Acknowledge and Accept Your Genius

It's always a good idea to see things as they are before starting to change them. A firm grounding in reality is a powerful springboard to manifesting new love and abundance in your life. The best way to ground yourself in reality is to accept it just as it is, and one thing I want you to accept about yourself is that you're already a manifestation genius--I guarantee it. Now, all you have to do is hitch your genius to your heart's desires instead of your default programming.

I realized many years ago that I was an absolute genius at manifestation...with one big problem. My problem was that my genius was hitched to my unconscious programming instead of what I consciously wanted to create.

Let me review how I was using my genius: By 24 years old I had managed to attract several women in a row who abandoned me, and finally I took refuge in a marriage that was mercifully brief but spectacularly painful. Anyone who can create the same pattern with three or four different women is a genius. I'd also managed to create a job I hated and a house I didn't want to live in. I also weighed 320 pounds and had a heavy cough from sucking on Marlboros all day. I was an absolute genius at creating a life I hated. I had mastered the art of making myself miserable.

Fortunately I woke up from this trance. I realized I could create a new body and a magnificent life, just as easily as I had created my old body and my awful life. When I woke up from the trance of my old programming, I realized I could invent a new body--one of my own design instead of a dead man's design. It took me a year to lose the first hundred pounds, and a year to lose the next 20. It took me a few days of discomfort to kick the addiction to cigarettes, but immediately I felt better than I ever had in my life. I didn't stop there. I went on to invent work I love, in a field I never knew existed until I was in my twenties. It's taken daily focus to create a magnificent life, but I haven't had a dull moment in thirty-some years of working on it.

When I woke up from my trance, I realized, if I could unconsciously attract one woman after another who abandoned me, I could just as easily re-write that script and consciously attract women who loved me. I re-wrote my script, and my marriage to Kathlyn has been the greatest treasure of my life.

I know it can be done. My question to you is this: Are you willing to make a commitment to creating a magnificent life?
