Back in the late 1800s a company sold “Ambition Pills.”
Their ads claimed the pills could cure anything, including sagging motivation.
Today we might call such a pill a placebo, because it’s the belief in the pill that does anything, and not the pill.
These pills contained poison
The problem is, the pills being sold in the 1800s were made with strychnine – a poison.
Take enough of those pills, and you could die.
That’s a pill that does something.
I’d guess that the company didn’t last long and their “Ambition Pills” were taken off the market.
But you can find variations of them today.
People want a “magic pill” – whether a book, a formula, a tool, a technique, or a capsule, to help them overcome what they feel they can’t do on their own.
The thing is, virtually any tool you use is only as effective as your belief in it.
If you don’t believe in something, it generally won’t work for you.
If you don’t believe in the Law of Attraction, for example, your belief will filter all facts and only find any evidence to support your belief.
If you DO believe in the Law of Attraction, by the same token, your belief will cause you to seek and find all the evidence to support THAT belief.
I have a medical doctor friend who says, “All of medicine is just the placebo effect.”
If you look close, you can see what is really at work here:
Belief.
Anyone taking an “Ambition Pill” in the 1800s got results or not due more to their belief than to the pill (which was obviously deadly).
There are even companies today selling pills as stated placebos.
They make no claim at all for their pills.
Honest Placebo Pills
They are simply selling inert pills — and openly telling you so — that you can take to support whatever intention you want.
Obviously, since the pill does nothing, and is made of virtually nothing, the only way it can help you is if you believe it can.
Belief.
There it is again.
Belief.
Knowing that belief is the operating element here ought to make you curious about how to change your limiting or negative beliefs.
You can change them on your own, of course, with hard work and ruthless honestly, but you’ll have much faster results, and an easier time of it, if you simply do one thing:
Get a trained coach.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
When I hired an expert coach, my life transformed.
That’s why I created Miracles Coaching® almost ten years ago.
It works.
And it can help you, too.
A Miracles Coach can help you see your own beliefs — which, because the beliefs are your “world” and control what you see, you can’t very easily find on your own.
A Miracles Coach can help you change, delete or erase a limiting belief, too, which you may not know how to do by yourself.
And a Miracles Coach can become your ally, friend, and accountability partner in your life adventure.
But I wouldn’t ask you to take just my word for the power of this coaching program.

Wow, an ambition pill that would kill you eventually? That’s saying something. I love how the mind works so favorably (and unfavorably alike) for us all.
As you always state, you get clear (by clearing out those counter intentions) then the mind will open its magic.
Opening the magic now. Breathe in. Breathe out.
hello dr joe,
i am going to isolate a sentence from your article and make a comment on it….( I have a medical doctor friend who says, “All of medicine is just the placebo effect.” )
i have learned a lot from you.. i know you read huge number of books . But , such statements, as the above, is false and i hope you do filter such ideas… when a person reads your articles with lots of interest and respect, statements such as these are…hmmm…. sad.
