Introduction
Eight years ago, I was handed a newspaper article by a friend who I was meeting for coffee. It featured the story of a man who had started life as a taxi driver but who had – through a remarkable career – become the personal manager and close friend to one of the world’s most recognised and influential sporting celebrities.
He then said something that surprised me.
You need to meet this guy!
he told me excitedly.
Why and how would we ever meet?
I replied.
I don’t know. I just get the feeling you need to meet this guy,
he replied in all seriousness.
Without giving it too much thought, I moved the conversation on. The idea seemed a little farfetched. At the time the man in question lived in another country and worked in another world entirely different to the conventional world of banking in which I found myself at the time. It seemed crazy to entertain any notion that the two of us would ever meet. But here’s the craziest part of it all, four years later we did meet and over time it became increasingly apparent that we needed to meet.
So what brought us together?
I will reveal the remarkable sequence of events later in the book. However, this book is not about my story. Nor that of the man in the article, for that is his terrific story to tell. It is about the life-affirming path that unfolds when you make the definite decision to follow your heart; the decision to pursue the work in life that will allow you to thrive and become whom you really desire to be. That process is revealed in every page of this book.
In writing this book, I hope to bring the magic of life to your attention once more and to open your eyes to the uplifting possibility that some great orchestrating power is actively working from behind the scenes for yours and everybody else’s highest good.
As you’ll discover, when you pursue your most heartfelt dream in life and you have the courage to take the many big leaps of faith that this path demands, life becomes attuned to your heartfelt desire. Signs appear to point you in a certain direction and favourable situations – frequently unforeseen and unexpected – occur just when they are needed and often when you are hard pushed by a difficult set of circumstances that have besieged you. It is then that the right people and right opportunities converge on your path with such timely precision that it appears as if the magic of life has contrived a Way to make what you most desire, or desperately require, to happen.
As I’ll share later, I do not use the term ‘magic’ lightly in this book. I use it to refer to the definite possibility that there is a greater power that resides within you, which is a tremendous force for good; and which can somehow transcend space and time and attract all you need to make your Way through life.
I believe it does not matter how you refer to this power. Whether you believe it is spiritual, mental, emotional, or physical in origin is immaterial. Whether you call it God, Providence, personal magnetism, or the power of attraction does not make a difference. What is important is that you consciously use this great power to transform yourself and the life you live.
I believe you can invoke this power when you follow your heart and pursue the Way to get ahead in life that matters the most to you. This is the path that is revealed by your heart that guides you to the career or calling through which you will thrive. In time – after much testing of your belief – it leads to
