Accomplish Goals by Using Power of Attraction

I once had the opportunity to judge the long-jump event for track and field day at an elementary school. There was a very athletic fifth grade girl named Jackie, who was expected to break the school record.

After her first attempt, Jackie landed about four inches shy of the record. She asked me to show her where the school record was located and to mark it. Jackie starred at the marked record for a few seconds then prepared for her next jump. She eventually smashed the school record by nearly seven inches.

It took me a few years to understand how Jackie accomplished that feat. We all have mental goals for different parts of our lives. But, unless we can truly see them and feel them, our goals typically won't be accomplished.

What are your goals in life? Be that of ideal-weight, running a marathon, dream job, life partners, or maybe an expensive house or car. Everyone has a different list.

Write down your goals, find pictures of them, and place them on your bathroom mirror, refrigerator, dashboard of your car, and on your office desk.

You need these as constant reminders of what you want to accomplish. Do not look at them as a want or wish list, but produce the feeling as if you have already accomplished them. Walk through your daily lives as if you own those possessions, have that dream job, or ideal body weight.

When you can feel the presence of each goal, you will attract them into your lives. Don't worry about how and when it will happen, just know it manifests through your intense power.

There's a young lady named Cortney, who wanted to lose weight. I had her cut out pictures of herself when she was much thinner and place them around her house as a constant visual reminder of what she really looks like. Over the past several months, Cortney has lost over 20 pounds.

Use your "power of attraction" and place your goals all around you. I bet you'll fly through the air and smash records like a fifth grade girl named Jackie.

All Athletes' Seasons End, But There is So Much More

Back in 2008, I coached my son's 9 year old Little League baseball team. There was one particular kid, whom I will call Mike, born with several birth defects.

Mike's parents were very distraught and depressed because, due to Mike's disabilities, this was to be his last season to play competitive baseball.

You see, Mike was not an ordinary boy. He had a passion and knowledge of the game like no other 9 year old I'd ever encountered. You could ask Mike about any professional baseball player, and he could tell their history and statistics. To say it was impressive is an understatement.

At the end of the season, I met with Mike's parents to give them my thoughts. I told them Mike has a gift. All players' seasons will eventually end, but Mike's love for the game of baseball will be forever.

I have a vision of Mike being a sports radio commentator, a television sports newscaster, working as a scout for a professional baseball team or maybe writing a sports column.

Mike's parents stared at me with this blank look on their face, then the tears started flowing. They let me know, what I had just said, never occurred to them. They couldn't stop thanking me enough, and it was the best group hug I'd ever received.

What about you? What do you have a passion and desire for — be it personal, business, fitness or spiritual? If you truly want something, and give full effort, then there is a niche and a place for you.

Mike and his family moved away, but I'm able to keep up with them through Facebook. Just so you know, Mike is in now in high school and is doing well.

Are You Ready?

Sometimes in life, there are unexpected situations that occur where we need to be ready. There are many examples of this, so I'll name a few.

How about in sports? How many times have we seen a starting player get hurt or pulled from a game and the second string player needs to step in?

If you are a Houston Texans football fan, over the past few years, we've seen this happen many times with quarterbacks. From 2002 to the 2016 season, Houston Texans used 14 different quarterbacks. This is more than any other team in the league. Plus, I think most people are...
