The Awesome Power Of Taking Action I've always known how important it is to have
goals. And that once you have a written goal you must take some
action towards achieving it. I just didn't expect to have it
pointed out to me so graphically as the day I started to feel a
little less than confident about my car!

I'd better start at the beginning. For a while now, the car has
needed some work done on it. After all, it's isn't getting any
younger and I've been starting to feel a vague dissatisfaction
about it. One day, my wife and I were out for a drive. We'd just
been through a very bad time with our business and were
listening to something motivational on tape to buoy ourselves
up. This specific tape once again stressed that there are no
limits to what we can be, have or do if we just make the
decision.
No limits? REALLY? O.K. then, why not have a Mercedes! Since we
were out for a drive anyway, we took a small detour over to the
local Mercedes dealer. Oh boy! there were some great cars there!
A couple of older models really caught my eye and I could see
that we could indeed plan on owning a Mercedes some day, and who
knows - maybe sooner than we think! We drove home wondering how
to make it a reality.
The next morning we woke up to find that our car had been stolen
out of the apartment parking lot during the night. Our car gone?
This only happens to other people!
The insurance company paid for a rental car - and of course,
they didn't have a small one available and upgraded us to luxury
model - wonderful! Since our car was one that was a popular
choice for thieves our insurance company decide to wait only two
weeks before making a settlement - and it turned out to be an
excellent settlement due to a top-of-the-line paint job we'd had
done not too long ago.
We got our settlement on a Friday and on Saturday morning we
found the perfect car - newer, of a higher quality and in superb
condition! - which we were able to negotiate for the exact
settlement price. The following Thursday we took possession of
our new car and proudly drove it off the lot.
.And we knew without a doubt that THIS was our "Mercedes". We
had made our goal come true through desire and action!
The next evening we got a phone call from the local police -
they had found our stolen car!
