The power of thought

When you want something really bad, the entire universe conspires for you to make it happen.
By the power of my will, I will make this happen.
Words from the Alchemist and Autobiography of a Yogi ring in my mind the entire day today. And I have been saying to myself that by the power of my will, it will happen. Don't know why this conviction has come today. It has never been so so powerful. Don't know how to thank my closest dearest friend for pointing out this to me. It is an experience to absorb and reflect upon. How can I make things happen for me. This is a test of my conviction. I dont know about the result yet. But what I have thought about and been telling myself the entire day must have a connection to why now. I am writing this to reflect on this.
When I am not totally convinced about something, the mind starts playing its games. Looks at the negatives and the positives and will only show you how things cannot happen. Murphys laws were made by a pessimistic mind only. This same mind needed almost a month of drilling and beating. When I was told to accept defeat as a part of myself, it just got so so clear in my mind. The ego was not accepting that I could not succeed. Once I accepted the defeat, the ego just crash landed. When there is nothing between the conviction and the mind (in this case the ego was the hindrance) the conviction is now so powerful that nothing can stop it. This by itself is a deep learning for my future. I will be defeated and down a lot more times. How to tackle it will be the key. Accept that yes, I also can have shortcomings, I also can be on the wrong side, I also can be unsuccessful - but only once I accept it and absorb that its possible to me, that the ego will disappear. Otherwise all the time it will keep probing - How can I lose or be on the wrong. This acceptance is very very important. You need to be aware of it at every stage of your life. Let us not deviate from the real goal of happiness. Other than creating reasons to feel sad, lets look at removing the obstacles of being happy always.
It will be proved in time if you really really want something, the entire world will conspire to make it happen. As SS keeps saying - Make it happen. The power of the mind will make it happen, only if the mind is free of any ego or pride. Let it go and success is only in the waiting.
