100 dollars!

A personal development teacher shows his students a hundred-dollar bill. He explains that one of them will leave the class with the bill if he or she asks the right question.

Hands shoot up and questions are fired: “How can I get it?” “What is the right question?” … the teacher continues shaking his head.

A student at the back of the classroom smiles, raises his hand and asks confidently: “What exactly are you doing with my hundred-dollar bill?” The teacher walks to the back of the room and gives him the bill. Why? Because the student had adopted the attitude that the bill already belonged to him!

Visualising your dream job, smelling the ink on the contract, hearing the praise for your work are all ways of asserting ownership of your future.

What about you? What would you like to lay claim to at the moment?
