THE VISIOn<br />

Don’t underestimate the power <strong>of</strong> inspired, soul-directed vision; it’s the most<br />

powerful resource <strong>you</strong> have access <strong>to</strong>. If <strong>you</strong> practice <strong>and</strong> refine <strong>you</strong>r ability <strong>to</strong> tune<br />

in <strong>to</strong> <strong>you</strong>r vision, “impossible” things can happen.<br />

During the time <strong>of</strong> my first practice, in my daily meditation at my home I received<br />

<strong>one</strong> <strong>of</strong> the strongest revelations <strong>of</strong> my life. I had an absolutely vivid, clear-as-crystal<br />

vision <strong>of</strong> my new <strong>of</strong>fice. It was in a building called the Transco Tower. In my vision, I<br />

s<strong>to</strong>od hundreds <strong>of</strong> feet in the air, looking out over the city. I saw the la<strong>you</strong>t <strong>of</strong> the<br />

rooms, saw the floor number (52), <strong>and</strong> heard a voice saying that this was my space.<br />

I’d just exp<strong>and</strong>ed, signed a lease, <strong>and</strong> spent a lot <strong>of</strong> m<strong>one</strong>y at my first <strong>of</strong>fice, so it<br />

seemed absurd <strong>to</strong> move. But I’ve learned over the years not <strong>to</strong> ignore inspiring<br />

messages like that. When the voice truly speaks <strong>to</strong> <strong>you</strong>, it’s wise <strong>to</strong> listen.<br />

That afternoon I went back <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong>ld the doc<strong>to</strong>rs working for me that they had until<br />

the end <strong>of</strong> the week <strong>to</strong> decide whether they wanted <strong>to</strong> buy my practice or I’d put it<br />

on the market. That was a Tuesday, <strong>and</strong> on Thursday morning I drove <strong>to</strong> the Transco<br />

Tower <strong>and</strong> spoke <strong>to</strong> the leasing agent.<br />

I said, “I’m a chiroprac<strong>to</strong>r, <strong>and</strong> I’d love <strong>to</strong> lease an <strong>of</strong>fice in <strong>you</strong>r building.”<br />

She said, “Well, I can tell <strong>you</strong> right now that’s not possible. All <strong>of</strong> our companies<br />

specialize in energy, oil, <strong>and</strong> m<strong>one</strong>y.”<br />

I responded, “Ma’am, I’m as slick as oil, I have unbelievable amounts <strong>of</strong> energy,<br />

<strong>and</strong> I’ve got lots <strong>of</strong> m<strong>one</strong>y. I’d fit right in here.”<br />

She looked at me sternly: “I don’t think <strong>you</strong> underst<strong>and</strong>, sir. There never have been<br />

<strong>and</strong> won’t be any doc<strong>to</strong>rs here. We don’t want the clinical liabilities. Unless <strong>you</strong> have<br />

an oil or energy company or are involved in banking, legalities, or investing, there’s<br />

no place available here.”<br />

“Well, if there were any spaces available, which floor would they be on?”<br />

“We’re almost fully occupied, except for a space on floor 52.”<br />

“Perfect,” I said. “You don’t mind if I just see it, do <strong>you</strong>? If I must start up another<br />

company just <strong>to</strong> fit in, then so be it. But <strong>you</strong> see, I had a vision about this place.” So I<br />

talked her in<strong>to</strong> taking me up <strong>to</strong> floor 52. I walked in <strong>and</strong> s<strong>to</strong>od in the corner <strong>of</strong> the<br />

building <strong>and</strong> looked out; I was up almost 600 feet looking out, <strong>and</strong> I couldn’t help it, I<br />

just started <strong>to</strong> cry. I’d never been in that building before, but I saw the exact view I’d<br />

seen in my head two days before. When <strong>you</strong> <strong>get</strong> pro<strong>of</strong> like that <strong>of</strong> a spiritual vision<br />

<strong>and</strong> powers beyond the normal world, <strong>you</strong>r heart just opens up.<br />

The leasing agent was st<strong>and</strong>ing over by the door in her impatience <strong>to</strong> <strong>get</strong> rid <strong>of</strong><br />

me, but when I turned around <strong>to</strong> face her <strong>and</strong> she saw the tears running down my<br />

face, she asked, “Are <strong>you</strong> okay?”<br />

Quietly I said, “This is my space. I saw this exact place in my head two days ago.<br />

I’m destined <strong>to</strong> be here, <strong>and</strong> I don’t think anything’s going <strong>to</strong> be able <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p it. My<br />
