Stories and metaphors can create huge shifts in people.  You may have sensed it from Jack Canfield’s Chicken Soup for the Soul books and Paul Scheele’s Paraliminals. They also used quite a few stories in Effortless Success: Living the Law of Attraction to illustrate points and make it easier for you to make the adjustments and changes you need.  To follow is one of the true stories from the course. Hope you get its message.

Glenna was a single mom with three young daughters. She had a house payment and a car payment, and she needed to rekindle some dreams. One evening she attended a seminar and heard a man speak on what she called the I x V = R Principle: imagination mixed with vividness becomes reality.

Following this principle, she turned her written prayer list into pictures. She collected old magazines and cut pictures from them that represented the desires of her heart. These are the photos she placed in her treasure book:

• A good-looking man
• A woman in a wedding gown and a man in a tuxedo
• A bouquet of flowers
• Beautiful diamond jewelry
• An island in the sparkling blue Caribbean
• A lovely home
• New furniture
• A woman who had recently become vice president of a large corporation

About eight weeks later, Glenna was driving down a California freeway when suddenly a gorgeous red and white Cadillac passed her. The driver looked over at her and smiled. She smiled back, and this guy followed her for the next 15 miles.

Eventually she pulled off the road and parked, and the guy pulled off right behind her.

After their first date, he sent her a dozen roses.

Then she found out that his hobby was collecting diamonds.

About three months before the wedding, he said to her, "I found the perfect place to go on our honeymoon: St. John’s Island in the Caribbean."

They moved into a gorgeous new home and furnished it with the elegant furniture she had pictured in her treasure book.

And she became the vice president of human resources in the company where she worked.

Amazing!
