Yesterday I was running a series of errands. I am in Dallas, Texas area and the temperature was well over 100 degrees. My goal was to finish and get home as soon as possible.
Twice I passed a roadside sign that read “Estate Sale”. At the last moment I decided to stop and check it out.
I cruised around the home and spotted several items similar to what I own and this reminded me to stop buying anything unless I absolutely love and adore it. Otherwise my family will have strangers going through my stuff one day.
Back to the point. I spotted an item I wanted to buy. I said out loud, I wonder if they would take a certain amount of money off this item. A lady in the room says to me, tomorrow we will have half price on everything at noon, today everything is full price. I had the money to purchase the item, infact I could have purchased the item new if I chose to do so.
The moment she said come back tomorrow I visualized myself coming around the corner and seeing the item waiting for me to buy. I smiled and walked out of the room.
The next day this is what happened. I thought about going back at noon but got busy. I looked at the clock at 12:02 and decided to go and buy the item I wanted. I walked into the house smiling and knowing my item was there. I went into the room and around the corner was the item I wanted standing proud and waiting for me. Hundreds of people passed that item and no one picked it up. It was mine when I smiled and walked out of that room the day before.
I loved doing that. I said my gratitudes many times. It was such a small thing but it made me so happy. This works for big and huge things as well. Why not? Try it and become a believer.–
Honor Yourself!
