Meet Matthew Harger, Mindset Mastery graduate.

His journey through the Mindset Mastery course shows how persistence, clarity, and faith can turn even difficult goals into tangible results.

When Matthew first began, he found his inconsequential goal surprisingly difficult. He admitted that “the blocks” made progress feel slow and uncertain. But with the encouragement of friends and family, he pressed on and worked to truly believe.

His wife helped him recognize how close he was to achieving what he had envisioned. Though it seemed to take a very long time, eventually the picture he had held so clearly in his mind became reality:

"I found that my inconsequential goal was very difficult because of the blocks in my head, but through hard work and with help ... I was able to continue on and try to believe.

"... my wife pointed out how close I was to creating what I had desired. In my eyes it took a very long time, I really am not sure how long it took. Eventually, I opened my eyes and there was my goal. I was looking for a specific type of model of car with the color that I wanted. I wasn't surprised to see my goal because I had thought it so clearly in my head. I was happy to see it truly manifest in front of me."

Although his summary is short and understated, his wife filled in some of the details. She explained that when he first attempted Guided Mindset Mastery shortly after they were married, his interest was more about pleasing her than pursuing his own growth, so it didn’t stick. They joked that he “failed” his first try, but it was clear he wasn’t yet invested.

Over time, however, that changed. Through friendships with others in the program, and with the help of tools he was introduced to, he began to take ownership of the experience. He entered the class again, this time with genuine interest and curiosity about how the laws of thought worked in harmony with the gospel. Having previously studied authors like Neville Goddard and James Allen, he had resisted connecting those principles to his faith. But as he participated more fully, he began to see how all the pieces were coming together.

For his inconsequential goal, he chose something simple but specific: to see an Audi in a particular, unusual color he had never encountered before. At first, he didn’t even tell his wife what he was working on. He grew frustrated when it didn’t happen right away, but she reminded him that sometimes progress shows up in unexpected ways while we hold the image of our goal.

He found an Audi of a different color:

And sure enough, he began to notice the right color appearing all around him — first on trucks and everyday vehicles...

...and then on higher-end cars like this Porsche:

It even became a bit of a family game, everyone laughing and pointing out sightings as the “right color” kept showing up in more expensive makes, though still not on an Audi.

Then, one day in Omaha, while turning a corner downtown to meet with an old family friend, there it was: the very Audi in the very color he had imagined, parked right where he would see it. The moment was so striking that they laughed out loud, realizing the goal had finally materialized.

Alongside this, he had also quietly set another goal — to come up with about $5,000 by the first of the month. He had no idea where it would come from, but soon remembered an old account he had with his ex-wife. To his amazement, the balance was not only there but about $150 more than he expected.

From the outside, his wife observed enormous growth in his persistence and faith. What began as a lighthearted experiment turned into a meaningful experience of learning how God works with our thoughts and intentions. Seeing his inconsequential goals fulfilled — both the unexpected money and the specific car — strengthened his confidence that he could indeed co-create with God.

Finding the right job

This process revealed another layer of growth. Taking what he had learned from the Inconsequential Goal, he thought it would be simple to find a job he enjoyed—but he discovered that the real challenge was getting clear on what he truly wanted.

That clarity became an important turning point.

"I truly thought it would be easy to find a simple job that I truly enjoyed. I didn't care how much I got paid, I simply wanted to do something that I enjoyed. I found it difficult ... to get clear on what I wanted."

Q. Did you achieve the goal?

"Yes, but it took a long time!"

Sometimes getting clarity is the hardest part, but make the biggest difference.

Fear also surfaced along the way. He explained:

“There are so many fears that I have, it’s hard to just pick out one. I think the biggest fear I’ve had lately is the fear of not doing anything, or not doing enough. I want things so much to be perfect, but sometimes it’s like frosting a cake—the more you go over it, the worse it looks. What I’ve learned is to think of fear as more of a sign, like a stop sign—not that grievous, but a reminder to look around and be more aware.

"The best thing to do, even when you are afraid, is to keep moving forward. The most important thing I’ve learned is to keep moving forward.”

Through deep meditation and hard work, he came to see that fear really is False Evidence Appearing Real—simply thinking about something in the future that hasn’t happened.

Matthew’s story is a powerful reminder that clarity, persistence, and faith can have a powerful impact on bringing what we hold in our minds into reality.

Great job, Matthew!
