What Was Manifested and a Joke by an Ex-President
What a year it has been! I’ve taken the time to look back at what has been manifested out of thin air, and I am very grateful.So much has happened but I’ll use the the Manifesting 123 book as an example. For two years I talked about writing this book. Every day I had been talking about Manifesting to someone, sometimes many times a day. People would then say, “You need to write a book about this.” “Of course I will. I’m working on it now,” I would say. But actually I was goona, shouda, kinda working on it in my head but nothing was put to paper.
At the time, I was doing the techniques in the book but there wasn’t enough time in the day to sit down and write a book. Heck, I had never written a book before, so I had ample reasons not to even start. Then I had an idea. Part of the Manifesting technique is to imagine you are in your future and that all is well, so to speak.
Hmmmm… so I imagined that in my future, my time is perfectly synchronized between what I’m here to do, my careers, relationships and I added own personal time. It didn’t take long. Within a few weeks I realized that I was getting to bed earlier an playing solitaire on my iPad. I LOVE that solitaire and it had been a year since I had that kind of play time. Then it hit me. I had a been enjoying a LOT more personal time recently. Heck, I could use this extra time to write the Manifesting book.
The book wrote itself. I dictated it into the computer and immediatelly a close friend recommended everything I needed from an editor to printer. Suddenly the book was complete and physically in my hands within 4-5 weeks!
Manifesting is now an everyday event for me and many others who have read the book. We commonly create good things for ourselves, live happier and with much less worry than ever before. Take a look at the stories that have resulted on the Manifesting 123 stories page, pass them on and make your own.
You may want to take a little time to hear the one-hour radio interview I did today with Kathy Bacon today. It explains how simply the Manifesting 123 techniques are. No special skills are required so anyone can be good at this – and they are!
A Holiday Story
Years ago, I watched Jimmy Carter tell this joke on the Jay Leno show. Thank you President Carter!So a man dies and goes to Heaven. St. Peter is standing in front of the Pearly Gates with a question for the man. “What have you done for your fellow man?””This is hard” the man replies. “Give me a sec. OK, I remember. A couple of years ago, I went to my closet and put on my favorite shirt, but it didn’t fit, so I gave it to Goodwill.”
“Really,” St. Peter said, Did you get a receipt?”
“I did.” the man said proudly.
“So what did they say the shirt was worth?”
“50 cents.”
St. Peter raised his eyebrows then paused and asked, “So is there anything else?”
“This is really difficult.” the man replied. “I need time. Hang on, um… yes! I remember, it was last Christmas eve and I was walking down the street at night. There was a man begging for money. I went right past him and thought, it’s Christmas, so I came all the way back, it must have been a block and I gave him money.
“So what did you give him?” St. Peter asked.
“50 cents!” said the man.
St. Peter turned to the angel next to him and said, “Give him his dollar back and tell him to go to Hell!”
OK, most of us could use a bit more compassion for others in need, but I also want to gently remind you to be more generous to yourself as well.
