    If I Only Had A Brain....
    By Dave Cole

    In the 1939 classic movie, The Wizard of Oz, we pick up the story as Dorothy Gale comes to a cross roads in the Yellow Brick Road.

    Hanging upon a pole is a scarecrow, and a talking scarecrow nonetheless.

    As the Scarecrow and Dorothy get to know each other, the Scarecrow goes into a song titled, "If I Only Had A Brain."

    Oh, what wonderful things the Scarecrow could do......If He Only Had........

    Now let's think about this for a minute. Here we have a talking scarecrow, and if you will notice, throughout the movie, the Scarecrow seems to be the one making a good many of the wise decisions for Dorothy and her band of travelers.

    But sometime in his past, he had been "programmed" by the Munchkin farmer to believe the Scarecrow was so dumb, he couldn't even scare crows away.

    Near the movies end, the Wizard of Oz presents the Scarecrow with a diploma. Immediately the Scarecrow spouts off some incredible mathematical formula proving to Dorothy and his friends, that he now has a brain.

    While we know that a piece of paper with some fancy writing on it does not automatically give us any kind of intelligence, what really did happen was that the Scarecrow now - BELIEVED - he had a brain.

    He had a voice of authority tell him so!

    All the old programming from the Munchkin farmer was no longer effective.

    The Scarecrow had now transcended his
    - OLD IMAGE OF HIMSELF -
    and discovered what was already there. He just hadn't realized how very intelligent he really...... really was to begin with.

    Now on the first day of this new year, I'm asking you to discover something about yourself. What Image have you painted for yourself?

    Who are you really?

    Is what you have become......who you really want yourself to be?

    Do you go around singing, "If I Only"........
    Had the money
    Had the time
    Was younger
    Was older
    Knew more people
    Had more experience
    Was smarter
    Had more people to like me
    Didn't have obligations

    You fill in the blanks.

    What have you programmed yourself to believe about yourself?

    You see, the Scarecrow - Wanted So Badly - to have a brain, but - All Along - he had the intelligence - In Him - to begin with.

    He finally became intelligent, when he stopped
    Wanting.....and Started Believing
    He Was Intelligent!

    The secret is not in Want-ing! The secret is in BE-ing!!

    One of the great commercials on TV says it all, "BE All That You Can Be."

    Is it time in your life to stop want-ing and start BE-ing the person you really want to be?

    Just as the Scarecrow, You already have whatever you need to become that person inside yourself. Have you been Programmed sometime in your past to believe you are not worthy of being that new person?

    Are you, like the Scarecrow, operating under false assumptions?

    If so, simply re-program yourself and like the Scarecrow quit singing "If I Only"..... and start SEEING yourself as the person you want to BE!

    The solution to all the Scarecrow's wants was there all the time, but wanting it didn't make it happen, and wanting it will not make it happen for you either.

    Upon presentation of a piece of paper, the Scarecrow - Chose To Be - intelligent. All the old programming was washed from his consciousness and he now went from want-ing .....to BE-ing.

    Prosperity Is A Choice!

    Choose prosperity for yourself
    Release those old images of yourself
    BE the kind of person you want to be

    The hidden success secret is discovered by each of us in that moment when we realize that ....... We already have the power within us to choose a different reality.
