DOOR WILL OPEN

          HERE'S ANOTHER MIRACULOUS FEATURE OF THE POWER OF COMMITMENT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW AT THE OUTSET HOW TO ACHEIVE YOUR GOAL. SURE YOU WILL BE BETTER OFF IF YOU HAVE A PLAN OF ATTACK, BUT ITS NOT ESSENTIAL THAT EVERY STEP BE MAPPED OUT IN ADVANCE.

          IN FACT, WHEN YOU HAVE THE WILLINGNESS TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES, THE RIGHT STEPS ARE OFTEN SUDDENLY REVEALED TO YOU. YOU WILL MEET PEOPLE YOU NEVER COULD HAVE PLANNED TO MEET. DOORS WILL UNEXPECTEDLY OPEN FOR YOU. IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE LUCK OR GOOD FORTUNE IS SMILING ON YOU, IN TRUTH, YOU WILL HAVE CREATED THESE POSITIVE EVENTS BY MAKING A COMMITMENT AND THUS INSTRUCTING YOUR MIND TO LOOK FOR THEM.HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF HOW A DOOR UNEXPECTED OPENED FOR ME, IN 1989, I STARTED WRITING MOTIVATIONAL ARTICLES. I'D LEARNED ABOUT THE POWER OF A POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND THE OTHER SUCCESS PRINCIPLES, AND I WAS COMMITTED TO SHARING THIS INFORMATION WITH OTHERS WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM IT. BUT I HAD NO IDEA WHERE TO START. DO I SEND MY ARTICLES TO NEWSPAPERS. SUBMIT THEM TO MAGAZINES... WRITE MY OWN BOOK?

        THE FIRST THING I DID WAS SUBMIT AN ARTICLE TO A LOCAL NEWSLETTER FOR PEOPLE INVOLVED IN TRAINING AND HUMAN RESOURCES. THAT ARTICLES WAS PRINTED IN THE SUMMER OF 1990. A FEW MONTHS LATER, I GOT A WRITER WHO ALSO WORKED WITH BUSINESS TO PRODUCE NEWSLETTERS. STUART SAID HE SEEN MY ARTICLES WHILE VISITING THE HOME OF HIS BEST FRIEND AND WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH IT.
