A few years ago, after watching Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret for the first time, I decided to follow one of the steps she gave–the one where she said to ask for something, write it down and believe that it has already arrived.

I was introduced to the movie in November, and the goal I wrote down was that by the end of that month I would receive an unexpected check of $500.00. So,  I wrote the goal down, kept it in my wallet and then simply forgot about it.  I know this will be challenging to believe, but as November closed out I went to visit my mom for my Sunday dinner.  After dinner, once everything was put away, she went to her bedroom and came back with her checkbook.  Then she wrote me a check for …

… Drumroll please …

… $500.00.  I hadn’t thought about that note that I’d tucked into my wallet since the second week in November, but when my mom handed me that check, my heart skipped a beat.

“What’s this for? ” I asked. She shrugged. “Nothing.  Just wanted to do something for you,” she said.

As I opened my wallet to put the check in, I saw the note I’d written earlier in the month.  I pulled it out and showed it to my Mom.  She’s EXTREMELY skeptical of spiritual matters, by the way. She has a challenging time with my new paradigm.  I recommended a book I’ve been using recently for my blog called Journey of Souls by Michael Newton. I’m doing my best to help her remove her blinders.  (Not being so successful, however.) This was a good chance to do that.

When she saw the note that I pulled out of my wallet, she was as surprised as I was.  The EXACT figure I’d written down was received at the EXACT time I’d asked for.  C’mon!  That just doesn’t happen.

A few decades back, my wife (at the time) went to the doctor. Her foot hurt horribly every time she stepped on it. The doctor diagnosed the problem as bone spurs–a very, very painful condition–and told her to walk carefully from now on. He also said that it might take surgery to remove the spurs.

Soon afterwards, she and I read a book on visualization. One of the sections was about something called “target words.” A target word, the author said, was a phrase you said constantly, often out loud, thus reaffirming it in your brain and in your life. Because of the repetition, the brain would react as if it was being told what to do. So, my wife and I thought about this and remembered that she had a habit of saying “I just can’t stand that!”  when something bothered her. We agreed that she would completely stop saying that  particular phrase.

Just a few weeks later, the doctor reexamined her foot, and you guessed it:  The bone spurs were completely dissolved–no surgery required.

Think of those target words you might say regularly. Maybe they are: “It’s killing me!,” “You worry me to death!,” “That just wears me out!,” or “That makes me sick!” All of these phrases are destructive and can cause physical ailments. I encourage you to choose better words and thus to choose a better life.

Last January, I was feeling alone. After having neglected my existing friendships for quite a while and failing to look for new ones, it hit me: I needed to make a change. Big time.

I needed friends, but not just any friends–good ones. Deep ones. Ones that I loved to talk to and could learn from.

So first, I got busy. I called some people that I hadn’t talked to in a while. I went to some events and met some new like-minded people.

And then, late in the month, I decided to pray about it. This is the affirmation I decided on:

“I have several close girlfriends.”

And it worked.

The day that I wrote that affirmation in my journal, I received two very sweet, heartfelt texts from a woman that I admire very much, and had been hoping to get to know better. Then, later the same day, I got another text from another friend I’d made recently asking me to go out to coffee. Since I hadn’t heard from the first woman for quite a while, and the second had never texted me before, I was really amazed at and grateful for how fast the affirmation had worked.

I’m not expecting everything to change instantly as a result of this one affirmation. But I believe that if I continue in the frame of mind I’m in now regarding friendship, the big change I’m looking for will come.
