Mum and I got home the other day and our little neighbour dashed up to chat to me. She\u2019s such a cute kid and always has funny things to say.<\/p>\n

That particular day I noticed that her toe was all smooshed.<\/p>\n

\u201cKhanyi\u201d I exclaimed, \u201cWhatever did you do to your toe?\u201d<\/p>\n

She shrugged and answered that she had fallen and hurt it. I told her that she should be more careful with her little toes in future \u2013 they were not big enough to mess with.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I\u2019m always unlucky!\u201d she sighed. \u201cI am forever falling and hurting myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mum and I looked at each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cNoooo\u2026. You can\u2019t say things like that! You have to think of yourself as being a lucky girl. If you think about being unlucky then that just attracts bad luck. Tomorrow you are going to have a good luck day. No more bad luck!\u201d<\/p>\n

But she just shrugged and said\u2026 \u201cI\u2019ll try \u2013 but I\u2019ll probably have another bad luck day.\u201d<\/p>\n

We went inside and I felt sad that she is so little and yet she already has such a negative attitude.<\/p>\n

Dad is always telling us about the law of attraction. Our minds are the most powerful things that we have. If we decide that we are going to have a good day \u2013 then we probably will.<\/p>\n

But you, yourself, really have to believe this one hundred percent.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t think in wishy-washy terms. You have to tell yourself that you are going to have a good day. Then you have to envision having a good day. The power of thought!<\/p>\n

Of course, in my case it\u2019s pretty simple. I envision eating a nice cold ice-cream at school. Then I take some of my pocket money to school and buy one. It\u2019s a simple as that. The ice-cream man is there, the weather is good for eating ice-cream and I don\u2019t lose my money. Everything works.<\/p>\n

Or I see my maths paper in my mind\u2019s eye with a nice big A+ on it. Or course I know that I\u2019d put in a lot of work beforehand and could reasonably expect an A+.<\/p>\n

Nothing worth having ever comes free or easy. We probably would not appreciate it if it did.<\/p>\n

And on the odd occasions when you do fail, you have to pick yourself up, dust yourself down and try again.<\/p>\n

Hope you all have a simply fabulous day! (Go on – imagine yourself having a fabulous day.)<\/p>\n
