Iām a firm believer in the Law of Attraction and āwhat we think, we createā. I also struggle with knowing what I want and believing IĀ can somehow achieve it ā I get caught up in the āhowā of it all.
One of the things Iāve known (or said) Iāve wanted ā for about a decade ā is a mini cooper. In all honesty, I didnāt reallyĀ fully participate in the manifestation of said car. I worshiped from afar. I never took one for a test drive, so I didnāt even know if I would enjoy driving it, I didnāt put a picture of one on any of my (many) vision boards, when my son showed me all the āgood dealsā he found online I thought about how expensive they were, how I couldnāt afford it, how it wasnāt the right time.
Iāve been driving my moms hand-me-down cavalier (which Iāve never been in love with, but have gratitude for because itās been a reliable companion ā Thank You!) for about 15 years. It had less than fourty thousand km on it when I got it so it made sense to keep driving it, and the price was right ā $0. so that also put the mini on the back burner.
I think it was about two years ago, I threw a number out to the universe and I told my kids when the car hit one hundred thousand km it was time for a new car, thatās when Iād get my mini (or something better). I remember it feeling like a safe number because I donāt drive much and there might have been seventy thousand km on it at the time. It took the pressure off and I just went about my life, still worshiping the mini but doing nothing about it.
Recently my sons car was stolen so he has been borrowing my car because with him being in college and delivering for living he needed wheels. Iād been toying with the idea of finding an inexpensive little car for me and passing the cavalier on to him since heās been working so hard.
Fast forward to last weekendā¦motherās day. My baby boy is driving and as we were passing a car lot I looked over to see if there was a mini to test drive or an inexpensive little something for me to look at. Then I said wishfully āmaybe you should start looking for a mini for me againā. He laughed and said, āOh, did you look at the odometer?ā I hadnāt but when I did it was at 99 something! We had a good laugh and I said Iād better get moving on it or something to that effect.
I get to work yesterday morning and weāre all sharing how our weekends are. I tell my story about asking my son to start looking for a mini againā¦and one of my co-workers says there is one for sale in the parking lot! I know exactly which one it is and who it belongs to ā I go ask her about it and she letās me have it for a steal because she got a great deal on her new one!
When sharing the news with my son later in the day he laughed and told me my car was only 123 km away from hitting the 100 000 km mark. Now thatās amazing!
So Voila!!!Ā I am now the proud owner of the cutest little mini cooper! I feel like itās the perfect transition car for me ā I donāt have a huge loan to pay off, itās older so my insurance isnāt through the roof and it gives me the chance to see if itās something I would want to invest in in the future when I do have the means to buy a new car.
This little lesson reminded me to put a tangible time frame on my goals and not stress about how itās going to work out.Ā Iām also toying with the idea of making the odometer my measure for everything I want to manifest ā I think the first thing will be to recoup the $ās I spent to buy and insure my new little blue beauty!
MuckenAround with theĀ LOA I'm a firm believer in the Law of Attraction and "what we think, we create". I also struggle with knowing what I want and believingā¦
