It was a Simple Idea that Manifested Globally

I saw this article in the New York Times a couple of days ago, January 28, 2014.  Photo: A shipment of low-enriched uranium, equivalent to 10,000 warheads, arrived at an American plant in 2005. credit: USEC Thomas Neff, a physicist at MIT was thinking about the weapons grade nuclear material that the Soviet Union possessed after the end of the Cold War. This enormous and very dangerous stockpile could end up anywhere. The Soviet Union was coming apart. Thousands of nuclear weapons were stored and guarded in a less than optimal way. It was his intention to recycle these weapons and convert them into electrical generation. Dr. Neff had little name recognition and was a political novice with very little experience in arms-control. Regardless, Dr. Neff’s idea was a solution eventually embraced by politicians and scientists eager to diffuse this very serious problem for the world. In 1991, he attended a meeting of nuclear experts in Washington that was also attended by a Soviet delegation. The agenda was demilitarization. During a break he approached a member of the Soviet delegation, Mr. Mikhailov on his own. He asked Mr. Mikhailov if he would consider selling the uranium in those Soviet weapons to the U.S. It appeared to be an agreeable idea. The doctor went further and wrote an op-ed article in the New York Times that was published five days later. The idea moved forward. As it turns out, Dr. Neff ended up working for decades on the project that fulfilled his idea: Megatons to Megawatts. The United States bought the weapons-grade material and converted it for electrical generation. Last month, the final shipment of uranium from Russia was shipped to the United States. In 20 years, this program turned 20,000 Russian warheads into so much electricity it has illuminated one in 10 American lightbulbs. It’s calculated that the total electric power could illuminate the entire United States with its 20,000 cities and 115 million households for about two years. Or, it would be the equivalent of powering Washington DC for 185 years. One third of the atomic bomb fuel on the planet was eliminated. The potential of atomic terrorism was much reduced and the project produced much-needed cash for the Soviet Union, helping to further stabilize the country. Dr. Neff’s simple idea became 20 years work. It was incredibly complicated but he carried his intention through to the end. One person’s idea accomplished more than just about anyone else has done with nuclear disarmament. He estimates that he traveled to Russia 20 times to work on the original deal and its amendments. The lesson of the story he said, ”is that private citizens can actually do something.” Your thoughts have unlimited potential This story is a staggering example of how far a simple thought can go and what a difference it can make in the world. Early on, one man and then a very small group made it their task, their intention to make it a reality. Thought works this way. Everything around you was thought first. Your plastic pen was oil in the ground and it took thousands of man-hours to bring it to your home. Make a wish, have an idea and keep it in your consciousness. Watch for the opportunities to bring it to reality. Do good things for yourself. Perhaps you want to create something that serves others as well. Make history if you like.

Shooting the Moon!

John is a commissioned salesman selling a specialized product. People can order from a short menu of existing types or specify a custom item. It is important that John stays close to his customers with product updates but he can’t pester them with constant pitches. In a saturated market, his product stands out in a premium niche, but there is still abundant competition. After reading Manifesting 123 and getting good results personally, John made a plan to apply the principles to his sales career. There is a lot of income potential in this market, but the norm among the sales staff is to get by comfortably. There isn’t a lot of the ‘shoot the moon’ thinking going on. Being in sales often means that one often worries about the personal bills from month to month. It’s difficult to get months ahead of those expenses, but the possibility is there. His strategy was to use ‘comfortable’ as a baseline and make his goal a way to reach new customers and create larger sales. His company is coast to coast with many outlets representing the products. If John has a client contract him directly and they haven’t written orders with an outlet in the past, then the client is John’s at full commission. He could run national ads but they are expensive and create friction with some in the outlet group. John decided that he would begin to focus on the custom orders by becoming more knowledgable with the product and letting his present clients know about his creative edge in production and installation. Next, he polished his sales pitch and supporting documents. He had one more valuable tool. Every day he began to use the #1 of Manifesting 123 to visualize his future. John saw himself enjoying the increased success in his career. Within about six weeks he saw a result. It was a nice spike in traditional sales, but here’s the interesting part. There was a new shift in how he was creating income. Some of the outlets were contacting him for his installation expertise and client communication skills. He started getting commissions from those affiliates since he became part of the sale. Wonderful! Things were going great. He was still doing the manifesting Movie described in the book and was steadily getting ahead, putting some money into savings. Then one morning he awoke a with really good idea. He immediately put it to work in his Movie. It was that shoot the moon idea. In his future, new clients were calling him direct with very large orders. It didn’t matter how they heard about him, that wasn’t part of the visualization, it was about making direct sales. This way, John gets the full commission, a sizable difference. While we was at it, he visualized larger orders than he had ever written before, a fabulous combination. He didn’t have a clue how this could happen but why not try to manifest the big sale moon shot? It took two weeks. He got the call for the largest custom order he had ever written. He was very grateful to get it, but was it a fluke? Eight months passed and then something changed. Since last October, John has written a big order every month matching that first big one. He has never had a run like this and more big sales are pending. The clients are calling in out of the blue. It is as if he has a big billboard in the sky somewhere with his phone number…amazing! Some of these accounts have become repeat clients, making the entire process much easier. John is not comfortable as a writer, so he had me write it up and make sure it was passed on to you. Wow, thank you John! So how could this happen? John could see the problem and devised a strategy but how could he make it work? He wanted to standout from the crowd and reach bigger customers. It was quite the puzzle, particularly when his preference was to have clients call him directly. He couldn’t find a way around the limits in the present system so he made a plan without limits using Manifesting123. John doesn’t clearly know how all the new clients reached him. Two were from old, forgotten contacts and recommendations but the rest are a mystery. Regardless, the success he planned found him as if my magic. If it can work for John … ? We are rooting for you!

A Miracle is Needed and the Request Goes Out

From a lovely reader:Ken I know you recommend that part of our movie every day is to see ourselves enjoying perfect health. I think we all want that and families desire their children to be healthy as well. It seems a given that children will have it but alas, sometimes they do not. Often we hear from a friend asking for our helpful prayers and healing thoughts for others. In this case, it was a child’s teacher making this request on a healing network. She writes: “I wish to ask for your loving healing to go out to a young ex-school pupil of mine who is in a coma in Kings College Hospital, London, UK. Millie is 11 and has been given 72 hours to find a new liver, as her original transplant (as a baby) has failed.Despite all her health problems, she has always been a smiling, happy child, but sadly, 2 years ago her body started rejecting her transplant. The family has been through so much and if this is the time for Millie to leave them, then ask for strength to get them through. Mum, dad & her three younger sisters are with her. Thank you all. Love & light, Diane x “ Typically, we don’t hear back from the senders of these requests, but today our group that responded received a heart-warming email letting us know how things turned out. Here is the message we received: “They say miracles happen and one certainly happened today! Millie’s mum rang us at school this lunchtime to say Millie had just come back from transplant surgery – a donor liver was flown in during the early hours this morning. They do not know the donor so sadly, it would seem someone has lost a loved one for Millie to live. Our thoughts are with them too, but what a wonderful gift to give. Obviously it’s a long road ahead, but I feel the universe wouldn’t have given her this opportunity had they not wanted it to be successful. Thank you all for your loving healing & prayers. Love & light Diane x” She must be a special little girl, and the teacher that reached us with her request for help is undoubtedly a very caring individual. She has a trust that miracles can happen and a determination to ask for one. It’s an added blessing that the internet connectivity allows people who do not know each other to reach out and ask for what they need. Millie and her family have endured so much and many people were enlisted to pray and ask for Millie’s healing. With precious little time to spare, everything quickly came together perfectly. I’m really so overjoyed to hear that Millie will return to her family. Anonymous reader So much was required. The stakes couldn’t be any higher, so in their wisdom the biggest tool was brought to the problem, simply asking for the perfect solution. There is so much more complexity to this story than we know but the perfect solution appeared. The efforts of the family and those asked to help made a difference. Prayers are heard and your thoughts create. It’s big and anyone can do it.It was a miracle for the asking. Enjoy the miracle of your day, Ken Do you have a story of your own to share?

Manifesting the Really Big Deals – Multiple Choices

Last week a good friend called, wanting to come by and talk a bit. We met about five years ago and immediately hit it off. He wanted to talk about what has been happening with him lately and dropped a hint that manifesting would be involved.He brought over a nice bottle of wine and we settled in. When we first met years ago, I discussed manifesting but not in a form as concise as Manifesting 123. After that first meeting years ago, he told me he had a surprising result after using his thoughts to make change. A month ago, he read Manifesting 123, and decided to give it a try. Much has transpired since then. Richard is a business man and has been involved with fortune 500 companies at a very high level. He has valuable skills that generate millions of additional dollars to those companies that hire him. He also has a few very close friends and trusted business associates he stays in constant touch with. They are very talented individuals with specialties that compliment and overlap. Richard is at the point where he would rather do something on his own rather than work for a large corporation. That’s easy to say, but it takes a great idea, capital and a team to make it happen. Back to the Manifesting book, he told me he is a black and white, analytical kind of guy. The idea of using your thoughts to create outcomes is just out of the box. However, when Richard used the ideas in the book, he got results. Not just one, but a few and they appeared to indicate a cause and result. He was using the ideas in the book everyday. Richard would imagine these perfect scenarios in his future and express gratefulness in each one. Day after day he imagined and polished these ideas and yes, the results were starting to show. In the winter last year he was vacationing with his family at a rented resort home in the mountains, happy and relaxed. His wife and daughter had left the house and he was along doing his manifesting Movie. In his Movie he was imagining being in his future with all that he desired. He had to laugh. He imagined a second home in the mountains… he was in one! He didn’t need to OWN a second home, he could just rent this one. He stopped the process and followed an urge to go into his daughter’s room. He picked up her sweatshirt that had a lot of writing on the front. The last line said, “Rinse, Wash and Repeat.” OK, so what was he doing pickup up things in her room? He never does that. With a shrug he went back to the living room and began reading Manifesting 123 again. Suddenly it was there in the book, “Rinse, Wash and Repeat.” He felt a reaction form deep inside himself. He couldn’t miss it and when it travelled up his body, he began to cry. When he came over and retold this other night, it happened again and it was unmistakable. Richard had a confirmation. Most of us have felt that moment that touches us at our core but it is rare and usually meaningful. What was going on? He had been observing the unfolding of very important events in the last few weeks. Seeing the phrase again in the book was perhaps a positive signal of some kind, an encouragement. He continued his manifesting routine each day and observed how one of his biggest aspirations was beginning to form up, the opportunity for his own business. In all there were four business plans that emerged. All were different but well-formed, solid ideas that had national reach. Each came in from one of those trusted associates. He was watching potential dreams emerge. These are complex deals, yet all the talent and funding is in place for each one. It took hours to talk through them all, how they came in and the amazing coincidences that birthed them. There won’t be any business secrets revealed here, only that he had never seen such a fertile time. Did he do this? It is quite possible and Richard is not letting up now. He is carefully exploring each possibility and continuing to take a little time to manifest each day. Manifesting can be very black and white, very cause and effect. At the least, perhaps Richard has discovered a simple tool he can use to his advantage. And here is a Very Interesting part: Ss so many others have discovered, he woke up one day with a new calm around him. Things pull on him less and he feels more confident and happy. It’s a common side-effect of manifesting each day and a very nice one! So two guys sit down to talk about business… It was very inside business, getting that edge. What a great night that was. Not the usual guy-talk, eh? It was exciting to hear about those business possibilities and how Richard is ‘directing’ his manifesting Movie. At times I would remember some of the stories from readers where difficulties were cleared away and opportunities smoothly presented. In all these stories, a good outcome was being manifested and the size or impossibility didn’t matter, what seemed to be a miracle materialized. So what’s the difference between a big miracle and a little one? Nothing. Going a bit further, YOU are the difference. So point yourself to where you want to go. Go far!

We Need to Make the Plan Work Now

  I want to share an experience that happened on December 30th of last year. My friend and I went to Joshua Tree National Park in California to spend New Year’s Eve. We had decided to camp out and bring in the New Year at the park. It was a great plan, enjoying the outdoors rather then the usual celebrations in the city.  It was a three-hour drive to get there, so we got on the road early that morning. We got  to the park just after 1:00 pm and saw a very long line of cars at the ranger ticket booth. My friend said, “This doesn’t look good.” He was right. Once we entered the park, we started driving around the different campgrounds looking for a spot. Every campground was full.We were in a fix and three hours from home. This is a great idea, but we needed that campsite. Ideas? Hmm… I had one. I had read Manifesting 123 and followed the great stories in the newsletters. Why not give it a try right now? I asked my friend, “What would be your perfect campsite?” He said it would be less crowded and described other details he would like. Shortly after, we learned about a site that was more out of the way, so we drove to it. On the way, I used the Manifesting 123 technique, mentally imagining our future campsite. In my Movie, I imagined we found our perfect campsite just as he described. We loved it and we were very grateful to have it. As we drove around a rock foundation, there was an available campsite, just as I had pictured it. This site was the only free one in the entire park! I let my friend know that this is what I had been wishing for. We thoroughly enjoyed our place in the park and brought in the New Year in a way that was perfect for us. Oh yes, we were very grateful! Tina What a great way to start the New Year. I’m very impressd that Tina went right to work on the problem using the Manifesting techniques in the book. Sure, they could have found a hotel outside the park, but the plan was to camp in the park. She didn’t say this is hopeless and abandon the idea. Tina wasn’t out of options yet. She is very familiar with manifesting and uses it daily. OK, time was a bit short here, but she got the picture of what was required and in a very short time, the campsite appeared, the Last One in the park. In the book, Judy Goodman showed me how our thoughts create things. After I pulled off a pretty good bit of manifesting she said, “Now do you see what you can do?”Nicely done, Tina. Who’s next?By the way. I woke up wide awake in the wee hours this morning. I was just laying there thinking and then realized I put together a newsletter for today! I jumped up to make it happen. How wonderful, Tina had sent me her story, perfect! The newsletter came together in record time and I’ll get back to sleep before the sun comes up. Perfect is good. Thank you Tina!

How Could This Happen? The Improbable Business Plan

Here is Manifesting at its best.  Since I am an artist and a writer, I have a lot of creative friends. We love what we do and the trick is to be the happy artist and pay the bills. We talk often about things artistic and our careers. Read that as talking about improving as an artist and paying the bills.Strategies abound and fortunately, artists have a lot of options for success. First, do good work. The artist decides what is to be created, the medium and size. Then there are options on how to be seen and much more. It’s a lot to consider. In this story, an artist used Manifesting 123 to boost sales and simplify his career management. He doesn’t want to be identified here, so we’ll call him Charles. Each day the artist did the Manifesting 123 steps and his 7 grateful things. Charles has a number of future scenes in his Manifesting “Movie.” His most important scene is that he has perfect health. In his future, he simply observes that he is very healthy and has been for some time. He is also very mindful to say that he is very grateful after each of his future scenes. Second on his priority is that he does his souls’ purpose, whatever that may be. So in his future scene he is relaxing comfortably somewhere and observes that he has been doing his souls’ work for sometime. He feels fulfilled and grateful. All the other scenes in his movie can be put into the category of living comfortably and happily. Some of those scenes involve Charles’ successful career as an artist and he visualizes that in a way that doesn’t create limits. In his future, Charles is happy as an artist, healthy, living comfortably, and abundantly, so of course those bills are paid. He was careful not to specify how this would come about in the future, only that it all did. Here’s where it gets interesting. Charles typically does about three to four medium to large works a month with a sprinkling of smaller works throughout the year. At the end of the year, he will have produced 40 – 70 works. In 2012 and going forward, he committed to doing five much larger works each year in the hopes of greater artistic and financial success. That’s a pretty good strategy for improvement in both areas. 2013 was an interesting year for Charles. He seemed to be constantly drawn into doing what appeared to be his soul’s work, a very high priority, but it was taking considerable time from his art career. He had observed that his being in service apparently was a protected time. If he lost studio time, somehow he could make it up by being more efficient or other means. If Charles was in the studio and interrupted by someone needing help, that call to service, then he would drop everything and make himself available. He was fighting to get to the studio throughout the year, but the calls for him to be of service were taking all of his time. He kept his souls’ work as a priority at the expense of his art career and there was a LOT of service in 2012 for Charles. At the end of the year, Charles discovered he had done nine new works and sold only three of that group. That was an exceptionally dismal year for art production…the worst ever. Even as a beginner, he did far more art works than that. So how did he pay the bills? His Manifesting came through. Charles had a good amount of inventory in galleries around the country from years before and in 2013 it was steadily selling. At the end of the summer the earlier works began to sell even more. Charles was very concerned about his lack of new works to show, but when he tallied up his sales last December, he was very surprised. Total sales showed that was his best year as an artist! It just doesn’t seem possible to have precious little coming out of the ‘factory door’ for an entire year and expect success, but that is exactly what happened! Charles is scratching his head and he is VERY grateful! He said this “really works” and he has made even better plans for his future. Are you kidding me?  This is not the typical business plan by a long shot, but Charles allowed the higher priority of doing his souls’ work and the bills were paid… regardless.He told me it was tricky for him. He was feeling the pressure of paying his expenses and the frustration of being pulled away from the studio, the source of his income. In the real world you work and get paid. He was outside his comfort zone but somehow each month, sales would come in. There were even additional funds that came in by suprise from outside sources. After seeing this repeating month after month, he saw a trend emerging in his favor and just said yes to those needing his time elsewhere. He felt a bit more comfortable with what was being manifesting around him but never completely. It was all to unbelievable to fully accept. He did have a great way to handle the worry of it all. There is a great tool in the book as the #2 of 123. Grab a copy or you can hear me discuss briefly it in my radio interviews. How is 2013 going for Charles? Service is still a priority and he has tweaked the art career part of his Movie. He is back in the studio and off to a fantastic start in just two weeks, but that is a story for another time.I wish you every success. Go for it! Ken   Do you have a story of your own to share?

Take Your Good Song and Make it Better

It is great fun hearing your marvelous stories and talking about Manifesting 123 to people everywhere. They tell me it is the simplest manifesting book they have ever read. Anyone can do this (they do) and have been happily successful (lots of that.) It is just too easy and for some, that creates a problem. We are raised to think that much has to be put in place to make good things happen. We must be Worthy. We must be very adept at creating and work very hard. We are not good about asking, meditating or praying for things, so we won’t have a good result. These are all common blocks and they do as described – they get in the way of manifesting your desires. Manifesting is far to simple to let this happen. So here’s some help.Every day, do the Manifesting 123 process. It doesn’t take a lot of time and guess what? It works if you believe it or not. Your thoughts begin to create immediately. So #1, go to your future and imagine that you are already are enjoying the life you choose. It has already happened in your future. Forget any complications or some series of events that have to play out first. You are in your own personal Movie in the future, looking around and enjoying the ride. Your thoughts are creating what you see, hear, smell, etc. So in your Movie, use a lot of your senses to make your thoughts even stronger. It’s all in the book in great detail or listen to my radio interviews here.Here’s a great tip from Anna Marie. She was having difficulty staying on track with all the scenes in her Movie. I have over a dozen myself and I have the same experience. My mind wanders, I forget some of the scenes, I fall asleep – you name it and we all do it. Don’t worry because your thoughts will gradually build all that is in your movie. Some days you will experience your future better than others, it’s OK and perfectly natural. This is a day after day process and not dependent on how you did last Thursday.Anna Marie wanted to get the maximum from her movie efficiently so she came up with this nice piece of orginization. She records all of the scenes in her Movie to her smart phone or small recorder. Great! So now she plays back the audio script of her movie and never misses a scene. It’s not necessary to manifesting, you can just as easily work from your memory or a list but it’s a great prompt.  Also, a recording allows you to keep your eyes closed as you continue through your future scenes.Let’s go for more. Your thoughts and intentions build your target idea day by day. As you add more layers of intention, the closer you get to making your idea manifest. You want to cover all the bases every day for the best result. OK so far. So make a recording with all of the scenes in your movie. You have a couple of choices: an audio with the full detail of each scene or a recorded list of the scenes in your Movie..Since you want the strongest intention by whatever means, use your voice, talk to your recording. Why? Your voice is another layer of intention and very powerful. If you choose to record your movie in full detail, then jump in and cheerlead what is happening.Yell back at the recording: “I LOVE my career” “I’ve never been so happy. Yesss!” “This is the best trip ever and I didn’t have to worry about the money. I so beautiful here!”Remember that after each scene you’re So Grateful.You get the idea. What you’re doing is loading up each scene with your grateful emotions. When you are in the scene cheering and screaming along, the entire process is amplified in a very good way. At the end of each scene, mention again how grateful you are. You are! Another way to use this audio is to simply make a list of each scene. It’s like audio bullet points. You hear the scene description but you add the details. Just listen to the name of the scene come up and then pause the audio. Now you can go through each scene in your mind and never miss a single one. Don’t forget, you also have the option to verbalize all you want. When your recording prompts the vacation scene. Hit pause, begin visualizing yourself on that vacation and shout out something like “I just love my future here.” “Wow, I’m in Paris!!!”  Do it again when you hear the name of the next Really Good Future you are going to create.This is very important. Avoid the trap of letting the recording do the work. Just listening to your recording is not enough. Only you can experience and emotionally load each scene. Take the time to be in your future – touch it, feel the air and drink the expresso at the sidewalk cafe. Don’t let this audio method become rote and boring. We have all listlessly endured some repetitive service or business meeting. Don’t let your recording become that. It is a great tool and a way prompt all of your lovely futures. It works for Anna Marie, so, what are you waiting for? Your future is waiting for you to create it. Most of us do the Manifesting 123 without an audio prompt, so you don’t have to go out of your way.  Just sayin.’ On the Horizon:Coming up soon are some very good Manifesting 123 stories: a critical lost and found object, romances and a most unusual business strategy.I’m excited to announce that very soon, the Manifesting 123 audio book will be released. I’ve done the recordings and the audio book is now in the final edits. I’ll let you know when it’s ready to go!For the many of you that are new here, thank you. Please take a look at the Manifesting 123 story archive. The stories you generously sent in are amazing. Help yourself to a big dose of encouragement.Make a delightful wave – pass this onto your friends, support each

Kate’s Runaway Artistic Success

From Ken: My good friend Casey Klahn and I gave a dual art workshop last summer. As I often do when I’m teaching painting, I’ll follow the art workshop session for those interested with a Manifesting 123 lecture. I am always amazed at how many people come up later and tell me that not only was Manifesting 123 a very big bonus to the art class, but it was just the information they had been searching for. Here’s Kate’s story and a hefty plug for all the other artists mentioned here. It’s all about the arts today. Have some fun and check out their links below.Dear Ken, I was first introduced to Manifesting 123 at the painting workshop that I took with you and Casey Klahn in the summer of 2012 at the Madden Museum in Denver.Although the “power of positive thought” was not a new one to me, there was something about the way you described how thoughts become reality that intrigued me. So as soon as it was available for my Kindle, I bought a copy.But first, the whole reason I was able to attend your workshop was through a bit of “fore-shadowing” of manifestation. I wanted to attend when the workshop was first mentioned months before, but money was tight. I kept thinking to myself how much I wanted to go and how much it would mean to me. Well, about 2 weeks before the workshop I still didn’t have the funds, but I kept thinking somehow, I’m going to go. Then two things happened at the same time. I got an email from Casey asking me to confirm my registration and I got an unexpected bonus at work for the exact amount on the same day (well, plus $20 for gas!). Pretty exciting stuff! After reading Manifesting 123 cover to cover, I decided to give it a go. I tried my best, but I could not make “the movie” work for me. I struggled to focus. In a way, I felt overwhelmed. You see, what I want is to be is a full-time artist. My thinking was that it will require a bunch of puzzle pieces to fall in to place. Then I’d start thinking about the obstacles… well, you can guess that didn’t get me far. Then I had a flash of the blinding obvious and decided to concentrate on the most important element. I imagined art collectors who connect with my work and have the disposable income to purchase my paintings. Within a week my gallery called with news of a sold painting. Imagine my joy and gratitude! Then a sale came from another source – an art lover bought 6 of my gallery-wrapped prints from Fine Art America. I was even more thrilled and very thankful! More successes arrived a few days later. I sold five paintings off my website after sending out a newsletter announcing my “virtual” studio sale. It was an amazing time. Another few days and my gallery called. “Are you sitting down?” the gallery director asked. “No,” I was walking down the stairs with a load of laundry. “Well sit down,” he said. “You won’t believe this, but a couple from London stopped in the gallery today and purchased six of your paintings for their home in Texas!” Well, I did believe it, because I had played that scene in my head for two weeks, and you can bet I am filled with gratitude! Now I am adding to my movie and am manifesting a new gallery – possibly in Denver, that will open the door to more sales. I’ll let you know what happens! Gratefully, Kate Dardine
 Here is some delightful homework: Visit Kate’s VERY successful website Ditto for Casey Klahn’s art blog Cheryl St. John from the reviews column Miss Jill McDonald “I Think I Can” image on Etsy Ken’s art website That is a LOT of success in a very short time!  Kate was smart and determined. OK, so she had trouble visualizing the movie of her success, but she stayed with it and made a simple adjustment. She found a way around her blocks. It’s child’s play – make believe. She just put together a vision of success without a lot of complicated, moving parts to trip on. Brilliant and Easy. Once the path was clear for her visualization, the manifestations followed. Your thoughts truly create what you focus on. When you revisit your happy scenario each day, your thoughts are literally building your ideal. It’s as simple as rinse and repeat. What you envision is the First Thought. The Law of Attraction is what happens next, the side-effect. Many other important actions are taking place as well. Pieces are being moved “on the board” in many directions, routes and shortcuts are forming up and matches are being made. You can’t imagine all the moves to make in advance but you don’t have to. Keep your scenarios simple and keep to your scenarios. That’s all there is, but. Oh yes, deal with the worries. That is the 2 of the 123. Get the book or listen to my interviews online here. I make a point to discuss how to deal with those pesky worries. Listen in and you will quickly have a very simple and positive way to deal with those concerns that get in your way. There are amazing stories in the book and a bonus too. It’s about gratitude.If you truly desire change, then you are fully endowed to make it happen beginning right now. I am so appreciative of Kate and so many others that have shared there wonderful stories here. They are all for your encouragement and delight. Your story is coming to this newsletter soon!

The List: Your Amazing 2013 and More for 2014!

What a year! I’ve been looking over the stories sent in by readers of Manifesting 123 and I am profoundly moved. No one wrote in to say how difficult it was to do the recommendations in the book. In fact, the majority said is was very simple, the easiest they had ever encountered. Now you KNOW that your thoughts begin to form up as soon as you think of them. You don’t have to be talented or do it exactly as the book recommends. You just start and stay with it. We are not in the hoping and waiting business anymore. Manifest your desires, point yourself where you want to go and just begin. The more you continue your good intentions, the sooner they will flow into your life. Make a resolution to use the Manifesting 123 techniques not for just this year, but every day forward. After what so many of us have experienced, we are absolutely using this knowledge to our best advantage. Here are just a few of the stories from this year as examples. A number of individuals and business people were very happy with not only increased business, but in some cases, windfalls. Yes, money was involved but also the equivalent of money: difficult loans were obtained, better rent and mortgage amounts were obtained. Those reduced rates are like cash discounts. Financial problems can be solved in improbable ways, so don’t limit the outcome by specifying dollar amounts. OK, so back to the windfalls cause we love ’em. Remember the woman that received $10,000? The very next week, another reader saw that story and requested the same to refinance her home. Within 4 hours she manifested the same amount! Truly amazing. In another story, a new computer materialized just in time for someone self-employed. A reader finally was awarded a generous settlement – she had all but given up on seeing it come to fruition. I really liked the quick manifesting response from two different travelers at the airport. They were flying back from a Kansas City conference where I presented. They had big problems with their return flights. One could not find her driver’s license and the other had misplaced her passport. Each did the Manifesting 123 they had just learned and amazingly, their documents were found and brought to them before their separate departures. That is very timely work! Another reader had decided to move to Colorado but lacked the funds to make it happen. She manifested the funds in a way she never expected. While driving through Las Vegas on a business stop-over, she won $5000. in minutes. She rarely gambles, so it was quite the surprise, but just what she needed to finance her move right away and start a new career. A very successful one from scratch, by the way. Someone improved their existing career by simply getting better work hours and a very hard to get raise on top. How about getting out of a military service contract early and on perfect terms? It happened! In another case, a person was laid off her job, but it came with all the compensation breaks she needed. Now she is free of the job she didn’t enjoy and already getting work in an area she is delighted with. There have been three dream homes manifested, three perfect cars, new romantic parters, and one lovely wedding! Oh yes, and there were two divorces that were seemingly Heaven sent. (Nothing being advocated here.) So what’s harder to find – a new home or a good man? Don’t answer that question! That’s a good laugh, but there is no difference. Miracles large and small are just the same, thank goodness. Something that many of us have found very beneficial has been manifesting greater efficiency in all our endeavors, including personal time. It is easy to get overwhelmed but don’t forget, if there is something in your face, you can manifest an elegant solution. Think of manifesting as your Swiss Army knife. You have a tool to use on anything. Simply imagine that this problem doesn’t exist in your future and that your are very grateful. Need help with the farm in Canada? Manifest the ideal solutions for big crops and greenhouse equipment at  give-away prices. Employers have quickly solved paperwork, efficiency and staffing problems, increased revenues and hopefully got themselves more personal time as well. ( I’m hammering away on that one this year.) There are many more events unfolding with you all and more yet undreamed of. I looking forward to more of your great stories to share. Go for the perfect solutions, careers, and partners. Don’t be too specific unless that is what  you want. Otherwise, perfect is good. Manifesting takes many forms. Asking works. Of course it does, so ask without hesitation. Sure, do the 123 in the book. It’s the go-to manifesting manual with the new material – the Real Secret. But now you know how powerful your intentions and thoughts truly are. Without any special skills, you can do this as well as anyone else, so pass the word. Take note of the incredible miracles in people’s lives. Sometimes you will hear individuals simply asked in some form. I really enjoy including those stories in this newsletter as well. It isn’t always the result of what was read in a helpful book somewhere, prayers and simple intentions really work too! All of these stories from the last few months are to encourage you to try, to ask for yourself. Just for you. Yes, ask away and do for others, but take care for yourself as well. As you obtain abundance, share. Where do you want to go? What do you desire? Point yourself to happiness this year. Join the surprised and delighted readers that shared their good stories. I was just for you. Oh and the bonus: remember to think of seven grateful things every day. Happiness results. Happy New Year and make it the one you choose! Ken Do you have a story
