The basic principle of the Law of Attraction states that you just have to
«order» what you want, either being a relationship, a job, a house, money and so on, and wait for it to be delivered to your doorstep. People who use this principle on a daily basis to live their life know there is a lot more than what meets the eye, but yes it is basically like being at the restaurant and ordering a meal. Then you just sit back, relax and wait for it to come, knowing that it is on its way and without asking the waiter every 30s where it is. Of course the manifestation of a job opportunity, a romance or 1000 dollars takes longer than a sirloin steak (depending on the cooking you like of course), so some people, if not innate, have to learn the virtue that tends to disappear in a world where everything has to go fast: patience.
They say the best things come with patience, and I like to take the example of first love to illustrate how true it is. You are 15 and there is this person you like very much at school. You did not quite notice it at first but more and more, a warm feeling spreads into your body. You caught yourself fantasizing about this person, you woke up happy because you knew you would spend your day with this person within sight. Then your friend told you this person liked you too, and the game began. You sought the other person’s gaze, you showed off to get attention, you flirted. You wanted on many occasions to move forward but there was something you liked in this seduction game. You liked to dream about this person, to imagine how it would be being together and making memories, and you would grow in this warm feeling, until the first kiss. This first magical kiss you had waited for so long and had fantasized about a thousand times, that kiss that felt so right at that moment, causing your heart to beat really fast and hundreds of butterflies to invade your belly. And in your mind, the first kiss would never have tasted better than at that moment, because it was the perfect moment, the perfect timing, you were ready. You were patient, you did not rush things, you did not work too hard to make it happen. You wanted it, and it happened, just at the best moment.
Now your first kiss is years ago, you ordered this thing dear to your heart, and after days, weeks or months of unwavering patience, and you get the first signs of your wish coming true. It is working! But, instead of being over the moon and keeping the warm feeling going, you get impatient. Why? You dreamt about it, fantasized about it, hoped for it for such a long time, now you have the proof that it is coming but not fully delivered yet, and you do not want to wait any more. When you are on the brink, it is when the hard part begins. Signs you saw are just giving you the message that it is working (a job offer out of the blue during a conversation, an invitation for a date, an unexpected amount of money on your bank account, etc.), but you need to wait a little more now. I know, it is like waiting for your well done sirloin and they give you a salad to let you know it will come shortly but it is still in the kitchen. And what do you do? Yes, you eat the salad and wait for the rest, you know it will not be long now. I know, we are talking about food, not about your sweet desires, but it works the same way!
It is in human nature to get impatient, as we are used to getting everything in an instant thanks to technologies, innovation, etc. But when it comes to your life, your dreams, your desires, don’t you think you can use the extra time to really be sure of what you want, to get into the details of this desire until you are ready to receive it fully? Enjoy the wait, be this 15-year-old dreaming about this first kiss…
