Proof the Law of Attraction Really Does Work
Yesterday (Thursday August 12 2010) I posted http://beautifulsummermorning.com/2010/08/how-to-get-the-money-monkeys-out-of-your-mind/ an article dealing with limited thinking about money. I wrote about the idea for the article on Wednesday August 11, 2010. On Friday August the 13th 2010 here is what happened to me the very next day after posting the article.
I suggest you follow the link to the article and read it first then come back and read this.
As you can see yesterday I solved my limited thinking abou tthe limited money pool I had to draw on each month by agreeing to add $50 more each month which would equal to adding 3,000 more a month in five years. That is almost double the pool I now have to work with.
I set fifty dollars as my goal because it represented a baby step. I could see that I could probably come up with a way in August to come up with $50 extra dollars. If I had started with 200.00 I would probably have kicked in my negative money monkeys.
I had no idea where the $50 dollars would come from but that’s where you have to be willing to believe and trust it will happen. I gave the example of my leaking gold fish pond and how I never doubted that I would have the water to fill it.
Today as I retrieved the mail I was attacked by a money monkey. As I looked through the mail I spied an ad that read in large bold print, Free Money. My first reaction was to scoff. There is no such thing as free money I muttered as I went to toss the offending item into the trash.
But I stopped.
“Hold on,” I thought, “that’s a money monkey (a limiting belief about money). I quickly rephrased my negative thought to: “Of course there is free money, it’s everywhere!”
When I opened up the ad, on the inside page, it read: “Get $250 dollars when you open a checking account with us.” The only catch was that you had to set up two automatic bill payments. That’s no problem, I just have to shift a couple around, two of which I wanted to change from my credit card anyway.
So off I went to the bank, signed up and on Dec 30 of this year I will get $250 deposited to my account which is exactly the total extra dollars I would need to add into my December pool. For all you doubters out there…it is a FREE checking account so I am incurring no additional costs! Sweet!
The moral of the story is of course, don’t try to figure out where the money will come from…it will always come to you in a totally unexpected way.
I kept on attracting things today. My local baker had run out of the type of buns I wanted to buy, so I ordered a loaf of bread and some hamburger buns. After I had paid for my order and I was turning to leave he said, “Hang on, grab my card over there and just call ahead in the morning and I will save them for you, and here…here’s a free loaf of bread.”
I thanked him and let him know how much I appreciated his gesture. I think that is very important. Always show gratitude (humbly) for the gifts you receive. Never leave this step out.
A similar thing happened at the green grocer when I paid for my purchase the clerk put five lovely nectarines in my cloth bag.
“What’s that for?”
“Oh, you spent over 20 dollars so you get a bag of nectarines for free.”
Again: “Thank you very much, I really appreciate the gift.”
And now I am writing this really neat follow up story about how spotting and dealing with a Money Monkey resulted in almost instantaneous results.
Can it get any better?
In my original article I talk of my two step process for finding hidden money monkeys and finding a way to break the limited thinking they aspire to. I invite you to go try the process and see for yourself.
I’d love to hear your story.
