My father, brother, sister and me in London, England – right before our family moved to Canada. My mother is taking the picture.
When I was 6 years old, my family emigrated from London, England to Toronto, Canada and had to start all over again. This didn’t bother me one bit until a few years later when I got to an age where I would ask my parents for something that my friends had—such as name brand jeans, running shoes, or other items—and was repeatedly told: “you can’t have that”, “we can’t afford it”, “that’s too expensive”, “you want too much”, “you always want something”, “be grateful for whatever little you have”… etc., etc., etc.
Eventually, I got discouraged. I stopped asking for and dreaming about the things I wanted because I knew my parents couldn’t afford to give them to me. They were working hard, struggling, trying to establish themselves in a new country while maintaining a roof over the heads of my sister, brother and me. It was around this time that I stopped dreaming altogether…
Naturally, I began to turn my attention to my friends and the people around me who had the things I wanted. It wasn’t fair: why did they get everything they wanted while I was constantly told that I couldn’t have and didn’t need the things I wanted? Why did they get to be born into a family that gave them everything, while I was born into one that told me I had to constantly “do without” or “make do”? This made me mad. Somehow, I began to feel less important, less valuable than other people because I couldn’t have the things that they took for granted.
There had to be a reason why some people seemed to get what they wanted, while others seemed to be doomed to a life of misery, toil, and need. What was the difference? Was it all about luck? Was it about timing? Was it all about being good enough to actually deserve what you wanted? Was it about family or personal connections? Did you have to have some special talent or ability? Were you supposed to be religious? Did it have something to do with choosing the right job or profession? Or… was there something actually wrong with me? Ever since I can remember, I was literally obsessed with this quest. There had to be an answer and I was determined to find it. And when I did, my dream was to broadcast it to the world. Lucky for me, I didn’t have to wait too long to find out.
“IT” Reveals Itself To Me
Book by J.D. Fitzgerald that made me believe in The Law Of Attraction when I was in grade six.
One day, my grade 6 class was asked to select a book from the school library and write a book report on it. I happened upon a book called “Me and My Little Brain” by John D. Fitzgerald. This book changed the course of my life. The book was about a young boy named J.D. who lived in the late 1800s in the mid west of the United States. J.D. had an older brother named Tom (a.k.a. “The Great Brain”). The Great Brain was constantly swindling his younger brother J.D. – and just about everyone else in their small town.
Naturally, when Tom goes away to school in another city, J.D. decides that he is going to use his “Little Brain” to pick up where his older brother left off. J.D. discovers that “…a person’s subconscious mind was a hundred times smarter than his conscious mind” and “…if a person just thinks about a problem before going to sleep, the subconscious mind would solve the problem while the person was asleep” and “…when you woke up in the morning the answer would be in your conscious mind.”
Really? You could actually talk to your brain and IT would answer you back?! This blew my mind; I had to test it out for myself – and it worked! To discover what happened next, please watch the following video:
