The Power of Positive Creation

Last night, I was sitting next to a friend at a large soccer and volleyball competition. We were "taking a breather" as they say in the sports world. He was telling me all about his crappy life in vivid detail. He was definitely in the suck hole going on and on about his ex-wife, his fledgling business, his debt, etc. After listening awhile I asked him to tell me 20 things in his life that he appreciated. He ignored me at first, but then when prompted again he began his list. I counted on my fingers as he went. As it turns out he is in an awesome relationship, he is moving back to the place he loves, he is able to support himself and he owns 3 houses! When he finished his list I asked him: "Do you think you are more likely to create the life that you want from this place of contentment or from the place of anger and despair you were in 5 minutes ago?" He said, "I know, you make a good point." At this moment all the competitors were called to the basketball court. The leader of the event told us that there was an extra $100 left over from our payments for pizza and soda and that we were going to have a basketball shootout from half court. Whoever made the basket would win $100. If you missed you were part of the cleanup crew. I went second and missed so I grabbed a broom and started to sweep the court. I came closer and closer to my friend as he stood in line. There were only 3 men left when got the ball. I swept right by him saying "stay positive and you can get whatever you want". He shot the ball and it lept right in to the basket. From that place of contentment my friend was able to make $100 seemingly out of nowhere. That is the power of positive creation.
