Gratitude, Prosperity & Positive Overload?

When I first became aware that what I thought seemed to materialize in my life,  I was quite nonchalant about it.  In my way of thinking it was just something I had chosen for myself and eventually, whether with my action or not, it seemed to always show up and usually just when I was able to accept it into my life with ease and gratefulness.  It never occurred to me that this didn't seem to happen to everyone.  I didn't realize that perhaps I was a bit more unique (odd?) than my friends who neither believed in what I believed in and didn't believe that what they thought could impact their lives in both negative and positive ways.

Believe and it can be

My very first experience with the "Believe, Conceive, Achieve" experience of today was way back when I was about 16.  While walking along a road with my cousin one day, we happened to pass a house where a bunch of guys were outside working.  One guy had his shirt off and was nicely tanned, with blondish brown hair.  I'd never met the guy before and knew nothing about him but I pointed to him and said to my cousin, "Someday, I'm going to marry that guy!"  She laughed of course, not taking me seriously and actually I don't think I was serious either...but a year later I met this fellow at a New Years Eve party and we hit it off.  Of course I think the long hair and John Lennon glasses may have had something to do with my attraction to him. Two weeks later though he seemed to lose interest so as I always did, I said goodbye, see you around, let's still be friends.  Two years later he met me at a dance  and two years after that, we were married.

After we had been married for about 6 years we decided on a spur of the moment to move to another city that was about 2 hours from where we had built our home.  With no job prospects in that city and no idea why we were really moving we went to the city for a trip to visit relatives.  While there we drove by a set of octagon high rise buildings and I pointed to one of the buildings and said, "One day we're going to live there."  Just prior to our moving to the city, we saw a job advertised in the paper.  We applied for it and ended up getting it.  It was for a couple to take over the Resident Manager duties at the very high rise I had pointed to and said we would live in.  We lived on the 18th floor of that building and boy was the view fabulous!

Then, several months later, as we drove by a building that housed a local Cable company, I pointed to the building and told my husband, "Someday I'm going to work there!" Of course he laughed, as did I.  Oddly enough within 4 weeks I was indeed working there.  I remained there for a few years until one day I decided I wanted to get hired by a local Embassy.  Of course, by now you know how that went...yes, I was hired by the Embassy of my choice and remained with them for several years.
