Today's the Day, Right Universe?

At the start of the week, I set the goal for myself of getting at least one referral by the end of the week. Seemed pretty reasonable to me. Just one. Nothing major.

Being a firm believer in the power of intention, the Law of Attraction and one's ability to manifest things through visualisation, I really put my energy into it.Each day, I would log in, expecting to see that one referral waiting for me....

Well, the weekend is almost here, and I'm still waiting, but that just means it's coming today, right?

So, I was driving along this morning, coming back from yet another job interview and anxious to get home, check my computer and find that referral waiting for me ( still not here, darn it), and I decided to try something that was suggested in one of the books by author Pam Grout (she wrote E-Squared, E-Cubed and Thank and Grow Rich, amoung other books). This particular experiment involves asking the universe to show you something that you don't normally see in your everyday life, like a butterfly, or something.

I asked to see an orange car. Why? Because I haven't seen an orange car in ages. There just don't seem to be any around where I live, so that was my request.

"Ok, Dude," I said (that's my name for the Universe, "Dude"), "I will be home in about 20 minutes. Before I get there, I want some proof-- a sign, if you will-- that you are hearing me. I want to see an orange car. Doesn't matter what kind of car. Let's even just say a vehicle. Maybe a van, or a truck, or maybe--"

I stopped short as I noticed a rusty orange car passing me.

"Oookay... Well, that... that doesn't count, Dude. That was rusty orange. I want a brighter orange! Show me a bright orange vehicle of some sort."

I continued driving for a little bit, keeping my eyes open for anything orange, but nothing came up. After a couple of minutes, I sighed and shook my head. "Well, Dude, looks like you're failing me. I can't really count that last one, You have to do better."

About ten second later, a truck passed me which was black and yellow-ish orange. I laughed and said "Ok, that was closer, but that's not a real orange either. I want a real orange orange. Not a rusty orange, not a yellow-orange. Orange-orange!"

Well, I drove another several minutes and again thought that I might be denied. Then, as I started to say "Dude, you're almost out of time," I glanced at a parking lot that I was passing and lo and behold, a bright orange car.

"Ok, well, there you go," I said. "Good job, Dude. Now I know you're listening. So, if you can send me something trivial like orange cars--3 of them, even-- then you can send me a referral. Just one to get started. To boost my spirits.C'mon, Dude. Send me a referrral."

I had quite the lengthy, albeit one-sided, conversation with the Dude on the way home, elaborating on exactly what I wanted and why, while explaining how I was doing my part to make it happen. As I exited the highway and approached the final few turns before my home, I was greeted by a large, bright orange, orange-orange truck.

"Ok, Dude. Now you're playing with me," I said and laughed.

So, if I can ask to see an orange car and am given 4, then certainly I can get one referral, right?

C'mon, Dude.

I love the narrative. Let us know when that referral shows up

Will do!

Great story. The orange cars appeared because that is what you were focused on. Nice job! Debbie

Yep. Now I just need to manage that same level of focus on the important things. Lol

Craig, to get what you want you to need a heart-mind connection.
It has to come from your heart, solar plexus what guides emotions and your head, not your head alone.I pm you a great link what I use and it works so many times.

Awesome. I will check it out. Maybe that's my issue.
I have said many, many times that I believe-- even know-- that the universe provides for us, but somehow I have an easier time applying that to other people, not myself.

In the past, any time I have had a real, desperate need, things just worked out at the right time, in the right way, so I know that anything is possible. I just have a bit of difficulty at times with manifesting certain things. If anything, I think it's a residual sense of not quite deserving more than the minimum...

I'm working on that, though.

LOL, well the Universe does have a sense of humor doesn't it. Praying you get your referral.

Dude''s listening. Maybe the universe is asking you to d something more to generate that lead. I mean, like you said, Dude gave you four orange cars just for the asking. Seems a little too easy.

I was laughing about it. It was kind of crazy.
On my end, I am doing what I can, and what I know to do, so... Here's hoping for a little external assistance. :)

Good point.

Trust me Craig, I do know how much work you put into getting that one conversion. But you know what they say... a watched pot never boils. Take your mind off it for a while and keep working at it. Then when it happens, it will come as a very pleasant surprise.

I love it!! I'm praying you get that referral! :)

Let's hope! I know it's coming. I just wish I had a bigger say in the timeline. Lol

I know where you're coming from Craig. I think I've done my part to make things happen and start growing. Now I just need to 'let go' a little bit and trust in the universe. Visualisation plays a major role for me too.

Yep. I'm trying to do my part and then get out of the way for the rest to happen.
Fingers crossed.

Hmmm asking too much from the Universe or why we are never happy?
Let us know when the referral gets on your mail box!

When it comes, I don't think anyone will NOT know. Lol

Plenty of time left for that today. Please post when that referral pops up

Thanks for sharing, Craig.
