The Law of Attraction is alive and well. Of course, it always was, always is, and always will be, whether we believe in the Laws of the Universe or not. "The Secret" introduced many to these Laws and some of us became conscious of how to use those Laws, and some of us played with it a bit then said "Phooey!"I am a firm believer in the Laws, I just tend to get lazy, or disappointed when what I want doesn't show up right away - maybe discouraged is a better word. This is the problem with most of us, I think, in manifesting what we desire. Patience.
When you visit the Higher Self Bookstore, you will notice that we do everything by hand. Book titles are written down on a yellow pad at time of sale, we search 3X5 cards to see if a book is in stock, we are still handwriting gift certificates, and there is a standard cash register. I wanted to offer more to my customers.
I wanted a POS system. POS stands for Point of Sale. With a point of sale we could scan products for faster check out, record your purchases for loyalty programs, issue gift cards, and generate reports and orders and such to get me out of the office and visiting with you out in the store! And so much more!
In 2009, I almost committed to the purchase of a POS. Luckily, my bookkeeper stopped me. We really (really!) couldn't afford it. I still wanted one, and for the next four years I desired, wished, wanted one. I could even whip up the excitement the owning of one would have for me.
But this is only part of the Law of Attraction equation. What I was missing was action. I had in my head an already knowing of how much it cost and that it was out of my reach. Over the last month I finally started working on a business plan - something I didn't really think I needed because I had it all in my head and why put it on paper for others to read? Please list this under denial, laziness, and procrastination.
Writing about my mission was easy. Coming up with the numbers, not so much. As I took action and started getting new quotes for POS systems, as well as new website, online store costs, etc., it actually felt good to know, really know, so I could continue to take steps from there. It included talking to actual people, too, instead of just the voice in my head. People who knew other people who were just waiting for me. Just waiting.
So, the reason for this topic this month is - Law of Attraction works when you work it! I'm so excited I've been jumping up and down all day! The Higher Self is getting a POS system! Affordable and awesome! Just wait until you see all we will be able to offer you! I can hardly wait!
I think the Universe was waiting around to see if I was serious. That is where the action part is so important. Well, just as important as the desire and the feeling - you gotta give it all! Wishin' and a-hopin' and thinkin' ain't gonna work - unless it does but those cases are rare.
Speaking of manifesting, there's a class here on January 11th on the Law of Attraction, offering you tools to make your desires a reality. The tools won't do the work it for you, of course.
Wishing you all that you desire, this holiday season and all the days of your life!
