“Energy flows where attention goes.”
~ Michael Bernard Beckwith
Good morning friends, and happy hump day to you !!
Yesterday, as I was searching for something I wished to share with you, I ran across something quite astounding.
When Vetaran’s Day – 11/11 – rolled around, I was googling photos for my blog. And was reminded that 11/11/11 was said to have held a very powerful opportunity: If we were to make a sincere wish, an extra-ordinary gateway would open.
As I contemplated what I was doing 2 years ago on 11/11, I was reminded that sometime in November of 2011, I made the final decision to shut down, and eventually sell my business.
Did I create this intention on 11/11 ?!?!? I’ve not made this connection in my mind before …
So yesterday, as I was going through my digital files to share something with you, I ran across a file named ProofPositive.jpg. dated 11/11/11 …
It was a web clipping I had made, detailing a post and conversation I was having with a friend on Facebook. This friend worked for one of my competitors, and had worked for me years ago as well. I had just sent him an email message to see if he could facilitate a sale of my business.
After hitting the send button, I went outside to sit on the porch with Spencer, to enjoy a happy hour cocktail. I felt relieved that I had finally made a decision of pursuit. I opened my computer, and there on the screen was a post from this friend. It read:
“Today is the 11th day of the 11th month of the 2011th year. Is there magic and mystery in the air? Feng Shui says that there’s always something extraordinary and exceedingly special about the number one. When that number is doubled, anyone associated with it will attract ‘winners’ luck, as these numbers now confer the energies to emerge a winner in any competitive situation.”
As I look at my entries in my journal this morning, on 11/9 I met with my meditation teacher who forsaw the buyer. On 11/10, I would make the decision to rent a condo over on St. Croix, so I could begin eliminating that operation. On 11/11 I began contacting a potential buyer.
Wow! Powerful stuff !! While it would turn out, my friend no longer worked with my competitor, he did put me in touch with another manager within their operation. Nothing ever did come of this connection, but as you know, I did almost miraculously sell the business.
So my message here for you today is about the power of intention and belief …
If you’ve never read the book “The Secret”, I suggest you may wish to do so … Before the new year if you want to make pro-active change in your life.
To quote Micheal Bernard Beckwith in full from The Secret:
“Learn to become still, and to take your attention away from what you don’t want, and all the emotional charge around it, and place the attention on what you wish to experience … Energy flows where attention goes.”
As soon as I became aware of – and changed – my mental awareness from “I don’t want” to “I do”, life transformed itself. Will-power is our greatest asset, the secret to life.
What are you fighting against, saying you don’t want in your life? Can you make that simple little mind shift today towards “I do” ? When you do, I promise, magical things can and will happen …
