Maybe you scheme to do things pleasant and pleasing for other people without their finding out who did it. Maybe you become a merry band of secret scouts throwing grin grenades when no one expects it.

When you and your merry band put your minds together -- conspire -- to make your world a more joyful place for today, there will be no stopping imaginative ideas. Remember power in breathing together for a purpose. Come together in harmony in your superb purpose, like wind and pine tree.

And today . . .

Gather up your team -- it need be no more than a dynamic duo of two -- and conspire, inspire, aspire. Devise a delight-filled scheme for those around you and put it into action. You will have grandest of conspiracies. Make today a truly con-spiritual day. Have fun, you creative co-conspirators.

Okay...so maybe a thousand is stretching it a bit. The point is, you want to watch your video as often as possible. It doesn't have to take long. Perhaps a minute or so. And believe me results can be astonishing.

YOUR VIDEO IS BOTH BIBLICAL & SCIENTIFIC.

Remember what Jesus told woman with issue of blood. "Your faith has made you well." (Mark 5:34) Notice, he did not heal her. Her faith was healing factor.

Where did this faith come from? Her mental video! (Don't turn me off because I'm going high-tech. Mental videos have been around since Garden. They just masquerade under different names.)

What was woman's video. She saw herself running up to Jesus, touching his robe and being instantly healed. She saw. She knew. And may well have played her video a thousand times before Jesus actually arrived.

SCIENCE PLAYS THE VIDEO GAME WITH SUGAR PILLS.

It's called The Placebo Effect. Researchers give people a sugar pill and tell them it's a new wonder drug. Absolutely guaranteed to cure their 'whatever'. The receivers believe it. They see it. They swallow it. And guess what? Often their 'whatever' symptoms disappear.

Of course, when research project ends and they learn truth, so also ends their cure. This has happened so often it's commonplace.

Yes...the videos you play in your mind can make you sick. But if they can make you sick, they can also make you well. And that goes for almost any negative condition you are experiencing.

To change these negatives you write a new script. Then produce a video. On video play hero. Experience victory. Through persistence your video will become reality.

SKEPTICAL? GIVE IT A TRY.

Produce your video. Keep it simple and focused on only one problem.

Play it at least five times a day for 21 days. Why 21? Because that seems to be magical number for establishing a new habit. And that's what you're doing. You're creating a new habit of thought which produces faith.

Try it. I double dare you. The only thing you have to lose is some negative 'whatevers' that are probably mucking up your life.
