Meanwhile,the man who bought that farm found a large and “interesting looking” stone in a stream that ran through the property. He put the stone on his mantle where a visitor recognized the large stone as a rough diamond. It turned out to be the Hope Diamond,the largest such stone ever found.

That stream bed was littered with diamonds,and the new owner became fabulously wealthy. No doubt he also lived happily ever after. But doesn’t something in that story set strangely with you? What about the guy with the burning desire and the grand vision? He ended up disappointed and broke,dying far from his family and friends. Not a happy ending. Meanwhile,the guy who just wanted to do some farming got all the riches.

I’ve even said it myself,although I added the qualifier that the powerful desire is not so much for the Universe. It’s for you,to help you overcome and battle past your own doubts and resistances. But haven’t you seen people who seem to coast into good things,like the farmer who found the Hope Diamond? I’ve known people like that.
