All Roads Leading To Costa Rica (For Me)
By Todd | March 10, 2008
Since launching this website 6 months ago, I have written a lot about the need to follow your passion in order to become genuinely fulfilled in life. As I write this post, I am sitting on a plane to Costa Rica, and am here because I am following my passion.
You see, the only way I know how to bring value to We The Change readers is share my personal journey with you, and I would like to explain how I find myself on a plane to Central America, why I am going, and what I hope to accomplish.
I also want to make clear that even as I write these words I am not certain where this path will lead. I am nervous, excited, optimistic, scared and open. I hope this article helps you see the power of intention manifestation…let me explain:
The Movement
I have made no secret that I believe we are living in a time when transcending cultural changes need to occur. I titled this blog “We The Change” for this very reason, and there is a massively growing awareness that people alive today have a choice: either to make the necessary adjustments to create a sustainable and peaceful future OR to remain on present course and suffer some pretty dire consequences.
It has been an amazing realization for me how large the “movement” which strives for fundamental changes really is. It is everywhere and I hope the content you find on WTC has helped expand your awareness!
Because I have put myself “out there” over the last year or so with my beliefs, a myriad of opportunities has presented themselves to me concerning this work. Many amazing things have happened to me, not the least of which is sitting on a plane headed to Costa Rica…
Following the Path
The meeting I am traveling to is being run by a wonderful group called The Alliance For a New Humanity. Deepak Chopra and Oscar Arias (Costa Rican president and Nobel Peace Prize winner) founded this organization and it will be attended by a wide array of thought leaders, writers, philanthropists, filmmakers and activists who are leading the way to a more sustainable future for all people.
I am attending because I have quickly found myself as part of a unique project that manifested in my life less then a month ago. Many of you have seen the trailer for the documentary movie currently in production called “The Shift” (if you have not, click here and watch 5 powerful minutes).
When I first saw the preview, I was so inspired that I contacted to filmmaker straight away and offered my services in any way possible. Incredibly, she responded to me within a few hours and we began our dialogue. Now I find myself on a plane to Costa Rica as part of her “crew” and as an associate producer of the movie.
Am I 100% certain what is going to happen? Not at all. For starters, it is still unclear whether the necessary funds to finish the movie will come in! But the entire scenario has just felt right to me…so I am just going with the flow.
Putting yourself out there is the only way to create magic in life!
Rochelle (The Shift’s creator) has repeatedly said to me “you know, I receive thousands of emails each week from people who see the trailer and want to get involved, and I do not have time to reply to them individually. There was just something in your message that made me say ‘I gotta get back to this guy’”!
That something was pure intention with a heavy dose of passion. In fact, I would like to share with you the email I sent Rochelle which has now landed me on a plane:
Hi there—I just stumble-uponed The Shift movie…and absolutely love it! I felt compelled to contact you and see if there is any way I can get more involved.
I live in Manhattan, am a business coach, marketing consultant, and also run one of the fastest growing self-improvement blogs on the internet called We The Change (www.wethechange.com). I started the blog 5 months ago with the very same mindset as The Shift movie!!
I am also helping to launch (in the next few weeks) a very simple and quantifiable web-based tool called “Worldwide Tipping Point”—it is the simplest expression of this “shift” you can possibly imagine, and there might be very real synergy there. Even though it’s not quite done, and being built now, I would share it with you guys based on the video I just saw.
Anyway, I just wanted to touch base with you and offer you my energy and ideas! Please feel free to contact me any time!
Warmly,
Todd Goldfarb
LASTLY, I would like to share with you my personal intention: To come back from Costa Rica with a tangible way for me to make money and work in this area full-time.
Perhaps this intention will manifest as part The Shift movie…or maybe it will be some other connection. But I know I am on the right path, and I am excited…and that is all that really matters!
So if you have gotten this far in the article…give me a silent shout out for my intention. It will go a long way. Thanks!!

Posted by: Akemi - Yes to Me on March 10th, 2008 at 4:59 pmNot only it shows the power of intention but also the power to take action — like emailing to someone you don’t know because you see opportunity. Both are critical for entrepreneurs.
Incredible. You are an inspiration Todd.
Posted by: Peter on March 11th, 2008 at 1:45 amOh..My..Goodness. That is awesome. Thank you Todd for your inspiration and the courage to step up. Stirs me into getting my butt into gear a bit more quickly. Have a mind blowing time in Costa Rica and let us know all about it.

I can’t wait to hear more.

Todd,
You are true inspiration. When I started my blog, I also sent an email to an expert writer, who is also a publisher of a well known daily paper, seeking his comments and mentoring for my blog and to my surprise he has been my mentor. Courage to take action always pays off. There are great ideas born every day but it takes someone to put those ideas into action quickly to succeed. Well done !

Wow, that is great. What a beautiful example of intention-manifestation. I too would like to get involved in something deeply (other than my blog) to create a positive change in the world. I’m going to set out the intention to bring into my life this change, thank you for your inspiration Todd.

Posted by: Michael Miles on April 7th, 2008 at 3:01 amHey man,
I just wanted to say that now is the time where a lot of people are growing in awareness. I do agree. However there isn’t going to be come mass awakening or people left behind or facing dire consequences. This is someone apocalyptic thinking which probably stems from Eckhart Tolle’s belief, right?
I do think something is happening for the good of course. I just don’t see it as DO OR DIE. Everyone dies, its just certain people realize they never die while others either believe they do not or believe they do..

Posted by: How I Made $10,000 From My Blog in One Day! on April 9th, 2008 at 5:35 amThere is a step by step model which teaches you exactly how to string all the parts of intention, passion and action together.
It is the secrets of the Laws of Mind which provides the full blueprint and code of manifestation.
For example, you mentioned passion which is one component of energy. Other components are:
1. to follow your strengths
2. to follow what you find important
In intention also, there are several things required such as
1. momentary living
2. single minded focus
3. doing one thing at a time
4. concentration
5. non judgement
6. unawareness
etc etc
The only way to apply these correctly is through understanding the full system of manifestation and how everything relates to everything else. Without this, you are wandering in the dark and will never manifest your full potential.
Visit my website at www.manifestationintelligence.com to learn more about this step by step system which encompasses EVERYTHING you need to know to get the life of your dreams.
