"The Misunderstood Power that Determines What You Get in Life"

If there were one power which was like a magic wand, and wherever you pointed it, suddenly it shoots out a puff of smoke, and voila, instant riches... would you want to learn how to use that power? Silly question. Of course you would! And, in fact, you'd no doubt use it very carefully, right, making sure you point this magic wand only at things you want, and never at things you don't? Because, sure, point it at a $1 bill, and presto--you've got 1,000 $1 bills! Yet, if you were pointing it again at the $1,000, and suddenly someone walked through the door to collect money you owe--just as you said the magic words--and by turning to see who walked in, you--voila--turned the $10 you owe into $500... You'd probably either run away from the magic wand, or you might panic and lose your grip on it, getting scared you'd point it in the wrong direction again and let it spin out of control, as though it were on automatic... Or, hopefully, you'd put it down and learn from the wizard who first made you aware of this magic wand... very carefully studying from him how to use it, and specifically how to control how you use it. Because such power can be both awesome and intimidating. You know what I mean? In fact, because it would give you the power to create, as well as destroy, would you even want to have this much power? You probably know where we're going with this, because in fact, you already do have this much power, and the magic wand is the power of your mind, pointed through your attention... Activated through the "magic word" we call "feeling". Actually, it's not any words you say, that triggers the magic wand from blasting it's power on what you're focusing on, it's the intensity of the emotions that you feel that determines the amount of magic charging through your wand. That's exactly why most people use their magic to get more of the things they don't want, because they spend a lot of time in fear, worry, jealousy, envy, disappointment and other negative things. And those negative feelings they feel intensely, giving them tons of power, in fact. Exactly like the magic wand accidentally focusing on the $10 debt instead of the $1,000, and creating $500 more in debt, most people use their great magic opposite of how it's intended to be used. Each of us has this great power precisely to make magic in our lives, intentionally creating things to make things easier, more enjoyable, more fun, far more fulfilling and of greater service to others. Because we already know we live in an expanding universe, and yet on this planet, that expansion takes place through us, as individuals deliberately applying our magic. We do that by controlling what we focus our attention on. We do that by...
