I Put Manifesting to the Test in Three Different Ways

Thank you Sue for your three stories. She is new to this and did not have any special skills or gifts but just followed the information in the book. She also had the very big advantage of understanding how her thoughts can actually create change. This is not wishing and hoping, but literally building by using thoughts and gratitude, simply and powerfully. It’s all in the book, so make it work for you! Note: The woman that is central to Manifesting 123, Judy Goodman, will be holding a workshop, “Why Do We Hurt” in the Denver metro Sat. Nov 5.  compete info Ken Dear Ken, I heard your radio interview on manifesting and was highly intrigued!  I immediately bought your book and have been reading it. I’d like to share some stories where I deliberately used the ideas in the book to manifest something. #1 First I thought I’d try to manifest hearing from a friend whom I hadn’t heard from for a long time. I pictured her contacting me, either by email or by phone (I tried not to be too specific) and then I pictured myself hearing from her and getting very excited. I kept on doing this during the day whenever I thought about it. Each time I did it I expressed gratitude for hearing from her and really put as much gratitude and excitement into it as I could. I did occasionally have some doubts, but I just pushed them away and went back to my visualization. That night I checked my email and there was not just one, but 2 emails from her! I was so excited, just as I had pictured, and immediately gave thanks! #2 The second occasion was when I was helping my mom-in-law to move. It had been a long and difficult process and now it was the day of the move. Everything was packed into the moving truck and I was driving in front of them to lead them to her new house when it began to rain very heavily. We are in Florida where it really pelts down. I started manifesting that it would clear up before we needed to unpack the truck. I visualized the sky as clear, without rain and I expressed my gratitude. This idea was a little harder because I kept thinking that I couldn’t influence the weather and such, but I told myself that it was for the higher good of helping her and it could rain again after the truck was unpacked. So I quite intensely saw that there was no rain and gave thanks as it continued to pour. When we got to the gate of her community it was still pouring and I was ignoring the doubts that were trying hard to intrude! As we drove up to her house it suddenly stopped raining and a few minutes later the sun even came out!! I was very, very grateful and grinning from ear to ear! #3 Last is the example of my deliberate manifestation with a flight back home. My husband, who has Parkinson’s disease, and I were both exhausted and emotionally drained from the visit after assisting someone close to us that was in an accident. We had upgraded our tickets to first class, wanting an easy flight home, but they gave us seats in economy. My husband was very upset and all his pent up feelings about assisting after the accident came out. Before boarding, we were told that there were no seats left in first class and that they were very sorry, but we’d have to write to the airline to get a refund. He was understandably angry, called for a supervisor while I decided to manifest seats in first class. I sat down and really focused on getting seats in the first class section. There are only 12 first class seats so I had to push away thoughts that I may be wanting something impossible or that it would cause other people inconvenience. That took a bit of extra focus but I was determined to see us in first class and I was so grateful for those seats. My husband tried to talk to me about how frustrated and angry he was but I asked him to please let me concentrate and to try to focus his energy on seeing us getting the first class seats. After about 20 minutes they started boarding the plane. We went over to the desk and the supervisor handed us 2 boarding passes for first class!!!  I started grinning from ear to ear and after expressing huge gratitude, said to my husband, “Don’t you see what just happened?”  I’m not sure he did! I can’t explain how this came to be. Perhaps 2 people had to be moved to economy or they didn’t show up for the flight, but I figured that’s not my business. That’s for the universe to sort out. This manifesting experience was fun!!! Thank you so much for your book and for explaining these simple tools and how they actually work to help us consciously create the life we want.  I’m telling everyone about it! Many blessings and grateful thanks to you, Sue Have a manifesting story to share?

A Serious Disease, My Troubled Past and Manifesting a Healthy Solution

M. writes: This summer I was diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism.  This is a silent and deadly killer that often goes undiagnosed. The four parathyroid glands control the amount of calcium in the blood. When one of these glands develops a tumor it becomes hyper and sends out too much calcium. The result is that the bones dump much larger than normal amounts of calcium into the blood. What follows is a weakening of the bones and the high levels of blood calcium can do serious damage to many of the organs and systems in the body. This disease presents itself in many different ways and is very difficult to diagnose. Chronic fatigue is common as well as problems with different organs, blood pressure, altered moods and many more. If this is not treated the person usually dies from major organ failure or stroke. A good source of information about this disease can be found at www.parathyroid.com I don’t believe that illnesses are always the result of ”wrong thinking.” Our bodies are very complex and so is the environment in which we live. As a nurse, I understand things like viruses, superbugs, chemical imbalances and lifestyle choices.  As a spiritual person, I believe we can be greatly influenced by our own thoughts and feelings. We know that what we think and feel can be translated into chemical responses throughout the body. Fear triggers a different response than being in love. I reviewed my life and some very interesting facts emerged. I was in a “traditional” marriage for 40 years. My husband was the head of the family and my job was to take care of him, the kids and keep a happy home. I was the good wife. I held my tongue and did not stand up for my needs. I buried my hurt deep inside my heart and worked to exhaustion at times to make sure everyone was cared for. I didn’t rock the boat and I remained sweet and supportive. The disease I was suffering with attacked my body and soul in symbolic locations. It hit my bones, throat, heart and drained the energy of my spirit. I felt a correlation between my bones and the fact that I didn’t stand up to my needs in the past. I had tumors entangled in my throat, perhaps from a lack of using my voice to express myself. My heart experienced high blood pressure and palpitations. I was carrying the weight of unfulfilled dreams, hurts, longings, and disappointments. This disease drained my spirit of energy so I was fatigued all the time and suffered erratic sleep patterns. It affected my concentration and memory as well. I was not in good shape so I set forth an action to be healed. I used the techniques and information in Manifesting 123. Since the book explained how my thoughts actually create what I think, I felt empowered to imagine a future where I had been returned to perfect health. I did this every day using the simple movie technique and I expressed gratitude for my healing. I did a lot of research and came across a hospital with the doctors and experience that felt comfortable to me. This hospital was across the country from my home but everything I needed for the trip fell into place beautifully. I was assigned to a team of surgeons and the head of surgery took the lead on my operation. I’m very grateful for their work. The head surgeon told me afterwards that the procedure was a challenge because the tumor has grown around my vocal chords. The surgery went wonderfully and I had a very fast recovery from my debilitating disease. Further, I have forgiven myself for any negative thoughts and choices I have made. I’m committed to remain healthy by standing up for myself and speaking to my needs. I allow my heart to feel safe with my emotions and I lovingly feed and take care of my body and spirit. I still can’t believe how everything fell into place so quickly and how dramatically I returned to health. Looking back, I can see how my past thoughts and actions may have played into my illness. My friend Judy Goodman, who plays a large role in the book, makes a statement, ”Our thoughts raise up to meet us and create the path we travel on.” Did I manifest all of those? I’ll let you decide for yourself. As for me, I now examine my thoughts, roles and relationships very carefully. I understand how our thoughts and choices create reality so in my life, I am manifesting a beautiful future going forward. M. Have a manifesting story to share?

I Received the Greater Gift

I recently hit a rough spot financially and my worries were really kicking in. Years ago, as a young mother of two, my existence was week to week and paying the bills was a constant worry. I had to constantly watch even the smallest purchases. That was years ago and I have been very fortunate until lately. The money worries were back, pulling on me constantly. How was I going to meet my obligations going forward? I am now a homeowner, so I am thinking longer term, from year to year and the numbers are larger. I had a feeling that something would happen. I was thinking wouldn’t it be nice if some money came in. I remember thinking that there would be a check coming in and I said, “Thank you,” in advance. That was it. Later that afternoon I got a call from my brother. Surprisingly, our family lawyer had been contacted by an organization that was holding a very old deposit from my deceased grandmother.  The amount of money on deposit wasn’t known, but my siblings and I were instructed to sign documents and release the funds to us. As you can imagine, had some fantasies about what that dollar amount could be. Now I between worrying about my lack of money or thinking about how much could be coming in. Things were happening quickly and I was a jumble of thoughts. My goal was to manifest a solution to my financial problems in the long term and to lessen my concerns about money. I began to do some focused manifesting and a did some asking with prayers from time to time. Once the paperwork was submitted, I waited to hear back from the lawyer. In the two-week interim I thought about how quickly my asking and manifesting had produced a response and I was thankful. Something shifted inside me and my worries began to be reduced. I was being filled with a greater gratitude for all that I have. Finally, the answer came back from the lawyer and I was informed that $400 was being mailed to me. I smiled. As it turns out, this episode was a rich one for me. My worries were greatly diminished. A decades-old deposit was quickly directed to me and I gained wisdom and peace along with the way. What are the odds of that? But there was more. It was like I got a friendly tap on the shoulder saying, “It’s OK. Here’s something for now and we are working on the bigger things. It will take a little more time but it will be delivered to you.” I can’t explain how it happened, but I love this new calm and happiness. Also I can see how the financial concerns will now work out to my benefit. Now I have the calm and patience to see it through. My life is one of service and now that I have less personal concerns, I am more available and valuable to others. How interesting that this new tranquility came in advance of the full financial solution, but am very happy with that. This is not what I planned or expected, it’s much more valuable. I will keep asking and manifesting, something I didn’t do enough of before, but much has changed now. I am grateful to feel more in charge of my life and for my many blessings.

I Got the $6000 I Wanted – OUCH!

I’m an East Coast artist in a small, tourist community. When Ken came to town to teach one of his art classes, he reserved the last evening for a Manifesting 123 lecture. From that talk I felt like I had a real understanding of how manifesting could work for me. I read your book and began a plan that would specify the amount of art sales that I wanted each month. I started by visualizing a future where I had sales of $2000 to $3000 a month. Happily, I saw that materialize, a really big deal. Now I’m on a roll. Getting those sales was a real confidence builder so it got me to thinking I can do more. I developed a new plan that was even more ambitious. Every day I made sure to say that I want $6000. I’m going to double my income simply by thinking it. This is really exciting stuff. Because the rewards are so great, I had plenty of incentive and the need to stay on track to want that $6000. I opened my mail the other day and got a shock. There was my number in a letter, the $6000. It was a past due property tax bill exactly in the amount I had been working on! What the heck is going on with that? I gave him a call and he had me go through my story a couple of times. How could I have been a quick success one month and be doubly backwards shortly after? As Ken pointed out, there was a distinct pattern in my story. Every time I made mention of the $6000, I prefaced it with the words ‘want’ or ‘need.’ Congratulations were in order. I was powerfully manifesting that I wanted or needed $6000, repeating it every day and I made it happen. When the tax bill came in, I was quickly in need of exactly that amount. Since then, I have learned that what what we say creates form in a very literal way. Fortunately, the $6000 wasn’t going to be a major problem since I had it in savings, but DURN IT ! Back to plan A: I visualize that in my future I am bringing in $6000 a month, the equivalent or more. Further, I am very grateful for how it all came about. I have not tied this income to art sales or even money. This visual allows for a variety of positive results including a reduction in the bills and expenses I typically pay. That is the equivalent of income too – I get it! I am a believer and further, I watch what I say, particularly when it comes to statements using want or need! No being wanting or needy again for me!

Here It Is: Manifesting that Lottery Win!

Nicki has been keeping a gratitude journal on a daily basis for many years now. Recently she has begun to use what she learned in Manifesting 123 every day as well. She has seen positive results in a number of ways and she is very happy with the direction her life is taking. There is a feeling of being more in control of events, health and increased happiness. Her recent successes emboldened here to try something new with her daily gratitude journaling and manifesting. So two weeks ago she wrote, “I am so grateful that I got a winning lottery ticket.” A little background on Nicki’s lottery experiences. She hasn’t bought many lottery tickets in the past but when she did, it was only for the large Powerball drawings. In an average year, she would buy 8-12 individual lines per visit, not tickets of 5 lines at a time. She had only purchased about a dozen of the lesser prize Lotto tickets in about thirty years. A couple of weeks after her lottery journal entry, Nicki was grocery shopping and she got the urge to buy a lottery ticket. Not the Powerball that she was accustomed to, but the smaller Lotto drawing. She bought a single line for $1. A few days later, I was out on errands and I had the ‘hit’ to call her. Without hesitating, I dialed her up. I was a few sentences into a conversation when I heard her say, “Oh wow! Oh WOW!” I laughed and said that those were Steve Job’s last words. (An intriguing, true story: link) She told me something unbelievable just happened. When I called out of the blue like that, she felt compelled to check her lotto ticket online while we were talking. Nicki got 5 out of the 6 numbers on her Lotto ticket! We were both laughing and practically screaming at each other. 5 out of 6! What are the odds? Actually, they are 1 in 5,245,786 for all 6 numbers and 1 in 24,287 for 5 out of 6. She won $500, just one number short of the 7 million that day, but there is more to what happened here. Nicki set out an intention by writing it down, using a journal of gratitude and visualizing her future where she was a lottery winner. She got an exact result. Note that she didn’t specify the jackpot exactly, only that she won the lottery, and so she did. (Go for the jackpot next time!) With gratitude and intention, Nicki created a result that very few people experience. She learned to go for something beyond her usual experience. She is worthy. Her win was a personal validation. Trusting her instincts, she bought the smaller prize  Lotto ticket, something she had done less than a dozen times, ever. She learned that the impossible is well within her reach. When Nicki redeemed her ticket, the counter clerk was a bit shocked and very excited. Together, Nicki and the clerk relived the joy of that moment and marveled at the rarity of it, a double treat. It was a bolt out of the blue, as they say. Note that your odds of being struck by lightning this year are 1 in 960,000. In your lifetime those odds drop to about 1 in 12,000. When I mentioned to someone about a manifesting story where a person had manifested $500, we agreed that it wasn’t that special. But when I told them Nicki won it with 5 out of 6 lottery numbers, my friend said it was incredible, an ecstatic event and just about impossible. 20 years ago I knew a friend of a friend that got 5 out of 6 numbers… that’s it, until now. Manifesting the idea of a lottery win is just fine, but it is actually a very limiting idea. Allow for the equivalent of that jackpot and increase the potential outcomes dramatically. In the end, what would you do with a big jackpot? Better health? Financial security? Freedom? Happiness? 

Manifest those ideas and imagine that they have already happened in your future. Make a point to think of your 7 grateful things every day. Remember that your thoughts are literally taking form as you think it. Manifesting 123 gives you the How and the Skills to make anything possible. Time to write your own ticket! As the Lotto slip says, ‘Expect the Unexpected!” Ken Have a manifesting story to share?

Here’s a Miracle: Getting Mom on a Plane to Las Vegas!

Hello Ken, I’ve been here before with other stories and it’s amazing how I have manifested so many situations. Sometimes I just forget this and I go back to my normal life, but for some reason I keep listening to your interviews again and again because I want to fully understand and use this important tool every day. I like listening to your interviews on the website and sometimes I feel like we have known each other from a long time ago. I know you have a lot of heart, clarity and love. It is as if we are dear friends when I hear those interviews. I’m so glad you shared your Manifesting 123 discoveries with us. Here is a new manifesting story about my recent trip to Las Vegas – something I have wanted to do and happily, it manifested for me! A few months ago I made a vision board with a number of things on it, among those was my wish to to go to Las Vegas. I do not know why, but it was on my mind all the time. On my vision board and I wrote on the Vegas photo, “My free trip to Las Vegas in August 2016 for one week.”  Hummm… I wondered how this would happen. I was obligated to see my family in Mexico that month, so Las Vegas didn’t seem likely. Regardless, I stayed with that vision board and also visualized myself in the future there. When I arrived in Mexico, my mom wanted to go on some kind of vacation but she is afraid to fly. She could not decide where to go and with an eye on her budget, she decided to invite me on some kind of local trip with my son. So as a joke I said, “Well why not fly to Las Vegas?” knowing that the flight was long, outside the budget and that she would not get on a airplane. To my great surprise she said yes! We all went to Vegas and when I arrived and walked the streets that I had seen in movies and on the YouTube videos, it was like a déjà vu. I’m still processing the information, but of course I am so grateful. I can’t believe I was there, a delightful surprise. In some of my manifestations my mom has been the means by which the money comes to me. I wonder if I should add at the end of my manifesting movie, “… and the money comes perfectly from a new source “???  I do not know Ken, but I am very happy to have made this trip with my family. Thank you dear mom! Thank you for your story Martha and I appreciate your kind comments. Nicely done to get mom on that plane and everyone happily happily vacationing in Las Vegas! I wonder what you will manifest next? You have a great idea, imagining money coming from other sources and removing the limits of how the finances can be taken care of. As you are aware, there is the equivalent of money and it can appear in seemingly magical ways. I applaud you!! Here are some stories about the equivalent of money idea. Keep in mind that there are many equivalents, not just money when you are manifesting, so be mindful of any limited thinking. You can create anything, or that equivalent. There is the Equivalent of Money The Equivalent of Money Here’s Another One of the Equivalent of Money Stories Keep creating wonderful things! Ken Have a manifesting story to share?

Manifesting and My Worthiness

Thank you, Stephen for this story. When I first read it, the subject of the knife was a bit jarring but I know Stephen to be a kind, considerate and ethical person. At the core of this is the idea that our thoughts can create anything: knives, cars, lawnmowers and concepts like happiness, less stress and abundance. I keep coming back to his statement about worthiness and his resulting success. Ken From Stephen: I’m really interested in primitive skills. I love being in wild places looking for interesting and useful things. When I’m indoors I sometimes chat about my interests on internet forums. Related to this is my appreciation of cutting implements like axes and knives. I have more knives than I need, but I still make or acquire a knife from time to time.  There is often a ‘better’ knife for a particular task. For most of my life I’ve been interested in the connection between our thoughts/beliefs and what we experience.  I was raised in Christian Science, a religion in which it is considered normal to change things through prayer or ‘right thought’. In more recent years I have explored meditation, the use of affirmations, and visualization.   I recently enjoyed Ken Elliott’s book “Manifesting 123…” and I think his method of visualizing a future ‘movie’ is a great idea. I am fairly certain that our thinking, attitudes and beliefs do affect our experience. Possibly to a much greater degree than I’m prepared to admit to at this stage. As I look at my own life and the lives of others, I think I can see a definite connection between the mental and the physical realms. Here is a recent example…. Earlier this year I visualized ‘knife satisfaction.’ I did not own a decent big knife that would be useful for heavier work like chopping, so I was looking for that tool. This was before I had downloaded Ken’s book, but I think what I was doing was pretty darn close to playing one of Ken’s movies in my mind. ‘Knife satisfaction’ is probably a subject that isn’t considered much by many students of manifestation and the topic may not seem as worthy as ‘world peace.’  However…. charity starts at home, and until I can demonstrate some manifesting success for myself, I can’t be sure that I can do much to help the world. Furthermore, I’m inclined to think that when individuals are passionately doing their own thing, the world must become a better place (provided that the ‘own thing’ is motivated by high ideals). A short time after the visualization exercise, I uploaded an outdoors story and some photos to an internet forum.  Another member made a comment saying that he thought my story would have included a ‘BK9,’ this being a well-respected, large knife that would be very suitable for heavier tasks in the bush. The BK9 is a Becker knife made by Ka-Bar in the USA. I responded that while I’d like a knife like that, they were relatively expensive to buy from New Zealand. Another member said ‘you must have a BK9.’ I could buy such a knife but I couldn’t really justify the purchase considering that I had other tools that would suffice. It was possible that one day I might buy one. Within a few days of posting my story, two guys in the USA contacted me to get my address because they each wanted to give me a BK9 knife. This was a bit hard to deal with in a way. I guess I felt a bit unworthy of being given things that I hadn’t earned. Perhaps I needed to learn a bit about my own true worthiness. Outwardly I’d be inclined to say that everyone was worthy of good stuff, and this is something I believed in theory, but inside things could be a bit different where my own history and feelings of worthiness were concerned. Even as I type this story I feel a little awkward about the generosity of those nice guys. Anyway, I supplied my address and I now have two beautiful knives that are proving to be excellent tools. This experience has given me some great food for thought about worthiness and what may be possible. Best wishes from New Zealand.. Stephen   Photo credit:  Manifesting New Zealand

My Gratitude Journal Manifested the Perfect SUV!

I’ve been driving my 2001 Tahoe since I bought it at the end of 2001. It is a great family car but after so many years of use I was starting to lose confidence in it. Once it broke down at a major intersection, a very big problem! We got it running again, but I was very leery of driving it on any of the long trips I often have to take. I keep a grateful journal, a very pleasurable exercise and it is part of my manifesting practice. After my Tahoe had broken down, I started writing in my grateful journal every day that I was VERY thankful for my next vehicle, a smaller luxury SUV. I didn’t visualize the color or brand—but I was thinking along the lines of a Lexus, Acura, Cadillac, or Lincoln. MAIN thing I wanted it loaded with everything and to include a heated steering wheel. It’s cold in the winter here! Writing in my journal, I also specified that this new SUV would not be a financial burden. Further, I was grateful that my Tahoe would work well for me until the perfect SUV came my way, covering my bases for now. Nine months later, at the exact intersection where my Tahoe broke down before, I broke down again! I put my foot down and said out loud that my car is out there waiting for me. My husband was, let’s just say, a wee bit ticked and refused to look at first. But even my kids got on him about upgrading to a newer model. We began to look and found something right away. It was a used Lincoln MKX, 2 1/2 years old (the big depreciation was already out if way) with less than 15,000 miles. Loaded with accessories including that heated steering wheel and still had the full factory warranty. It was just like new!! We did have to take out a loan, but the interest rate was VERY low. I believe less than 2%, so the payments aren’t a financial burden. Of course my kids got a vehicle out of it too—the Tahoe. It is perfect for them because they only drive around here and don’t travel long distances. My ‘little’ gratitude journal and singular focus manifested the perfect result – again. I am grateful, grateful, grateful! R.   Photo credit: Autoblog

As I Manifested It, Love Appeared and I Was Surrounded

I really like the simplicity of your ‘movie’ method for manifestation and I’ve been encouraged by the success stories you share in your book and newsletter. I thought I should contribute one of my early success stories in case others find it helpful. My first marriage came to an end after about 23 years. A short time later, I was in a good relationship with a lovely woman and we were very compatible in many ways. However I eventually felt that I was headed in a different direction and we didn’t seem to feel as ‘close’ as we should be. The feeling was mutual and sadly, that relationship ended. Around this time I was working as a security officer in the gatehouse of a large processing plant.  This entailed sitting behind a window for long periods of time without much to do.  This gave me the opportunity to think about life and to read books.  I read quite a few ‘self improvement’ and ‘spiritual’ books. A few of the books propounded the idea of using affirmations to help make changes in our lives. This all happened before I’d come across ‘Manifesting 123…’, but I think I was operating in a fairly similar way to that described in your book. One day in the security office I was thinking about my present situation. I decided to create an affirmation that reflected how I’d like my life to be. I was currently working mostly with men and I didn’t really have any female friends. Many years before I had gone to an all-boys school and I felt I needed a better balance, so I declared “I have intimate relations with beautiful women.” To some, that affirmation might sound a bit, well, ‘naughty’. I guess I could have tweaked that affirmation for this newsletter so as not to give the wrong impression, but I wouldn’t feel honest in doing that. By stating “intimate relations with beautiful women,” I didn’t mean that I wanted to sleep around.  It meant that I wanted to spend more time in close and meaningful relationships with women whose company I enjoyed. I made that affirmation maybe once or a few times and I felt really good. It took me to a place where I really felt that I could enjoy some good results.  Of course things could work out for me. Just a few minutes later, aa attractive young woman came to the security office to ask a question. It was fairly evident that she wasn’t ‘the one.’ but it was nice to get confirmation that there were lovely females around who could interact with me.  I took it as a sign. In about two weeks, I was invited to go to a cafe where a number of people I was loosely connected with started to have a regular get-together. One member of this group was a woman whom I had met before. Her husband had passed away about two years prior. We seemed nicely compatible and I enjoyed her company. I didn’t know her current circumstances and didn’t give it much thought while we all mingled at the cafe. When it was time to go home, I walked fairly quickly toward my car. Suddenly I realized this woman had overtaken me.  She turned in front of me, looked me squarely in the face and told me how good it had been talking to me. Well it was pretty good talking to her too, especially at that moment. Her gorgeous blue eyes and smile were very appealing to me. If there is such a thing as love at first sight, then perhaps that is the moment it happened to me. We married within a few months, and it has been wonderful. In case you are wondering about the ‘women’ (plural) aspect of my affirmation, it is interesting to note that my wife has four adult daughters and two sweet granddaughters. In addition, I have developed a closer relationship with my own married daughter and her cute daughter as well. I’m also pleased to say that I’m corresponding more regularly with my adventurous second daughter and it is always good to hear what she has been up to. More recently my son seems to have found himself a nice girlfriend. In a very short time I have many charming and beautiful girls and women it my life, apleasant change! I should also mention that there are also three grandsons between us, so life is rich. I am now involved in a new job where I interact with all sorts of interesting people. There are still challenges but I’m thinking that if it weren’t for the difficulties, the good times wouldn’t seem to be as sweet. Thanks to your book, I now understand how my thoughts are creating what I imagine. It is a real tool, a gift that I continually use with confidence.
