It's Not Really Attraction, It's Art

Do you really attract things to you like magnets or do you transform what you experience?

This is the question that has begun to interest me as of late.

To me, the Universe is a wonderful canvas and your dreams, focus and feelings are your palette. Your dream is the vision of what you want to create. Your focus is the brush choice. Your feelings are the colors. Your actions make it happen.

The Universe has within it every possibility. Anything you can dream, you can create.

Have you heard this quote?

"Everything that can be invented has been invented."
- Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, U.S. Patent Office, 1899

Once you believe that something cannot be done or more cannot be invented, history will mark you down as a fool. (You can quote me on that).

"There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home."
— Ken Olsen, founder of Digital Equipment, in 1977.

The point here is that the Universe is boundless. Everything is possible. Just follow the artist's code.


  1. Decide what you want to create.

  2. Visualize it as if it were complete.

  3. Internalize the motivation. Feel what it will be like with it complete.

  4. Take focused action and don't stop until it is done.

  5. Special note: Stay open to the possibility of something even better coming out of your dream.

"This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication."
— William Orton, president of Western Union, in 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell tried to sell the company his invention.


Take some time now to decide what you really want. Next, follow the steps and allow it to happen.

I saw a little art this past weekend up in Mammoth and it just rung in my soul.

It doesn't cost anything to dream, but it can be very costly not to.
