Thoughts are things. Any thought, good or bad, repeated often enough and with enough emotion will eventually manifest itself as its real-world equivalent. If you think back to your past, you will find this to be true.

I like to think of myself as a mechanic working to convert my mind into an engine of success. Like a piston pumping back and forth in perfect rhythm, I want my mind to produce the results I want, when I want it, and with predictable consistency.
