How many of you have seen The Secret? Do you believe in the power of manifesting? I've had some experiences that have led me to believe in it. First was my engagement to my fiancée. I was so focused on being married in spite of all those around me who might have told me I was obsessed, that it was unhealthy to want it that badly, but I kept focusing on it, until I found a woman who I fell in love with, and who fell in love with me, and we decided to get married.
One detail. She lives in Russia.
So I have to go meet her before INS will let me bring her back to the U.S. and marry her. And that means a plane ticket. So that's where my focus has been. Now, if you're reading this blog, you may know that I have an online retail business, and since my job only allows me to save up a limited amount of money, I've been focusing on that to provide the extra income. But a strange thing happened last week - in a bad corporate economy, in a company that has a hiring freeze and a raise freeze, we got a huge job that required lots of overtime from all involved - including me.
I was focusing on the money for the plane ticket. I wasn't focusing on how I would get it.
Now, make no mistake, I still have a long way to go in terms of saving money. But the thing to notice is that I was focusing so much on the end result without focusing on the means to that end. Never mind that my business will also allow me to achieve financial freedom through residual income, through leverage, and will also allow me to solve all sorts of problems for many people. The name of the game now is to focus on that vehicle, and not just the end result, so that I can achieve that result, as well as everything that goes along with it.
