Getting What You Want

Your Tongue Functions, But So Does Your Fear

Garth Beyer

There’s no frog in your throat or cat having your tongue. You have a voice, you have curiosity (obviously what killed the cat, emphasizing the cat can’t have your tongue), and you have an interest. So why are you quiet? Why are you standing still? Why are you incapable of doing anything but breathing and fidgeting in your seat?

Fear grips us all at times. The better chance of accomplishment, the larger the opportunity, the increased likelihood of getting what you want – that’s when fear really gets to us. That’s not okay.

I was recently in a conference where everyone attending was interested in the speaker and what he had to say, but they didn’t show it beyond just being there. Fear had them and they missed their opportunity to stand out, to be recognized as the courageous one, to be remembered by the speaker, to accept the authority, the accomplishment, the opportunity. Why? They feared being disappointed.

Can you guess what they felt anyway? – disappointed.

How Thoughts Become Things

Garth Beyer

Have you ever thought of a song you wanted to listen to and then you turned on the radio or Pandora and the song was on? It’s an example of the incredible power your mind has on the universe.

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

But let’s put this in prospective.

Yes, as human beings with brains, we are powerful. We may not have complete control over our future, but we have a lot of control, especially with our thoughts. Have you realized though, that the song you wanted to listen to, is a song that would be played on that station regardless if you thought of it or not?

The song wasn’t playing by only chance or because of what you believe, becomes. You would never hear a heavy Metallica song – no matter how much you thought about it – if you only ever had on an old country radio station.

It’s true that we have control of our thoughts and our thoughts have a certain degree of control on what is created in our life. Let’s apply this to something beside music.

It is extremely unlikely that you will become an artist if you never put yourself in the position of an artist, no matter how much you think about it. Taking this even further, you won’t become a famous artist – that you imagine daily being – if all you ever do is paint and stick your work in the closet. The possibility of someone from the art museum ending up in your closet is pretty low.

We can think about what we want as much as we want, we can visualize, we can imagine the life we want. We can do all of that. But none of it will exist unless we step in the box that makes what we want, able to occur.

Have a song you want to listen to? Put on a radio station that is likely to play it.

Want to become an artist? Put yourself (and your work!) where people can see it.

Want anything? Go to where you can be handed it.
