How many of us have chased love, only to find it eluding us? The journey of love isn't about pursuit, but about finding our frequency and letting love manifest. Join me, your host Mike, and learn from my personal experiences. I offer a soul-stirring tale of transitioning from a desperate chase for love to a place of self-love and appreciation for the beauty of the world, paving the way for love and happiness to naturally attract to me.
We'll explore the complexities of relationships, from unrequited love to the revelation that not all engagements lead to true love. I will share how hitting rock bottom led to a shift in my life and a surprising blind date that taught me that love often shows up in the most unexpected places. We'll even delve into the power of dreams and the unexpected connections they can lead to.
Lastly, we'll discuss the transformative power of communication, understanding, and growth. I'll share how these principles have strengthened my marriage, and we'll explore the concept of manifesting dreams and creating abundance, providing real-life examples of these principles in action. Remember, you hold the power to shape your own reality. Tune in and discover how!

I Won't sell a life-changers and this is Mike. So welcome back everybody and I just want to say I love everybody. I love you guys. So thanks for all our listeners. Let's make this podcast go viral. Let's spread it around, you know. Let's let everybody know who we're about and we're changing lives. And if anybody has questions, please feel free. If you're listening to it on as a podcast anywhere, you can send us a quick email at lifechangers mic at gmailcom. That's lifechangers mic at gmailcom and we can get back to you and you know, let you know what's going on or if you have anything you want us to talk about. You know any questions or anything like that. But let's get to the meat of the bone, me to the bone. Bone on the meat.
Speaker 1:I don't know, as you can tell, I'm alone in studio, but today I Want to talk about love. I mean, what does love have to do with it? A lot of popular questions everybody asks about when it comes to love. Attraction is how to manifest money, wealth and all that, and I talked about that a lot but love and I haven't really talked about that too much. So I'm gonna talk a little bit about my journey trying to find love and you know, going through life and thinking you found love, thinking you understand what love is, but you really don't know. And tell you know, oh, but, like a lot of you are thinking like, okay, you know, I want to manifest my love, tell me how to do it. You know, I already did tell you how to do all that kind of stuff. Is you got to stop forcing it, stop chasing love and let love come to you, find the frequency of love and in order to do that, you have to love yourself and start loving those around you and just love everybody and love everything and Just know, and you know, step into the reality, right that you have, where you already found love, and act like it and step into it and stop chasing it and let it flow to you.
Speaker 1:Because, like I mentioned many times in different podcasts, you know, when I was younger, I would be chasing money, chasing business, chasing love, chasing this chase and chase, chase, chase, and that's all what seems like we do here in this world is just chase, chase, chase, chase. But the moment you stop chasing, everything just comes to you and I'm sure a lot of people listening right now going, okay, I found love. Well, you still listen, because it's not just about trying to find it, it's about keeping it and letting it grow, and grow beyond your wildest dreams and imaginations. Because when you think you find something or you try to control something, you just realize that there's so much more out there. And the saying is true. It sounds crazy, but if you love something, let it go, and if it comes back you know it's true love. But it's really is true that if you just Let it go, let love go, let love just be love and just flow and just absorb it as it comes your way. And you know, in my younger years, when I was trying to find love, right, I'm like I need, I need a girlfriend or I need to find a wife. So start going around looking for people. Hey, I was going to date and just, you know, not letting love just flow and just be like forcing it, and it never came my way.
Speaker 1:Intel, one faithful day when I stopped chasing love Me, my buddy, actually, it was like, hey, let's get, let's just go move to Alberta, let's go out West From the East one. We lived in Quebec growing up, but I'm like let's just go out West. You know, as we say in French on the vote let's go. She levy mon ami. But no, it's true. So we're like, let's just whatever out. Like I was done. I had. It was funny because I had. I thought I knew what love was. So let's just get into it, let's get a turn Stood me rambling here and get through the timeline of love and my journey through finding love and everlasting happiness, but only through. When I figured out the law of attraction and I started letting things just happen the way it needs to happen and just let it flow and Let love go. How much love came back. I'm not gonna tell you.
Speaker 1:One of the keys to success in love attraction is love, just loving everything, just love the world. As you start becoming more like spiritual or more grounded with the universe and with the world or you know whatever you want to call it, then, yeah, just love everything and just, your heart just blows open and you're looking around like, wow, it's such a beautiful day. Wow, I've never seen like the sky, the trees are so beautiful. It's normal, trust me, when that starts happening, don't think you're like what's going on, my my having a seizure. No, okay, you are finding love and you're seeing love everywhere and you find the frequency of love and just Loving everything and just loving life and how amazing life really is.
Speaker 1:And that's my goal With all my podcasts, with all my fun joking around interviewing people. It's just. I want us to find love and Find what we desire and just happiness and joy. Like it's amazing when you see how amazing the world really is. Get your face Out of the phone, get your face out of the TVs, out of the Instagram, the Facebook and all that stuff. Limit yourself and enjoy how beautiful this world really is and what it has to offer. It's funny because when we're watching TV shows or game shows or we're watching a show about love, how excited we are for that person finding love.
Speaker 1:And yet you're like, but I haven't found it yet with my love and we're always comparing ourselves to everybody around us Instead of just comparing ourselves to ourselves. Who cares? What cares? What you see around you and on the outside. It's what you broadcast into the world and into this universe is what matters what you believe, what you see, what you understand and how you see the things. And If you start seeing the world with through the eyes of love, how much amazing this world will seem, and more beautiful If you stop chasing and just let it happen. Wow, and trust me, okay, I Try so hard manifesting millions of dollars so I can change the world and do good and take care of people and do all sorts of amazing stuff, but I just got to stop chasing and stop trying so hard. You know, when you think like, I found it, I figured it out, I figured it out, you know, and then you realize this is the tip of the iceberg, so let's get into love, okay.
Speaker 1:So, as some of my listeners may know, I grew up in, you know, in a Christian household in Quebec, canada, for all those, and I do speak French. I I well, I guess I kind of grew up bilingual, I would say my first, my first words was English, so I spoke, I mean, french, so I spoke French first. But you know, I kind of grew up bilingual Because my parents would speak French to us and speak English to us and stuff like that. But yes, I, I speak the language of love, we, we, oh. So, and at a young age, you know You're like you got to get married, have kids, multiply, replace the earth.
Speaker 1:So you know, I guess I was kind of programmed into me from my parents and you know the Christian church I was going to growing up but I Remember like I was talking to my leader in the church and he was like you know, mike, you don't need to have a girlfriend one-on-one because you don't know what you want, so you should date around until you figure out what you want. You know, my scientific side of me is like that's true, that makes sense. You don't know what, what you want. You think you know what you want and a lot of people say like, oh, I need this, I want this, but when you actually have you like me, I didn't really need it, I didn't really want it Moving on, so I started, you know, dating around, as they say, like going on dates with people.
Speaker 1:I wasn't like a player, nothing, I just be like, hey, samantha, you want to go on a date, you know, hey, so, and so you want to go on a date, you know, and I'll go on dates with them and hang out them and I'll either ask them on another one if I liked what some of the attributes they had. And you know, try to figure out what my, you know, just start chasing my perfect, my perfect wife, you know, and start pushing, pushing and to the point where I was actually engaged, at 18 years old, I believe. I was like 18 years old, 19 years old, I got engaged to a girl and Because I was just forcing, like, oh, this is love, right. When you think, you know, it was funny because, like when I was younger, the first time a girl held my hand and I was like, oh, she loves me, right. Well, we locked hands together. You know, our fingers and our hands got locked together. I was like, oh, this is love, this is love, right. And you're like I'll do anything for you. This is real love, this is true, right. And and you see it in all us media, right, movies, tv shows, how people do for love, right, they'll do anything. But yeah, I know, you know.
Speaker 1:So then when I found a girl that liked hanging out with me a lot and you know, I met her parents and we hung out, everybody liked me, and then I was like, well, what's the next stage of love? But this is love, this is it? So I proposed and I was like this is amazing, this is love, right. She said yes, and all that fun stuff, and I was like we're getting married and we're just hanging out on more like this is love, right, and we'll have been dating for like a few months. Oh, the reason why I'm laughing so hard is not because you know that I was engaged to this person before, but it's because what I know now just makes me go. How, if I can go back in time but you can, we'll get to that you could effectively change the past according to quantum physics. Just a fun fact in one of our other episodes come up, but anyways. And I was just like, yeah, this is it, this is it right. And even though I felt after a while like, oh no, I don't like her that much. I want to be with her for you know ever. But I was like, oh, this is love, this is it right.
Speaker 1:After and after work, hard to find, to have love and to find Everlasting happiness right, because that's what you're told. Right, everything's hard again, nothing's easy, but it can be if you want it to be. It's all about your perspective and how you see the world. And even though I didn't feel it but thank goodness for self sabotage, because I Start self sabotaging myself and she's gonna break it up with me and I was like, yes, so if by chance, you listen to this podcast, you know who I am and you're like, hey, I know, this was this. I was. I was the one again what. He was happy. Well, it's true, because, like she was like you're not gonna cry or nothing. I was like, actually, why, like, I'm kind of, you know, happy because I couldn't do it. I Didn't want to go through with it either. She got mad at me and here's the sad part. Well, that's that part about a really funny part.
Speaker 1:I was going to her parents house that day for dinner with her family and they're gonna have like lasagna. They know I like lasagna, so homemade, fresh lasagna. I was like, oh, I Was more upset when I got to their house and there was no lasagna for me, because they're like are you sad? And that's kind of funny, because they're like you dodged a bullet. They're telling me this like you dodged a bullet, you don't want to marry her. She's crazy. You should have married her as a daughter. She's more normal. It was hilarious. But they're like are you upset? I was like, yeah, I'm upset. And they're like, oh, it's okay. I'm like, no, not about your daughter breaking up with me. I'm more upset that there's no lasagna Sound like a total asshole, but no, you have to have been there.
Speaker 1:If I could totally just watch my life as a video, I would show it to you guys. You would understand and be laughing with me. But like this, this is funny, but anyways. So I was like I guess that wasn't love. So then I was just like whatever, I gave up.
Speaker 1:Then I started just dating around and then I started dating this girl and like I lived in Montreal, quebec, and she lived in Ottawa, ontario, which is like two and a half hours away from where I lived. And you know I'd always go out of my way to make sure I go see her go on dates with this other, this new girl, and she would never like do anything for me. You know, like go out of her way to come visit me or go out of her way. Or you know she was busy. It's like, oh sorry, I'm busy, I'm hanging off my friends, I can't go on a date with you today. So I like did everything around her schedule. So I'm like I guess this isn't love because there's no compromise.
Speaker 1:And then I was just pushing, I'm pushing but, and I was just like at that point, just like everybody is at that point, at one point or another in their life, with either love going I just I'll never find it, I give up, who cares, I'm done? Or with like work, you know I'm trying to find the best job. And you just finally give up and like who cares, I don't care anymore, just give up. And then I was talking to my buddy, like dude, let's just go move, let's go to Alberta. I said my parents just moved out there a few years ago, so let's go over there, hang out them. And now when I went up with my parents and visited Alberta and all that, I met this, these families and they, they had some cute girls. I was like maybe I can go on dates.
Speaker 1:But I wasn't. I didn't care about trying to find love or trying to find a wife or anything like that, I was just giving up, I'm done right. I went, my buddy, and I were like, yeah, let's do it, let's go to Alberta, let's go work in the, you know, the oil fields or the whatever, right, and make all this oil money and stuff and who cares about, you know, finding a wife or girlfriend or whatever? It'll just happen. It'll just happen. Who cares? Stop forcing it, stop chasing, because when you're chasing, people are running away. If we start chasing somebody, they're running. They're like why the hell are you chasing me? So just think about that way. It's common sense. I know there's not much common sense anymore in the world, but just come on, it's common sense. Stop running after random people and maybe they'll stop running away, start running after somebody. I'm calling it, I'm chasing you down to talk to you about your extended warranty, but anyways. So yeah, I just gave up, I didn't care.
Speaker 1:And on another note, over the years I had a buddy of mine, another friend, and and he was always trying to find girls to date and all that. I said, hey, cuz I drove a car and I owned a car. How do you at 16 years old, right? So I told him we were younger. I said, hey, if you find a date, somebody, he's willing to go on a date with you and they have a hot friend, I get the hot friend. I said that I'm more than happy to drive you, you know, within an hour or two radius, give or take, but whatever, I'll drive you as long as they have a hot friend and he's like okay, anyways. So now we fast forward a couple years.
Speaker 1:Um, it was where we're at like a dance, like a church dance or something, and like we were like 18, 19 years old. And Then he was like, hey, just Letting you know, a girl I've been talking to is coming to visit me. I'm like, okay, buddy, you know we kind of joke around, make fun of him, or something like yeah, yeah, sure, she's real. You know they might be getting catfished by some dude and he's gonna come see you near here. Ah, crap. And anyways, he's like, no, she's coming to the church at the dance. So, anyway, so she he finally comes, goes, hey, this is her. And we're like you are real. She's just like, okay, you are right, your friends are weird. I'm like Cool, cool, cool. And then she was like, oh, this is my sister, my younger sister, you know. And I was like, hey, how's it going? I had my other friend with me. I'm like, hey, this is my buddy, you know, we're all hanging out.
Speaker 1:And, you know, went to the dance, hung out, danced, and usually after like the dances and stuff, people are like, hey, mike, where are we going? And like we had friends like that's, you know, french side, english side. This is pretty cool. Like those are multi-language Church unit. There's like English speaking people, people Spanish, mandarin and French and so on. But yeah, and like we all Some most of us were bilingual or twiling wool, so we all start speaking to hang out with each other.
Speaker 1:But I was like Mike, what are we doing? So sometimes we want bowling, sometimes we went to the movies, sometimes we want karaoke, we went to restaurants, whatever, right. So I was like, oh, I look over at my buddy. I'm like, hey, everybody, let's go to my house, my house in the middle of the street. Okay. So I was like, let's go to my house and hang out. You know, I got a pool. I said the house is kind of under renovations, like the kitchen and stuff, but you know, we still have access to the swimming pool and we'll still have access to like hanging out and watch movies or just hang out and talk, right. So we're like, hey, buddy, bring your girlfriend. You know she's like I'll bring my sister. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1:And then, what? A couple other guys came and me and Another buddy of mine were all hanging out. So we all drove into two, three different vehicles to my house, which was probably about like 40 minutes away from where we were, and then, of course, like my buddy With his girlfriend, came the sister Came and she sat in the front with me and then we're just hanging out talking and I'm just being a nice guy because I give up. I'm a lot of, I'm like I don't give a crap, I'm done, I'll just being the nice guy.
Speaker 1:Like, even at the dance I danced with everybody. You know, I don't care, I just wanted to dance. People's girls asked me that, hey, you want to dance? Right, I want to dance. We're just hanging out dance and I just wanted everybody and this wasn't, honestly, my goal. Okay, like, maybe on the outside people like player, your player, you're douche. But I was just like I wanted everybody to feel happy and special and important, right? So, like even people that weren't being asked to dance, I'll be like, hey, you want to dance with me? Like what, why you want to dance? I'm like, why not? And you know, have a good time with them.
Speaker 1:And I didn't think I was like a really hot guy or good-looking guy or Whatever. But you know, a lot of girls found me cute and attractive and maybe I was pretty good looking younger when I was younger, not now anyways. So, yeah, so I mean I was wanting people to feel happy and loved, like I'm just feel special. Because I want to feel special, I start, you know, I started at a young age going. You know I'm gonna talk to people and you know stuff like that the way I want to be treated, I'm gonna treat them the way I want to be treated, because I want to be treated and feel like Special or important or cool. Then I want people to feel special, important and cool because I want to feel that way. That's just the best way to live, I find at least it worked for me anyway. So we're just hanging out, and then Her little sister hang out with me.
Speaker 1:She was like 18 at the time or something so about. And oh yeah, so I wasn't engaged. We broke up, so I'm about 21 years old, she was like 18 or I'm 22, something like that. So she's like three, four years here with me and anyway. So we're just hanging out, I'll talk, and then you know I'm like so how did you meet my you know so-and-so? And she's like oh, it's actually pretty weird. It's through a friend who says, hey, you should talk to this guy, because this guy has a friend In Montreal, quebec, and these people from Toronto, so it's pretty far drive, anyway. So then she's like, okay, and then they started talking to each other and it clicked, I guess right, and I was like, oh cool, I think I'm just making everybody have a fun time.
Speaker 1:So we went to my house I'm like swimming, you know, will once women in the pool hung out watching the movie, thought nothing of it, and then like they all left and then I stayed home because of my house and my other buddy stayed with me because he lived with me at the time and I was like that was fun. He's like, yeah, I'm like, did you think she was cute? Because the other girl, the sister, was more his age, because he's like three, four years younger than me. And I'm like, hey, was that fun? He's like, yeah, I'm like, do you think find her cute? You know, you know, I want to go on a date with her. I can, I can make a phone call. He's like, no, I'm good, we're going Alberta.

I was like, okay, sounds good.
Speaker 1:So we're driving, we're just hanging out, talking for like the six, seven hour drive there.

For you know, whatever I'm here, I drove seven hours disappointed, but it's not so mean, but I'm not mean. And she was the same thing.
Speaker 1:So we hung out for a few hours before Um, because we have to wait for his girlfriend to finish working. So it's like, won't two hours. So we just went to a park, hung out and talked and I'm just talking to To her sister, and I'm like, hey, you know, she's just being rude to me. I'm like I don't want to be here anymore than you do. She's like good, then just go home. And she's like I don't want to go on a date with you, but like my sister forced me to, so you would drive her boyfriend here.
Speaker 1:And I'm like, well, I got caught into it. I'm like but at least you can pretend to be nice, like whatever. Like we're gonna be going on these Dates, we're gonna go to restaurant, we're gonna go to Canada's wonderland in Toronto. We're gonna, you know, hang out. So I'm sorry, but let's make the best of this worst bad situation, right? She's like fine, and like I didn't care about her, like not about her, I just, it was done looking for love, I was done looking for anything. Like I was like whatever, I'm going Alberta soon.
Speaker 1:And then we went through the date and like hung out and you know I made her feel special and she was trying to be nice to me and stuff. And then you know, we went home and I was being like on the next day and I was being mean to my buddy like you, next time you better make sure it's one of her hot friends, not her blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right. And then you know didn't think nothing of it that a month later she calls me. She's like, hey, how's it going, mike? I'm like hey, she's like my sister told me to call you because, like you know, the guy was my best friend, I need dating her sister. And she's like my sister told me to call you because my friend told your friend told her you know that it's your birthday, so happy birthday. I'm like, okay, thank you. We would talk sometimes just as friends, like we became friends, right, but I wasn't interested in dating her because I'm going Alberta, I'm not connecting with her. I'm not interested in dating her because I'm going Alberta, I'm not connecting with nobody. I'm done, and and then a few months go by and then I get a phone call from another friend of mine who lives in Utah and he was getting married. He's like hey, do you want to come to my wedding? I'm getting married, buddy. I'm like cool, cool, cool.
Speaker 1:So I was looking for flights, like cheap flights, I guess. You know, I was working and stuff, and I had my one of my, my businesses at the time. But I wasn't, you know, as you know if you follow the podcast, I wasn't dedicated to my business. It was like contract basis and I had contracts. I didn't have contracts but I always had a real job on the side, stuff like that, but anyways, and I was like, yeah, you know, look, and I guess the cheapest flight was from Toronto To Las Vegas and then there's a bus I could take that takes me into Utah, and that was the cheapest way. And I was like that's cool, that's cool, but parking at the airport in Toronto is expensive.
Speaker 1:I was like, hey, so I call my buddy. I'm like, hey, your girlfriend, how far you know? Is there buses or trains that take me to the airport in Toronto from her house? He's like, yeah, I'm like, okay, I'm gonna call. So I call like hey, it's Mike, can I speak to so-and-so? I'm like, okay, and then you know, hey, your friends calling.
Speaker 1:You know, I'm like, hey, I'm gonna be in town, going to the airport in Toronto, cuz I go to a wedding in Utah and my buddy and his mom and his dad were so intent in setting me up with somebody, so I would like fall in love and Stay in Utah and hang out with them, because we still like it's a long story but maybe I'll talk about that later in another episode, but I might have mentioned it a few times. But they were people that moved. They've lived in Montreal for a while and I lived with them for a bit and because I was best friends with their buddy, with their son anyways. So I was like, hey, is that cool? I'm like maybe we can hang out and then, you know, I'll leave my car in the driveway and take the bus to the airport, cuz I'm not paying for parking. And she's like, yeah, yeah, whatever, I'll talk to my parents, yeah, that's okay. I'm like, okay, I'm coming. So I said what day I was coming.
Speaker 1:I drove down so we hung out we just want for a walk, and just hung out and then, I don't know, we just Started talking and then she was like you know, you're a lot more cooler than I thought and I'm like I Appreciate that. I'm like you know, you're pretty cool yourself. So Like, yeah, that you know, that's pretty cool. We hung out and just talked for like hours and I'm like, well, you know, I said when I come back, you know I'll see you for a little bit before I drive home, like we can hang out and talk like we're becoming good friends now, right, she's like, yeah, so then I Got on the plane, flew Las Vegas, and then it was a six hour wait for the bus to take me to Utah and I get there. My buddy was gonna drive an hour to pick me up, but he's running late. Anyways, digress.
Speaker 1:So I was pretty much hanging out in Utah. We did all this fun stuff. There's things called like Zion's Canyon as we went to. There's things called the Narrows, I went to walking and stuff. And I was hanging out with my buddy's parents because he was my buddy, was just getting ready for the wedding, so we hung out a little bit, but he was stressed with the wedding and stuff. And then I was hanging out with his dad and the dad's just like, hey, you know, is there anybody, any girlfriends or anything, any love going on for yourself? And I was like yeah, not really, I don't care, I'm sort of I want to move, maybe to Alberta and whatever. I'm just giving up on, you know, chasing love and stuff. He's like, oh, that's okay, I didn't know.
Speaker 1:While I was in Utah, like that, the different, like at the wedding and stuff, there's all these people, my friends, like hey, meet this girl, she's cute, meet this girl, meet this girl, like she thinks you're cute. But you know, I'll just like cool, hanging out, dancing, you know, talking to people, but it just I don't know, just none of them did anything. And then I was just sitting there like at the house, just my buddy's house, cuz, stay there for a good week or so. And then he got married I'm not hanging out with him, I'll say off his parents at his parents house, and I was just like you know. And then his mom likes did you start anybody in your life that you like? I'm like, no, not really, you know, but I just felt like I wanted to go home and hang out with this girl again and Toronto. So I was like called her and I was like, hey, it's Mike.
Speaker 1:She's like, oh, hey, having fun in, you know, utah at the wedding and stuff. I'm like, yeah, it's pretty fun, it's pretty cool. So Las Vegas is really cool. You know, when you land in Las Vegas you can see the strip hills at night. You can see it all lit up. It's pretty cool. And you know, flying over the desert, I was like, oh, it's really dark Driving through the desert all the way to Utah. It's pretty fun, you know. I was just like, yeah, it's pretty good.
Speaker 1:But I was like, hey, I got a question. I was like, would you mind If I come home, come home, if I fly back to Toronto a day early and hang out with you, so we can hang out a little bit before I have to Drive, go home the next day to work and for contracts and stuff? I was just like, oh, yeah, that'd be all right. You don't want to stay there. I'm like, well, no, it's, you know, he's gotten married and hang out with his parents, I would, he's busy, so I'll just fly back a day early, if that works for you, if I can change the flight. So I called the airline and, yeah, it turned out I could change the flight. It was actually cheaper and they give me meal, they gave me money back and stuff like that. So, whatever, I was just like, yeah, just going with the flow, right, I'm just surrendering, going to the flow.
Speaker 1:So I flew back and then, you know, I got well, got back to the house. I took the bus from the airport back to the house and she was in university at the time. But she came back home from university I was like, hey, and we're just hanging out and talking, and we went for a walk and we're just talking. And then Something magical happened. You know, call it whatever you want, right at the time. You know, we were both in the same Christian Religion, like stuff like that, as we grew up with the similar backgrounds and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:And at the time I was like, oh, you know, this is, this is the way, but like we were walking and talking, and then it just she said something and it's as if time stopped, okay, and I was like, oh, and I was watching, you know, me and her, as if I like was pulled out of my body and watching, talking and interacting with each other, and then just time froze and then, as if I went back and I remember it like clearly, like a few years earlier, when I was just like I'm giving up, you know, on love and all that. I had this dream and I was just like I don't know, floating around in space, like like a dark world or whatever and what not. And Then I was just like what's you know why? You know, I'm like complaining, I guess, to the universe or to God or whatever, just like why, how can I can't find love, how can I can't find him? It's me happy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 1:And then there's a voice, and it was a female voice and she was like, hey, you know, when we meet there's gonna be a certain phrase, okay, and Actually it could be this situation. And it was as if, you know, I'm in this dark space. You know, this is two years earlier and it shows me like a scenery and Like the back of a girl that I was like talking to and I'm in front and I could see myself talking to her. And then she was Talking to me and then she said this phrase that's like when that happens you'll remember. And no, I was like you know weird dreams, like this is weird dream, thought nothing of it. I was like whatever, right, two years, we fast forward two years now. And then it is all just like Whoo, she said this phrase, time stopped.
Speaker 1:I pulled out of my body and I'm looking at the exact same angle where I was in this dream two years prior. And she said the phrase and everything just like oh, and I just saw, like I can't explain, it's just a big rush of information flowing to me like downloading from the universe. And then I was like holy smokes and then I got thrown back into my body and then she's like Mike and I was like whoa, she's like what's up? I'm like uh, and I'm just thinking like I need to be with this person, I need to be with you, there's something here and I'm like tripping out, like I don't know what the hell just happened and I'm freaking out and stuff, and I'm like I need to be with you, I need to be with you. And she was kind of like. I was like no, you have no idea. I was just like you got to understand she, she was smart, she would have ran, but like I was like you're wearing the exact same outfit. You were when he came to me in a dream two years ago and da, da, da, da.
Speaker 1:And this is what you're telling me and this what you said, like we need to be together and everything just makes sense and, and you gotta understand, okay, I'm not, I wasn't into this girl's, not like. I was like, oh, wow, love at first sight, right, it was no, I was just like, hey, what up, how's it going? I'm like that's me too, you know, whatever. And just hanging out with her and stuff, like our first date didn't go well as a blind date and she was being mean to me. No, it's just like, pretend you like, because everybody likes Mike, but I don't know, it was just I Like this is it? This is what love is, this is love, this is what I've been prepared for, right, and we just like we finished hanging out and stuff, and like that night we're hanging out or looking like up at the stars and we see a little bit of the northern Alliance and you know. And then I was just like, hey, you want to be my girlfriend. She's like, oh, okay, you know. She's like, yeah, like sure I'll be your girlfriend. I'm like, oh right, then we became girlfriend, boyfriend, you know, shortly after she tried to make up, she's like, ah, maybe we shouldn't like date. Like I don't know, it's kind of weird, your friends dated my sister. I'm like, no, we need to be together. I thought a vision we have to be together. But it was weird because, like I never felt that kind of love before. I'm like like we're gonna have a different kind of love. So you gotta understand.
Speaker 1:Growing up the way I did, I thought love Equaled lust. So if a girl would be like, oh, you know, start kissing me or, you know, holding me, or let me, you know whatever, I was like, oh, lust equals love. Because you know my homework's going crazy and and the religion I grew up in, you know you're not Having sex before marriage or anything like that, right it's. You wait till you get married, right? That's the religion, that's how I grew up, that's, you know what I was Instilled, right? So I waited till I got married. But I was like I need to be used on. You know all this like hormones and stuff, and I'm like I just lost in every body in the world and I used to think lust was love, but it's not. I ran. If a girl kissed me, I'm like she lost me. She holds my hand. I'm like she loves me.
Speaker 1:If anybody shows me any kind of like attention, I'm like she loves me. I'm just freaking out. Yeah, everybody loves me. Ah right, people show me attention. They must love me, right? And I was so confused what love was and I always thought I knew what love was. I was like this is love, this is love.
Speaker 1:And then, you know, I got engaged. I'm like this is love. And then I was like, oh, this is love, oh, this is a. But this is what love is right. I can't love somebody anymore than I love you. And it was. You know, we dated for like eight months to a year that we got married and she was like 19. I'm 22. We got married, got married young and stuff like that, and I let this is love, you know, and I'm like every day looking at like, oh, this is love. I'm like, oh, this is love. And, yeah, I never, ever lived with like a girlfriend before because you're not allowed to do that. You know, in my, in the religion I grew up in, it was like oh no, you can only live with, you know somebody of the opposite sex when you get married. So, anyway, so we're still living with each other. I'm like, oh, I don't like this idea.
Speaker 1:So many of my bed snoring or I was snoring, she wasn't, she sleeps quietly or like taking all my sheets and stuff. Like I had a small single bed. I'm like we need a bigger bed, you know, and stuff like that start getting annoyed and stuff. I'm like, oh, you know, love, you have to work towards it. Like whatever, like you know, um, stuff like that.
Speaker 1:And there's times around like, oh, maybe I made the wrong decision, and so on and so forth. Right Now, cut some coin. Well, love is hard, you have to work at love, right, and stuff like that. And I would, you know, I was always, you know, in mainstream media, right, you're not, you supposed to love your wife and appreciate your wife, but you always joke about her and hide the thing from her that she, I don't know, Like because I swear, I swear a lot, and she didn't like that, or whatever, right, and stuff like that. And yeah, I was like, yeah, I found love right.
Speaker 1:But you know what, we've been married for 17 years and I felt like, as around the 10 year mark, we kind of like, you know, we had kids. Three years after getting married we had kids, so we're just focusing on the kids, and then, you know, we had one kid and three years later we had another kid. Three years later, another kid, right, and then it was hard and all this stuff and I don't know like there's a lot of thoughts of like, oh, maybe I should just run, get divorced. Get divorced because, you know, I've seen people on times get tough. They just get divorced and run away. But I also saw people that didn't have a lot of communication, like they just went with their emotions and freaking out. Nobody really communicated.
Speaker 1:So then, you know, I kind of like my wife and I Been married 10 years and it felt kind of hard because now the kids are getting older and we're different people, like we're different people, we're not the same people we were when we first got married, you know, 10 years earlier. And then, like, kind of like we kind of got to know each other. It's like hey, hey, and you know I fell in love with her, kind of like wow, I never thought I could love you anymore than I do. And she's like oh, you know, and yeah, we had a lot of hard times.
Speaker 1:I'm not saying it's easy, but one thing we started learning and realizing is communication and the more communication we had and just being straight up, honest with each other and flow of communication and Not hiding nothing, like there's times when she's like I don't think you know, I don't want you spending money at the restaurants or anything, you know, after work, just come home or stuff like that, okay. And then she'd like to spend money on. You know, I like no, but my buddies went out once McDonald's, I paid for everybody, stuff like that, right. And you know we'll start lying. Oh, it's okay. So a little white lies, okay, to tell a white lie, right. And there was not communication, that open flow, and you know I got caught in lies because I'm not a good liar, stuff like that.
Speaker 1:But I don't know, as the years went on, I remember there's like points where we can. I felt like we can choose to be together or not and I just felt pulled back, like I need to be with this person. I need to be with this person. And it's my wife that started reading Dr Joe Dispenza and Michael A Singer called the Untethered Soul and the Surrender Experiment and stuff like that. And then we, uh, I don't know we, we were thinking like we left, like the religion we were in together, and she left first and then I left after, like meaning like you know the organized religion part. We just walked away from all that and kind of like bonded to each other even more and then there was no more, like I don't know. It's like I don't know something was moved and we're just started communicating better and talking better and and there's some things like she's like I want to go check out you know this festival called Ohm, or I want to check out this you know festival and this.
Speaker 1:And I was like just so annoyed with it, like a why do you want to go do this stuff? Let's just be together and stop trying to like chase out all the like the life you never had, I guess, like going all these different events and stuff. But you know, we grew up in our life was our religion, so we want to find ourselves and she want to find herself, anyway. So it was funny because, like I'd be like I don't think we should go to events and then you know dirty hippies, stuff like that. But then when we went, somehow we like bonded more with each other and stuff like that and like it's hard to explain, but I, we find that the key to success in our marriage and we've been married 17 years now Is that we decided to have open communication before it was too late and just started talking about everything and just being completely open with each other and then it just helped us have this bond and this love.
Speaker 1:Like you heard me talk about other episodes earlier in this season. You know episode one and two. I was doing that 10 day meditation retreat and I just want to be, you know, my wife's arms and stuff and just be with her and our love is so strong and so amazing. And yeah, we have hard times, we fight, we bicker, like every married couple. Sorry, I'm gonna cough here, sorry about that. I forgot to bring a bottle of water and I felt like the universe be like, hey, don't get your bottle of water. I'm like I'm too lazy to go back out in the warehouse to get some water and do the podcast. I can work through this. Yeah, well, the universe was telling me what I need to do. But, yeah, it's just amazing to me that, like the moment I gave up and stop chasing and just let things happen and just went with the flow, before I even knew what that meant, just trusted the universe and the guidance of love and and this world, and I really feel like as I do, like meditations and stuff like that like I feel such an amazing connection With my wife and like I couldn't have made it A better decision or found somebody better.
Speaker 1:And you know people say, well, you know you can learn to love anybody, blah, blah, blah. I believe me, on the shadow of a doubt, that you know my wife somehow figured out how to. You know, with quantum physics or all the different you know realities happening at once. You know, like we learned in the movies, right, all the different universes, all parallel universes with each other that have slight little differences, and that she found a way to jump over and be like, hey, out of all the different you know parallel universes, the one where we were the most successful when we were together. And then she made it happen. I like, yeah, teach me. So her higher self came and visited me of a younger age and just like, hey, this is what's going to happen, don't worry body.
Speaker 1:Needless to say, I never moved out west, but yeah, there's something to it and I do get a lot of requests and people talking to me about, like you know, talk about love, or Talk about the different parallel universes, or talk about, you know, dreams. What dreams mean? The dreams mean anything, stuff like that. But you know, in the end I say this all the time, but it's so true and it's about your personal beliefs and you are creating your personal reality. So for me, what needed to happen happened and I believe right and nobody can tell me otherwise. And you know that my wife's higher self found a way to communicate with me and I was like, okay, you know, maybe our higher selves are still together, hanging out. I don't know.
Speaker 1:But, like Mike, proof to me about those different parallel universes. Go to this parallel universe and talk to me, or do this or do that. Go to the future, go to the past, right. But who cares who's right and wrong in the end? Who cares which religions right or which religion people believe, which one's right, which one's wrong, or this is right, this is wrong. It doesn't matter. If you believe it's right, it's right for you, if you don't believe it's right, it's not right for you.
Speaker 1:And even some people are like, oh well, you were in religion, mike, and you left religion, like you must have seen miracles and stuff. I said, yes, I did see a lot of miracles and I performed miracles are you know and all that. But it doesn't you know, it was right for me at the time, for my flow of my projection and for mine and for, like for me, my life. I felt like, since I left for me I'm not telling people to leave religion, I didn't even want to talk about this at all, but I just just came out, just trust in the flow. But For me it felt like I reached the information lot in that religion that I was in and that, in order to expand, I need to move on. And, yeah, the knowledge I thought, I thought I knew everything then to now it's like, oh, a lot different, like I know a lot more stuff and I have a lot more Information and experiences in this world and it's just yeah.
Speaker 1:So it doesn't matter right, who's right, who's wrong, or this is real. This is not blah, blah, blah. It's. What matters is, if you believe it, then it is real for you. Because I'm telling you and for those who are listening to me are not like, I guess, like new wish to the law of attraction and two things I'm talking about. You'll understand, but Reality is what you make it, that's all there is. And in this reality, this is the only reality where we are right now, and I'm telling you once again, this is the only reality where we are right now, where you can turn thought Into a physical object, but we limit ourselves, like what you think I could make a cheesecake appear in my hand. Hey, man, just like to move in the matrix. Right, stop limiting yourself, stop, you know, whatever.
Speaker 1:If you want to see the real world, you got to decide what the real world is for you. Is it numbers, like in the matrix? Is the matrix telling us something? Is the matrix a movie that my higher self put together to show me, to explain to me things? Because every time I watch certain movies, I'm like there's something to this. I feel like there's a message for me. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't, but it doesn't really matter Because in the end, whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen and I choose To live the law of attraction, to live the law of the universe and feel the different frequencies and to Just trust, to trust the process, because this was working for me.
Speaker 1:That's what's getting me through everything and stuff like that, like there's so many times in my life and if you think about it, I just told you the story of my love right, finding my everlasting love, and and how amazing and connected we feel, and that it's all about communication. Okay, communication, communication, communication, communication. Okay, I'm telling you now open communication Works for us. That worked amazingly, like Even to this day, like I'm like I think we reached the pinnacle of love, I can't love you anymore. And then something happens and like we're together and I'm like I love you. All right, different experiences in life or whatever, right, but just Talk, right, feel like, hey, this is something I an idea, this is stuff, this is I'm just have open communication with your partner. Okay, because there's so many times I watch movies, tv shows I've seen it in real life when no one's having open, true communication and I'm just getting divorced. Everybody just gets divorced. It's always oh so easy. I'm walking away, I'm done. You don't want to listen to me, you don't want to do what I want, I'm out, right, just open communication, and you'll find and just Love and just be happier.
Speaker 1:And if you find that you're in a relationship and you're like, with open communication and everything, and you still like, ah, you know, maybe they're. You know, whatever you gotta do, what you gotta do for me, this is my world and my life, and then working for me very well, and If you think about it, okay, so my friend who was dating that girl in Toronto and he's in Montreal, she randomly set her from hey, I have a friend talk to him and asking for this guy's, you know, back then MSN number at email address or whatever, so you guys can talk in MSN, right, or AOL and all that stuff, right. And Then she did it and then, you know, is the faithful moment of her coming to visit him and she had an uncle, I guess, in Montreal and she's like told her younger sister to come with me Please, and that like there was like a second where she wasn't going, but she just like, whatever, I'll just go, whatever. And Then we met and then we didn't connect or nothing, but all those little things like nudges of the universe that you know my buddy's like hey brother time and I was like yes, or whatever was to do this, because if I said no, then no, it was over. And then that little nudge of like coming back a day early and Stuff like that, like it's amazing how the universe orchestrated the whole thing for us to be together and it was all because I gave up and just like, whatever I Let love come to me, I'm stopped running after it, because every time I run after it runs away and I think I know what love is and I'm not, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right.
Speaker 1:So yes, it's not hard to find love, trust and open your heart. But first you got to love yourself, you have to love the world, you have to love people and your friends that are around you. You got to love everybody. Just see how amazing this world is and just have that love in your heart. Just let your heart open with love and just explode with love. And I know it's hard. Sometimes you meet some people are like that person doesn't deserve my love. I give you hate, right. But Just try, just open your heart, love and find the frequency of love and Then I'm telling you, the universe will just work its magic and, before you know it, you'd be like, huh, this is what love is, that you go through and be married for 17 years plus and Still falling in love and be like I don't understand how I could love somebody and even more and more right, just opening your heart, and I need to fill with love and joy and compassion and how amazing this world can be with that it's.
Speaker 1:It's simple like I never thought it'd be the simple to manifest and to create whatever you want. Like it's crazy, like I couldn't Do all this stuff. I'm not that lucky right where I could have all this stuff happen, where I can pick the right stocks at the right time, and just felt a little small voice, little nudge hey, look at stocks, hey, type this into the search bar and Google a lot, look for this and hey, you know, be here at this time and stuff like that. And then Whatever right, and just start meeting people and like, hey, this is a business that you got to do and just do it this way, and then I set it up and then you just kind of trust and Stop trying to control love, stop trying to control money, stop trying to control everything and just let it happen and Trust that your higher self, that God or the universe, mother Earth, whatever you want to call it is gonna guide you and you're gonna feel it and just follow the flow of the universe of love and of life and Everything of your wildest dreams will come your way. You could think of it, put it in out there and Boom you, you'll create it. I'm telling you this world is a world where you can create from a thought and Manifested into a physical thing and bring things to you. It's all up to you how you want to do it.
Speaker 1:Do you want to have a hard life? Do you want to believe everything? You're told? How hard life is, how hard is to find love, how hard, how hard, how hard. And you have to give up sacrifice, like you heard in my last episode, you got to sacrifice all this stuff if you want things. But I don't believe any of that crap. I don't believe you have to give up and Sacrifice all this stuff to get what you want. I don't believe I have to give up you know, my amazing marriage with my wife in order to have abundance. Or I don't believe I have to give up Abundance to have this life. I don't believe any of that. I believe I can have it all and everybody deserves to have it all that they want. You could have a hard life and easy life. It's all up to you. I Know it sounds crazy. I thought it was crazy when I first heard all this stuff. But put it to the test, put it to the practice, test it, put it out there, push it, test it. Man, nothing you can do Like. All I can say is do an experiment, like I did. Find your experiment, find the way where you can hack this world and hack it and Make your world so much more better, because I got so much amazing stories coming their way about all sorts of amazing people and stuff that are coming across and who knows but yeah, he's a little tidbit, you know.
Speaker 1:So we sold our house back in 2018, 2017 just our traveling. It's like you heard in a lot of my episodes where we were gonna travel to the US, living Florida for six months. You know, we had a trailer and a truck and we pull it around and stuff and living Canada for six months. And you know now it's our plan and it was working great. And then, you know, 2020 happened, we came back to Canada and then we weren't allowed to leave Canada for two years because our government's crazy, I don't know. But anyways, I don't want to say anything, getting trouble, I hear noxious or they're here to get me, but anyways, so yeah.
Speaker 1:So now we're like, well, maybe we should get a house. And I was like, pushing, we should get a house in Florida, we should get a house in Florida, we should get a house in Florida. But I was like, you know, I'm done pushing, I'm done chasing. I was like, if it's meant to be, we're gonna manifest a house, we'll manifest the money for the house, we'll get the right contracts, we'll win the lottery. I don't know what we'll do, but as self-employed individuals in Ontario, canada, it's hard to get a mortgage and if you do, you're paying like a higher interest rate, like eight to ten percent interest rate. And Houses are stupid in Ontario in the sense where they're worth, you know, worth four hundred thousand they're selling for like nine hundred thousand to a million, because that's the market stakes, right, but it's slowing down, anyways, but anyways, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1:I was like, whatever, we'll just manifest that we'll get the right place, we'll be able to get the mortgage, will be able to whatever just month's manifested and go at the universe do its thing. I'm gonna set it and forget it, like I preach to everybody and I tell everybody and, yeah, it works. I'll probably talk about that on the next episode, but I just want you to know you are not alone in this world. There's a lot of people out there in this world, in this universe, that are just like you and me, right, but Just know that life doesn't have to be as hard as you think it should because of all the pre-programming. It's enjoy life, love life, choose your reality, make your reality a Reality and just put it out there and create, and create, and create. And I'll get talk a lot more about that in this season and I'm gonna be good as more people saying I'm letting my crazy out, who let the dogs out. But yeah, we're gonna bring in a lot more people to interview, a lot more people to talk to and stuff like that, and just Hopefully things will work.
