles.
We are saying on some subconscious level no, I’m not worthy of that.
No not good enough.
As long as that’s there you could be desiring your perfect mate.
You could be designing perfect career.
You could be desiring more abundance.
You could be desiring better health.
On a subconscious level you’re pushing that way.
So self-love is distinct from self-esteem.
Self-esteem is I like myself because…
I like myself because I’m a good dancer.
I like myself..
I’m good at my job.
Or I’m a nice person…
There’s nothing wrong with that.
Except that is conditional.
True self-love is this inner state of love and acceptance no matter what with our mistakes
and all.
When we have that, then we are open to fully receiving.
May I share a quick story with you about how this showed up in my life?…
Of course.
I remember gosh it was almost probably 18 or 19 years ago.
I was at a workshop of one of my great mentors and now dear friend.
Marianne Williamson….
Marianne had said during this workshop that if you make a lot of money and you don’t
raise your level of consciousness or worthiness, you will inevitably lose it.
I remember at the time thinking, no way.
If I made a ton of money I would not lose that money.
Well sure enough over the next year my books became an enormous success and tons of money
started pouring in.
I started losing money.
Bad investments, bad this and that.
Fortunately, I caught myself in enough time and I remembered…
Oh, Marianne said I needed to work on my consciousness of being able to receive and of worthiness.
Which ultimately comes back to self-love.
So I immediately started working on that and did some course correction and have been very,
very blessed.
What I see is that most people have this block…
They don’t even know it.
They are doing they think all the right things but there’s just this one thing of not enough
self-love.
So I would say the fast-track to living in the miracle zone is to really work on specific
ways tools and techniques that I would love to share on how to really open up to feel
worthy.
To feel good enough.
To let in what is…
Absolutely…
I just did a goddess weekend one of the songs that I was playing the whole weekend was from
Haley Steinfeld and is called I Love Myself.
You have to go on YouTube and listen to.
I get to love myself whether it’s day or night.
I don’t need anybody else to love myself.
It’s so true because it’s like when you allow yourself and give yourself that permission
to love yourself no matter what’s happening, no matter who’s around.
You always feel good because love always feels so good.
Like you wrote in Love for no Reason, which again is such an amazing book.
My husband since the day I met him…
I’ve always said why do you love me and he’s like for no reason.
When your book came out I was like to check out the title.
And he’s like I love it.
Because to this day he can tell me features and qualities and of course that he loves
about me but when I ask him how do you know that you love me and what you love about me
and he’s like my heart just knows.
It’s not for any particular reason.
And because he has shown me that complete unconditional love, I am able to then…
He’s been such a teacher to me to love myself in that way.
It’s a process.
It’s not like okay and I instantly love myself for no apparent reason.
It’s been a process.
But you’re right.
It’s like the more I continue to grow in that consciousness of love for myself, the
more prosperous I become.
The more impact I make.
The more money I make.
The more support I have.
The more peace I have.
The more support system I have around me.
And even the friends.
Like our friendship.
Like the type of women that I have in my life.
It just continues to expand.
It’s amazing.
You know Christy I’m so glad you’re saying this because it reminds me…
The way I ended up teaching about miracles and creating this program Year of Miracles
program that I just so love delivering is that I started waking up every morning feeling
like my life is a miracle.
Like I knew that something or that things were going to happen that day out of the blue
that I wasn’t expecting.
They were just going to be exactly what I needed to have happen.
An amazing surprises and wonderful things and every day was like that.
I’m the least likely person to have that happen as you know as a shared with you before
I was not a happy camper growing up.
I was an unhappy kid.
I was unhappy adult even.
I thought like most people that if I just worked hard enough and got all the success
that I thought I needed that I would be happy and I got all the success and I found that
I wasn’t.
So I’ve really focused on what are the clues of people that are happy and how can I apply
those?
And then more recently I realize that there are clues of people who live in the miracles
zone and what are those clues and what can I do to live in that miracles zone?
Beautiful…
Well I know that you’re going to give everybody gift of the webinar that you have.
So can you explain the three secrets to living a life filled with miracles.
So can you just share what they can expect or…
Everyone it’s below the video and just go there and click and you will be sent to Marci’s
page and you can put in your name and email to get registered and I would love for you
to share little bit about the webinar.
You bet.
So I’ve done a lot of study about these people who lived these miraculous lives and
I found that there are really some specific keys that make them different than everybody
else.
You know there’s this idea that success leaves clues.
Happiness leaves clues.
Miracles leave clues.
So what I’ve done is taken the three main secrets to living a miraculous lives and Deborah
Poneman, my business partner and I, have put together…
We’re going to do a live livestream.
You’re going to see us.
We’re going to be sharing with you those three secrets to living a miraculous life.
Along with very practical things that you can do immediately in your life to start living
more and more in the miracles zone.
I know… I think that the beginning of the year is a very special time.
You know that end of this year the beginning of next year is a very special time.
It’s a time when there is kind of the wind behind this pushing us forward into new ways
of embracing life.
So I really welcome everybody to live more of a miraculous life this coming year.
I love the teacher that you are.
Seriously your books in particular like that’s what I love about your teaching this is not
just fluff.
You give the exact practical things that have been almost like…
Not almost the scientifically proven that they work and when you start applying this
particular tips and processes and tools, it does expand you.
It has to.
It cannot not.
It’s part of the universal principles.
That’s what I just love about you as a teacher.
It’s not just talk and philosophy.
It’s practical tools that every single person can do to get the results that they are looking
for.
Thank you.
I think that’s where you and I one of the places where you and I are so aligned.
We love results.
We only want to use what really works.
We both use our own lives as an experiment.
When it works for us than we use it with other people.
We’ve had now over 60,000 people who have participated in this three secrets of a miraculous
life.
