What's Impossible?
Buddy Estrella now believes in miracles.
On Tuesday I went to get new clothes for my Attract Money Now Live event happening this weekend. After releasing 40 pounds and putting on 15 pounds of muscle, few of my old clothes fit. It was time for a new wardrobe (and an invoice for it sent to Bill Phillips).
I headed to Capra & Cavelli in Austin. It’s a legendary clothing store. Esquire magazine voted it one of the best in the country. But I had never been in it. I went there with the intention of having someone dress me. After all, my normal dress code is T-shirt and shorts. I needed an elevated look for my event. I needed help.
Buddy believes in miracles - now
The store I went to had nothing but conservative clothes, Fall fashions, and heavy wools. That’s not for me. I want unusual, leather, different; something to symbolize the new me. Something light and breezy so I won’t melt on stage from my adrenaline or the hot lights.
Buddy is the main sales person at the store. He instantly recognized me from my marketing materials. He even bought my first Nightingale-Conant audio program, way back in 1999, titled The Power of Outrageous Marketing. Of course, he also knew me from my role in the movie The Secret. We became fast friends.
Buddy admitted they didn’t have what I wanted in the store. He said I should consider getting custom clothes tailor made for me at some time. Of course, that would take a month. Needing something by this weekend wouldn’t cut it. He suggested I just go to a high end department store and buy something off the rack.
Since I was already in his store, I said to take my measurements and make a blazer for me. I could at least get the ball rolling and be prepared for future seminars.
After he measured me and we chose the fabric, I decided to question Buddy.
“How long will it take to make this blazer?’
“Four to six weeks.”
While I heard him, I didn’t accept his answer as the final one.
I then asked the daring question, “What would it take to get it done by Friday?”
“IMPOSSIBLE!” Buddy blurted out, smiling at my audacious question.
“Impossible?” I repeated.
“It’s already Tuesday and you’d need it on Friday,” he explained. “That means they’d have to make it right now and overnight it on Thursday. There’s just no way.”
Two other sales people in the store smiled and nodded their heads.
They all agreed it was impossible.
Something in me wouldn’t accept this “reality.”
I thought of actress Audrey Hepburn saying, “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible!'”
I thought of all the books I had read that expanded my mind and urged me to question limitations, such as The Power of Impossible Thinking by Yoram (Jerry) R. Wind and Colin Cook.
I thought of my own books, and my practice of living “At Zero” by practicing ho’oponopono non-stop.
I thought of my Miracles Coaching program and how I encourage people to believe in the impossible.
I still had my intention in mind of getting new clothes for my event. I also felt very inspired to see if there were any real limits here.
Inspiration and intention are two forces to reckon with.
Buddy didn’t know what he was in for.
“Look,” I began. “I don’t live in the world of limitations. I know it may seem impossible, but would you be willing to make a call and find out for sure?”
I could see Buddy was wrestling with being polite with me. A part of him knew it was impossible to get custom made clothes in 48 hours. Another part of him didn’t want to offend the new customer before him who created books and audios that he admired.
“I’m happy to call,” he said, smiling.
He did.
As he explained the situation to the tailor on the phone, I had a feeling this just might happen. I then feared they might stiff me by adding a thousand dollars to the bill for rush delivery. I told myself I would pay it if it came to that.
Buddy got off the phone and said, “They can do it.”
“They can?” I said, laughing at the ease of making “impossible” turn into possible.
“But they want more money to do it,” he said.
I braced myself.
“How much more?”
“$175.”
He said it like it was a lot. Considering I was leading an event on attracting money, an extra two hundred bucks seemed like a well deserved tip to get such speedy service. I agreed to pay it.
And I’ll have the custom made leather blazer this Friday — tomorrow! — right in time for my event.
If you want to see me in it — and discover how to transcend limitations like “impossible” — either attend my event in person in Austin or sit right there and watch it live. We will stream it right from the event itself.
Just go to — Attract Money Now Live.
No excuses now.
After all, “What’s impossible?’

The Thanksgiving Wishbone
At Thanksgiving, when I was a kid, my mom
would save the turkey “wishbone” (technically
called the furcula), lay it up somewhere on
the kitchen sill to dry, and then a few days
later I’d get to make a wish and snap the
wishbone with my brothers or sister holding
the other side. When it broke, whoever held
the longer piece would receive their wish.
I did a bit of research and found out that
this custom came from an ancient Italian
civilization known as the Etruscans. They
passed it on to the Romans, and eventually
it reached the English.
Being Italian, I was curious about the
Etruscans and discovered that they believed
chickens were oracles, capable of predicting
the future. According to an article in
Mental Floss:
Attend this. Click image.
“They exploited the chickens’ supposed gifts
by turning them into walking ouija boards with
a bizarre ritual known as…’rooster divination.’
They would draw a circle on the ground and divide
it into wedges representing the letters of the
Etruscan alphabet….Bits of food were scattered
on each wedge and a chicken was placed in the
center of the circle. As the bird snacked,
scribes would note the sequence of letters
that it pecked at, and the local priests would
use the resulting messages to divine the future….”
The Etruscans believed that the bird’s fortune
telling power remained even after its death,
and would dry the bone in the sun to preserve it.
“People would then pick up the bone, stroke it,
and make wishes on it, hence its modern name.”
This simple custom has withstood the vagaries
of time, changing very little throughout cultures.
It’s hard to believe that even though this ritual
is thousands of years old, it will still be a part
of many Thanksgiving dinners again this season.
But that’s the power of belief.
And as you can see, unless you change something,
things can go on quite indefinitely.
Releasing this month!
Still…there’s another reason I wanted to tell
this story, which is that we simply don’t need
to go through all this. We certainly don’t need
a turkey, a chicken, or a bone – fun as it is.
Here’s the secret of the ages: If you want to know
your future, you are the oracle.
Yes, you.
With this knowledge, you can transform your life
into one of joy, peace, inspiration, love and
enthusiasm at any time you choose.
This may seem like a tall order now, but it won’t
after my two-day life-changing event in Austin
this weekend (and you won’t have to wait for the
wishbone at Thanksgiving).

On the other hand, not understanding this is the
cause of an untold number of struggles, be they
in the realm of finance, relationships, health
and body, or work.
In fact, most of these problems poof and vanish
like magic once you know how to access your deep
connection to the Divine and, thus, cause your
own transformation.
Truth – or fortune – be told, awakening is the
key to manifesting your true destiny and calling.
And it’s the only future really worth knowing.
Join me at my event (or watch it from the comfort
of where you are sitting right now) —

Who ARE You?
Back in the early 1960s, I used to watch a popular television game show called, To Tell the Truth, where three contestants did their best to bluff a panel of four celebrity judges.
One of the contestants (who, according to the rules could never lie) always had some sort of unusual occupation. The other two were imposters (and could lie). At the end of every show, the host would say, “Will the real ‘so and so’ please stand up?” and we’d all find out who was telling the truth.
Life is not really that much different.
We’re all a bit like those celebrity judges on the show trying to figure out what’s the truth…or to put it another way, which beliefs are going to get us where we want to go. Because, let’s face it, the real rewards go to those who have beliefs that support them in winning – with money or otherwise.
This famous game show line is where I got the idea for one of the chapter titles in my forthcoming book, At Zero: The Quest for Miracles through Ho’oponopono (which you’ll be the first to receive prior to its official release next year when you attend my November event in Austin).
Coming soon!
The chapter is called “Will the Real Ho’oponopono Please Stand Up?” and reflects one of the reasons I had for writing this book: to clear up a number of misconceptions surrounding this ancient healing method and to shed light on how it evolved through the 21st century.
And it has evolved…just like the rest of life. (Seriously, where would we be if the Old Testament hadn’t given way to the New Testament?)
Nothing stands still.
New revelations, new inspirations, new information is constantly revealing itself moment to moment – if you’re open to it.
Being open means that sometimes you have to surrender what you know.
However….this does require faith and trust, two principles you’ll find threaded throughout all my material.
In fact, it’s how I create all my material.
And Ho’oponopono has been invaluable in this regard because it helps me distinguish the difference between my ego and true inspiration. It’s my favorite method for transforming myself – cleaning and clearing any internal beliefs that could potentially run interference as I move forward.
And, to me, the results speak for themselves.
Attend this. Click image.
I’ve been able to exponentially increase my productivity and, surprisingly, increase my range of creative pursuits.
For example, in addition to writing books, I’ve become an award-nominated musician (when a few years ago I couldn’t even play a chord).
Recently, I’ve even released weight and transformed my physical body – going to an entirely new level of health and fitness (at the age of 60).
There’s simply no end to what you can achieve through your own personal transformation – even in areas that have been persistent problems.
But first, you have to decide what your truth is…
How?
By consciously choosing between beliefs that work and those that merely keep you “wandering in the desert” – beliefs that make you rich or those that keep you struggling.
I’m excited that this is the level of work we’re going to be doing in Austin, Texas on November 9 and 10, and where, when it’s over, you’ll walk away with a new view of yourself.
The real you…
You know, the one that’s just been waiting to be called to stand up.

Disney's Secret
Years ago, Walt Disney was asked if it
ever concerned him that the brilliant
ideas being developed by his imagineers
(the term he used for his employees who
designed and built the world’s greatest
theme parks) would be leaked or stolen.
He replied, “No. We can create faster
than people can steal.”
And I’m wondering…
Can you?
Are you that confident in your ability to create?
Maybe it seems unfair to ask, given that we’re
talking about a mastermind of invention and
entertainment. But, according to the accounts
of Walt‘s life, he went through a number of
transformations.
In one article I read, besides coming from a
“highly dysfunctional” childhood, “At age 22,
Walt experienced bankruptcy after the failure
of a cartoon series in Kansas City. He headed
to Los Angeles with $40 in cash, and an
imitation-leather suitcase containing only
a shirt, two undershorts, two pairs of socks,
and some drawing materials. Feeling that others
did animation better, his goal was to be an
actor out in Hollywood. It never occurred.”
Thank God.
Where would the world be without his contributions?
More relevant, though, is where will the world be
without yours?
Have you ever really thought about it this way…
that you might have something to offer the world
of great significance?
Believe me, I didn’t always feel or act like I
had something to contribute. When I was homeless,
I certainly had no idea I’d write over 50 books,
or help thousands of people. I had no idea I would
become the world’s first self-help musician with my
own album – let alone six albums.
But here’s the thing: You don’t know what you
don’t know.
And you don’t have to…but…you do have to get out
of your own way. You have to stop looking out
there for answers to questions like:
* How do I attract money in this terrible economy?
* How do I improve my self-image?
* How do I stay positive when people around me are negative?
* How do I discover my life purpose when I don’t know what I want?
* How do I help others?
* How do I attract my love?
* What can I do when everything looks hopeless?
In a nutshell, there’s one answer to all of these:
stop waiting around.
If you want to learn to create and have the confidence to do
it again and again – the best and only way to do this that
I know for sure is through transformation.
If this sounds like a lot of, well, frankly, work, then I’ve
got good news for you…
At my event in November, I’ll be sharing my recent discovery
of the Law of Zero: “Zero” is alive.
Not only can you get inspiration from it, you can send
intentions into it – and I’ll be revealing how to do it
for the first time at the event. I’m excited because this
information goes beyond anything I’ve ever taught before.
Even better… it’s going to take you beyond anything you’ve
ever been before.
Like Walt once said, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”
Join me in Austin for the fun…

The Decision
Patrick Doucette signed up for my upcoming
event and posted this on my blog —
“I recently bought my ticket to this event
in Austin as a leap of faith…something was
nudging me to go…and so I am. Flying in for
the weekend of November 8th to 10th but wait
a minute… I am already feeling an empowerment!
“Now that I know I’m going, I somehow feel
stronger, more confident and I am having my
best month ever! This might sound crazy but
it seems I’m already getting a return on my
investment BEFORE the event!! Wonder how
things will go when I get back!?!”
That’s always been my experience, too.
As soon as you sign up for an event, the
changes begin.
Why?
How?
Once you make a decision to do something
different, you send a signal to your mind
that the change begins NOW.
Until you make a decision, life is the
“same old, same old.”
Once you make a decision, you fracture time
and space and create a new reality.
The decision itself cuts through the old
habits and releases energy to move in a
new direction.
It’s psychological and mystical and more.
But it’s real.
Find out for yourself.
Take a leap of faith.
