Shelly is the Manifesting Star of the 8th Grade

Here’s a great story to begin the new year…



My daughter Shelley makes things happen. When she was in the seventh grade she decided she wanted to tryout for the soccer team. She played a bit when she was five years old but that was then. There’re a lot of good Soccer players in the seventh grade and they’ve had years of experience. But there’s more – Shelly wanted to be the goalie! She really didn’t know anything about that position but she does know how to make things happen.

I began to notice the interesting photographs she put on her iPad. It was a series of images where she is the goalie and she is being congratulated by her team members. She was often looking at those photos and talking about how much she likes being a goalie on the team. Shelly didn’t fear failure, it was just the opposite. She was having conversations with herself as if she was already on the team. The pictures on her iPad showed more the same as if it had already happened.

As a mom, I begin to worry about her high expectations. There’s a lot of competition to get on that team and particularly for the goalie position. She put in her time studying and practicing and when the day came for the team tryouts, she made the team and the goalie position was hers. I was thrilled for her and all that she did to pull it off. It was amazing.

Ken and I have talked about manifesting for years, even before the Manifesting 123 book was published. It’s been a topic in the house a few times but I never thought Shelly would be listening to those conversations. Apparently she did and Shelly has become quite the manifesting expert. Here’s another example.

When Shelly was in the sixth grade she wanted to attend the Denver School of the Arts. As it was for the soccer team, you have to audition to get in. There are interviews and applications to do and you have to perform at a very high level. This school is one of the best in the country and there is a crush to get in. She gave it her very best but she wasn’t accepted.

Her year in the seventh grade was a successful one and she was much happier then her previous years in school. She Is a great student, super smart, making nearly straight A’s. It was tough for us during those times. Because of my work, we had to get up at 5 AM Monday through Friday. Shelly set her own alarm, got herself ready and was responsible for getting to and from school on her own. She was an angel that way.

She is also ambitious and a good planner, so it wasn’t long before I heard that she was targeting the Art School again for the eighth grade. Shelly has an artful and performance side but she is naturally shy. Fortunately, she met a teacher that brought her out of her shell and encouraged her to do some summer plays.

Shelly kept getting parts and gaining experience. She was also back on that iPad with images showing her already in the School of Arts. There’s also another thing she does. She has a day timer with to-do lists. She loves to put things on that list and she likes to check them off..

She had a couple of things on that list: that she auditions successfully for the Art School and that she is accepted. Her iPad followed along with future images of celebrations and photos of her in the school as a student of the arts.

Once you make an application, the Art School gives you an audition number. For Shelly that’s just another tool for manifesting. She used that number as a code on her cell phone. She was literally in touch with that important number many times a day. She had really pulled out all the stops to get into the school and once again, I was very concerned about her high expectations.

The day of the audition arrived and afterwards, Shelly told told me she presented herself well. The audition being done, she checked it off her list. Now we had to wait for the call back. It was a big day when the call came, she was accepted! Oh yes, don’t forget to check getting into the Denver School of the Arts off the list as well. Big checkmark for that one!

We have also learned the importance of gratitude. Of course we are grateful for all we have. We are also aware every day of the things we are purposely manifesting in our futures and we express gratitude in advance. We are constantly in the state of being grateful for the now and for what is next. It feels great.

 

Point yourself to happiness, please!

Shelly is a great example in so many ways. She’s running a clinic at her house (and mom is paying attention, me too). She was in the seventh grade, had not read any manifesting or self-help books, did the basic / simple Manifesting 123 techniques she heard about and became a great success at achieving her goals. Yes, she put the hours in with her soccer and acting studies, but so did the others she was competing with. Most of the other students had the greater advantage of more years of experience and private tutoring. Shelly knew the score – she had to do the work and she quickly learned that manifesting gave her an edge.

By the way, Mom didn’t want her daughter’s real name to be used, so another name immediately popped into my head, Shelly. Mom said that would be a great name for her daughter.  Shelly is the teacher that helped the daughter with her shyness and encouraged her to do Summer theatre. Thank you Ms. Shelly.

Special skills are not required. You know where I’m going, a 7th grader can be really good at this. For those that have manifested remarkable things in the last year, pat yourself on the back and make more.

If you’ve been considering trying Manifesting 123 out, fixing to, thinking about it, gonna, shoulda… this is the perfect time to begin.

SO…. what will you be creating in your 2015? I have been shown that if you think it, your thoughts immediately bring it into form. You are already expert at this. You have been doing it all your life.

Make yourself a splendid new year!
Ken
