If you believe in coincidences, superstition or any of that jazz – you’ll love today’s message. Read on.

Twas “Game of the Week” last night at Tropicana Field – and what a game it was.

For the first four innings it was basically a pitcher’s duel. Then, in the fourth inning I received a text message from a friend and client living in Pennsylvania. He asked if I was at the game. I told him I was.

He wanted to see proof so I told him to wait til my buddy, Carlos Pena, was up to bat.

At first he couldn’t see me so I walked right in front of the camera and “sent some love” as Pena smashed his 25th home run of the year, giving the Rays a 1-0, lead.

After several hi-5′s I went back to my seat. My friend texted me to say he had me captured on his DVR, looking right at Carlos as he smashed his home run. He then told me to “stay in my seat” the rest of the game as his Yankees need the Rays to lose. He said it was no coincidence that he clobbered the ball right when I had my back to him.

Ah, come on.

A nice stroke for the ego – but I ain’t buying it.

But then, two innings later, when the Rays were up to bat, my son, Frank demanded, “GET OUT OF YOUR SEAT, DADDY.”

So I got up again and Carl Crawford smashed a 2-run shot as I was looking at him.

Another round of Hi-5′s.

Another coincidence.

My friend in PA texted me, “I told you to stay in your seat.”

And today, Pete, another Yankees fan wrote me the following:

“Every time you left your seat the RAYS would score, the big three run rally happened right after we seen you walk down the ramp. Great game too, our game Saturday was the best though as the walk off Home run was special.”

All of this begs the question: Can you send someone positive energy with a glance, a stare, a breath – or even a thought and have the person do well?

I think so.

In fact, I teach so.

8 Days ago I taught a class on healing people remotely – something I thought I would NEVER, EVER teach. And the response was out of this world.

Yes, sending someone LOVE can have a positive effect. You can even heal by sending love. These things are scientifically validated.

Even so, remember this: The person you send LOVE to is still the one who
hits the HR’s – not you.

At the same time, never forget that everyone needs LOVE and encouragement and praise. No matter how big he is or how well he’s done in the past – in this present moment – he can use some.

Keep this in mind today in your home and office. And if you go to the ball field – send those players your best.

P.S. If the idea of remote healing is something you’d like to learn – let me know and I’ll consider creating a course on it. In the interim, you still need to lay the foundation with Zero Resistance Living – the advanced course in Psycho-Cybernetics.

Last night I was at the Rays v. Rangers ball game. It promised to be one of the greatest match-ups ever.

Two lefties: David Price and Cliff Lee.

What looked great on paper was even better in person.

Then Price, some 109 pitches into the game, lost his touch and had to be removed. Meanwhile, Lee looked like he’d go the full 9 innings, especially because he had only tossed 66 pitches through seven innings.

In the 8th inning I got up and headed to the back room to get a jump on the traffic. Also, I must admit, because the Rays were down 4-2 – and Lee looked unstoppable.

But in the previous Rangers at bat, Lee sat on the bench for 30 minutes as the Rays tried one pitcher after another, doing their best to keep the game close. So when Cliff Lee re-entered the game, even though he’d only thrown 66 pitches, something was totally off.

The Rays bats suddenly came alive and they worked him over like eggs in a blender. Next thing you know and the 4-2 Rangers lead was now a 6-4 Rays advantage.

What happened?

Lee’s arm went cold. He had too much rest.

There’s a saying, “Rest is rust.”

And there’s some truth to it.

In baseball, keeping a pitcher’s arm hot is crucial.

In life, keeping yourself hot is even more crucial.

Sometimes you need rest to regain your form. At other times you need to get off your duff and move, move, move. Wisdom is knowing which is which.

This past summer I rested my writing muscles for a little over two months. I’ve never done that before. For 15 years I’ve written everyday. I’ve also heard other writers claim that you should never rest.

At times I wondered if they were right. Would I lose my ‘mojo’ from the lack of putting words in print every single day?

Something inside told me that I’d be alright – that I’d come back stronger – and better.

That something was a mental image of myself as a writer. If I’d done it before, I can do it again.

Even big league pitchers have an off-season. They also rest three to four games after a start.

Sometimes their arm can go cold in a game. Likewise, after writing for an hour or so – your thoughts can get de-focused. When this happens, it’s time to change gears and do something else. It’s time to remove yourself from the game – and return the next day when you’re ready and rested.

Go for a walk. Do some stretching. Or practice Theatre of the Mind.

Anything that gets you back into your success grove.

Now that I’m back… and rested – I have some great updates to tell you about. They’ll be coming your way soon – so make sure you stay tuned.

Best,

“Where are you?”

“What are you doing?”

“I’m worried because I haven’t heard from you in a couple weeks.”

These are the comments I’ve recently received from regular readers of my emails.

Here’s my answer: I’m on a top secret mission. You might even call it a Vision Quest – only there’s no wrestling in this one.

Truth is I’m working on creating a result in my life that requires monumental focus and concentration. So much so that aside from the rigorous training I’m undergoing on a daily basis – all I want to do when I’m finished is stare at the walls or look out the windows. Not moving. Not doing anything.

Just looking, taking it in … and breathing.

It may be hard for you to fathom, but the Fure-cat can sit and stare straight ahead for long periods of time … and oddly enough, he’s happy when doing so.

He gains inner strength and power when he doesn’t appear to be doing anything but sitting… or standing… and focuses on nothing but breathing.

How can this be?

Long ago I read about the WAY of cats, wild or domestic. I was amazed when I read that your average cat spends the majority of its day meditating.

Just sitting. Looking straight ahead. Breathing. Doing nothing.

But when it’s time to hunt… look out. In spite of a cat’s so-called laziness, it still remains the greatest hunter that ever lived.

Not only that, but the cat is so relaxed and calm that if you toss it out of a high-rise, it’ll land safely on the ground with no injuries.

So this is confirmation that you can gain great power from stillness. As well as from physical, mental and spiritual relaxation.

Keep in mind that stillness often precedes an explosion. It’s true in the animal kingdom. It’s true with human beings as well.

Be still, gather your energy, resources and power – and watch as you have more juice to get what you want done, when you want it done.

It’s not often that I go a couple weeks without writing an email, a column, an article – or something that gets published. In the past, doing such a thing was unthinkable. But I assure you I’ve truly enjoyed not writing anything each day other than notes in my journal to track my progress.

Take a few minutes today to gather your resources. Sit in perfect stillness. No talking. No fidgeting. No moving. No reading. No TV and no radio. Oh, and no cell phone or any other device.

Just sit and watch your breathing.

Relax your body from head to toe as you do so.

Feel the energy build.

Then go hunting.

P.S. This new book I’m launching comes with 5 Bonuses that can be valued at over three grand. Go check it out NOW.

In the sport of baseball, there are many ways to score a run.

Listed below are three of the most common ways:

1. You hit a fair ball over the fence and trot around the bases (works every time).

2. You slide into home plate and beat the tag (doesn’t always work).

3. You knock the catcher over if he’s blocking the plate (doesn’t always work) and step on the plate.

Well, what to do if you’re half the catcher’s size – or just not very big – and he’s blocking the plate so well there might just as well be a brick wall up?

If you’re Fordham baseball player, Brian Kownacki, you refuse to see the catcher as an obstacle. Instead, you view him as a prop that you’re going to fly over. See what I mean here:

Tiger Woods returned to the game of golf this past weekend – and people who don’t normally watch the game tuned in to see him in action.

After more than four months of exile, ridicule and embarrassment, Woods put all that to the side and concentrated on hitting little balls into dark holes.

Now, I realize there are many who don’t like Tiger because of what he did off the golf course. In the eyes of many, he went from revered to repugnant almost overnight. Some who had nothing to do with anything the Tiger did – will never forgive him or let their mental image of him change, grow or go.

But this is also true for many on a personal level. Many people are unwilling to let the mental images they have of themselves change, grow or go. They cling to memories of the past – previous mistakes, previous bad experiences, previous failures.

They relive and regurgitate them on a daily basis – acting as their own cable news network. 24 hours a day of non-stop bad coverage about one self.

Even worse, though, the bad news has been playing for years – and in many, many cases – decades.

If you believe you can’t draw, sing, dance, play sports, write, speak, sell, market, communicate, concentrate and so on – these are mental images you have of yourself – and you condemn yourself, oftentimes, with insufficient evidence.

If one person told you that you couldn’t do something, did you replay this message over and over – or did you use it to prove him wrong?

Big difference.

And so, I believe instead of condoning or condemning the Tiger, we ought to pay more attention to the images we have of ourselves – and the results they are bringing in our lives. As we allow ourselves the space to change – the same goes for Tiger.

Instead of judging whether he’s sincere or not, leave him alone and focus on your self.

This is something I began learning to do as a young man growing up in a small midwestern town. and I’ve covered this in great detail in The Unbeatable Man – a book that will give you tremendous insight into your own life and help you make the changes you want to make, regardless of the odds, regardless of how many people are pulling against you.

When you’re reading The Unbeatable Man you’ll see how you, too, can make courageous and confident changes in how you live your life.

Regardless of past failures, mistakes or setbacks,  you’ll find a way to rise up and harness the unbeatable spirit that lies within you.

Go here and place your order NOW.

Competition is a good thing. A great thing. It brings out the best in a person. It shows a person where his true weaknesses are.

Yet, after a competition, there is an enormous danger. The person who loses may consider himself a failure.

It is one thing to say to yourself, ‘I didn’t do well today, but I’ll do better next time. I wasn’t myself today, but I’ll improve on this. I didn’t win today, but I’m still a winner inside.’

I realize it’s hard to do sometimes, especially if you really wanted to win – but it must be done for you to move to the next level.

The best athletes, salespeople, entrepreneurs and so on, don’t compete with others as much as they compete with themselves. Afterall, once you’re better than all your competitors, how can you continue to improve if your focus is simply about ‘beating the others.’

When I was in college my father told me to ‘make yourself your greatest opponent.’ He was right.

In order to do this you must go back in time and picture your best moments, your greatest successes. You must relive the feelings of confidence you once
experienced.

Doing so is the same as a good friend reminding you of your value; that you’re someone special. Only difference is that NOW you are being a friend to yourself. You’re going within and finding the BIG SELF who inherently knows that you came into this world to succeed.

I once knew a businessman who was very successful for more than ten years. Then the demand for his product died off and he had to close up shop. He thought of himself as a failure; that he was a loser.

I talked to the man and said, ‘My goodness, you had 10 years of success. I wouldn’t call that a failure. Close this shop and move on. Figure out a way to tap into another current trend and you’ll be off to the races again.’

He listened. And he succeeded once again.

There are great athletes who go undefeated until the ‘BIG SHOW.’ Then, if they lose the big show, they feel like total failures. But they’re not. They simply lost one game.

So long as these athletes gave it everything they had in that game, they can hold their heads high. And if they didn’t give it everything they had, they can declare that ‘next time will be different.’

Do as Dr. Maltz always says. Instead of trying to keep up with the Joneses and feeling badly when you’re not at their level – ‘keep up with yourself.’

Make yourself your greatest competition.

Want to get the most out of yourself. Then dig into Dr. Maltz Zero Resistance Living program. This 12-week course will change your life for the better. Loaded with exercises and drills that make your imagination mega powerful – build your confidence and create the life you’ve always wanted. Go NOW

P.S. Also, be sure to look into the Psycho-Cybernetics Super Human Success Group.

You’ve probably had the experience of time flying by. I’ll bet you can even remember a time in your life when hours seemed like minutes – if that long.

It’s amazing when time seems to distort like this, but did you know that there are other ways that you, through the conscious use of your mind, can change time.

It’s not accidental when it happens either. Nor is it coincidental.

Instead of thinking of “mind over matter” – consider the idea of “mind over time.” Think about being able to bend time into relative segments, none of which most would consider the norm.

Here are some examples of “mind over time:”

1. When an athlete gets into “the zone” he often has the experience of time slowing down – even when it’s going at regular speed.

2. Ted Williams, the last person to bat .400 in Major League Baseball, was able to see the threads on the ball as it was coming toward the plate at 95+ mph.

3. When two lovers are hot for each other – they can completely lose track of where several hours went.

4. You can nap, visualize or meditate for 20 minutes and have the experience of getting a full night’s rest.

5. And if the above isn’t wild enough for you, there are some martial artists who have had the experience of stopping time, of making it ‘stand still.’

When I was a competitive swimmer in my teens, I had an amazing experience take place while in the middle of a race.

I’d be about half-way across the pool in my first lap of the butterfly, swimming as hard as I could, and all of a sudden I’m hearing the lyrics from the Beattles’ hit “Yellow Submarine.”

As I heard the lyrics, “We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine,” my body relaxed further and deeper. I shot through the water even faster as I sang these words in my mind – but it was all slow motion to me.

Perhaps this experience helped me to be undefeated in this race for four-straight years.

The truth is, all of us have had moments of time distortion – but did you ever think that you could make it a regular daily practice, and that there are many benefits to doing so?

For example, most people live in a “there’s not enough time” world. And this puts them into a trance in which there’s never enough … “time.”

Imagine if you could use your mind to dictate whether or not you have enough time in your world – and that by simply proclaiming it so, it becomes that way.

I recall hearing a major media talk show host say that he would make time for exercise if God would make each day an hour longer.

Well, why not play god (with a smaller ‘g’) and make an extra hour by yourself? Why not open yourself to an extra hour being available each day – if you so choose?

Even write it into your daily planner.

2500 Hour: Walk for 60 minutes

Think I’m joking about this? Then try it and see what happens.

Time is relative to how YOU use your MIND.

Want more time in your life to do more? Then form mental pictures of time expanding or shrinking based on what you want to do.

A novel idea, me thinks. Give it a whirl and let me know how it works for you.

Matt Furey

P.S. To read more about Mind Over Time – be sure to pick up a copy of The Unbeatable Man.

How would you like to make a 30% improvement in your performance over the next day or two.

In fact, the improvement may not even take that long. It may take place in an instant.

Let me give you an example.

Last February I was asked by a coaching member to critique his online video. Along with others in the room, I sat through as much of his presentation
as I could without falling asleep.

When I hit the stop button I broke the news to the man that he looked and sounded like one of those brain-dead, dull and lifeless professors I had in college.

This got his attention.

Then I told him that when he and I have a normal conversation and he tells me a story, he looks and sounds completely different.

Why?

Because in one context he is natural and at ease. And in the other context he’s trying to be professional – or he’s trying to make an impression.

In one arena he simply imagines what he wants to say, then he says it. In the other, he ponders and ponders and adds angst to what would typically be a smooth delivery.

In one realm he uses his imagination in a positive and powerful way. In the other he imagines the worst and dredges it from the quagmire.

To “fix” this man I showed him a couple quick video clips of someone who spoke from the heart – and did so with natural-ease. Then I showed him his clip again – so he could see and experience the difference.

He sat in his chair taking copious notes about everything I said.

But note taking isn’t the key to success. It may be important – but action – especially immediate action, is where you demonstrate understanding.

So I got the man on his feet and had him give an impromptu speech on the same subject. I had him stand differently and breathe differently. I game him a new mental picture of what to focus on – and then I walked to the back of the room and gave him the queue to begin.

Within 20 seconds most in the room were misty-eyed listening to this man’s story – as well as SEEING how quickly he’d gone from awful to awesome.

The same thing happened last week with my son, in another context. He’d just gone through a bad day at the batting cages – and his pitching was off, too. When we got home it was already dusk – and I had a tele-seminar to give in less than an hour.

Even so, I spent time with my son, teaching him HOW to use his imagination in a positive and powerful way. I taught him how to breathe, how to relax
and what to picture.

Then I got into a catcher’s squat and had him throw some pitches. 16 out of 20 were straight across the plate.

The next day we went to a local park and I threw pitches to him. Using the same “power of imagination” tools I taught the night before, we focused on
my son’s batting. And he started clobbering the ball.

Now, for the next test. Can he do the same in a LIVE GAME.

Two nights later he was given the ball in the third inning and fourth innings of the game. He struck out four of the six outs.

Last night his coach gave me his stats. He went from throwing 40% strikes in previous games to 70%.

As for his hitting, he knocked his first home run of the season – a three-run shot – and hit an RBI double the next time up.

Not only was my son proud – but so was his father.

My friend, the power of your imagination is REAL. And each day, whether you realize it or not, you are using it to create your world.

Why not give yourself the ultimate edge in creating the type of life that you want. Follow my advice and you can count on improvements of 30% or more -
within days – or maybe even instantly.

The key to your success is getting coached by someone who knows how to get inside your mind and help bring out the best that lies within you.

Very soon I’ll be releasing a couple new products that will absolutely astound you. Stay tuned as you definitely will want to have them in your library – as well as in your mind.

Matt Furey

One of the reasons we love sports so much is because it’s one of the last models our society has left in which excellence above all others is rewarded.

It’s one of the few areas left in which it’s okay to stand out, to rise up, to earn more than your neighbor and be applauded for doing so.

We love seeing a team rise above the others and become champions. We love finding out who the MVP of the league is, who the most valuable player is, who won rookie of the year honors – and so on.

We also love to find out HOW the champion became who he or she is. How did this person train?  What did he learn along the way that helped him? Who did he learn from?

In many youth programs, however, children are no longer being rewarded for excellence. Instead of having a most valuable player, a best all-around and a most inspirational award – EVERYONE is given a trophy, whether he truly earned one or not.

Coaches tell kids that “having fun” is most important – that winning doesn’t matter.

Huh?

How about both?

Teach kids how to win. Teach them the importance of practicing to become excellent. Teach them how to use their creative imagination, to visualize, to set
goals, to study and practice every aspect of a game.

Teach kids to love the journey as well as the game. Teach them to accept victory with humility and class. And teach them to learn from failure and mistakes
with graciousness and patience.

But don’t tell them it’s only “for fun.” You aren’t fooling anyone with that line – especially the kids. Deep down they know that we keep score for a reason – and that awards aren’t supposed to go to everyone.

When I was a competitive swimmer, I won the MVP award two years in a row (age 12 and 13). The next year the coach discontinued the award, saying, “No one on our team is more valuable than anyone else. All of you are just as important as anyone else on the team.”

Theoretically she was right – but in reality, she didn’t want to give the trophy to me another time. Instead, she invented a new award for her younger sister, who was also on the team. I think it was the “I love my little sister award.”

I continued to compete in swimming three more years after the coach made this move. I won all but a couple races in that time span, breaking records all over the place. And at the end of the year, when the banquet was held, I applauded those who won awards.

I never received another award in the sport – despite my efforts – and that’s probably why I eventually lost interest. And that’s tragic when you consider that while in college – an assistant to the Iowa team timed me “just for fun” in the butterfly. Afterward he called me into his office and told me I had the potential to swim a 47 second 100-butterfly.

Outside his office the Big Ten records were posted on the wall. I looked and saw the following: 100-Fly – Mark Spitz, Indiana, 1971, 47:00.

Although I stuck with wrestling, the verbal reward from the Iowa coach remains with me to this day and I treasure it.

Yes, I’m all for giving every kid on the team a certificate – afterall, every member of the World Series Champions gets a ring – but there’s still an MVP trophy for the ultimate star – the player who stood above the rest.

I say have a bigger trophy and a separate award for the kids who did better than the rest. If it’s good enough for the big leagues, then it’s good enough for kids.

Make sports fun for kids – but emphasize that in the real world – winning is a whole lot more fun than losing.

Build your child’s self-image with sports. Teach him the value of practice. And regardless of whether your child is the MVP or not, you can show him how much he improved by using his mind and
his body in the right way.

Tell a child that it’s only “for fun” and he’ll never learn the value of practice and what can be accomplished because of it.

Sports are one of the last remaining metaphors that haven’t been collectivized with the “not everyone can be great so let’s punish the best among us and make everyone the same” ideology.

At least not at the professional or collegiate level. Heaven help us if that ever happens.

Best,

Matt Furey
