John's reading this new book and was telling me about it last night. The book is about learning how to create positive changes in your life and manifest your desires. I haven't read it yet, but from what John is telling me, the idea is to basically ask "The Universe" for what you want, and you can achieve anything. From his description, it's basically positive thinking. A "dress for the career you want" type of an idea. If you want something, act like you already have it, feel appreciation for what you do have and you will find yourself attracting positive things leading you to your ultimate goal... whatever that may be.
To John, this was a completely new concept. To me (and granted, I haven't yet read the book), it's nothing new, in fact, this is a theory I try to practice in my own life already. I wholeheartedly believe in the power of positive thinking.
So as we were discussing the book, we started talking about what we wanted. What did we want to ask "The Universe" for?
John: I want to be successful in my career
Me: I want to be a great mother
John: I want to loose weight
Me: Me too!
John: I want to have season tickets to the Jazz
Me: I want to have just one steamy, passionate night with Derek Jeter, but not have it affect our marriage in any way.
John: I want to be rich
Me: I want a dog
John: Whoa! I don't think The Universe wants you to have a dog
Me: But I can have Jeter?
John: You've got a better chance of getting the Jeter thing than getting a dog.
Me: Oh, I'm totally asking The Universe for a dog.
