Putting Your Mind to It Reaps Massive Benefits
That is the weapon that we each hold in our arsenal of life. The power to commit our minds to a task, a project, a desire, a lifestyle and the ability to have it materialize purely from giving it our full attention and believing it to have already come to fruition.
In fairy tales and children’s stories it seems as though authors are seriously in tune with the Laws of Attraction. How many stories ask children to just close their eyes, focus on what they want and believe – take Peter Pan for instance, the children believed they could fly—and they did. Somewhere between the tender age of preschool and adulthood, the seemingly childish power of focus and faith in simply believing in what is wanted to make it a reality is abandoned for more practical adult habits. But at what cost? Instead, adults toil laboriously towards assorted goals with mixed outcomes, when the lost art of focus is all that is required.
When Kaylie was a little girl all she wanted was to see Annie on Broadway. For most of her childhood people noticed how much she looked like the Little Orphan Annie and commented on it. It didn’t matter to her that she lived hundreds of miles away from Broadway, but that was her fondest wish. When she was nine years old her mother was sent on a business trip while Kaylie stayed home with her grandparents. The whole time her mother was gone she dreamt of the two of them sitting in a crowded theater enjoying the musical, listened to the Annie soundtrack over and over again, and even acted out bits of it in her tree house. When her grandmother cleaned her room she found two homemade tickets to Annie and the cover of a playbill under her pillow. Kaylie had a serious case of Annie on the brain! When her mom returned from her business trip she had a surprise for Kaylie. Her new account was based in New York City and when she told her client about Kaylie’s love of all things Annie related, her client promised to secure two tickets for a matinee performance the next time she was scheduled to visit the Big Apple! Kaylie was thrilled and could hardly contain her enthusiasm. The following month Kaylie, her mother and grandmother traveled to New York City and were delighted to find three tickets waiting for them when they checked into their hotel.
The year she was nine, Kaylie learned that the combination of visual and tangible cues, along with focused thoughts and a strong belief that she would achieve the outcome, could truly produce what she considered a miracle. It was a lesson that she never forgot and a skill that she continues to use in adulthood. Using Kaylie as an example, you have permission to revert back to successful childish anecdotes. Determine what you want and allow yourself to believe in the power of focused thoughts. Relax and concentrate on the desired outcome. Feel free to use pictures, visualization, or meditation to get yourself in the zone, and look for what manifests. You may be surprised at first, but will soon come to realize just how easy things become as long as you maintain your inner vision.

Find a quiet spot, close your eyes, and begin to breathe deep even breaths – in and out. Think back to the times when you were “in the zone”, when you achieved everything you put your mind to seemingly simply by giving it your full concentration, your full attention, your full focus. Didn’t it seem almost effortless? As if it just happened exactly as you desired it without serious work?
