Hello creative souls

I would like to share two experiences I've had that made me wonder a bit.

I run an IT company and completion of certain projects is depended upon our partners.
In this particular case, our partner from UK has not been real speedy and darker thoughts started to come to my mind (you know, the "lack" stuff...).
But when I opened up a bit and let my CMI shine through, my mood changed and guess what?
In the next minute I checked status of this project online and it was completed!

Now, my question (to myself or to you )is:
did I really caused the creation of this or I just synchronized into the success?

Second example:

There is a natural gas equipment installed in our house. For hot water, heat in winter etc...
And that particular piece of machinery went south all of the time. The repair guy was here at least 7 times in a last 8 months.

And the other day my wife called the company again and the guy showed up. He was eager to repair the machine, commenting along how unlucky we all are with this thing.
He replaced some parts, to no avail.

And, while I was in the living room I caught myself thinking it is not our fate to have a really smoothly running natural gas equipment.
And I changed my mentality straight away, in a second.

And you know what?
The repair guy fixed the "unfortunate" machine and it is working now, no problems.

Again, my question is:
Would the machine be repaired if I hadn't had the change of heart/thoughts?


Thank you for reading and God bless.

Greetings Speed!

Firstly, congrats on your marvelous positive outcomes!

My first reaction to both of your examples is that your change in outlook may have PREVENTED you from taking any UNnecessary action in either case that might have delayed your positive result. Your change in outlook may have also opened you up to noticing the positive outcome much more quickly than you might have before.

IMHO, it's always more constructive to think of using the SOGR principles to affect OURSELVES rather than others, so we never get tempted into thinking that we are controlling or otherwise manipulating others, which we aren't.

(Let me edit in one more note: Since the Universe is abundant and working in our favor always, our change in outlook to accept this truth puts us in cooperation, or flow, with the benevalent Universe.)
Just my thoughts...

Does it really matter? Seems like, in the end you got what you wanted & everyone involved in each transaction benefited (you got your pump fixed, the repairman got some business & your family lives in comfort!)

Sounds like someone was acting & thinking in the 'certain way'. If I were you, I'd find out who that person was & make him/her my new best friend!

Hi Jan

Yes, you are right, it doesnt really matter. Results are here, and I am happy for it...

...and grateful.


All good!

Speed, it doesn't matter in terms of your gratitude and appreciation for the outcome.

It DOES matter in terms of what you do next.

How about you just keep playing with this, experimenting with focusing on what you want and see what further results come to you?

After all, that's the ONLY way you'll ever REALLY know.
