the power of thoughts

This is a true story. I only changed the persons name and a few minor
details to protect her privacy, with regards to her family.

I named this tragic story “Negative thoughts And obsessive thoughts
are deadly combos” for a reason that will soon become apparent.

I met Carly when she was twenty-six years old. She was pretty,
full of life, generous with both her time and money, and fun to
be around. We spent a lot of time together. She taught me how to
play pool and ride a motorcycle. You can imagine how surprised I
was when she turned to me during a party a group of her friends
and I threw, to celebrate her twenty-seventh birthday and said: “I
have only two more birthdays to celebrate before I die, I better
enjoy myself fully tonight.” What are you talking about? Go easy
on the booze? You are loosing it? Why would you say or even think
something like that?” I asked her.

“I don’t know why. I just know that I think about this all the
time. I am obsessed by that thought. Actually I am absolutely
certain that I will be dead before I turn thirty. This is one of
the reasons I am so much fun to be around. I have no worries,
I just want to enjoy myself fully before I go. I don’t want to
have any regrets.”

“Carly! You need to stop thinking like that. This is very
dangerous. Your thoughts create your reality. Negative thoughts
And obsessive thoughts are deadly combos. If you keep repeating
over and over again that you will be dead before thirty you are
creating a powerful, emotionally charged picture in your mind
that could eventually attract your own death.”

My advice fell on deaf ears. From that day, every time I saw
Carly I was shocked that she continued to share this information
with all her friends. Although most of her other friends did not
believe in the power of thoughts, I still begged them not to
encourage her to talk about her early death. I cautioned her
again and again but she would laugh it off or just plain ignore
me. I even threatened to stop seeing her if she did not give up
this crazy notion that she would die an early death. She promised
not to talk to me about this again and we remained friends.

I moved to Toronto six months before Carly’s thirtieth birthday.
We spoke every weekend and we saw each other three times during
that period. Two days before Carly’s thirtieth birthday she called
me and told me that she would be coming to Toronto the following
weekend, to celebrate her belated birthday with me. I was very
excited about her coming to Toronto to celebrate her birthday. I
was hoping that she would stop talking and thinking about her death
since she had reach thirty and she was still alive. The next evening
around nine pm, another close friend of Carly’s called me to inform
me that Carly was killed in front of her apartment building at seven
thirty by a tractor trailer. The driver had lost control of the truck he
was driving and he rammed into Carly’s car. She died instantly.

Although I was very saddened by the news, I was not surprised.
Carly’s story proves to us that it is possible to attract even
our own death with our thoughts. She is without a doubt an extreme
example of how negative thoughts combined with obsessive thoughts
are deadly combos.

Be wary of your thoughts. For within them are the power of life and
death, poverty and wealth, sickness and health. You can choose to
believe me and break the shackles of your negative thought patterns,
or you can choose to ignore me and who knows, maybe end up like Carly.
The power of choice is yours alone to make.
