I used to think that I walk fast – mostly because I would actually walk faster than those around me.
But, once I started my current job in downtown Phoenix, I started to think that I walk slowly – mostly because those around me walk faster than me.
Now, when I talk about the period in my life when I thought that I walked fast, I’m referring to what my perception was compared to other people around me. Mind you, though, this was the case in nearly all circumstances (barring some behemoth like Shaq walking next to me in his great, powerful, basketball-playing, 20 ft. strides) – who would, of course, fly past me, practically leaving me swirling around in his wake) all the way up until I started my job in downtown Phoenix.
Once I started working in downtown Phoenix, the trek from the parking garage at 2nd Ave & Van Buren to the office at 1st Ave & Washington occurred with all (and, I mean all) other trekkers zipping past me along the same route almost as though I were standing still. And, it’s happened like that to and from the parking garage every day, including today.
Mind you, I’m trying hard to work with the Law of Attraction in my life just like Jan Canfield, Joe Vitale and the rest of “The Secret” crew instruct us to do. I’ll admit that I haven’t yet tried actively thinking and feeling about how… oh, I dunno’ – “nice and brisk and refreshing and speedy…” walking from the parking garage to work at at least the same speed as everyone else on the sidewalk would be. I’ve, more or less, been strictly observing. (Although, I must admit, I do indulge in the occasional… okay, frequent bit of revelry when those who’ve zipped past me end up waiting for the same street light to change before we can continue our trek together… that is, until they zip away from me again.)
So, it begs the question – am I (1) walking slower now than I did before I started my downtown Phoenix job, (2) walking the same speed as always but the downtown Phoenicians are all track runners, (3) perceiving that I walk slowly only in comparison to those around me in downtown Phoenix versus in comparison to those around me everywhere except downtown Phoenix, (4) manifesting a state of slow walking or a state of being surrounded by super-speedy walkers (perhaps due to my rather strong feelings of revelry when they have to wait for the same light as me – snicker, snicker), or (5) completely off my rocker?
Before you jump for #5, consider this – my current Gratitude Statement (or Intention Statement) states that I own $25,000 on 12/10/08. I have been working hard (just like Wallace Wattles said I would need to do) every day for weeks to manifest my state of owning $25,000 on 12/10/08. Perhaps the Universe, in working to bring that state of owning $25,000 on 12/10/08 to me, has slowed down my walking speed so that I’ll meet the person, thing, or circumstance in downtown Phoenix that will give me the $25,000! HMM… think on that one for a while!
And, check back here on 12/10/08 – I will not be at all shy about telling the world that my first serious manifestation really came into my reality, my existence!! I can’t wait – it’s going to be so much FUN!!
Until then, I bid you success in your own manifestations and send you happy thoughts for your future.
