There are many different "schools of thought" on this subject. In the context of accomplishment and self-esteem, one needs to at least believe on some level that what is being attempted is possible in the first place. Many times people ask me if anyone can be a magician. Of course the answer is "no". Not everyone can be a Classical Pianist, or the President of the United States for that matter. However, I would say that almost everyone can perform some kind of sleight of hand; a card trick, or simple coin manipulation. This topic is important because it raises the issue of realistic endeavors and goals, as well as seeing that quite often we can surpass what we think is possible. As with Awareness, how we see ourselves and what we believe to be possible has a great deal to do with the outcome. Here we also discuss FOCUS and discipline. Also, as mentioned previously, Imagination plays a large part, as seeing ourselves doing something is an important step in the process of bringing something into reality. If I want to do a good job in a magic performance, it helps to visualize myself in front of an audience, with the audience responding and enjoying what I am sharing with them.

 

The attitude associated with this key is Determination. You must be determined in order to accomplish your goal, which means to have what is called perseverance, or steadfastness. Winston Churchill once gave a speech to a graduating class that literally was this: "Never, never, never, never, never give up!"

The most obvious illustration is in sports, and of course we are all familiar with the term Goal in sports. If the goal is to win the game, then what is required is to play better than the other team. In our personal endeavors, we have to stay with it, and 'never give up' if we want to really make it 'to the top'...
