Have a prosperous day!

I love this: Believe that you have received what you have asked for.

This has proven true in my life. Because, if I live...as if I have already received what I have asked for, my motivations and motions throughout the day, change. For example, when I believed that I could 'see' that college degree on my wall... It gave me the motivation to 'act' like a person would if they had the drive to do something like this. I went through the motions of calling the college, making financial arrangements, talking to all the people I needed to talk to in order to make it come about.

I'm sure the meaning to these words "believe that you have already received what you have asked for" could be understood in a variety of ways. For me, I have two ways of looking at it: the earlier one mentioned here and this one - I used it as a spring board to look at people who I respect, people I want to be more like... and ask myself, "If I was them how would I get this project done?" and then do what "I projected" they would do. It works!
And now... I don't think about what they would do, because I've done it. Now my question is: "How can I do it better?"
