Why Little Red Riding Hood
Isn't Real

"It all starts with a SMILE"

Whenever you think about your future, all you're doing is
telling yourself a story. It's either a feel-good story, a
feel-scared story, or something in-between. But it's not real,
it's just a fantasy you're creating.

The future is just a story, no more real than Little Red Riding
Hood.

Although I heartily discourage spending your energy thinking
about the future (or the past), we all do it. And we all tell
ourselves stories when we think about the future. We seem to be
hardwired to conjure up tales of fear-inducing horror and
ecstasy-inducing happiness about our future.

But I want to ask you two questions:

Why is it that when you tell yourself a story of a horrible,
failure-ridden future, you're all too quick to believe it
immediately?

And why is it when you try to tell yourself a story of
incredible success and happiness, you're all to quick to poo-poo
that as if you're not allowed to believe it?

After all, in both of those scenarios you're simply making
something up about what will happen to you in your uncertain
future. In both those scenarios you're simply writing a
fictional novel about your future life. Why are we compelled to
tell ourselves the stories that make us afraid, stressed, and
worried? Why can't the stories be wonderful?

I'm challenging you to tell yourself wonderful stories today. And
I'm prescribing a hearty helping of your humor nature to see
the lightness and gentle humor all around you. What Smile
Strategy are you on this week (I've got 52 of them, after all)?

Dive in!

And, when you hear that voice telling you you're not allowed to
tell wonderful stories about your future, reply that Dr. Kuhn
ordered you to do it. Doctors orders! No excuses!

And I'd love to hear what your wonderful stories are!

Your Attention Please!

Manifesting abundance is as simple as riding a bike; but it can be
as difficult to learn at first. It is so simple, actually, that
you’ll soon find that you’ve been doing it, at various times, your
whole life. But most people are missing a key ingredient, which is
so vital that not having it will almost completely keep you from
creating in this deliberate way. This article will give you that
missing ingredient.
