My son showed everyone a video of a card trick that he was fascinated by. He was continually amazed that the person watching the video always guessed the card that the magician picked.
I slowed it down for him.
The card that everyone picked was the last one they saw and the one he held for just half a second longer than the other cards he flipped through. It looked like magic. Everyone got the card they wanted.
In life, it works the same way.
You get what you hold in your thoughts for just a moment longer than anything else, and what you hold on to last.
This is not news. The Secret brought this to the forefront and it has become part of most people’s understanding.
Then why don’t I have everything that I focus on? Because you are not aware of the card that comes up last. It is the whisper after the thought. It the whisper of “No, you don’t” that you get after you affirm “I have all the money I need” or “No, you’re not” after “I am rich beyond my wildest dream.”
That whisper is the last thought we have. I was reading in The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind of how affirmations can be difficult for some people because it is hard for them to suspend their disbelief long enough to make the affirmation true.
Instead of stating an affirmation, make a declaration. The declaration does not discount reality, it enhances it by saying that we intend to do or be something. Declare “I am creating an abundant life.” There is no little voice that can contradict that.
Declare yourself and get the card you want, and more.
