Yesterday, the above statement came to my thoughts. It all started with a particular personal coaching session two months ago. Now, In just two weeks, they managed to organize, work together and conduct this fairly complicated preview. Amazing, isn't it? I am truly proud of all of you!

There were doubts amongst the team members, if anyone would turn up for the preview at all , whether they were prepared to handle a big crowd, whether their power point presentation would be ready, whether the attending crowd would be impressed by their presentation, and so on.

As I listened to their concerns, I smiled as it brought back memories of me, back in the days when I first started conducting my seminars. I remember having sleepless nights before any important presentation; the constant worries whether I had prepared accordingly, whether my audience would like my presentation, etc.

One of the team members asked, "how do you manage to look so confident that we will be able to pull it off?". I answered, "just like a farmer who has planted the seeds, and then watch them grow into trees producing fruits". He blinked, expecting an explanation.

I said that any farmer worth his salt knows that preparations prior to planting the seed, planting the seed and taking care of it during its growth in the early stages are the most important stages in the growth of the plant. What is meant by taking care here is weeding, fertilizing and of course watering.

The same, most of the team members have gone through a long process of preparation; learning and applying Nature's Laws truthfully, setting goals (planting seed) and now slowly heading towards achieving the goals.

They constantly focus on the goals, always check and correct their negative thoughts (for example doubts) into positive thoughts and associate themselves with positive-minded people. This is likened to clearing the weeds in the ground where the seed is growing, and then fertilizing, followed by watering.

As such, since I know that each one of the team members has been rehearsing, of course I am confident that they will be able to carry it through. He nodded gesturing that he understood.

Just as I had anticipated, the whole presentation went well. However, the team had other problems to worry about on that day, the pleasant kind that one would not mind having! Due to the unexpectedly large crowd, they needed more chairs and they were also short handed when they were bombarded with too many enquiries from the crowd.

I reminded the team not to get over excited as that was just the beginning. The presentation was just their first step towards achieving greater goals in their lives.

Always remember Napolean Hill's powerful caption, "whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve!".
