Hi this is Mary Morrissey. Today I am
offering you an opportunity to explore deeper understanding
in a universal law that once understood and applied properly
absolutely accelerates your ability to have a dream or a goal
and bring it right into your life. The name for this law
is the Law of Proximity and the power of knowing about the Law of Proximity is it
works equally towards helping you
have your goal and have it quickly or pushing you away from your goal
and keep you from it. So understanding the Law of Proximity has to do with
how connected you really are to your dream
or your goal. How close are you to it? Do you stay in proximity in your mind? Do you stay in
proximity
in your emotions? Do you practice being the person who
is achieving this goal even when you don't see all the things in your life or
in the land of time and space
that are yet the goal that you're holding in mind or the dream you're
holding in your heart.
There was a man named Mark Dantonio
A college coach for Michigan State.
Michigan State had not been to the Rose Bowl
in 26 years. The spring before the next season
Mark Dantonio took his family, he's in California
and he decides wouldn't it just be amazing
if my team could actually get to the Rose Bowl. And so with his daughter he goes
over to Pasadena
and he gets inside the Rose Bowl. He said there were probably six people
in that stadium where tens of thousands of people would gather on January 1 2014
for the Rose Bowl. Now he knows the facts the facts are that his team hasn't been
there in twenty six years in 26 years before that they lost.
But it doesn't keep him from having his dream and invoking the Law of
Proximity to help him.
So he walks the grounds. He stands on the field were in his imagination
his team is playing in the Rose Bowl January 1 2014
It's May 2013 and then
at the last second after he's imagining it and feeling if he gets his daughter
to get out her cell phone camera
and make a video for him and he looks in the eye of the camera and he
talks to his team
and he films a short video saying I'm at the Rose Bowl. We can be at the Rose Bowl
together.
I really believe we can be at the Rose Bowl together. First time in 26 years.
Let's create that, I believe we can. He invoked the Law of Proximity for himself
and then he invoked the second part of the Law of Proximity which is he stayed close
to that goal. He thought about it every day.
Every day when he showed up to practice. It wasn't an ordinary practice. They were
practicing for the ultimate goal of
being at the Rose Bowl and he invoked the second part of the Law of Proximity which
is he shared that with others
that were interested in what he was interested in. So that
when the second part of the Law of Proximity is that you want to share your
goal you wanna hang out with you want to be close to you
people who have either done the thing you want to do or are
interested in the thing you want to do because there's a greater awareness there's a
greater ignition of the awareness in you to see opportunities
and make use of them that others will nearly trip over or not even see.
So hang out with people that are either interested in what you've done or have
done
what you have done and they can share insights and information with you.
So Mark Dantonio invoked the Law of Proximity
on a regular repeated basis. He stayed close to his goal.
You can do that. He got emotionally involved with his goal. You can do that.
He shared his goal with others. You can do that. He was also careful
not to hang out with people who disbelieved
who didn't have any interest in what he had interest in
and this doesn't mean you're going to get rid of all your friends but it does mean
that when you're really deeply interested in something you're gonna
make sure
that you don't hang out a lot with people who have not done what you're
interested in and have no
interest in it and in fact they tend to be naysayers and
doubters and they actually concede doubt in your mind and like all seeds that are
planted in soil
they tend to grow. So hang out with people who can believe with you. Hang out with
people who are interested with you.
Guess what. For the first time in 26 years on January 1
2014 Mark Dantonio and his team Michigan State marches into the Rose Bowl
to play that game. They were against the well favored Stanford University
but not that year did Stanford win. It was a Michigan State year.
It had been a Michigan State year from the moment he stood on the field
and that dream was alive in his heart and in his mind.
Before long just a few short months for the first time in 26 years
the whole nation watched Michigan State win the Rose Bowl.
So what is your Rose Bowl for your life this year?
Twice a year I gather a group of people for a live event
where I gather a group of people together who are dream builders.
A community of people many of whom come year after year we gather we
we support each other we network with each other.
These are all people who have made a decision to live a purpose-driven life
people who have a passion and a purpose for their lives.
We have an event coming up and all you need to do is click on the link below.
Check out the event. Come be with us. I would love to meet you in person.
So one last thing I would say to you. No matter what's going on in your life
there's a power that's breathing you. There's a power that's with you. There's a power that
called you into being.
That power is greater than anything that's going on around you.
And I know deep down I don't just believe I know
that the dream you have in your heart really can be the life you love living.
Have a great day!
