All right, here I am.

This is Monday, January 19th. There is a blizzard, blizzard outside. Um, crazy, crazy night. And, uh, I have been really working hard on troubleshooting the Dreamcatcher system. Um, you know, obviously in the last 2 years since I created it. Um, Well, actually, I have to be honest. I didn't create it. It came to me. Start coming to me in dreams and in images and in conversations and it's just like, that's all I could think about. Um, and, you know, because it kind of came to me, I have to distill it and I have to see like, okay, how does this actually work?

So I didn't build it by knowing the steps and then creating a system or making it beautiful or making it creative or giving it a name, like the name was the 1st thing that came to me. And then the image. And then, yeah, like, and that's how it started showing up in my life. Um, but, you know, As I'm troubleshooting it, I realized that a lot of the work, like today, I, yeah, today I was trying to write Wednesday's newsletter, and I was trying to think about what do I want to say? You know, what exactly is this newsletter gonna be? What is the truest truth about what I want to say?

Like, I have my systems, I have my way of, um, you know, being consistent with a newsletter. Um... But I also try to do what is fresh as possible and be as creative as possible. And for you to be creative, you have to really, uh, room based, which is a part of the Dreamcatcher system. And this is a creative exercise as well that I want to share. Um, Step number five, so the whole, the whole idea of the Dreamcatcher system is having, you know, a series of steps that you follow and when you follow, you reach your goals faster.

It's kind of like a GPS. It is not gonna tell you what you should do. It is, it is just something like you put what you want to do, the steps are the same. Life by design is a system for a life by design, which is a concept I learned when I was a Keller Williams, a concept that, you know, is, I would say, originated from Gary Keller, the owner of Keller Williams. And I read that and it hit me so deep. I would, you know, I quit my job for a full year to, this is not a joke. Um... I quit my job for a full year to try to understand what exactly do these books mean, and, like, what is the message, and how the hell do I live a life by design?

Because, you know, that's always been my dream, right? I have a lot of dreams, and I've worked really hard to, like, go after them, and I did. And then to, you know, at a certain point in my life to be given a book that kind of gives you a roadmap. On how to do that faster. And then on top of that, I created my own goal setting system, and it's kind of crazy to even think about, like, why would I do that? This is what I'm doing.

And so, I'm trying to write this newsletter. I can't write this newsletter, right? Nothing's coming out. Nothing's coming out and I'm like, okay, like how can I think about this? And then I, I, I wanted to not write the newsletter. I was like, I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. Take a take a break. I'm like, no, I'll do it tomorrow. I'm trying to figure out in what ways, you know, can I let my inspiration come to me?

But the truth is that I decided that like, no, I wasn't going to wait for it. That I am gonna write a newsletter tonight. And it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, I will have something to post on Wednesday and that's just the end of the conversation. That is not a negotiation between me anymore. It's like this is gonna happen.

Um, But I sat down on the computer even though I had no ideas, even though I had no inspiration, even though there was no spark of anything. I just sat down at the desk and I was like, I'm still going to write. I'm still gonna do, and I'm still gonna get something ready. And as I'm doing it, it feels really forced and I know that this is not really the way I want to do things. Um, but I keep trying, I keep trying, I keep trying. I still sit down, you know, I work today, all day. The weather is terrible. Like I just wanted to like relax and take a shower and go to bed.

And I was like, no, you're gonna push yourself through and you're gonna do what you gotta do. And so, At one point, I was getting... Not just not productive, I was actually, like, starting going backwards. Like, I'm actually, like, making all my ideas worse. You know what I mean? It's just like, okay, I'm going backwards on this. I'm really having to like go.

What’s next:

So I let go. And, um, I had dinner smoking some weed, as one does. And, uh, you know, it was a realization that like in in this moment, in this day, I was on step 5 into step 2 because I really, you know, step number 5 is entering the fear cave. Like you have to push it till the limit. It's hit high intensity interval training. And so you kind of have to exercise that with your with your goals, with everything that you do.

Just like, you kind of push it to the fucking to the last drop that you have. And once you're at the last drop, you have to let it go. You have to completely let go. Let go of the outcome, say like, fuck it, I don't even want to do it anymore. And walk the fuck away from it. And the moment you walk away from it, the moment you stop, um, being kind of like obsessed with it and upset with yourself for not figuring out, you know what I mean? Like, whatever it is that you're trying to do is just like, okay, I cannot do more outside of this.

The moment you let go, that's when the inspiration comes. Which is step number 6 is surrender. Surrender is like a rubber band. It's not always going to be intentioned. It has to be relaxed, right? And that's how we grow. You extend, you relax, you extend, you relax, and that's true for everything.

And so when you think about like the test that you want to do and the goals that you have and whatever, the goal isn't to realize the goal. You know, the goal isn't to rush into the goal. You know, Marcus Aurelius is to say, like, don't try to live your whole life at once. It's like, yeah, the dream, the goal, the idea is going to show up all at once like a flash because it is, it is literally a flash from God. It's just sending you an electric signal. Uh, to you and it's communicating to you.

And so when you feel that spark, when you see those images, those beautiful images of what your life could be, if you were your very best. Right? If God really was real, this is, you know what I mean? Like, this is what my life would look like. If God was real, what would my life look like?

And that's a really beautiful premise because basically you are unlocking something that is like magical and this is the teaching of Jesus. You know, I'm not really saying anything new or that fucking interesting to be, to be honest, is just like, the teachings is, you know, if God was real, forget if it is, forget, you know, the, the, the, The definition, because God is, impossible to define, by definition, that's exactly what it is.

Like, it's everything and More. It's everything I can see and everything I can't see. It's the inclusion of everything. And so when when you think, Okay, if God was real, what would be truth about me? If God really was real, if I prayed today and God was real and God gave me this wish, what would it look like? How would it sound like? What premise would this thing be? If God really was real, then how would this happen?

And you start believing, if you don't believe. If you don't believe, If you don't believe, you can't do it. It's just like God loves me that much. And you gotta push forward. And, um, it is not so much if God is real or not real, is your belief is what determines your capacity.

Basically, your belief is gonna almost act like, uh, the lights. The lights in your car is just like, I can only see as far as these, like, you know, if it's dark out there, because everything's dark in the universe. Naturally dark, only God creates the light, right? It's the absence of God is nothing. It's pure no, is nothing. It's space.

And so God provides the time and together, you know, Together, they create the world, they create the universe, everything and the nothing. And so when you have sparks of light and you have those in the universe and you have those inside of yourself and inside of your mind and inside of your heart, you have electric impulses and shocks inside of your own self. You know, an orgasm is an electric shock that you've given to your system. That's why I feel so good. Right? Like, it's a high… yeah.

Imagine this. You open your phone to an alert. It says, “you spent $236,000,000 more this month than you did last month.”

If you were the top bidder at Sotheby’s fall auctions, it could be reality.

Sounds crazy, right? But when the ultra-wealthy spend staggering amounts on blue-chip art, it’s not just for decoration.

The scarcity of these treasured artworks has helped drive their prices, in exceptional cases, to thin-air heights, without moving in lockstep with other asset classes.

The contemporary and post war segments have even outpaced the S&P 500 overall since 1995.*

Now, over 70,000 people have invested $1.2 billion+ across 500 iconic artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.

How? You don’t need Medici money to invest in multimillion dollar artworks with Masterworks.

Thousands of members have gotten annualized net returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% from 26 sales to date.
