This is the picture I have on my desktop these days:
And I look at it the way I used to look around my living room.
“Hmmm, maybe I should move the couch next to the ficus? I think that would open the place up a bit.”
“Hmmm, maybe I should go to Sri Lanka between my trip to Japan and Bali. I think they have elephants.”
A year ago, buying a ticket to Iceland would have been a huge deal, requiring much forethought, a bit of a freak out over planning and timing, and agonizing over what to bring and what to leave behind.
I mean, even driving from my house in Venice Beach to downtown LA was an epic ordeal.
Now I fly off to Qatar as if I’m heading down the street for a slice of pizza.
The world has gotten SO SMALL to me suddenly. I literally feel like I’m hovering above it from a different vantage point, looking down on our planet as if it’s all right at my fingertips.
And it occurred to me this morning – it not only is, but it always HAS been.
It’s all always been right there, hanging around, doop de doo, waiting for me to notice it.
It honestly makes my hair stand up. Because it’s almost creepy:
THERE ARE COUNTLESS HUGELY AWESOME GIGANTIC OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERIENCES AND VERSIONS OF OUR LIVES SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US RIGHT NOW THIS VERY SECOND.
They’re just waiting for our perspectives to change.
So next time you’re feeling stuck or freaking out about paying your mortgage or wondering how the hell you wound up living the kind of life you used to make fun of, take a deep breath, look beyond the ordinary and reconsider what you deem impossible.
Because the motherlode is at your front door, she’s just waiting to be invited in.

When are you in Paris?? I shall be there for a weekend late April… How about you join me on an African Safari, your world is getting smaller but there are some wonderful things to see and do…!!!!
Hi are you really inviting people to join you in Paris?
My name is Andrew Davis. I am 60 years old. The last 14 yrs of my life have gone from businessman, business owner of a $100mm company. 3+ years enternally in the UN, trips of mystery,intrigue and more. The end came with death, yes I died and was gone for over 12 minutes,and yes there really is a tunnel, a light and yes I am back.
These years were spent with contacts with Sultans, Government Officials of 12+ nations with items, and people being supplied all over the world. No not made up. It cost me everything I owned, houses condos, Porches, Jags, Town Cars, people dieing all around the world. No one could even think of making up this stuff, trust me I have read 100′s of books none come even close to what I have to tell that is true. I would have to make sure no real names were used, or I surely would be none existant within weeks.
I have been told by hundreds I should write this book, I now am ready. I am barely existing, can’t seem to have anyone interested in employing me becausse it cost me my freedom of 41 months in our luxurious prison system, that alone could spawn book two and perhaps book 3…
I would love to speak with you if you would have an interest.
Andrew

Hey all book writer type people – please send specific questions to me at jen@jensincero.com. Can’t answer them too well on here. Thanks! Also, I’m not in Paris but my point is that I COULD be at any moment, which is extremely exciting in my opinion
