Marie's motivational guru counseled that if one wanted something

bad enough one could attract it through intense visualization.

Ambitious to the core, the young and spritely professional

spent exhausting days, weeks, months, and years

visualizing her move up the corporate ladder,

often skipping meals in her quest for

a heightened sense of being.

She eventually proved

the prophesy true.

...

Dream the ladder.

See the ladder.

Be the ladder.

Oh, sweet, Marie,

One with the ladder.
