I had always had a strong belief in the abundance of the universe and never really thought about why I always seemed to have money, whether I was making it or not, or had a great job or not. I just never seemed to worry about money. I realized that one of my belief systems was that I always have plenty of money. Now I was not sure if I believed that and so it became, or if it was so, and therefore I believed it. It didn’t really matter to me which came first.

 Two years ago I had a few months where I was in a bit of a funk about money. I have been an entrepreneur most of my adult life, and with that comes times of financial uncertainty. I had gotten used to that and always came out ahead probably due to my beliefs that I always have money. Well, the past few months I had a few events happen that shook my foundation. I was worried about money for the first time in my life. I did not know how I was going to get by. My business should have been launched way before this and so many obstacles came up and it still was not launched. I felt like I was starting back at square one. It was a scary feeling, and I was torn between having faith that it will work out, and getting a job. I thought if I just got any job, I could at least pay some bills, but my energy and time would be divided up and my business would take that much longer to launch.

 Lack of money was on my mind all the time and during the month of December. By the middle of January I was determined to change my thinking. From everything I had read and learned, in order for my circumstances to change, my mind had to change. I made a conscious effort every day to focus on money coming in despite what was really happening.

I admit, it was difficult! 

While I was trying to focus on prosperity, all these things were happening to me as a result of the entire month of December focusing on lack of money. In one week, my gym membership canceled, I got two parking tickets, and had to pay late fees on movies that were rented on my account that I did not even rent. It was crazy! The more I worried about not having enough, the more the universe brought me reason to worry about not having enough.

I  decided I was not buying in to this. I completely ignored my circumstance, decided to NOT get a job, and trust the universe would take care of this somehow. I started to visualize getting checks in the mail like a guy on The Secret. (Note: put link to The Secret?) I would tell myself that the mail always brings me good news and that I always get large checks in the mail. I told myself that every day for 2 or 3 weeks and I actually started to feel better from just telling myself that over and over. I started to really believe it.

Mid February things started to change. I started getting checks in the mail!

I had no reason to get checks! As far as I knew, no one owed me money, and I did not have any job to get paid for. One of the checks was from a furniture store I had shopped at 3 years before. They called to say I had a credit on my account and is my address still the same so they can send me a refund check? I hadn’t been in the store in over 3 years!

 I also got a letter from my credit card company saying I was getting a $1200 refund for part of a flight I had paid for a year before that was not going to be used. To me that money was long gone, but here it was showing back up when I needed it.

 I went to the cleaners later that week and an envelope was attached to my clothes with $200 in cash in it! They said they found it in my clothes but I really don’t see how. I never keep two $100 dollar bills in my pocket!

You might say that these are all just coincidences and that I would have gotten these checks even if I did not focus on it. I may have agreed with you had the next check not shown up. Last week, I got a call from my old college registrar’s office. I have been out of school for ten years now. They called me to tell me I had a credit on my account and wanted to send me a check. I just opened the mailbox yesterday to find a check in the amount of $3,353.95 from a school I hadn’t attended in 10 years! If that isn’t Law of Attraction, then I don’t know what is!

The Universe does things its own way. If I had thought about where the checks would come from, I could never have received them from these sources. I could never guess it would come to me like this and in this way. That is how I know I am attracting it, rather than making it happen. There is no limitation when you let go and let universe decide the best way to bring you what you want.
