This is a pacy and entertaining read. Lynn Grabhorn comes across as quite a character who has had more than her fair share of downs in life. She has realized that trying to think positively will not help us much if our subterranean feelings remain habitually negative and unacknowledged. She clarifies why most of our dreams have never materialised, why we have lived with all-too-empty bank accounts, tough relationships, failing health and spiritually unfulfilling lives. While doing this, she makes you laugh a lot and enthuses you with her excitement at what she has discovered: that if you pay attention to our feelings they will come more to the surface, so we are aware of when we feel negative and can do something to alter that. We will be surprised by how often we are feeling bad. No wonder our attempts at surface positivity fail.
Too often, we focus on what we don't want. Lynn teaches us to use the considerable power of our mind to imagine what we do want and to support that imagining with positive feelings. This translates into true belief in a good outcome, no matter what the outcome. And it aligns with our experience that, when we can operate from the belief that whatever happens, we will be able to handle it, better things start to
happen. Even difficult experiences turn out to be necessary in order for a brighter future to open up.
Though, at first glance, this may seem to be just another book about how to cater to our multitudinous, and often unnecessary desires, it
carries a much deeper message - that it is possible for each one of us to be master of our fate and, therefore, to contribute to our world in
whatever way we choose, by using the atributes we already have.
