MANILA, Philippines—A former law partner used to half-joke about the “power of the mind.” When trying to find parking in or around Makati City Hall. While we were almost late to the court hearing.

The creepy part is that—it works!

Because Tony Robbins just reminded me of that.


“As a Man Thinketh”

Written by James Allen and first published in 1903, “As a Man Thinketh” is a literary essay that explores the power of thought and its influence on a person's life. The title is inspired by a biblical proverb, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” The book emphasizes the idea that thoughts are powerful forces that shape an individual's character, circumstances, and destiny.

“Think and Grow Rich”

“Think and Grow Rich” is a book by Napoleon Hill, first published in 1937. It is one of the best-selling self-help books of all time. Hill's work is based on his study of successful individuals, including Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison. Hill emphasizes the importance of the power of the subconscious mind in achieving personal success.

In the World of Co-ops, there is one of those many things that was mentally willed into existence: CoopPay, the world’s first Lightning wallet for cooperatives.

CoopPay is still playing in my subsconscious.
