So: - Have a plan for how you are going to get where you are going - Be consistent and realistic, i.e. don't delude yourself. This is a big one. I think people read about "as if"-ness and think it's an instruction to be delusional. No, be realistic. - Be unstoppable, but be flexible. Disclaimer: I haven't read the book. However, I am the leading provider of multimedia album downloads worldwide. If you want to see "as if"-ness, surf on by. You can see what is there now. It doesn't look like much, depending on your perspective of course. So, come back again next year and see where things are. Now, you may notice I haven't defined what a "leading provider" is. This is where the "as if"-ness steps in. OK, well, maybe the corollary should be: “Act as if, but don’t be stupid about it.” So:

When I see your beeUtifull vagina on a Hollywood billboard, I'll buy the book.

Actually, I'm still not famous so maybe I should re-read them. Motherfucker!! Why does it have to be so much work??

Because if you’re not thinking GOOD thoughts, you’re thinking BAD thoughts… and you’ll bring down some wicked bad shit on your life." Like sending myself to the cornfield? This is actually nothing new, self-help books and sales training manuals have been saying this (and more recently adding "daily affirmations") for the better part of a century. “What you think about you bring about, which means you HAVE to think positive.

It's not a big dream in my mind, but it's my dream. My dream, and I hope you don't think it's stupid, is to spend the rest of my days traveling around the continent in a converted bus, just seeing what's out there. I do it to some degree now, but my travels are punctuated by periods in which I must stay in one place long enough to find work and save money to be able to move on. My wife is also reading "the Secret" and she, too, has told me a lot about conceptualizing and living "as if." So far it seems to me that the only "secret" is how reading that book will allow me to reach my goal. I mean, I can act as if I already live in my bus conversion and leave work today, drive to the best campground in town (where all the snowbirds park their million dollar coaches), and pick the bus of my dreams to walk into, but something tells me the so-called "actual owners" will suddenly "act as if" I'm a nutjob and call the police, who will "act as if" I'm breaking the law and cart my ass off to jail. So... my question is... How do these principles translate into ACTUALLY reaching your goals. I can "act as if" my wife wants nothing more than to have a threesome with me and Tawny Cable, but that ain't gonna make it so. so I have a dream. It’s not a big dream in my mind, but it’s my dream.
