When asked what you do for a living, do you squirm, fidget, or evade? I do. I write Notes from the Universe for a living and I send them to e-mail subscribers five days a week, for free. Doesn't quite have the same ring as doctor, lawyer, or accountant, even butcher, baker, or candlestick maker. And it never quite impresses the way I once thought it might.

Nevertheless, writing for the Universe has taught me a number of things about myself and the creative process, and for this third installment of the trilogy, I thought I'd share a little of it, as these lessons have a number of applications to the rest of my life, and perhaps will to yours as well.

First, I'm better than I usually give myself credit for. There's hardly been a time in the past eight years when I consistently felt that I've been writing well, or as well as I could. In fact, more often than not, I've felt like I was in a slump. But every now and then a funny thing happens. For some reason or other I have to rummage through the old archives, and lo...I can't seem to find when the last lull was, as I'm quite impressed with what I read.

Interestingly, and I hate to admit this, I'll then think, "Wow, I wish I were writing like that now!" Only to discover, several months later, that I actually was. And this has gone on for quite some time, perpetually feeling like today's creativity pales compared to yesterday's.

However slow I've been to learn my lesson, I really have been paying attention. In writing, just as in all areas of my life, I'm usually much better than I give myself credit for at the time, and I'm quite sure you are, too.

Second, just because I don't know what I'm going to write doesn't mean I shouldn't start. Inspiration to write, or to do anything else, usually comes after, not before, we physically begin the journey -- no matter what kind of journey it is. Don't wait for your ducks to line up first because they never do, not until you start. Even a momma duck knows this. Her ducklings are hither and yon until she starts her journey, at which point they scramble to catch up and fall in line. The same is true of our own ducks.

And last, happy and joyful thoughts physically change the material world. My creative process for writing is modeled after what I share with audiences for manifesting change in their lives. First, define and imagine what you want in terms of the end result, preferably emotionally. Second, take action toward that end result to ramp-up belief in your success and to put yourself in a place of receivership for the manifestation.

For step one, I visualize for a minute or two before each writing session. In my mind, I feel the joy. Physically, I pump my fists, wave my palms, and let out a loud, "Whooooohooooooo..." and whatnot.

Step two comes by typing the first words that pop into my mind once I finish visualizing. This is a bit challenging, since often those words don't make much sense, nor will they necessarily be used, but I've found that by physically taking action toward the vision I imagine, the ideas, creativity, and insights I need eventually burst forth. This is very simply because the end result I put forth (feeling joy) cannot physically become real unless I write really well. And I cannot write really well without such bursts of divine inspiration.

In the end, I'm physically whooping up a storm because before my very eyes I've witnessed thoughts becoming things in the form of word combinations and sentences that have never before existed, to be sent out as an e-mail, later to be bound into a book, and, finally, to be reflected in smiles on faces all over the world, even long after my time in space has come and gone. And this is exactly the kind of tangible difference your own happiness can make, whether or not you write.

Still, these days, more often than not, I tell enquiring minds that "I do a little writing, I do a little speaking..." and politely change the subject.

From AudioFile
The author reads his work in an authoritative voice shaded with humor and clarity. Dooley reminds listeners of commonly held truths through clever admonitions, such as if we want to be loved, we must act loving, and the real danger is settling for less. He uses seamless narratives to explain such beliefs as it's best not to have everything and every crisis carries seeds of opportunity. He advises listeners not to pray in question marks, but to pray in "thank you's." He also embraces New Age thinking when he discusses the life-transforming power of words and mantras. Spiritual-sounding music separates these offerings--some of which are insightful, others of which lack originality. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

Another inspiring book from Mike Dooley (aka the Universe)
Mike Dooley continues to inspire with the Notes from the Universe series. In this third book, he continues with his message that "thoughts are things" and if you can imagine it and visualize it, you can have it.

The books contain a series of "notes" from the Universe that are intended to remind us of who we really are and to inspire us to live the life of our dreams. An example of a note I liked from this third book is:

***It's one kind of victory to slay a beast, move a mountain, and cross a chasm. But it's another kind altogether to realize that the beast and the mountain and the chasm were of your own design.***

My favorite book is Dooley's first "Notes from the Universe" book (some of the notes made me laugh out loud), but I also really loved his second book, and this third one is definitely worth reading, too. I'd recommend reading all 3 of them! They're quick, they're inspiring and they'll make you smile.

Even More Notes From the Universe
As always, Mike Dooley comes through with another great book. You can open the book to any page anytime and find an inspiration. I don't know how he keeps coming up with these things, but I hope he never stops. Although he writes the words, you forget that it is him because it feels like the Universe is talking directly to you. I really like all of Mike's books and CD sets. You can listen to the CDs over and over and get something new every time. I highly recommend all of Mike Dooley's work and his web site, www.tut.com. All you need is an open mind and Mike will do the rest.
