One of my subscribers recently shared an experience that brought tears to my eyes. Her story shows the principles of prosperity in action. She writes:
“I got The Jackrabbit Factor for Christmas last year and read it to myself and then to my husband. He shared it with a friend and now they talk rabbit talk.
“My husband is a professor of Acoustics at BYU. We have 6 children, one just graduated and the youngest is 3. We have heavy student loans for all the years in school and our finances are worse than they have ever been. I have always stayed at home with the kids and have home schooled all of them up till high school. Anyway, I’m sure you didn’t need to hear all that but I finally got a copy of your Hidden Treasures: Heavenly Help with Money Matters before Thanksgiving.
“My husband is so swamped at work with all the many demands that BYU has and he is trying to decide on a business idea because we know that we can’t afford to stay there with out any other income. So he told me to read the book and learn it so well that I could teach him. So I read it once and then came to the question section. While he is in Hawaii at a conference, I stayed up late and pretty much reread the book and answered the questions. I think I finally get the rabbit book now.
“So yesterday I remembered that a radio station was giving away 4 tickets a day to the 10th caller when a certain song was played to the Trans Siberian Orchestra. My 16 year old is way in to music and wanted to go so badly but no way could we afford $50 tickets. So I decided to try the laws (I thought of the story about the ticket). I signed up to find the hour that the song would play and told my family I was going to win 4 tickets. I tried to visualize all day them saying I had won and how excited my son would be. I wrote down how grateful I was that we won and how we would feel. I even called my husband in Hawaii to tell him I was going to win and then I was going to get new blinds for our front window which has ugly lace curtains. He laughed and said OK!
“Well the song was to play between 4 and 5PM so I turned on the radio and my 13 year old was right there with me. I punched in the number on my 18 year olds’ cell phone and told her to call when I told her to (so we would have at least 2 chances). My excitement was growing and I did think “well I have tomorrow I could still win but it has to be today”. Of course they waited till 4:51PM to play it but when I heard it I called 3 times but the lines were all busy. My daughter came out of the bathroom and said mom it’s ringing. I grabbed the phone and went into the garage because all my kids were screaming by this time. I could hardly hear the guy as he said hello. I immediately screamed, “did I win,” and he told me I had. A roar went up from the house and I began dancing, yelling “It works, it really works.” I had to give him some information and I need to go pick up the tickets but we are going to the concert next Saturday!!!!
“My kids were all amazed. What are the chances that you actually get through, let alone be the 10th caller? The Lord worked his miracle and now I have greater faith and hope that we will prosper and that these business ideas my husband has will work. I am so excited to teach him. Oh, by the way, he was astonished that I won. (My curtains are coming down to make room for new blinds.)
“I can’t thank you enough… It is so clear now. I think I will teach this to my kids also, then my sister whose husband has given up on all hope of a better life. Thank you for following the promptings. I know you have been inspired on all this.
“My husband has been listening to Earl Nightingale for years and years. So when he heard you learned from Bob Proctor, who learned from Earl—He was ready to listen. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Thank you, dear reader, for taking the time to share this wonderful, inspiring story to show the principles of prosperity in action!!!!
Of all the principles of prosperity I teach, do you remember the Law of Polarity from “Hidden Treasures: Heaven’s Astonishing Help with Your Money Matters“?
When you are striving to accomplish something significant, and obstacles get in your way, don’t forget that the bigger the challenge, the better the reward can be on the other side of it.
Imagine my frustration when, as I tried to get Jackrabbit Factor published in 2005, I received letter after letter from publishers who weren’t interested. But there is one letter in particular that stood out from the rest, and which actually put me on a different path altogether for which, in hindsight, I am extremely grateful.
It has become “my favorite rejection” of all time.
Once in a while I’ll share the letter with an audience in a seminar, and for those who have read “The Jackrabbit Factor” it triggers an eruption of laughter. (For those who haven’t, there’s usually just a grin, as they wonder about what’s so funny…)
Had I not received that particular rejection letter, and continued on the same path in search of a publisher, the book would have taken much longer to hit the market. For some of you, it might be interesting to take a moment and think of how your life would have been different for you, had that been the case.
So, take a fresh look at your obstacles right now. By law, there is contained within them the potential for something phenomenal. What could it be?
Start looking for the upside of your challenges, and be grateful. It will put you in the right state of being to attract some incredible blessings. Continue to focus on the inconvenience of your obstacle, and you may miss the blessing altogether.
With all due respect for the publisher who rejected me, (for I hold no malice, only gratitude for the opportunity to try), I thought it might be inspirational to share the letter with you.
Why? To snub the publisher? No, and I hope none of my readers take it that way. It is to simply offer an alternative, positive perspective on rejections that you may face on the way to achieving your goals.
