I’m sitting in row 20 seat E.  That’s the middle seat at the back of the plane.  This morning, not knowing what seat my assistant had booked me for this trip I wrote in my intentions, rather spontaneously, “I am so thankful to the universe for providing me with first class seats on the way up and back to Seattle this week… or something better!”

This isn’t normally something I spend too much time manifesting as I practice being in a state of Ridiculous Bliss where ever I am, regardless of the circumstances.  But I know what my clients would say, “Where is your manifesting now, Mr. Smarty Pants?”  The answer is easy and complex.

The easy answer is that something better is on its way and at this very moment I have no idea what it is.  The complex answer is that this situation is apparently better for all.  Now that I say it, I can see that I am writing about this experience, which is a contribution to the global understanding of The Law of Attraction and the power to manifest.  It’s also giving me a a chance to be in a state of perfection as I’m squished into my seat, elbows tucked tightly into my sides computer screen tilted slightly down so that I can barely see it because the person in front of me has their seat all the way back.

The complex answer is that I cannot possibly understand the state of perfection that I’m in.  The Drunk Monkey in my head has only my five senses to bring in information to which it correlates its past experiences and comes up with a hypothesis, a hallucination about what this moment is and what it will be.  The truth is much broader and more expansive then I could ever possibly imagine.  The Drunk Monkey can only speculate that because its expectations have been broken and that the seat is less comfortable then other seating arrangements, that something must be wrong and NOW is not good.

If I allow The Drunk Monkey to run the show I don’t feel good.  Instead, I  meditate, focus on what I’m grateful for, appreciate the design of the plane, appreciate the backs of the heads that I can see, notice how interesting the two very “engrossed in their own stuff” people are to my left and right.  I will find the joy in this moment via the most powerful state I know… Appreciation.  When I stay committed to being in a good place no matter what the circumstances are, everything turns out better than The Drunk Monkey could have imagined.

It’s ridiculous.

Can you attract millions of dollars? Yes!

Two days ago, out of the blue my dad brought two iPad one’s over, out of the blue, to give to my middle boys.  He had just bought himself and his wife iPad twos.  When he arrived he realized it would create a conflict as my eldest boy felt left out.  So he offered to buy him a new one.  I intervened and suggested that my eldest boy should get my iPad one and asked if he would buy me the iPad 2.  Done.  Completely unexpected.  Completely fantastic.  Totally generous on his part.  Needless to say… check it off the list.  You never know how or when or why.  The key was appreciation.

What’s on your list?

The other day my new neighbors told us to come and meet them at the beach.  New to the area they picked the busiest beach with the biggest parking problem.  My wife imediately declined forcasting the issue.  I happily agreed and my two youngest boys were game too.  We left about an hour after they did which meant we were going to have to find them in the middle of the summer weekend chaos of Newport Peir.  On the way there I asked the boys to visualize a parking spot that made us all laugh at how perfect it was.  Then see us lazily walking up to the beach and magically happening upon our neighbors.  Secretly I knew the odds of either happening were very very very small.  But I put that Drunk Monkey talk aside and worked to get into a completely neutral state.  If it happened great, if not we would go to another beach with better parking.

We circled the small parking lot several times which took us nearly 30 minutes.  My 8 year old was starting to get annoyed and began complaining that we should just go to the next beach.  I told him to take a deep breath and watch his movie.  5 minutes later we pulled into an amazing spot, right in front.  We all laughed as envisioned.  Then walking to the beach we turned a corner to head onto the beach and who was standing there about to step foot on the beach themselves?  Our neighbors.

Moral of the story.  Create a back up plan that will fulfill your objective in a different way so that you aren’t attached.  Relax, take deep breaths and invest the time needed.  The more times we circled the parking lot, the better our odds.  The Law of Attraction concept is all about your attitude towards the circumstances leading up to the fulfillment of your desire.

By action you receive it. To obtain your goal is when what you think what you say and what you do are in harmony.”

The event went fabulously because we pre paved it with our positive expectations and words of affirmation.

We were flying Southwest Airlines home which means we needed to check in early if we wanted to choose great seats.  When we arrived at the airport I jokingly said to alex, ”Ouch!  We forgot to check in early.  So we are going to be crammed into the back of the plane!”

To our delight we were some of the first passengers to check in and got an A boarding pass. But our flight was massively delayed. We decided to sit in the cafe and do work on our laptops while waiting for our plane to arrive. After working in a trance for a few hours I look at my clock and was shocked to realize that our flight was leaving in 20 minutes!  We jumped up from our seats and literally ran to our gate knowing that most airlines close the boarding process 15 minutes before the plane is scheduled to leave. To our chagrin everyone was already on the plane and my negative affirmation came true.

The moral of the story?  The universe wants to please you. It wants you to live life exactly as you please. Which means you posses the free will to screw yourself over if you so choose.

Be careful what you affirm because it’s going to happen.

One said, “I’m non committal” This is a false statement. You aren’t anything until you declare it. You might have moments when you can’t decide and then there are other times when you can. A more powerful way to say this is, “Right now I seem to be having troubles deciding. But I know that my lack of clarity will give way to clarity and again. In the mean time I’m simply going to be open to all the aspects of life that will come to help me choose.”

Another said, “I just can’t” Totally false. It’s not that you can’t. It is that you won’t. Better to be honest, “Right now I don’t wan to to do this. I know it’s important but I just don’t feel like doing anything about it. I’ve been in this place before an I know that my inspiration will return and I will finally get into action. If not, I will simply recognize that I don’t want to take the action and cancel my promise to do so.”

Someone said, “I don’t do that” Not true. You don’t want to do that. Its not that you don’t, as it you can’t. It is that you won’t as in you don’t want to.

So often our language implies that there are forces greater then ourselves dictating our choices and behavior. Sorry. Not true. The responsibility for you life lies squarely on your shoulders. Enjoy that power.

“The reason you want every single thing that you want, is because you think you will feel really good when you get there. But, if you don’t feel really good on your way to there, you can’t get there. You have to be satisfied with what-is while you’re reaching for more.”

— Abraham
