Red Light? Green Light

[Ethan]

Hey all, I've got a story and a question about manifesting stuff.

I drive to school every morning through friday, and back home every afternoon. After a while I decided I wanted to hit as many green lights as I can, I go through four lights on my way to school. Now I've actually become fairly adept at hitting them at the right times due to the Law of Attraction (so I believe). A lot of the time it has to do with how good of a mood I am in, nowadays it does anyway. Sometimes even when I'm in a little sour mood I hit greenlights and it makes me smile remembering that I created that little piece of happiness. Now the chances of hitting all of them green and sailing right through, or stopping and two seconds later, green! are slim. But I've done it quite a few times. Woo hoo for LoA! I know its real, I know I can do it.

But to my question, why is it so easy for me to attract those green lights but not "bigger" things into my life, such as more money or more fun relationships?

Because you think these things are bigger and harder to manifest.

LOL. Dear friend, you gotta work on your beliefs, and yes, it takes practice.

I remember some time ago, someone on this forum was talking about his dad who took a Silva Mind Method course decades ago. The dad became phenomenal at manifesting empty car parking lots, and till today, confidently manifests empty parking lots.

But he has never succeeded in manifesting anything except empty parking lots.

My life can get so hectic, at home and at work, that I often forget to take a moment and regroup and get back in the right frame of mind.

So I have decided to think of stoplights as God's way of helping me fulfill an intention that is related to what you are talking about. God knows I get caught up with everyday things and he uses redlights as my own little time out. All I have to do is use that time at the stoplight to think of things I am grateful for. Just spend that thirty seconds thanking God for being alive and having the opportunity to experience and grow.

(It is amazing how well it works.) I haven't gotten to where I like red lights, but I am getting there. ;]

What is really amazing is that on days when things are going really well, my stress level is low, and my thoughts are on the present - God realizes this and gives me all green lights instead of red.

Hey Ethan - nice name by the way.

Manifesting big things into your life is much, much harder then the odd red and green light. This is because of the fundamental problem that our perceptions are just as creative as our intentions. What this basically means is that the change in our external world is a gradual process that occurs over a lengthy period of time - which means, in the long run, manifesting a red or green light is far easier then manifesting a new job into your life. It takes a good deal longer because you're constantly percieving things which hold you back in the wider areas. But don't worry - as long as you remain focused on your intentions - you will end up with success.
