Imagine you could think your way out of bullshit.

The headline of this story is from writer Alex Mathers who says,

Many if not all of our struggles are not due to the actual reality of an experience, but to how we think of that experience.

Sounds like hogwash at first. This story could be the seed to the change in your thinking if you’re not a believer in the power of thoughts like me.

The Supernatural Power of Thought

In 1986 a man entered a triathlon race. During the bicycle riding leg of the race he describes having “the privilege of being run over by an SUV.” What luck, huh? Most of us would see it as a nightmare.

The red Bronco truck slammed into the back of his bike, catapulting him sky-high into the air. The landing wasn’t so birdlike. With the full force of gravity he landed square on his backside. Ouch!

The Bronco was still heading right for him. He grabbed the bumper of the truck to avoid being run over. While holding onto the bumper he was dragged down the road for a bit until the elderly driver figured out what had occurred.
