What You Wish For


"Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it". This is not just a saying. A saying exists for a reason. It has been said for a very long time, handed down through generations until nobody knows where it came from and then it just becomes a cliché that nobody really takes seriously.

I would like to explain how this saying is more powerful than you could possibly imagine and why people fall prey to it all the time. People assume that it is saying that you might get what you want, which might be a bad thing and of course, people think about that and say "What a load of nonsense!", but here's the truth. Most of the time everybody, automatically is either wishing for what they don't want unknowingly or wishing for what they want carelessly or inaccurately.

What do I mean? It comes back to basic Law of Attraction. You reality is created by where your focus lies. If you want to avoid something, by default you are giving focus to the very thing you wish to avoid, by being aware of when and where it may be, so you can step out of it's way. This in turn puts your vibration in perfect harmony with what it is that you wish to avoid and voila, there it is in your life although you are trying so hard not to meet with such circumstance. As you go through life on automatic pilot this will be going on in the amazing creation that is your mind without you having a clue that it is doing so. You are at it's mercy and you will continue to be until you become aware of it and take action to change it.

That is an example of wishing for what you don't want. By stating you don't want it you are making it very clear to yourself of what you"do" want, but in reaality are nowhere near in alignment with what it is you actually want. Instead the universe as it picks up the transmission from the electronic switching station that is your brain ignores the "not" and provides you with the subject matter of your thoughts and therefore what it translates as wishes. This is just how the universe works and must be accepted before any change can purposefully be made. This means that you will always be on the wrong path if you lay blame to anyone (including yourself) or anything in any situation.

Now the interesting part. Wishing for what you want, but in a careless fashion.

Before I had an automobile accident in July 2007 that completely destroyed my car I made a wish. I am planning to start a new life in Thailand and at the time I made this statement I didn't know when I would be going. On a day when I was feeling particularly fed up with my situation, driving an old car, working nightshifts, feeling unhealthy due to the nightshifts and missing my girlfriend in Thailand I said to myself "I will not see the mileage on this car reach 99,999 miles" The mileage on the clock was, at that time about 92,000 miles. What I meant in my mind was that I intended to be gone and living my new life before I had reached that landmark figure on the car's odometer. What I now realise I "put out there" was that I wished that I would never see that car reach 99,999, however that may occur. The result, seeing as I am still in my current situation is that I am without my own mode of transport.

This is an example of wishing in a careless fashion. If I had been more conscious in my thinking then I would have said to myself "I will be in Thailand before the mileage on this car reaches 99,999 miles".

It is a seemingly small detail, but one, if remembered every time you think about something can make all the difference between something desirable and undesirable for you. The hard part is remembering to have that attention to detail at all times, but if you keep watching yourself as often as you can remember it slowly becomes habit and your thinking becomes clearer and more precise. Be impeccable.
