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:

“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.

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.

PS — If you are sitting there wondering if you
should sign up right now or not, then you already
know that you want to sign up right now. The only
thing holding you back is a decision. I say take
the leap and see how a single decision can change
your life for the better right now. Just do it.

Wait Broke the Wagon
Life is short.
Nothing reminds me of this more than spending
time with my 88-year-old father and dying
mother these days, and it’s fresh on my mind
after visiting them this past week.
While I was there, dad used a phrase he’s
repeated to me many times over the years,
“Wait’s what broke the wagon down,”
which translates into, “Take action now or
lose the energy of the moment.”
While I suspect the pioneers of the west coined it,
my research couldn’t pin down exactly where this
particular saying originated. Interestingly, though,
I did discover that Orville Couch used it as the
title of a song he wrote and sang.
If you’re a rockabilly aficionado like me, you might
recognize his name. He was an old country musician
who played back in the days of the Big D Jamboree,
a precursor to the Grand Ole Opry.
Of course, his song is about waiting around for a girl
to love him. (What else would we expect from a good
ol’ country song, right?)
All joking aside, waiting around for anything isn’t
a good idea. In fact, it actually becomes part of
the problem by temporarily stopping the flow of good
things into your life.
Why?
Because withholding yourself from life is like holding
your breath – except in this case you’re holding your
action back.
And, just like you have to release your breath to get
another one, you have to release your action to take
another step.
Now I’m not talking about timing here. Yes, there is
such a thing, but as Terri Cole-Whitaker once said,
“You have to act as if there is no timing.”
The beauty of all this is that when you’re tapped
into your Divine connection in such a way that you
know what to do – what inspired action to take –
there really is no timing. You’re in the flow and
moving in accordance with it.
Life is good.
Waiting, though…that’s something entirely different.
This notion of waiting – waiting for the right
circumstances, the right person, the right moment,
the right amount of money, the right job – operates
like a subtle and covert co-dependency: You’re waiting
for something out there to happen or to be different
in order to do something you want to do.
But its impact on your life is about as subtle as a
stealth missile – it can devastate your financial
well-being, inner peace, confidence, self-esteem,
and relationships.
To be clear, waiting is an action, a signal to the
universe that you’re not ready for what you want.
There’s only one way out of this kind of predicament.
You’ve got to stop putting up with things and decide
you’re not going to live a certain way any longer –
and then act on it by putting yourself on a direct path
of transformation. (If you’re serious, I want to meet
you personally in Austin this November at my event.)
Stop waiting around …
You don’t have to wait to see if the government’s going
to shut down again.
You don’t have to wait to see if you’re going to get
laid off.
You don’t have to wait to see what the stock markets do.
Economic certainty is not out there. You’re never going
to “find” it.
You can only create it.
But first, you have to stop waiting.
Like the pioneers with their wagons, you have to drop
some baggage and travel lighter.
Stop waiting.
Your time is now.
As my father would say, “Wait broke the wagon.”
