So you just thought you wanted it and then it just happened ~ It just showed up ~ you just got it?
I’ve had this said to me quite a bit now. Today I want to share a special story with you about things showing up that we think we want.
Here’s my story
In a previous post, I shared the story of how I attracted my home. I rent this house and I’ve been here for over three years at the time of writing this post. Just after I moved in, another house in the village I grew up in also came up for rent. I’d signed a 1-year contract. When it was coming up for the time to renew my contract, my thoughts turned to the other house.
I set an intention that I wanted to look around the house, I imagined what it was like inside.
A few days later, I had my mum with me in the car and as we drove past the house, I saw a for rent sign.
“Oh, I was just thinking I wanted to look around that house”
Mum in her knowing voice said “So you just thought about it and then it happens”
“Yep, that’s how it works!”
So I booked an appointment to look at the house. It was beautiful, but not for me.
I said thank you to the universe and went home to enjoy my lovely home.
Getting what you want isn’t always what you really want.
Just because you put it out into the universe that you want something, doesn’t mean you have to love it when it shows up.
A lot of people have a problem with this idea.
So here’s my checklist of what to do if something you think you want shows up and then you realize you don’t really want it.
- Say thank you anyway, you’ve been able to clarify what you don’t want, so that you can move on to what you don’t want
- Re-evaluate ~ When I looked around the second house, I was able to take the things I did like and incorporate those things in my current home.
- Move on.
I hope you’ve found my story useful. If you have please do let me know, I really love hearing from you.
Best wishes
Wendy xx
