What I Learned From Oprah

November 16, 2007

Ten years ago, I created this mantra with matching pictures of a beautiful house, a bar, couple seated in a car while traveling into the horizon, dollar bills and of course, our happy pictures of  togetherness. I'd always put it up on my wall where I can easily see it every day. I've memorized my mantra to heart and I never fail to recite it in my head especially when I'm feeling stressed. I learned this from Oprah back in college when I used to watch her show all the time. Visualization technique such as this and constant recitation of what you want help you acheive your goals. This is affirmed by the teachings of Andrew Matthews' Being Happy & Making Friends and Chin Ning Chu's Thick Face Black Heart and those other self-help authors which I've read through the years. And it just dawned on me…. look at me now. I have my own house, my own car, my own money, and I do travel a lot (all for pleasure and no business trips at all) compared to many of my average contemporaries (thanks to Popsie, Peter and my current employer, of course). So I guess it really does work. I think now, it's time to add another mantra where I'll be in a job that will not only bring me financial success but emotional fulfillment as well. Hmmm…


For those of you who are also trying to find satisfaction in their lives, perhaps you can join me in this endeavor. Create a mantra (the shorter the better and the sooner it will happen) and recite it 12 times while facing the mirror in the morning and in the evening until you've completely memorized it, such that you can recite it in your head anywhere you go. Take it to heart and visualize yourself being THAT already (whatever that may be). Believe that it is already happening to you. Mind over matter. You attract what you think. Good luck and discover your power within! Cheers!
