I was driving down the freeway to Melbourne on the weekend. A journey of an hour and a half to visit my grandfather who was having a stay in a nursing home while my parents were away.
I was reflecting on my life and what my next big step would be. The goal of financial freedom is never far from my mind however, with two teenage daughters, lots of animals, and a full time job I do not have a great deal of time to work out how to go out on a limb in order to increase my income.
My present job does not pay very well but also leaves me too tired to think about being courageous and giving it up to seek something else. Two years ago I was driving to work as I do everyday in my car, at the time one of the oldest on the road with no air conditioning and very rusty; I was looking at my hands on the steering wheel and I began to visualise my hands on the steering wheel of a smart new car.
I would look about me on the freeway and pick a car that I would like to own and blow it a kiss. I continued this visualisation and smiling at new cars everyday for a few months and thanking the Universe for the new car that was coming.
One day whilst I was at work, my father rang up and said, “your Mother and I are at the car yard and I have picked out a car for you – what colour do you want?” I never in my wildest visioning knew how I was going to get a new car.
Certainly didn’t think my father was going to go into a car yard one day and decide to get me a car. Now, going to visit my grandfather I looked at my hands on the steering wheel of my gorgeous new car which has been with me for two years now and I thought….well it worked!
If, like I was, you are tired of hearing these kind of stories of people getting things without having to lift a finger…well I like to think I actually did work hard for this new car….I spread a lot of love around on the busy, mad freeway
I can tell you! Angry, frustrated faces of commuters, busy traffic jams, people late for work and very stressed—I worked at being very grateful, peaceful and loving and like to think the Universe (and Dad) thanked me in return.
Kind regards
