And left a legacy.
How Faith Actually DID Move Mountains
I started watching a documentary called ‘The Men Who Built America’ this week, seeing how I feel closely connected to our friends and clients across the Pond.
Did you know that John D. Rockefeller, once the richest, most powerful, and most influential man in the whole of the United States, perhaps even the world, gained his incomparable belief in his own destiny by narrowly missing a train that derailed and killed everyone in the carriage he was due to sit in?
Nope, me neither.
This story got me thinking about the determining factors shaping our lives, like the events that happen outside of our control, and then our reaction to these events we consciously (and unconsciously) take.
While most of us haven’t had a death-defying experience like Rockefeller’s – most would agree to have been affected at least in some way by the winds of fate.
Ultimately, our lives are the result of both serendipity and the sum total of our thoughts and decisions made from moment to moment.
In Rockefeller’s case, instead of suffering “survivor’s guilt,” the incident created a total belief within him that he had a huge destiny to fulfill.
Prior to this event, he was a struggling businessman on the verge of bankruptcy. After the tragedy, he went on to form Standard Oil and gave billions away to philanthropic causes.
At one point in his story, when being ransomed by the railroads, he decided to lay thousands of miles of pipelines across the country instead of relying on the trains to transport his oil stock, literally moving mountains to do it.
Faith can indeed move mountains…
At Success Formula Club, we like to take our clients on a trip into the future and show them what’s possible.
After all, we’re ‘selling futures, not features’.
Dr. Susie calls this ‘the possible self’ in psychology. What can you imagine tomorrow will be like? Can you believe it to be so? Is it the positive possible self or the negative possible self?
What would it take to make your own miracle happen, despite the winds of fate blowing you off course?
A sign? If you’ve been looking for one, this is it.
So have a great week, whatever disasters await. And as a result, let it power that self-belief that greatness is in store... and then love loads and pass it on.
