Have you ever recited Murphy’s Law: “Whatever can go wrong, will” ?

And its cousin, “When it rains it pours.”?

Both are pure anticipation – more accurately, expectation – that things will go awry if given the space.

Murphy’s Law is applied when you forget to bring your umbrella and it rains, when your toast falls peanut-butter side down on the floor and you have to go to the bathroom when you are furthest away from the cabin on your hike.  Murphy doesn’t only step in during inclement weather, while cooking or to play truth or dare with bodily functions, Murphy knows no boundaries.

Its cousin, the same.  Sometimes we can get away with things happening in threes and believing we’ve gotten off easy, and other times the bad news, mishaps, dangs, inconveniences and setbacks stream on until we surrender.

Strange that when things happen that makes us throw our hands up, sigh or go looking for Plan B, we accept them but when something good happens – even just one thing – we call it luck or a miracle!

If the world works in exact precision and us, being electromagnetic beings capable of communicating with every other living thing, influence happenstance, why, then, do we easily accept the setbacks as being normal and the victories as flukes?

Two years ago, I chose to assign a preconstruction condo that I had decided I no longer wanted to make my future home.  Not being able to list on MLS (against the contract with the builder), we took a safe and soft approach to advertising….but we weren’t getting bites. By late fall, the condo market had started to taper off and we dropped the price.  Still no bites.  I decided I wanted to go into the condo to get a feel for the physical space and view but being under construction, I thought I might get restricted.  I needed to find a way energetically.

I was at my desk on a Sunday, stood up and said, “Go now” and envisioned meeting someone in the parking lot who would let me into the building and that my unit would be open.

The only one other individual in the parking lot at the very moment I arrived happened to be a real estate lawyer who had just taken possession of his own unit and happily let me in.  We went to my unit together which was fully under construction yet fully accessible and had a fantastic conversation about the market, etc.  I got what I needed, and more, then went to work on the next piece of the puzzle.

With the market continuing to slide, the realtors were getting antsy that I might have to close on the unit myself. So, every single morning for four months, I went outside, read my “power life script” then ended in grateful thanks for my condo buyer appearing, holding a very clear vision of me handing over the keys, both of us being all smiles and everything working out perfectly.  It became so real I could feel it.

A few weeks before closing, the realtors were warning me to prepare to close because we did not have a deal in hand … then “she” showed up.  My buyer.  And she, being represented by the same real estate firm plus a series of mishaps with the builder, extended closing and gave us ample time and space to put our deal to bed with ease.

This all happened because I claimed in advance that my timing is impeccable.

The universe continues to deliver evidence to support that being truth.  Everything from a second real estate deal that was a bold risky move on my part that turned out to be one of the best financial decisions of my life, to recently acquiring a first-class provider to help with some detailed upcoming work, to so, SO many small things that happen almost daily because I claim that my timing is impeccable.

Aha! ~ You get what you expect

A few notable rules I’ve experienced with this Aha!

1. It doesn’t mean you get what you wish for, it means you get what you expect.  If your programming, conditioning, language and behaviour operate contrarily, you will not override expectation with wishing
2. What you expect may not always happen in the precise timing you choose.  You need to stay open, attentive and patient – ESPECIALLY patient – for when the universe gives you the nudge
3. You must have such a strong conviction that you no longer have to cite or request “it”, it’s a belief that is as natural as your fingerprint and that moves you in the direction of highest good systematically.

Become the being that is totally shocked when things don’t go as expected and humble enough to know that it’s not yet your time.

Become the being that controls what you can – your thoughts, feelings and behaviour – then allows the universe to hear your voice and lead you to highest good.

Become the being that exercises energetic influence and smiles knowing you’re standing in your true power.

BElieve in YOUrself

We tend to shy away from anything that contradicts our programming so when I share openly here, my experience with this single mantra and the success it brings ongoingly, it might be tough to swallow.  But that’s what we’re designed to do: create.  We’ll talk more about it in Human U.
