Jaee:

I was traveling when I saw your incredibly powerful comment and couldn't wait until I got back to the PC to write this to you (I was using my Blackberry when the comment notification came in).

First of all, I'm so inspired about how you "stumbled" your way through my blog and found my story about how I got promoted through the power of positive thinking and visualization.  I'm so thrilled to hear that this story impacted you in life changing ways.  Thank you for letting me know.  It is life changing messages like this that keep me going.  

Yes, you will eventually reach a point where your old way of thinking no longer exists.  It takes time to reprogram your belief system and rewire your brain.  The key is to first become aware, which you have evidently done, and then from there you can begin to live life consciously and take baby steps toward change.

Congratulations!  You're right - it was no accident you were led to that particular article.  God and the universe leads us in mysterious ways and I'm glad you found me.  :)</description>

		<description>Hi Stephen,  

I was looking at your site and read under "Other Posts You Might Like"
and found the story in your post one that was very inspiring and got me thinking, I want to that too! Your reference to "The Power of Positve 
Thinking" and the chapter "New Thoughts Can Remake You", really rang 
out at me because I have had this book for about 10 years and have 
only glanced through it UNTIL I read your post. I got the book out and 
read this chapter yesterday. I feel great! I am just "finding my way" 
from years of simply wrong thinking but I know I'll get there. I have your 
site saved in my favorites and check it out now and then because its so 
great BUT unfortunately my thinking over the last while is not what it 
should be and can be and I haven't read it in a while but something 
just pulled me to it again, it was no accident.  

Thank you so much.

		<description>Hi Ivana:

I'd love to hear about your personal story too.  It's what makes the world go around.  Every person on this planet has a special, unique story so one day if you are up for it, I'd love to hear your experience too.  Even if you weren't able to do what I did.  It doesn't make yours any less valuable, especially in retrospect.  You probably learned something from it and that, itself, makes for valuable wisdom that you now carry around inside yourself.  :)</description>

		<description>I so empathize with this post, Stephen.  I have shared this experience, but unfortunately, I was so overwhelmed by the whole experience that I was never able to do what you, so bravely, did.  Thanks for sharing and inspiring.</description>

		<description>[...] 2. The Law of Attraction is NOT about manipulation. For instance, trying to changing other people&#8217;s behavior - only God can change people, not you. The only person you can change is yourself. When you change yourself for the better, others can&#8217;t help but notice and behave favorably. This is what happened with my experience with &#8220;Harry the Bank Boss.&#8221; [...]</description>

		<description>Karen:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I'm glad you enjoyed this story.  It's amazing, isn't it?  When you change your perception about others, especially if it's laced with loving thoughts, your outer reality really does change!  It's a lesson I'll never forget.  It's probably the hardest lesson to learn becuase there you are - having to face someone who you perceive (at least in the beginning) to be making life difficult for you.  How can you send loving thoughts to that person?  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Pretty hard huh?  But once you get the hang of it, miracles transform right in front of your eyes - it's most amazing!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thanks for stopping by and writing.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Stephen</description>

		<description>Bravo! As a college professor it is the same intent and purposes that i try to instill upon my students. Not only to understand the scenario in which we are thrust upon, but the applications and responses in how we react to a particular stimuli. I am also a firm beliver of being repsonsible for our outcomes in life. I too, like you, Stephen, dont want life to go by and say sitting in my rocking chair when i am 86 years old. "I should have done this, I should have done that..." In other words stop bitching and do something about it!</description>
