What Does This Quote Suggest?

The quote suggests that some people (unfortunately, I believe it is all too many people) are unconscious of two of the most beautiful things in the world; the fantastic and the unexpected. It then suggests that perhaps the most perfect example of how things are always changing is to just look at real life examples.

In other words, if you will simply open your eyes, you will see the fantastic and the unexpected all around you.

The more closely you observe the fantastic and the unexpected, the more you will begin to see the beauty and the power that comes from them.

What Do I Mean By Fantastic?

I mean this. If you position yourself to be fantastic, you will allow remarkable things to happen in your life and in the lives of those around you.

If you will simply open up your imagination; open yourself up to the possibility that remarkable things can and often do happen, you will begin to attract remarkable things into your life.

BUT, you have to open yourself up.

In order to help open yourself up, you may want to refer to some of the previous laws:

Law #1 - Position Yourself To Be Alive

After all, if you’re not even acting as if you’re alive and enjoying yourself, you’ll certainly find it a lot harder to do anything fantastic.

Law #5 - Position Yourself To Be Beautiful

Just go back to the quote. The fantastic and the unexpected are two of the unparalleled beauties in the world.

Law #6 - Position Yourself To Be A Believer

You have to believe in yourself and others before you can believe in the fantastic.

Law #14 - Position Yourself To Be Conscious

The quote suggests that some people are unaware of the beauty in the fantastic and the unexpected. By being conscious, you will not be one of them.

Law #25 - Position Yourself To Be A Dreamer

Having big dreams is part of what it takes to accomplish the fantastic. Dream big and dream often.

Law #31 - Position Yourself To Be Enthusiastic

Enthusiasm is a key behind almost everything. You must be enthusiastic if you are going to achieve the fantastic.

The Fantastic Complements The Unexpected

Fantastic things do NOT always take us by surprise, but they often do.

Unexpected things are NOT always fantastic, but often they are.

For example, when I woke up at 2:00 AM one night in August 2007, I awoke with a fantastic idea; the idea to do a 2 month nationwide driving tour that has led to my soon to be released third book, Achievement IQ Moments.

The fact that I came up with a fantastic idea did NOT surprise me.  I expected that I would come up with an idea, I just didn’t know when.  HOWEVER, if you would have gone back just a few months earlier to March 2007 when I started putting the Achievement IQ movement together, I would have had absolutely no clue whatsoever as to the twists and turns I have since taken.

In other words, coming up with the fantastic idea was expected.  The nature and shape of the fantastic idea was unexpected.

BUT, because I was open to the fantastic, because I was open to the unexpected, I am now in the process of accomplishing my wildest dreams.

THAT is the power of the fantastic and the unexpected.
