One day, I met Jack… Jack is probably the most enthusiastic person I ever knew, and he told me one day. He says, “Bob I’ve got this wonderful thing, wonderful thing, I was in Brazil, I went to Texas, I spent some more time with Jose” and he says you're going to love this and I thought this would be something that’s very-very powerful, he was so excited and I said well tell me some time, tell me now and simply this; Every night when you go to bed, all you gotta do is; you just say to yourself “SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME TOMORROW” and Bob you say it 3 times and when you wake up in the morning, as soon as you wake up, you say “SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME TODAY” and Bob you say it 3 times but you say it with passion. 

 

And I was so disappointed in hearing this, I thought this was going to be something powerful, it was about like you know “Every day and every way. . .” I couldn’t see the difference. But Jack’s a friend of mine and I was staying in this hotel at the time. I did the bit, “Something wonderful is going to happen, something wonderful is going to happen to me tomorrow” and said it in the morning, said it again and off I went to work, I saw Jack the day after that in a small kind of restaurant, having breakfast and Jack very excitedly said to me; did you do the thing? Did you do the something wonderful thing? 

 

And I said Jack I've never lied to you, I did, I absolutely did it and he said, tell me the truth, what kind of a day did you have and I said Jack, I’m going to be honest with you, it was a real s&^% day, it was one of the worst days I think I can ever remember, everything just collapsed and Jack says “Show me how you did it.” I said Jack, there’s a 120 people here having tea and coffee, “Show me Bob, show me how you did it.” So I said Okay Jack, “Something wonderful is going to happen to me tomorrow, something wonderful is going to happen to me tomorrow, something wonderful going on to me tomorrow.” 

 

And Jack jumped up onto his feet and look at me and Said, “Oh Bob, “NO! NO!” “SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME TOMORROW” “SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME TOMORROW” “SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME TOMORROW” 

 

And I swear to you, 120 people jumped up and started applauding and cheering. And Jack says “They know Bob, why not you?” and I felt kind of silly. So that night, I'm in my room, I’ve of drank half a bottle of whiskey and that’s a normal evening, I go to bed and I do my bit; “SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME TOMORROW” something wonder….. I do the whole FOR JACK  cause I might have to bump into him again and I don't want to lie. The next morning I'm in the mirror. Nothing worse than a naked man with just socks and brushing his teeth saying “SOMETHING WONDERFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN Nothing, it's not it's not pretty, so I did the bit and I left and I came downstairs and as I was waiting this woman told me . . . if you go to bus stop, they’re running every 5-6 minutes, every number…. It doesn’t matter, yours a 3rd stop for the place that you're looking for, the business center, so while I was standing there, there was  two women and a young boy who was holding on to his mum's hand, like he was going round and round, as fed up children do.

 

And suddenly he looked in a shop and he's asking his mum, obviously, for a sweet and the mother ‘s saying no and he's going on and on, so she takes what look like a 50 pence piece and give it to him and waved at the woman in the shop, who obviously knew her and she would take care of the wee boy as he came and he looked to me to be a 3 and half-4 years old and the mother continued speaking.Now but as a boy turned, an interesting thing happened, he happened to look and he saw a tramp outside the shop windows sitting there in the Tartan rug you know, looking a bit beleaguered and as the wee boy went up to him, he saw the little cup, the begging bowl and the boy he'd seen this before, he'd recognized, related, assimilated and now he thought he would actionize by simply giving the tramp the 50 pence, the tramp was an interesting one, he was an older man and he had realised how his life had gone and 

 

“Here I am now, sitting here in the street with a young boy giving me the money that he would have used for that candy apple, I cannot have this!”

 

So he genuinely says no to the boy. No-no-no, the boy loved this, the boy had an adult saying no but he had money, he was in control and he would decide what would happen. So he smiled and went yes. Yes and the tramp still sayin it, and then the coin falls and it hits the cup and the Tramp cries. He just cries and the boys doesn't understand but he holds his mom's hand, then he knew something was just great, his mother looked at him and said something and he lied, he looked and wiped his mouth. So that would just close that door, he looked back again at the tramp and he smiled and gave him a little wave and the tramp smiled and waved back to the boy and it was really beautiful, then I discovered that 

 

I WAS SOBBING, 

 

I mean I was sobbing, I had the mucus coming out my nose, the whole thing, I’m just….You know that things the child gets when they get a hiccup, all of that was going on. I swear to you, I had one of the best days I've ever had in my life, I JUST SAW THING THAT I WOULD NOT NORMALLY HAVE SEEN. I think the guidance that saved me, the guidance saved my subconscious turned around and said, HE MEANS IT! He’s naked with his socks on brushing his teeth and he is screaming, he's a mental case, he means it, he's as mad as a box of matches, he just means it. Okay, you want to see stuff, you want to have a great day, we will reveal stuff to you, we will REVEAL RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS ALL DAY that will make you feel emotional and it just happened like that. I swear to you we got that's what I do now, all my family laugh at me and some of them join with me, they say it's part of their lives, I do it every night, I do it every morning, it's been like that for a couple decades now and it just kind of changes things. It all comes back to habitual, does it not? I do this and the magic happens.
