Henry Ford once said, “If you think you can, you will…if you think you can’t, you won’t.” There is deep value in these words of wisdom . How many times have you asked, “What if?” We always seem to ask that question after we have already given up before we even start something new.

There have been many an individual who gave up on living, and subsequently died. Not because they wanted to die, but because they stopped living. One can literally “will” himself toward sometimes incredible changes – both negative and positive.

There once was a gentleman who constantly worried. One day, he incessantly worried about the ice in a parking lot. “Be careful,” he said, “you’ll fall and break your ribs.” Individuals should exercise caution, but he took it to extremes. Over and over, he repeated how one would not only fall but that they would break their ribs as well. Guess what? He, himself, took a tumble and broke two of his ribs on the ice. Inadvertently, he had “willed” this on himself.

Another case is an individual who wanted to make quick cash. He didn’t care how he got it, just that he wanted it. He even went so far as to saying, “I wish someone would pull out and hit me,” speaking in regards to a car accident, where he could make fast cash. One day, he was involved in a car accident that nearly took his life. You see, when we arbitrarily “wish” for something, we must be careful for what we are wishing. You never know what you’re going to get. So, choose your wills and wishes carefully.

A great example of the human “will” or spirit is in the case of Ludwig van Beethoven. Did you know that Beethoven began losing his hearing in his early 20s? Now, most individuals might believe that this incidence would be tragic to a great musical composer. Instead, Beethoven’s will was so strong that not only did he continue to produce well-known masterpieces, but he created them when he was entirely deaf.

Then there are other cases, still, where human beings have overcome unbelievable tragedy through the determination of the human spirit and will. Like Henry Ford said, “If you believe you can, you will…If you believe you can’t, you won’t.” It’s all relative.

To create the change you want to become , you must first believe it. You must have faith in your Divine intuition and always choose your wishes accordingly. If you want to own a home, you must believe that you are capable of owning it. When you do, you begin to work harder to achieve this goal, and acquiring your home is not so far out of reach. If you want to land a good-paying job, you must believe that you are capable of attaining it. Once you do, your step is a bit livelier, your communication skills are fine-tuned, and your presence is positively unbeatable. Remember, however, change doesn’t happen overnight. It’s something at which you must work. When you finally realize that creating the change you want to become is necessary, your Divine intuition embraces your will and the human spirit within you begins to follow your destiny’s roadmap to success, wellness and happiness.
