The Crystal Ball

Some say I am a Seer because I’ve always had an uncanny ability to look into the future and see the ending. I can accurately predict the outcome in a person’s life 100% of the time. Oh yes, I am that good.

I have a crystal ball.

No, I don’t.

Ok…

I’ll let you in on my secret.

It’s not really magic, I just happen to be a master mind gardener and I know thought seeds.

I know that if a person believes that they are no good, have no luck, and life is always working against them, then that is what the world will reflect back to them. It’s sad but true.

If they come to me with an idea, I simply tell them in the nicest way possible that it will never work. It could be any idea really. Write a book. Record an album. Start a business. Become a life coach. Whatever. I explain the pitfalls, the cost, the time commitment, the entire shebang and they hang their head and walk away muttering. “Yeah, nothing I do works anyway.”

But if a person believes they are blessed, lucky, life is working for them, and everything they touch turns to gold and they come to me with an idea… any idea… I will always say YES! Go for it.

Of course, I also explain the pitfalls, the cost, the time commitment, the entire shebang and they walk away excited and encouraged. And I know that no matter what– they will find a way to make their idea work.

It’s quite simple.

Whatever you believe in your mind always manifests in your world.

And so you see, I just gave you your very own crystal ball… to use if you really, really want to.

It’s a pretty old idea actually, repeated in many cultures. Hawaiian Huna for example teaches “Energy flows where attention goes”. One of the ideas that the new agers ganked from various Eastern schools of thoughts also is that “like energies attract”. Part of “Law of Attraction” teaching as well. And then there’s “just” psychology… “If all you can see is poverty and suffering, that’s all you’ll experience because you’re fixated on it.”

    There is nothing new under the sun. All wisdom and truth has been spoken since the beginning of time. Each generation born simply echoes it!
    And what’s fascinating is that is spoken always and yet so many of us do not have ears that hear. Be blessed Silk!

Everybody has to figure things out for themselves. Better than advice is stimulation of the thought muscles. Probably maybe. Sometimes people just need somebody to listen, that’s all, they don’t want advice or to have to listen to irrelevant sermons. Kinda like….release of mental or emotional tension.

“All that writers do, say, *&* want to happen they must first have the talent
to make others feel what they feel or want them to feel come to fruition
through persistence comprising determination.”

    DC! I know right?!? Maybe though we hide the truth from ourselves when we are young because we know we will appreciate it all the more when we are older… it’s never too late to start an adventure or to see incredible dreams into existence. You are doing it now and it is an inspiration!

Love this!! We all have our own crystal balls, just gotta remember to use them. 😊

Well written. What we see outside of us is merely a reflection of our most subconscious thoughts.



August 31, 2020 at 12:53 pm

True. Believe or not. Achieve it or not.



August 31, 2020 at 1:17 pm

And you also.

It is like what Henry Ford said, “If you think you can or if you think you can’t, either way you are right.” Well, he said something like that 🙂

I sent my response twice because I didn’t see where the first one got through but I see now that it did. So I look at it as being the new definition of identical twins! (smile)!



August 31, 2020 at 3:50 pm

I am you favorite by default (smile), It is my fault or your fault, but you make my day with those golden words trimmed in creativity *&* crowned in innovation. Than you!

We are shaped by out thoughts we become what we think, a positive post to handle the human suffering, the way you have articulated a simple idea in a more effective way is magnificent a really wonderful article 🙂

Great thoughts 😊👌

Well-written article, Beck. Very informative how the idea is expressed in many cultures. Similarly, I have heard, “Your attitude determines your altitude.” 🙂 Take care, Cheryl

Like it’s said,” Believe in yourself and the rest will fall into place”.
So perfect, Beck!💛

This is a really interesting post, particularly because I am one of those people who have thought for years that I’m incredibly lucky — and my major “dreams” have come true. Even my major “scares” in life weren’t so scary I couldn’t come back from them and that’s because I have been so blessed. Really interesting thoughts, Beck. Thank you.

    Lucky you! 😉
    I got it in my head that I have the Midas Touch. And I do!! I am abundantly blessed.
    Best to make the thoughts good ones.
