The Jim Fortin Podcast

How often have you asked yourself this question: “What is my life’s purpose?” If you’re like almost all people, you’ve asked yourself this question over and over and you still haven’t found your answer.

In this episode I dig deeper and take a look at your life’s purpose from a much higher perspective. For most people, they have never thought in this way. They’ve never expanded the level from which they see and experience their lives.

In this episode I talk about:[5:38] “Where you’re living from”[9:59] Looking at your life in a bigger context[10:45] Why your purpose is internal and not external[13:28] Why your external purpose is not your real purpose[24:54] And, how working from your highest potential will help you connect with your real purpose

Also, I talk about meditation and why this is so important.The easiest way to work from higher purpose is to quiet your mind and connect at the deepest levels of who you are.

In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin explores one of the most powerful and overlooked truths about how reality is actually created: the invisible always precedes the visible. Using examples from the Wright brothers to everyday farmers planting seeds, Jim makes the case that everything in the physical world — money, health, relationships — begins as an invisible declaration made in the mind, long before it ever shows up as evidence in the external world. The real question isn't whether you have the ability to create what you want — it's whether your declarations are working for you or against you. 

Most people live by the motto "I'll believe it when I see it," unknowingly trapping themselves in a cycle where they can only affirm what already exists. Jim challenges this deeply ingrained habit head-on, explaining that saying "I want" something is simultaneously a declaration to the universe that you do not have it — and the universe simply delivers on that declaration. The episode reframes the concept of "having" entirely: what you declare, you speak into existence. 

If you've been waiting for visible proof before allowing yourself to believe something is possible, this episode will permanently shift the way you think about your own power to create. 

What You'll Discover in This Episode: 

(00:00) Why "I'll believe it when I see it" keeps you stuck — Jim opens with the foundational truth that invisible precedes visible, and explains why waiting for evidence before believing is the very thing that prevents what you want from ever appearing. 

(09:11) Your declarations are creating your life — Jim reveals that everything you have is a direct reflection of what you've declared yourself to have, and that most people unknowingly broadcast lack to the universe on a constant loop. 

(15:00) You already have access to infinite supply — Jim explains that you are part of the same universal consciousness that contains everything, meaning the abundance you seek already belongs to you — you're simply not tuned into it. 

(20:54) The shift from "wanting" to "having" — Jim demonstrates the energetic and neurological difference between declaring "I want" versus "I have," and why working from the emotional state of having is the key to changing your reality. 

(27:12) The six-peg declaration practice — Jim teaches a repeatable exercise using five known truisms plus one object of desire to train the brain to accept the invisible as real and elevate frequency in the process. 

(34:00) Declare it, then leave it alone — Once you speak your intention as truth, trust the universe to handle the how — just as a farmer plants a seed knowing the crop will come. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway 

Everything you have in your life is the result of what you have declared yourself to have. And everything you don't yet have is simply invisible — not absent. You've been broadcasting from lack and want, and the universe has been delivering exactly that. So declare differently. Speak your life into existence from supply, not scarcity. Say "I have" with the same certainty you feel knowing you have a roof over your head. Declare your five truisms, add the sixth, then leave it alone — because the moment you plant the seed and walk away, you're already telling the universe you believe the crop is coming.

I answer this question in two parts because it can be answered two ways.First, one of the biggest causes of unhappiness is that people refuse to accept life as it is at the moment. Most people are living in the past or the future and complaining about where they are not.

The “space” between where you are and your story about where you think you should be is what I call the “unhappiness gap for many people.We have to accept “what is” so that we can change and transform what is.

Secondly, about seeing things as we want them to be.

Einstein said, “Your imagination is your preview of coming attractions” in your life.

Whatever you imagine, consistently, is what you program your unconscious mind with.

Research demonstrates that poor people imagine staying poor and rich people imagine and daydream staying rich, hence, programming that manifest as behavior.

In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim Fortin reveals one of the most profound and underutilized powers available to every human being: the imagination. Far more than a place to daydream, imagination is what Jim calls the language of God — the invisible force that quite literally shapes every circumstance, relationship, and outcome in life. Drawing on wisdom from William James, Henry David Thoreau, and Ernest Holmes, Jim makes the compelling case that everything in the external world — money, health, relationships — is simply the effect of what has already been created in the imagination. 

Most people spend their lives reacting to appearances — the bank balance, the body in the mirror, the job they've outgrown — and treating those appearances as fixed facts. But Jim challenges that assumption entirely. Your circumstances are not facts. They are temporary effects. And the cause of every single one of them traces back to your imagination. The question is no longer whether you're using your imagination — you already are, constantly. The question is whether you're using it consciously, deliberately, and in your favor. 

If you've ever wondered why certain things just won't change no matter how hard you try, this episode gives you the missing piece — and a step-by-step practice to start using your imagination to get anything you want. 

What You'll Discover in This Episode: 

(00:00) Imagination is far more than daydreaming — Jim opens with a foundational reframe: imagination isn't fantasy, it's the God power within you, and every act of thinking is simultaneously an act of imagining. 

(09:34) Your circumstances are effects, not facts — Jim explains that the bank account, the body, and the bank balance are all temporary effects of a deeper cause — and that cause is always the imagination. 

(14:54) The critical difference between thinking of and thinking from — Most people imagine their desires from a place of lack and distance, when the key is to imagine already living from the fulfilled reality. 

(20:13) Why wanting something keeps it away — Jim reveals the counterintuitive truth: telling the universe you want something simultaneously tells it you don't have it — and the universe simply agrees. 

(25:34) How to bring your imagination to life with sensory detail — Jim walks through layering in sound, smell, touch, and physical sensation to make imagined realities feel real, and shares a powerful healing story from a student in his Transformational Coaching Program. 

(29:33) The bedtime practice that programs your subconscious overnight — Jim explains how the theta brainwave state just before sleep is the most powerful window to impress your desires onto the subconscious mind — and why what you "take to bed" can change everything. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

 

Transformational Takeaway 

Your imagination is not a luxury — it is your salvation. Everything you currently have in your life was first created in the theater of your imagination. That means you are not a victim of your reality. You are its author. Know exactly what you desire. Create the mental scene as if it is already fulfilled. Give it texture — smell it, hear it, feel it. Hand it to your subconscious mind, especially in those precious moments just before sleep. Stop imagining from a place of lack and longing. Start imagining from the life you are already living in your mind. Your external world has no choice but to catch up.

Have you ever wondered how truly powerful your mind is?

We all hear different stories about the “Power of the Mind” but have you experienced that in your own life?

Personally, I used my “mind” to heal from a stroke and heart failure, all of which happened in a single year, 2020. And, as I was healing I was searching Youtube for inspirational videos and stories.

I had never even taken so much as a prescription until my ordeals and I was wondering and searching for, “How do I heal myself beyond what modern medicine says I can do?

I came across a video by a man named Bob Cafaro and it was titled, “The Psychology Of Beating An Incurable Disease.” The title sucked me in immediately and the video did not disappoint. As a far of matter, it was the single most impactful video that I watched.

Bob healed himself from an incurable disease, Multiple Sclerosis. You read that right. He headed himself 100% using the power of his mind.

I’m ecstatic because I’m visiting with Bob in this episode and he shares the specific activities that healed him. Before I talked to him, I was blown away because as we were talking, he shared how he “did the impossible,” literally. So, how does the interview apply to you and help you live a better life? Easy, if you’re in any way physically ill listening to this podcast episode can do one of the most important things you ever do and if you’ve never been in such circumstances, Bob demonstrates the power of doing the impossible.
