IF WE ARE RELATED....WE SHALL MEET

My favorite book is "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. I consider this a must read. Napoleon Hill ends the book by saying that if we are related (in thought, destiny, desire, etc.) we shall meet in this life, on this earth. How true. People are like magnetic fragments floating down a stream. Sooner or later, the like pieces find each other and cling to each other. You end up having clusters of magnets, some that attract each other, some that repel each other. Which brings me to my point....
Why do I keep bumping into some people time and time and time again? There are people from high school that have I have bumped into accidentally throughout the past 20 years. There is no one from college that I have accidentally bumped into, although much more people from SUNY Albany live in the New York metro area. I often try to discover what we have in common, why the magnetic pull of gravity has us heading on a collision course. Sometimes its easy to figure out.....I start thinking about someone from my past, and out of the blue I'm having coffee or drinks with that person. Sometimes its not so easy......I kept bumping into a high school classmate several times after high school, until it lead to a get together that gave me the idea to start my Men's skincare business.
Then there is the opposite...why can't I get rid of some people? Its because there is still something pulling us together....some common desire or thought or unresolved issue. Perhaps I keep bumping into this person because I do not know the answer yet, and when I do, I won't have to keep hearing from this person.
Complex yet true. So why not bump into the people you want to? Why not think about the person or people that you would like to actually meet. I started thinking about Bill and Hillary Clinton, and 4 months later met them. I watch 30 Rock and NBC, started thinking how funny Tina Fey is and how I would like to meet her....and voila! My son gets a call to be an extra on 30 Rock and I'm with him staring at Tina Fey (who is actually very serious.) My wife watches friends every night, she is still obsessed with the Ross and Rachel relationship, and voila....today she is with my son meeting David Schwimmer (he's doing a scene with him.) This continues to happen. I sit and think about meeting people that can help and guide me to the next step .....and it always happens.......I find myself having lunch with the CEO of a large cosmetics company. Did I have to travel far? We met by an introduction from my landlord (at the office) who knew him from golf......and we meet across the street from my office.
Perhaps we can't rid ourselves of the people in our lives because all we do is think about them, whether negative or positive. We can't mentally let go of them, so they can't physically leave. Like ghosts......like memories.
I also noticed today that people that keep birds as pets in a cage....rarely leave their house.

Whats on your mind?

Have you ever stopped to keep track of what you spend your day thinking about? The mind works in a mysterious way. Whatever you think about when you are not thinking about anything, is usually what you have the most of in your life. Example - let say you spend your entire day thinking about your career or work....chances are work is the most important thing in your life. What if you spend your entire day thinking about your partner or children? Then this is probably the biggest part of your life. What if you spend most of the day thinking about your debts, failures, or things not going your way? Aside from making yourself miserable, your likely to just bury yourself more in debt or failures.
I started to do the reverse, I started to daydream about a better life. I started to picture myself in a yellow lamborghini, I started to picture myself in a beautiful house, I started to dream about a bank account with millions of dollars in it. Every time my emotions changed to negative or neutral, I made a shift. I immediately started to think about a more prosperous life. Somedays it was easy to do this, some days it was really hard. Sometimes loud music helped, sometimes jogging outdoors helped. But slowly, over a period of several months, I'm able to spend most of my days daydreaming about a fantasy life.
The ramifications are mind boggling....I started to see more lamborghinis (some yellow.) I went my whole life without seeing one, and now I see one a week. Then I started seeing opportunities that I never saw before, leading to making hundreds of thousands within several months. And it gets easier and easier every week. The more I daydream, the more I live my daydreams. It happens to everyone. And its not magic. Its logic. Change the way you think to change the direction of your life. If you don't believe me, try this ........ Spend 1 hour a day daydreaming about being thin. Without a doubt, you will start to make healthy eating choices and you may even start excercising. Same thing about money, love, sex, etc. You are always in control of seeing that which has always been right in front of you.
