One of my favorite quotes of all time comes from the wonderful book Illusions: Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach.
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they’re yours.
Think about that. Could it be, really, that what we INSIST IS TRUE is then our reality?
If that is the case (which has been my experience), then why not INSIST UPON that which we want versus that which we don’t want?
- Instead of insisting “we can’t” – how about insisting not only “we can” but “it’s done”…
- Instead of insisting on our excuses for staying small, we insist the universe bend to our will…
- Instead of playing the old childhood tapes of fear, ridicule and embarrassment - stand tall in your genius and share it with the world.
It’s comforting, really. Because now you can just speak into existence exactly how you want the music of your life to play out.
Argue for your limitations, and sure enough they’re yours.
Or you can argue for exactly what you want. And have it. All of it.
If you dare.

Hi Rob,
I’ve been lurking on your website for awhile and I have really enjoyed it. This post caught my attention because it reminded me of a scripture I’ve read; “as a man thinkest so is he”. As a Christian I’ve found that when I agree with what God says about me, my life becomes truly blessed, but when I embrace the negative thoughts that come, life becomes unbearable. Anyhow, keep up the great work Rob, I deeply appreciate your honest approach to IM and I can’t wait to get on board! God bless,
Charles
Thank you, Charles. We get EXACTLY what we focus on. Focus on being and becoming a blessing and that is EXACTLY what we get. Focus on LACK and we just get more of the same.
Hi Rob –
Hey is this the book you read to us from in Austin? btw … I really enjoyed your stage time.

Yeah, it is. I probably read it 3-4 times per year. Lots of good lessons there and it seems every time I review it I learn something more. Fun stuff.
