I?m not actor Bruce Willis, and I?ve not met him yet, but I know something he may not. Let?s call it ?Bruce Willis Manifesting.? It?s a way to use your mind to attract what you want. It?s something you already do when you think of your favorite celebrity, and it?s something you can consciously direct to manifest what you want. It?s actually a very cool way to speed up the manifestations of your goals, desires and intentions. Interested? Let me explain: Recently a woman was about to interview me, but couldn?t calm down. ?You?re a legend!? she kept repeating. ?You?re a legend!? She was going gaga for me. But why? I certainly know the feeling of being star struck in the presence of a celebrity. I was that way with rock icon Melissa Etheridge. I was that way with actor James Caan. Same when actor-bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno came to my house. I met President Jimmy Carter twice and couldn?t speak either time. If and when I meet Bruce Willis, I?ll probably be star struck with him, too. At least for a few minutes. But why? I propose the reason you and I are in awe of stars we like is a clue on how to manifest what we want faster. So give me a moment to explain. Last year I was invited to act in my first indie movie. A woman came to my music show last July at The Townsend in Austin. She heard my Band of Legends and me and afterwards invited me to act in her movie. I haven?t acted since kindergarten. I was one of the three little pigs in a kids? play. But I told this delightful woman I?d do it. And I did. It was the movie Cecilia. When you see it, you might experience the manifestation strategy I?m wanting to discuss here. But even if you don?t see that movie, maybe you saw me in the movie The Secret. If not, I?m in about 15 other movies, with three more coming out this year. And of course I?ve been on Larry King Live national television, twice. All of this public exposure is making more people recognize me. And when they do, some are star struck. I remember landing in Peru and a bunch of people ran up to me. It spooked me because some of them were security guards. I thought something was wrong. But no, they wanted to meet a star from a movie. They wanted photos and autographs at baggage claim. Why? So let me get back to explaining: We watch a movie we like. We see a star we like. There is emotion. Our brains ?brand? this emotion onto our minds. We ?link? the visual of seeing our favorite star with the emotion of what the movie is triggering in us. Then, if we ever our star on the street, the mental switch is triggered. And we go gaga. If you don?t know a celebrity, and he or she walks by, you won?t think Page 25 - M ay, 2018
