A James Bond life paid for with talent, will, and perseverance

So how does a little girl with a broken nose, frizzy hair, and braces who was weirdly smart end up living her own version of a James Bond lifestyle? With a mindset like Forbes Riley’s, it’s no wonder she’s been able to accomplish all the things she has. And she just keeps going!

It’s not without her share of heartbreak, letdowns, and disappointment though. Not that she let any of that hold her down for long. She had dreams and she hustled to make those dreams her reality.

Manifesting your reality

Forbes describes white space as the places where something is missing. She says she’s glad most people don't see the white space or it'd all be cluttered with people. But she says the manifesting thing is accessible to all of us. It's so much so she calls it Forbes'd. What have you Forbes'd lately? Which means to manifest it especially when no one else thinks it's possible.

She asks people all the time about their belief and says she has very firm philosophies on belief. Forbes asked what’s in the middle of the word belief? L-I-E. It's a lie. She says we're all telling ourselves a lie. It's a lie about your past. Who knows what really happened? You make up stories. She goes on to say I don't know what your parents are really like and neither do you. You were little at the time and when you're little things are different. She thinks somehow most of us let a four-year-old drive our bus because we think we remember something way back when, in fact, what we do remember is not what happened. We remember the decision that we made about it, and that usually adversely affects our lives because that decision is kind of the hard drive, the core principle of your life.
