THe book The Secret is all about how what you put out there into the ether, is exactly what you get back.
Its a very good read - until it gets to the part about how you can make more money - but the first half od the book does make you see how life can unfold based on your attitude, mind, thoughts, hopes, etc.
Might be worth a quick read - it helped me change the way I think. And when I changed ,my thoughts, my life began to change too.
When I was down and life felt hopeless - life was hopeless.
As MiniMe posted above - If you think you can - you can. If you think you can't - you probably won't.
That has been proven time and time again to me in the last couple of years - starting when I decided that there was one youthful dream I never even bothered to pursue - because I always ALWAYS said, "Oh, I couldn;t do that."
So - decades later - I decided to learn to ride a motorbike and get the Harley I always dreamt of.
Last year, full of absolute fear - I did it. On the days I was so nervous and said, Oh I can;t do this! Those were the days I came off the bike. On the days I said, I can do this the same as anybody else can - I had a successful day. And I got my license. After 4 weeks training - I climbed on MY harley which I bought myself - not my hubby's, but mine - (point: dream realised!) and I was off and away. Having never ever driven a motorbike - in short time, I was on my own bike. It was a miracle and a joy. Here's me an "Ruby GOes Bang"....
Proof dreams do come true
THis can be much the same if you want it - focus on having it.
Self fulfilled prophecys happen every day - we seldom stop to think we may be responsible. But we are. Or certainly can be.
