Have you ever picked up your iPod or turned on the radio (or TV) and the exact thing you needed to hear was playing right then?
That’s what just happened to me.
Earlier today, I had been listening to an interview and then I went on to my day’s work. Hours later, I picked up my iPod to go for a walk before it got dark. And I noticed it was playing….
Apparently I had forgotten to turn it off, and with the earphones you don’t hear it playing unless you’re pretty close (at least not at the volume that I tend to use).
I checked and it was playing Dr. Robert Anthony’s ” Allowing vs. Resisting” from his “The Science of Deliberate Creation” program.
It was EXACTLY what I needed to hear right then and there, so I listened to it several time, during my entire walk. Right now, I’m listening to the next segment.
It’s not that I didn’t know this information. I HAVE listened to his program before, and, of course, I have listenend to dozens of Abraham CDs. I’ve read a bunch of books, from Joe Vitale’s to Michael Losier’s books, plus Abraham books, and so on.
Still, it helps to be reminded occasionally that the way to create change is to focus on what we do want and not on what we do not want.
So now I’m doing just that 😉
But isn’t it funny how life sometimes puts things in front of us with perfect timing? Coincidence? I think not.
Here’s another interesting incident I remember from quite a few years back — back when I was getting a lot of my info by way of listening to tapes on my car stereo.
One day, I was driving along and when I arrived at my destination and turned off the ignition, the last thing Roger Mellott said on his “Stress Skills for Turbulent Times” Tape was “Do what you say you value.”
This, he said, was the ultimate key to stress reduction.
Now I had listened to this tape quite a number of times, but I had never noticed this particular phrase. But now, with it being the very last thing before I turned the key, it practically boomed in my brain. And I spent a lot of time over the following few weeks thinking about what I needed to change in my life to get into better alignment in terms of how I spent my time.
So I believe that obviously these things are not coincidences. In some way, we attract what we need to hear, at last if we pay attention.
And so, today, I am going to pay attention to Dr. Robert Anthony. It’s time to get back to focusing on what I DO want, and to finding joy in every moment.
May our days be filled with joy and serendipity.
