Last night i was busy writing my book when i suddenly developed a block. Not on what to write but how to best present the information. I got really stumped and eventually decided to go to bed. Just before i went to bed i said loudly "Universe give me a sign, tell me what i should do." I went off to sleep and as usual could not remember any dreams when i woke up. But whilst showering and shaving did have some good ideas. This is a good time for me for ideas in the morning!

Later i went to Waterstones in Basildon, Essex, and was just browsing through the books, when a voice called out to me. "Do you need any help? I turned to face the female assistant who had asked that question, and replied with a mischevious grin on my face, "No why would i when i am at the self-help section," as i pointed to the sign above my head.

Oh! she said "What kind of self-help are you interested in? I told her that i was a self-help writer and all about my book "New Model Thinking," and directed her to a number of good websites on the net, which also included Zig Zigler videos on YouTube.
She was very interested in my book and told me some of her journey after falling ill last year.
I told her about a part of my book that shows how strangers can cross our path, even fleetingly and impart a message or lesson that can show us how to change direction on our life journey, but that the majority of people are so overwhelmed with trying to cope with the stressful lives they are leading that they fail to act on that message or lesson.
I told her that it is always a two way thing and explained that just as i have given her a lot of new information that i hoped she would act upon. So she too has given me new enthusiasm to express my ideas in my book in such a way as to be very interesting to all who want to learn such was the enthusiasm i could guage from her words and body language.
I walked away from that brief meeting feeling very elated and enlightened and realised that my cry for help to the universe had been answered. Such is the power of Karma if you will just commit to live by it's principles.
