It was intention manifestation, before I even knew what that was!

I was at work on a Friday, frustrated that I was consistently missing the work goals I set for myself. I was completely unmotivated to do the things I know would improve my business -- they aren't "really hard" things to do, and I was confident in my abilities...I just didn't want to do them. What I needed, I decided, was to develop my self-dicipline, and take the positive results as reward for my hard work. So, I jumped on my computer & did a Yahoo search on "self-discipline," hoping to find something that would tell me what to do, and the first article that came up was Steve's "Self-Discipline" article series. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it was good and he made a lot of sense, so I kept reading.....for over 3 hours. I was hooked one or two articles later; Steve states in one of the blog posts on goal-setting (I forget which one now) that self-discipline is one thing, but if you are a smart person and have to force yourself to work toward your goal, you probably haven't set the right goal. That comment struck me like a bolt of lightning, and I haven't looked back.

That was 2 months ago, and things are better than ever. I'm happier, healthier, and seeing results in ways I never thought possible. I'm fascinated by the Law of Attraction, and I can see it working everyday.

Thanks, Steve!
