By now we have all heard about The Law of Attraction"....you attract what you put your energy in to.....and have changed or at least attempted to change, our way of thinking. You want more abundance, you think 'I want more abundance', you want love in your life, you don't think "I'll never have anyone" you think "Someone just for me is on their way" etc. The theory behind this way of thinking sounded pretty good and so I started to change the way I thought. But, considering I was still as abundant as I was before I started reading all of the 'experts' books, didn't get the results the books and the movies said I would.
Hmmmmmmm, what am I doing wrong I asked myself. For the answer, I was guided one Sunday afternoon to watch Dr Wayne Dyer's PBS special Excuses Begone! and one thing he said really gave me an "AHA" moment: He said, "You attract what you are, not what you want!"He then goes on to say that it is a matter of our being in 'misalignment' with the universe.."when you become aligned, your thoughts no longer focus on what you don't want but rather on what you intend to manifest as a co-creator with Source." To paraphrase, 'you have everything you desire you just haven't connected with it yet.' (This is an amazing book by the way maybe even his best ever so if you get a chance to read it, do so...you will not regret it!) One other thing he said, and being a store owner really perked my ears up, was "..the universe not only will, but must provide you with what you conceive of. So if you complain about what's missing in your life, you'll be offered more experiences that match that energy. When you say 'I love my job but I'll never get rich at it' you're aligning with a frequency that will give you what you think" When it came to the Mystic Meadow, that's what I used to say....it pays its bills but I'll never get rich from it....and that's exactly what 'was' happening. I highlight 'was' because as soon as I started thinking and saying 'This place is a goldmine' the energy shifted and it has become just that, a goldmine! Amazing it worked!
Okay, so I have finally figured out the right way to 'think' and life is good, well....yes and no. No being that not everyone in my intimate circle of friends and family shares my optimism or enthusiasm preferring to be 'realistic'...which to me is just another word for pessimistic but I digress. So what does one do? The books never really give you a clear answer on how to manifest successfully when you have had your wings 'clipped' so to speak. It isn't feasible to up and leave your circle and live alone, at least it isn't for me, so how does one get past this?
I know you are all thinking.....yay, she knows the answer and will tell us and then we will all know and live happily ever after....but I don't so I can't. I asked my husband the other day what he thought about Linda and I buying Railtown (the complex where the store is located) and after he stopped laughing proceeded to tell me all the troubles we would have - being the loving supportive guy he is though, he never even mentioned the fact that neither one of us has the millions of dollars it will take to buy it (probably because he was still laughing too hard)
So the question is, is his 'being realistic' negating my 'being optimistic' or can we live together, deal with manifesting in different ways, and still manifest what each of us want separately while remaining a couple? (I haven't told him yet that I intend to have a villa in the south of France by the time we retire, I think I will wait until after Linda and I purchase the Condos and I have some leverage)....
