YOU are the author of your life. YOU are the director, the producer and the star of your life. Write yourself a great script.

And keep imagining exactly what your greatest desires will look like. What it will feel like. What others will say to you. IT IS AMAZING! THE CANCER IS GONE! GOOD FOR YOU! I'M SO PROUD! Imagine each detail. And keep reliving it. Let the ideas percolate in your mind and fill your thoughts daily.

And KNOW that what you are saying will harden into BELIEF and in turn will miraculously manifest as your real story, despite what your senses, reason, statistics, the experts tell you. Stop being a realist. YOU ARE THE AUTHOR OF YOUR LIFE.

If you don't like your present situation, rewrite the script. In detail. And live AS IF what you want already exists. Because, it truly does already exist as a solid possibility for you to reach for!
