Sure, if for some reason it is very important to me to see a blue feather, I guess I will go to the pet store and look at the parakeets. But I already know how to do that. That's not "attracting" a blue feather. |
Moonrambler, I have had magic happen so often but the last one is unbelievable. In October last year there was a tiny opening for an international career for me (I wished for in a very vague way). I grabbed the opportunity and went for it (inspired action). After my second visit to our subsidiary in this country the GM there told mine he did not like me and didn’t want me although all the other members of the Executive Board where thrilled to have me. So it was an obstacle I couldn’t jump over or pass around in any way. This guy was there for another year at the time or even more. So I did my visualization – saw myself pull-up in front of the Head Office in my new red Porcher Cayenne, run up to the third floor where my office would be and great my colleague I am having a beautiful love relationship since my second visit. I could see the house I was living in.. all of it, I had March 3rd as the date.. Months passed, nothing was happening on the contrary, my chances were diminishing. After doing the visualization for about a month in December 2007 I let it go. The whole wish of going to this country to work. I even found all the reasons I shouldn’t. Why it was for the best And then, ant the end of March things just turned around at one evening event. A very important man from Headquarters (this is a mega-giga-multy-global firm) came and told me I was going, all the other players in the game that were against it before became my supporters. There are just a few loose ends to be tied and I am leaving in May or June!!!!! I must confess I never gave up, I sought out every opportunity to keep the idea of me going in the air. I spoke as if I was going for sure, I acted and planed everything as if I was leaving very soon. I kept the distance relationship very alive as if it was going to be naturally continued when I get there. But it was not so passionate any more, it was not as if my life depended on it. It was OK if it happened and OK if not. Since then the Cayenne became BMW X6 . It is still red. This is just one of my magical stories. The same way I lost 66 pounds last year, got this job in the first place in 2006. Live in a huge beautiful penthouse. Before IM and Thomas Troward and all the other authors I used to say that it was my ability to allow myself great things everybody else thought to be impossible.
