About Detox Your Circle
DETOX YOUR CIRCLE establishes the premise for removing 13 toxic elements — people, self-sabotaging behaviors, baggage, and meaningless rituals, to name a few — and demonstrates how decluttering can trigger a very powerful clarity and resonance. Magically, you’ll summon the right people, activities, and passions that illuminate an enlightened path to purpose and meaning.
Chapter 14 – From Inspiration to Manifestation
Your happiness and success in life flow from becoming clear about who you are and establishing your authentic identity—first inside yourself and then externally in the world.
– Stedman Graham
I have been where you are.
Many of you are in transition. You have completed an online class, taken several college courses towards a degree, finished college, begun work on a master’s degree, worked in a job or a career for a number years, recently made the decision to leave your current workplace, or even decided that you may get back into the fray. Nevertheless, you are experiencing a deep dissatisfaction with your life so far. You are searching deep within for meaning and purpose. You ask yourself, why am I spending my precious years engaged in this job, career, company, relationship? and so on.
I know the sinking feeling of not being where my soul, spirit, psyche, or Higher Self desires to be. I have sat in front of a personal computer as a cubicle dweller, desk jockey, manager, director, and vice president, and in each of these positions, I have felt deeply unfulfilled. Why is this? I’ll tell you why. It’s because you are living per someone else’s expectations, contributing to someone else’s vision, building someone else’s empire without any indication that any of these pursuits align with your own destiny, your own purpose.
This is a painful place to be, when your very essence is languishing like a fish out of water, beached on the shores of someone else’s dream.
You may be asking, “Well, what do I do now?”
Let me tell you what I did, based on years of leadership responsibilities and my own personal experience. I am a firm believer in plans and systems. Indeed, I am a bit of a systems nerd. I will show you how addressing the toxic red flags fits into the bigger picture. To detox your circle and activate your destiny, you must move from inspiration to manifestation.
Here’s how:
Step 1. Inspiration: You must awaken from the unconscious programs and answer the question, “Who am I?”
Step 2. Vision: What is the future you want for yourself? Begin to meditate and envision yourself fully immersed and ensconced in your ideal future.
Step 3. Alignment: Who are the people and what are the causes, ideas, and philosophies that line up with that vision?
Step 4. Mission: What is your big Why? Write a mission statement that represents your priorities. This will help you to say “No’ to extraneous things that don’t fit in the framework of your mission.
Step 5. Declutter and Detox: Eliminate from your life what doesn’t align with your vision and mission; Detox your circle. Declutter your life. Activate your destiny.
Step 6. Clarity: You emerge from the previous chaos with the clarity to understand your life purpose.
Step 7. Resonance: Now that you have made your intention clear to the universe, your destiny begins to move toward you.
Step 8. Activation: The coherence of your heart and mind – what you think is no longer at odds with what you feel – cause you to electromagnetically attract the future you envisioned.
Step 9. Gestation: The seeds you have planted are nourished and incubated until the time is ripe for realization.
Step 10. Travail: Pain comes before rebirth. An amazing life will cost you. You will be required to smile through adversity and tests before your vision manifests.
Step 11. Manifestation: Your vision appears and manifests before the eyes of the world.

DETOX YOUR CIRCLE
After doing over 15 years hard time in a cubicle or office, you and your laptop have found Nirvana at the Starbucks around the corner. Mercifully, the career is over, the kids are gone. But now there is nothing left to distract you from the elephant in the room.
You stare at your significant other with the most disconcerting doubts about whether the relationship has run its natural course. You own up to your part in friendships that have become more like placeholders. Years of meaningless, if tenuous connection, have left you hollow.

The book will appeal to thoughtful readers who seek practical tools for simplifying a life that has become far too complicated. If you like prescriptive nonfiction in the style of Daniel H. Pink (When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing), Seth Godin (Linchpin), and Michael Hyatt (Your Best Year Ever), you have arrived. When we detox our Rolodex, our true nature and essence attract more of who we are. What ensues is a resonance that sets the tone and cosmic parameters for fulfilling destiny.
