It takes work...but you can achieve things you didn't seem possible. 30 years ago a doctor told me I had a kidney stone way to large to pass. If I believed that, I would never have passed the stone. That was a negative, maybe true but still a negative. I was a couple years into meditation and would use it in different situations. Never hurts. Several days later I passed that monster stone and took it to the doctor in a zip lock bag. He told me that was impossible, to his science, maybe. Positive thinking made it happen. Tell yourself yes...and it can happen. Give God some thanks also. Remember meditation is pure concentration. Mikey likes it!
