I Manifested Not One AC Unit, But TWO

I live in a fairly large apartment. It is in an old building, which adds to the charm of the place. The idea of trading my ample space, for something new (and smaller) doesn’t seem too appealing right now. The main drawback of living in an older building is there's no central air, but three units for the main rooms of the flat.

Last summer, I wanted to use one of these units (for the first time of the season) and it sounded like a beat up old Pinto with no muffler, ready for that grand scrap pile in the sky. It pumped out a lot of lukewarm air. This unit was in my second bedroom – my home office with my computer that needs a cool room to function properly.

Now, I could have run out to Home Depot and buy a new unit, but time would not allow me that day. In fact the entire weekend was booked. I decided I would wait until the following weekend to purchase a unit. My friend who knows a lot about electronics, promised to come with me. I put the AC unit out of my mind and went about my business.

The next day, I saw our building superintendent. As usual, I said hello and stopped to chat. He told me he had been getting an apartment ready to show. The people who lived in that apartment abandoned two air condition units and they were sitting in the apartment. He told me I could have one of them if I needed. I looked at the units and they looked pretty new. They were identical, so I simply chose one of them. The friend, who was going to shop with me came by and installed my new unit.

Several months later, this same friend was moving into a house that had central air. He offered to give me his unit. Not only that, he installed that unit for me as well. Life is good!

What is a vision board?

Lately, there has been much talk on vision boards. For years many successful individuals and companies have been using roadmaps to determine and monitor their goals. Goals reached are often checked off or deleted from the board or spreadsheet and a new goal is put in its place.

 

A vision board can help you view at a glance the milestones you want to reach in life. They help you keep your eye on the prize and motivate you toward your dreams. My vision board encourages me to work out everyday and eat healthy. I am also starting a fashion line, so my vision board reminds me to do something everyday to work toward that goal.

For those of us who subscribe to the Law of Attraction, a vision board can be a useful tool in manifesting our desires. If you want to attract a pricey new car, ordinarily out of your budget, you could place a photo of such a car on your vision board. A car can come in many ways. Many people win a new car or prize money to enable to them to buy the car. I know a guy who bought his car for a great price from a wealthy owner.

With visual tools, you can be drawn into the lifestyle you want. If you want something, you must visualize yourself as having it already. If it’s a new home, place photos of home interiors and exteriors on your vision board. Everyday, take yourself through this house. Imagine that kitchen is yours. See yourself touching the handle of that shiny new stainless steel refrigerator. See yourself cooking on that 45” range with superior features. The next time you’re pressed for space, while whipping up dinner, picture yourself preparing your food on a spacious island with a granite countertop.

The more you visualize, the more you feel it is yours and quicker your desires come to you. When you put yourself into the feeling of having it, the Law of Attraction will mirror those images and it will be delivered to you! 

Make a vision board for yourself and place it where you can see it everyday. You can cut items from a magazine or print them out on the computer. Cut these things out and place them on a corkboard or a magnet board. You can place photos of your wants on your refrigerator. You can turn your vision board into a screensaver on your computer. There are many ways to use this tool in helping your manifest the things you want. There are many ways to use the Law of Attraction, but I find this to be most effective in achieving your goals.

 

The Attitude of Gratitude

If we want to manifest something, we must be grateful for the things we have. If we are grateful, then we will attract more things to be grateful for. If you want a new car, be grateful for the one you have. If you don’t have a car, be grateful for busses and taxis.

In her book The Secret, Rhonda Byrne pointed out that Albert Einstein said thank you one hundred times a day. He thanked his colleagues and his predecessors for the knowledge and influence imparted to him. Everyday, life’s mysteries were unfolded before him. Rhonda concluded this man surely knew the secret.

We tend to focus on what we don’t want or that our needs aren’t met. Humans like to complain, to “vent”. Have you ever noticed most people would say, “I hope all the parking spaces at the festival aren’t taken” rather than, “I want to find a parking space in a great location, so we can get to the festival easily”? When we focus on what we don’t want, we end up getting just that – what we don’t want. We are putting all our energy into the negative outcome and sending a message echoing this unfavorable condition.

Try changing I don’t want to be late to I want to get there on time.

I hope the concert isn’t sold out to I want concert tickets and I want good seats.

I don’t want any bad news from the doctor to I want a clean bill of health.

I hope she doesn’t start complaining again to I want our visit to pleasant.

I hope the items at the sales aren’t “picked over” to I want to find plenty of items in my size.

We attract what we think about. When we are grateful, we tend to be full of joy and we raise our vibration to the fullest. This helps us align ourselves so we may attract the things we want. You can and should give thanks for the things you want now, before it arrives. If you want or need a new car, give thanks for that new car and it will come to you quicker.

Welcome to The Great Intender Blog!

I picked up my first book on the Law of Attraction in 2008. It was the The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. I always felt there was "something to" the idea behind positive thinking, but never thought much of it. After reading the book, a whole new world opened up to me.  I began to make plans to obtain the things I really wanted - not the things I should want.

Prior to reading The Secret and other books on the Law of Attraction, I had stopped wanting some of these things, figuring they just weren't possible to achieve. Like most people, I worked everyday and partied on weekends, while living pay check to pay check. This was the status quo and I accepted it as "normal", but something inside of me wanted more. I began to research and study these principles and apply them to my own life.

Ever since that time, I've been learning and implementing the tools outlined in these books. This is such an amazing discovery, that I wanted to share it with as many people as I can. I encourage you to comment and ask questions. If you'd like to share, feel free. I will be answering posts in the evenings EST.
Cheers!
