, another absolutely winning move is to write in a journal. And so I
had these made for you by an Italian craftsperson. Hope they work wonders
for you.”
The magnate looked down Via dei Condotti. Street cleaners were hard at
work. Tourists were strolling along the avenue, taking selfies and buying
trinkets from street vendors.
“The Spellbinder loves hanging with me here in Roma. If we’re lucky,

we’ll see him later this morning. I know he went running at daybreak along
the river to Prati before heading off to a fishing excursion at a place a few
hours from here. Oh, by the way, he formalized writing in a journal for at
least a few of the minutes between 5:20 and 5:40 
AM
with the term ‘Daily
Diaries.’ The key when you do this is just to write. Don’t think too much.
Simply download your commitments for the hours ahead, record your
precious ambitions and activate your gratitude by listing what’s good in your
life right now. Please also use your journal as a place to process through any
frustrations, disappointments and resentments in your heart so you let them
go. It’s miraculous how you’ll release toxic emotions and low energy from
your system when you write down your suppressed hurts, freeing up
maximum creativity, premium vitality and unmatchable performance.”
“A super way to fireproof and fortify my Heartset, right?” said the
entrepreneur.
“Yahoo!” applauded the billionaire, who then placed a finger upon the
learning model on the first page of his journal.
“Here are some of the rewards you’ll receive when you invest ten or
perhaps the entire twenty minutes of pocket number two of your Victory Hour
in writing your Daily Diaries. And to repeat so I reinforce, I suggest you don’t
write only the positive elements of your current life but also those aspects of
your experience that are causing discomfort and pain. Because the quickest
way out of hard emotions is to have the wisdom and courage to go straight
into them. Feel them to heal them. Name them to let go of them. Put a written
voice to the dark energy of life’s burdens to dissolve them. These are
breakthrough insights I’m revealing to you two here. Because once you
reclaim the power blocked by layers of toxic emotions and the wounds of the
past, your Mindset, Heartset, Healthset and Soulset will all soar exponentially.
And when your four interior empires escalate through your effortful self-
purification, your supreme self begins to assume command. This then yields
the external empires you both hope to see more of. What I’m trying to explain
is this: difficult feelings that you don’t find a healthy way to remove become
repressed, which creates stress, poor productivity and even disease.”
“Cool diagram,” acknowledged the artist. “Are you saying that if I don’t
feel the uncomfortable feelings, they build up and get stuck inside me to the
point where I could get sick?”
“Yes, what you just said is pretty much what I’m suggesting,” Mr. Riley
confirmed. “Those stuck toxic emotions layer over your gifts, talents and
higher wisdom. This is one of the primary reasons most people on the planet
have forgotten the heroes they are. When we avoid feeling, we lose access to
our most powerful selves and forget the truths of life: that each of us can

accomplish astounding things, and produce astonishing works, and realize
radiant health, and know true love, and live a magical life, and be helpful to
many. I speak fact here. But most of us have so much fear, pain, anger and
sorrow built up over our real selves, we have no sense of the opportunities
that sit right in front of us. All that dark energy blinds us from seeing them.
And blocks our access to our primal genius. The great people of history had
this access. Today, the majority have lost it.”
“A magical life?” stated the entrepreneur. “You keep speaking of magic.
Sounds a little far out. A little granola.”
“Yes, a magical life,” responded the billionaire firmly, but politely. “I’ll
explain how you enter the magic available to all of us when we get to South
Africa. Once you learn what I’ll teach you in the vineyard there, your ability
to manifest more money, better health, greater joyfulness and deeper inner
peace will grow dramatically. But I can’t share anything about how to live in
the magic yet. I’m not allowed to,” commented the billionaire mysteriously.
“You need to feel a wound to heal a hurt,” the billionaire continued with
precision. “I’ve endured a lot of suffering in my life. Business defeats,
personal losses, physical failures. I’m actually going through something right
now that’s creating sorrow in my heart.” The billionaire’s high-spirited
demeanor suddenly began to fade. For an instant, he looked older. He
hunched over. And his breathing grew labored. But then he recovered.
“Anyhoo, the good news,” he said energetically as he raised both arms
high into the Roman air, “is that I’m not carrying much past pain in my
wonderful present and into my fantastic future. I used the Daily Diary practice
