I’m sure that at least once in your life, some annoying person has said to you “be careful what you wish for because you just might get it”. I dislike this idiom because it somehow sounds ominous. However, using Law of Attraction is like talking to Sheldon from the TV show Big Bang Theory. It takes what you say and ask for literally.
I got reminded of this a couple weeks ago after I wrote my last post. I offhandedly wrote that I ‘needed to find $200’. What I meant , Universe, was that I need $200 extra dollars of unexpected income (cash money!) to be able to pay for new brake pads for my car. But, a few days after I wrote that, I got surprised with a package in the mail from a friend of mine and inside was a $100 gift card to Target and a $100 gift card to Forever 21 (don’t judge. ok, judge a little, but whatever). It’s not anywhere close to my birthday, or gift giving holiday. It was a ‘just because I can’ random gift.
Of course I’m grateful for my gift cards! I got new shoes! And I technically got my $200 I asked for. I still laughed because I remembered that dumb Geico commercial where the guy asks the genie for a million bucks and suddenly there’s deer everywhere. There’s probably people out there wondering where the hell the stuff they were trying to attract is, maybe not even realizing they already got whatever it is that they didn’t really mean to ask for. Also, maybe I watch too much TV because somehow all my references pertain to shows and/or commercials.
OK, so duly noted, be specific when asking for shit. At the same time, LOA also dictates that you shouldn’t be specific at all about how you will receive it. Confused yet? Tell me about it. Try LOAing and drinking wine at the same time, ha.
Basically, if you try to be specific about how you receive the stuff you ask for (specifically), you risk blocking the universe from delivering it, or delaying when you’ll get it. Don’t cock block yourself from the Universe. It wants to put out.
Ugh, now I have that really awful Pussycat Dolls song stuck in my head. The one where they keep singing ‘be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it’. Am I the only one who remembers all the words from a song that came out years ago that I hate, but remember nothing from any math class I ever took? Either way, someone make it stoooop.
