I impressed with today's tip!
First of all, seems like Michael researched who that painter was, who copied other painters' work (or someone really did call in and gave him feedback after listening to the Effortless Success program

)
Then....
when people begin to believe that the only way to unlock the door to success is to visualize and affirm it as open, they sometimes forget to check the door to see if it was ever really locked in the first place.
...slightly unrelated and maybe totally different, but just yesterday I visited a friend in her new apartment. The building is an old factory and has 6 or more new apartments. She's the only one who has moved in yet and we were saying, isn't it scary to know you're the only one in the whole building? She said, sometimes, and told us how she "locked herself in" the bathroom one day (a 1x1meter cubicle) and she tried and tried to unlock the lock but it just wouldn't move and just before she was about to scream (in vain, of course), she thought of pressing down the handle... and walked into freedom because she hadn't locked it in the first place!
I also really like the structure of today's tip, from a literary point of view

It's.. kind of... "round". I like round things. The second "crap" question makes it all come together (like a circle) at the end..
* Am I putting in the hours?
* Am I doing what someone who didn't believe in any of this "power of thought" stuff would believe was necessary to get where I want to go?
* If I was accountable to a manager or boss for the successful completion of this project, would I be able to give a good accounting of what I'm doing to make things happen?
No.
No.
No.
Oops. Gotta go...
