Incredible Manifesting Part 3
A few days earlier I spoke about my friend and new manifestor who used her skills to win the grand prize at a conference we had both attended. You can read about the previous story here or the original story here if you haven’t yet read it. About a week had past week since I last spoke to my friend about manifesting and what she had to say may shock you!
Prior to manifesting the grand prize my friend had no prior experience weilding the awesome power Law of Attraction. After winning the contest with the secret I share with her she got home and wasn’t done manifesting. I guess once you are bitten with the manifestation bug you then try and concentrate more energy on bigger manifestations. The possibilities are endless when you know what you are doing, which is why I was so excited at what my newly manifesting friend had to say.
She told me that during the week when she returned to work they held a contest for a small prize at one of the staff meetings. Well, just to test out her new found manifestation powers she used the secret I shared with her and voila, she won 1st place again amongst all her colleagues and took home the prize. Are these instant manifestations or mere coincidence? Would you like to know the secret I shared with my friend? What would you manifest if you could have anything come your way?
The Power of the Right Coach
The Power of the Right Coach by Denis Waitley
Throughout history, most of the great achievements and incredible comebacks have been the result of an individual whose motivation to persevere was influenced by a coach or mentor. In science, art, politics, sports, and business, there is a common thread of having been coached among those who achieve greatness. A coach doesn’t need to be a professional consultant or counselor. He or she could be someone within your organization or industry, or it could be someone from your personal life whom you respect or admire.
A study was undertaken on the Hawaiian island of Kauai by two researchers named Emily Werner and Ruth Smith. This study, which followed more than 450 people from childhood through their adult lives, was an attempt to learn why some people are motivated to overcome severe disadvantages, while others from the same background seem to have been overwhelmed by their problems. This research continued for an incredible length of time: 40 years, to be exact.
According to the research, one of the most interesting qualities of these motivated individuals is their ability to recognize potential sources of support in other people, to look beyond the walls of their homes to find relatives, friends, teachers, or other role models who can provide help. This very important finding illustrates the benefits of forming mentor relationships to encourage achievement.
Choosing a coach or mentor is like having an additional correctional device to keep you on target. An analogy of this premise comes from aerospace technology. Years ago, the military used inertial guidance systems on missiles. Unfortunately, once the course of an inertially guided missile is set, it proceeds along that path with no capability for adjustments. It’s like a bullet fired from a rifle. Even when the aim is good at the outset, if the target moves unexpectedly once the projectile is in flight, the shot is going to miss. And if there’s one thing you can count on in life, it’s that the target is going to be moving! In the Gulf War of 1992, the Patriot missile that defended Israel and Saudi Arabia was introduced. Unlike previous defenses, this system had an advanced self-adjusting navigation system that continuously monitored the missile’s trajectory as well as the path of its swiftly moving target. The Patriot was able to make whatever corrections were necessary, regardless of changes in the position or speed of its objective.
A highly motivated person uses a coach or mentor in the same way when he or she has targeted a worthwhile goal. A coach or mentor can assist you in making adjustments and navigating through difficult times.
Finding coaches and mentors is an important mission, and you will no doubt have several over the course of your life. It is critical that you choose them wisely. Your mentor is someone to whom you’ll be committing a great deal of time and attention, and who ideally will take a very focused interest in you as well.
