Your Wish is Your Command

Here is an that demonstrates the power of our minds and our inherit ability to change our world according to our .   It’s all in what you believe is possible!

Anything At All

I took a ten evening course on goals and the first night the instructor gave us a blank booklet and said, “Write down a goal you have.”  And then she said, “Okay, write down another one.”  This went on for about ten minutes and we were all getting a bit bored.  And then she said, “Write down another one.”  This went on for the entire three hours!  All she said was, “Write down a goal.”  “Okay, write down a goal.  Don’t use the fact that you can’t think of another one to not write down the next goal.  JuDollar Signst keep writing.”  For three hours!

When it was all over, she said, “Okay, now I want you to do a special thing.  I want you to write down a goal, but this one is special.  On this one you can wave a magic wand and write down anything you want.  It doesn’t have to obey the law.  It doesn’t have to obey gravity.  It doesn’t have to live up to any requirement of anything. Just imagine you have a magic wand.”

Now remember, I had been writing goals for three hours. Everything I could think of: money, health, relationships, travel - anything I could think of for three hours.  So I said to myself, “Okay, it doesn’t have to obey the law.  Okay, I want to live in a whole house full of beautiful naked women.”  It was embarrassing, but that’s what I wrote down.  I didn’t tell anybody this for ten years. I had been dredging my mind to think of anything I could for three hours so I just made that up.

Sandra, the instructor said, “Okay, I’ll meet you back here one week from today for the next class, and by the way, that last one is the one that will get fulfilled.”  Everyone in the room gasped.

When we returned to class a week later, I was absolutely shocked. During that week I had met a woman, Carla, who later became my second wife.  We went on a date and I went nuts over her and asked her if I could stay overnight.  She said “Yes.”

I stayed overnight and in the morning, her daughters –she had two little girls– came running in bare naked and of course, Carla was in bed with me naked.  I said, “Oh my God!  I’m in a house full of beautiful naked women!”  Except of course, two of them were two and four years old!  I guess I forgot to be specific enough in my request.

So I came to the class and the instructor says, “Put up your hand if you remember the very last goal that you wrote down that was totally outrageous and didn’t obey gravity or the law or anything.  Pup your hand if it has already came true in one week!”  Fifty of us - one quarter of all the people in the room - put our hands up.

She said, “I’ve done this many times.  It’s the last one you wrote that always comes true. It is because I am the teacher and because I said it with total conviction.  I didn’t try to convince you of it, in which case you could be skeptical; I just announced it as an obvious fact.”   Of course, none of us had believed her at the time, and yet one quarter of the people in the room had achieved their goal.

60 Foot Yacht

We had goose bumps because people jumped up and said what their goals had been.  The wanted their income to go up by a factor of ten.  They wanted a sixty foot yacht, and meanwhile they were just a social worker or teacher.  And in the intervening week, some relative they didn’t know had died and they inherited a sixty foot yacht.   Our jaws dropped open for every one of them because originally Sandra had specifically said, “Make sure it doesn’t obey gravity of have any restrictions of law or anything.”  So we went totally wild.

Then she said something even more shocking.  She said, “By the way, it happened because you all believed me.”  I stood up and said, “Sandra, I want to understand something.  If you had said a different one, then that’s the one that one quarter of us would have fulfilled?”  She said, “Yeah, sometimes I say it’s the third one that you wrote down.”

Everybody in the room opened their books to read the third one because we could just as easily have had that instead.  We were sitting there totally stunned.

There were people in the room who were crying.  She had told us that second evening that there’s nothing out there.  There are no rules and ther’s no law.   It’s not that we’re lawless,  it’s rather that you create with your mind so powerfully.  It’s all in what you believe is possible.  - Raymond R.

Just coincidence or true?  Just some far-fetched fairy tale or a true testimony of the power of our ?

It is certainly true.  We do have the ability at our fingertips to achieve all we could desire.  We can turn our lives around and reap the riches of a truly well-lived life.  All we need do is believe!

Gina’s Answer to Tanya’s Question

Gina, I need some help for my daughter.  She is really feeling down at this time.  She was asking me last night about how I stay positive.  I was trying to get it in my head where to begin with her.  She is lonely.  She just wants to get married and start a family and she doesn’t have a boyfriend.  Of course, this makes her think - what is wrong with me? On top of that, she is a week away from Valentine’s Day and she works at a flower shop.  Imagine the stress. I talked with her about thinking and focusing on good and positive thoughts, but I need to direct her.  Should she start with “The Secret”? She is 29.
Please Help!    Tanya, Georgia

From what you have told me, I doubt there is anything “wrong” with her, other than her expectations and beliefs.   Many people expect to fail, expect to be hurt or disappointed.  I have a feeling this may be the case with her.  It also sounds like she believes something is wrong with her preventing her from having a boyfriend, husband and father. Share the following with her:

Negative Expectations
“Whatever you expect, either positive or negative, becomes your own self-fulfilling prophecy.”  In other words, you do not necessarily get what you want, but you get what you expect. If you confidently expect something to happen, that expectation has a powerful effect on your attitude and your personality. The more positive your expectations, the more likely it is that you will do and say the things that are consistent with what you expect to happen. As a result, the probability that you will achieve exactly what you are hoping for is dramatically increased.  If your expectation of a thing is negative, your own self-fulfilling prophesy will bring about negative results.

If you see yourself as confident and successful prior to meeting a new person, that is how you will perform in the actual situation. If you see yourself as not being particularly popular, confident, or attractive, this negative self-image will cause you to project that.

Negative Self-Talk
Negative self-talk can be very damaging to your self-esteem. When you keep saying negative things to yourself, (There must be something wrong with me.) eventually you begin to believe them.  We must be aware of our negative self-talk and stop it.  When you notice yourself saying something negative; when you realize you are saying unkind and untrue things about yourself, challenge them.  Is it really true?  Probably not.

If you see yourself as confident and successful prior to meeting a new person, that is how you will perform in the actual situation. If you see yourself as not being particularly popular, confident, or attractive, this negative self-image will cause you to project that.

One of the most important things anyone can do is to keep your mind full of exciting, positive, emotionalized pictures and images of the exact things you want to see materialize in your life, and in the world around you. This is one of the most difficult things to do, but one that will pay off in extraordinary ways.

Belief
To know that “It’s all about what you think” is the greatest wisdom of all.  This is the basic principle underlying most religion, psychology, philosophy and metaphysics.  In the New Testament it says, “According to your faith, it is done unto you.” In the Old Testament, it says, “As a man thinketh, in his heart (his beliefs), so is he.”

Take hold of this wisdom - Know that you are responsible for all that happens in your life, and that you ultimately have all the power to shape it and change it to your liking.  You are a divine child of God with unlimited potential.  You were meant to have and live all that you desire.

You have a DESIRE for a loving relationship, companionship, someone to share your life with, someone to have a family with, and share all the wonders and joys of life.  You were meant to have it, and you will have it if you accept and believe the

Once you have done this, you can begin to invoke the to manifest into your life the desires of your heart.  You will then begin to attract into your life, the person of your dreams.

Here is a link to a great book, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy.  This is one of my favorite books on the subject.  I believe it will help to understand some of the points I have tried to convey.
