It happens all the time. I get that thought, “I want (what that other person has)! Why don’t I have that?”

A day later it drops into my lap.

Let me give you some background:

In 2007 a friend of mine was being interviewed on ABC-TV. I immediately went into envy mode. I whined to myself, “I want to do that!”

The next morning I got a call: one of their guests had a last minute conflict, and I ended up taking their place on the interview.

But really, this happens ALL THE TIME.  I’m thinking about why this works…

Shouldn’t whining and envy and self-pity be low vibration and repellant?

Apparently not!

I think, perhaps, it works because

• I don’t obsess about this stuff.

• It plants an idea in my head of what’s possible.

• And the I DON’T WORK AT IT!

All I have to do is whine, resent that I don’t have something too, then MOVE ON.

And then be ready to do whatever must be done when the opportunity arises, but in the meanwhile focus on other stuff.

I think the magic is in the “moving on” part….

This approach hasn’t worked with romance, however. If it had, I’d be dating Clive Owen.
