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!
