There are two things in my life that I decided I would achieve, no matter what: Succeeding as a broadcaster and winning my beautiful wife. It took 10 years of effort just to get good enough to be competitive in the trade. And I still work very hard to be worthy of my exquisite Queen every day, 47 years later. Manifesting what we desire isn't just about positive thoughts. It's being willing to keep your eye on the prize and going after it when everyone is telling you it's out of reach. What do you care enough to attain... against all odds?
