And voila! the space became available. I've done this for taxis also, and it's worked so many times!! <BR/><BR/>Why haven't i done this for a beautiful new car or home? Am I thinking small, or feeling that there's a limit to the size of these 'miracles'? I think that's what I do, I'm thinking small, and considering that there's a difference between asking for a parking space, and a private jet. Don't know why I think small, maybe it seems like i'm trying to move mountains and don't have that much oomph. haha<BR/><BR/>I ask for a private fleet of jets, and to have a wonderful home in Greece, and a beautiful apartment in New York, and a gorgeous new car to replace the one that's in the shop, on it's last legs!! :) <BR/><BR/>Where would you like to go? I've got a charter airline coming, and would love to share complimentary trips on them wiht everyone here!!!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228571168792199688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-25137579971975190262009-02-11T21:12:00.000-06:002009-02-11T21:12:00.000-06:00One of the things I've noticed in going through th...One of the things I've noticed in going through this book again - slowly - is how much time he spends convincing the reader that (A) It's OK to be rich, and (B) that it CAN be done if only we will just believe it and begin to DO it. <BR/><BR/>And Karla - I understand that "info-mercial" resistance. If at the end of his pitch, we were going to be asked to invest money - well - that would be a totally different story, and not something we'd even be exploring here.<BR/><BR/>In times past I have mostly skipped through this part.... and it occurs to me that it might be one of the most important parts! I think that by not really buying into the idea that I DESERVE to be rich - and particularly since I seem to have bought heavily into the idea that what I DESERVE is to be punished - I right away undermine all chance of success.<BR/><BR/>Believing that I deserve it - believing that unlimited potential - unlimited means, is the TRUTH of my reality - that IS the hard part.<BR/><BR/>I hope I can do it!<BR/><BR/>As for the question: <EM>What if we actually come across valuable knowledge and a true miracle? If we are always skeptical, will we recognize the gift when we receive it? </EM> That is an excellent question - one that I don't know the answer to! How much simpler to just see value in everything - to be willing to see the miracle when it occurs instead of looking for the "trick"!Shirley Twofeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911925862486389242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-73636081309985661042009-02-10T07:47:00.000-06:002009-02-10T07:47:00.000-06:00I think that "trust" is a good word here and perha...I think that "trust" is a good word here and perhaps in Mr. Wattles' day, it would not have been as relevant. As I am reading, I still feel this little nagging in the back of my head that whispers "Doesn't this sound like a late night info-mercial?" And then my openness to his plan is jaded. It's as if I don't TRUST already, and he hasn't even gotten to the good stuff! Of course I am willing, wholeheartedly to listen and try his plan! I'm just bummed that my attitude seems to be getting in the way...negative conditioning from sales people over the course of my life spewing the next "miracle". Isn't that terrible? What if we actually come across valuable knowledge and a true miracle? If we are always skeptical, will we recognize the gift when we receive it? Help! Any ideas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-13157644071064350372009-02-09T19:40:00.000-06:002009-02-09T19:40:00.000-06:00Okay I think that if I really felt for sure!!!! th...Okay I think that if I really felt for sure!!!! that something was going to work being hard would not be a deterrent. But as Two Feathers knows I have certain mental stumbling blocks with this book. I am trying to release them and be open to mr. wattles suggestions. I have come to realize that one major stumbling block is I don't trust things that are "given" to me, I have to "Pay" for it myself for it to be mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
