Predicting the Future

I have always loved this video. Here’s how to play along. (I’ll show you how Cosmic Wishing makes this even more potent).

First, look at 5 things/events you “wish” to happen over the next 5 years. Stop reading and take time to make your wishes before coming back. (If this was a video I’d say to “pause” the video.)

Then, think about what’s happened to you over the past 5 years. List 5 “Bad Things” and 5 “Good Things.”

Now, watch this video. Then, below let’s look at this phenomenon from the perspective of Cosmic Wishing.

Here are some interesting lessons from The Art & Science of Wishing:

• First, the thing that a lot of goal-setting and manifestation practices don’t usually include are what I call the Four Responses to a Wish and the nuances of each. They are: Yes, No, Wait, and Something Better.

• Now, go back to the things that happened to you over the past five years. Did you “wish” for any of those?

• And now, let’s consider the concept I call Reverse Optimism, which happens when you can look back at something “bad” and see that it might have led to something “good,” whether that’s a lesson, a different path, or a blessing in disguise.

I write more about the Four Responses and Reverse Optimism in the book, and I’ll write more in blog articles. (Especially if you’re reading this now and respond with questions!)

All of this shows us the immense impact of Cosmic Wishing.

Footnote: Dan Gilbert’s book, Stumbling on Happiness is one of my favorite books of all time. Highly recommended. https://www.amazon.com/Stumbling-Happiness-Daniel-Gilbert-ebook/
