Wishful Thinking

Summary: This speech is suitable for motivating an audience to use their own power to make a success of their lives.

All of us at some time or other have wished for a secret genie or a fairy Godmother. We would like to rub the magic lamp and have the genie of our wishes appears. Who hasn't as some time wished that scenario a part of their lives? Most of us though have dismissed such fairy tale adventures as fantasy or wishful thinking.

Yet wishful thinking might not be so far from the truth after all. Don't some people seem to have all the luck? We are not just talking about lottery winners, but those who seem to glide from success to success in life. They are not just the wealthy but the blessed, the healthy and happy; they who seem to be fortunate and content in whatever they do. They may be in the minority after all life as we know it is not that way at all. It is hard and filled with struggle. We lurch from crisis to crisis. Wouldn't we like to have their luck? Wouldn't we like to know their secret? What if we could borrow their magic lamp for even just a little while?

The fact is we all have a secret genie. Every one of us has access to an incredible power of attraction. That power has the ability to grant our wishes. This energy is not magic or mysterious. It is a vital part of who we are and it resonates with a vibration that connects us to every living thing in the universe. The truth is if we chose, we could tap into this energy and attract the things we really desire towards us.

Quite rightly we are a little cynical about the idea of fairy godmothers and genies popping out of bottles. We know a lot of other things too. We know for example that we are made out of molecules and we are filled with and vibrate with buzz with energy. We know that our subconscious minds are filled with power and possibilities. We understand that 90% of our brain power or possibility is a mystery to us.

We have some idea too that if we believe something to be real or be possible, that knowledge or belief entirely changes the world and our perception of it. We know too that there is a certain truth in coincidence. Some people call it a self fulfilling prophecy. If we wake up expecting a bad day, a bad day is exactly what we get. If we feel happy, optimistic and look forward to an event, it often turns out to be an enjoyable and uplifting experience.

We understand that the mind is an incredibly complex and infinite place. Its potential to create and invent is unlimited. We know that mind power or rather our ability to control our minds, is an amazing resource. It can control our fears, and radically affect our determination. It can shape our beliefs and our faith.

Yet what is the mind exactly? We can't see it or touch it but our power and potential to direct it is limitless. It is an incredible resource and it is all yours. We are the people who began this speech
