I don't
know why, but it seems we trip over the
"allowing" part of the Deliberate Attraction
formula more often than the other two parts. The
Deliberate Attraction formula gives us a simple
description of how to leverage the Law of
Attraction so we can attract more of what we DO
want and enjoy. The three steps are
simply:
1) Become very
clear about what you DO want.
2) Raise your
internal vibration, through removing doubts and
fears, so you are a vibrational match for your
desire.
3) Allow your
desire to come to you.
Much has been
written already about the first two steps. But
how do we "allow" -- what do we need to do to
actually receive what we so clearly desire, yet
do not have?
Recently, I
had a nice experience of what it feels like to
"allow." I've been noticing that my office
wastebasket is inadequate and it spills over too
often. It is just a little eight-inch sea-grass
basket and it barely holds two days worth of
opened envelopes and crumpled paper. After
months of mentally complaining about its lack of
capacity, I finally asked myself, "So, what kind
of wastebasket would I like?"
I began to
imagine a sleek, black, matte finish wastebasket
about 15 inches high with a 12 inch diameter
top, and tapered at the bottom. Yes, that would
be adequate for a week's worth of trash from my
office and it would look professional alongside
my other black office accessories.
Next I
collected data on possible wastebaskets. For
about a week, every time I entered a building
that might have my ideal wastebasket, I looked
for it. I found step-on aluminum cans -- no, I
didn't want to step on anything. I found black
plastic trash bins with swivel lids -- no, I
didn't want a swivel lid -- I wanted an open
receptacle so I can toss paper into it. I found
black trash cans on wheels, but they were too
industrial looking. I found ceramic pots that
were almost right, but they were too heavy to
empty out. I was noticing the price range went
from $18.99 to $49.99.
Finally, I let
it go. I told myself, "The right one will show
up." And it did.
I was at the
Hudson Bay Store, here in Victoria, BC, making a
purchase when I decided to cash-in some of my
"Reward Points" for a gift certificate. I had
NEVER thought about cashing-in Reward Points
before- - it had never occurred to me to do so.
I took the elevator to the fifth floor and while
a delightful young lady at the Reward Counter
prepared my gift certificate, my eye scanned
across the isle. There I noticed A BLACK
WASTEBASKET, just the size and shape I had
pictured in my imagination. With gift card in
hand, I swiftly crossed the isle and lifted the
basket. "Ah, it is made of felt-board and is
very lightweight. Matte black finish with
nail-head trim. About 14 inches high and 12
inches in diameter and tapered at the bottom.
Very professional looking." I turned the basket
upside-down to read the price: "$16.99." Very
good! With my gift certificate in hand I
proceeded to the checkout stand. When the clerk
scanned the price, she gasped and asked me, "How
much do you think this costs?"
"Well, the
sticker says '$16.99'."
She was
shaking her head in disbelief as she replied,
"It's on sale for $5.00."
"Five
dollars?" I asked, in complete
surprise.
"Five
dollars," she repeated.
"I'll pay cash
and save my gift certificate!"
Can you
imagine the joy I felt at that moment? Not only
was the price right, but the manner in which my
exact desire had come to me was absolutely
delicious!
"Allowing" is
simply the old adage: "Let go, and let God."
It's "detachment from the outcome." More like
"detachment from forcing something to
happen."
Allowing is
truly letting the Law of Attraction bring your
desire into your sphere in its own time, place
and manner. Allowing doesn't mean getting second
best. It means allowing the Law of Attraction to
bring your exact desire in the BEST way
possible.
Is there
something you are not allowing through trying to
make it happen or by wanting it a certain way or
at a certain time? Let it go. Believe that the
Law of Attraction WILL bring it to you in the
perfect time and the perfect way. Believe it
because that IS the law.
