M.A.G.I.C. for 2023 part one

This Saturday, Jason will record his portion of the “M.A.G.I.C. for Teens” course, in which he will teach a version of a Morning Ritual, what he sees as having made a difference in his life, getting him “From ADHD to A’s”. Then once that’s done, Tananarive and I will interview each other on our perspectives on the entire process, from Preschool to Graduation.

I will need to create an outline for him, and he’ll riff off of that. So the first thing is the “M” and also the creation of the entire program. It was extracted from “The Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace D. Wattles, the book often said to be a core inspiration for “The Secret.”

The Secret annoys me, because of all the people who believe that if they just wish for it hard enough, the universe will bow for them. I have only one thing to say for those who believe this:

“HOW do you know when you are wishing hard enough?” And my answer is: “When you become obsessed with its accomplishment, and get off the damned couch and make it happen.”

Simple. When you are willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES (that passes the Three Gates) to accomplish it. That’s how you know.

Given that, then, the first step is the Map or Model. Working hard IS NOT ENOUGH. Running fast will NOT take you to the Pacific Ocean if you are running East. So many people think that they have to be strong enough to rip a door off its hinges to open it. No, you need to push instead of pull, or have the combination..
