Tell the Universe What You Want


I am not a very spiritual person, although I am working on it.

My husband and I have had our house on the market, because we want to move to California to be near our family.  Our second six-month contract just ended with a realtor with exactly ONE person looking at the house in all that time.  Until a couple weeks ago, I was pretty down it.

I was talking with a friend – who also happens to be very spiritual and a therapist.  We were discussing the slow housing market, and I mentioned that when we do move to California, it will be more difficult for us financially.  California is more expensive in most things - food, real estate, gasoline – than in the area of Arizona in which I currently live.

For my friend, it was an “aha” moment.  She said, “Don’t you see?  That is why your house has not yet sold.  You are not yet prepared to live in California.  Once your business grows more, you will be able to afford it easier, and then your house will sell.”

Initially I just chuckled, but it did get me to thinking.  We’re making a decent living now, our bills are always paid on time, we always have food on the table, but we sometimes run a little short for “entertainment.”  Right now, it would be much more difficult to pay the higher cost of living in California.  I accepted that fact as true, and relaxed about our house not selling.  I decided at that moment that when the time is right, the house will sell.

It was only two days later that my business picked up - dramatically.  In fact, in the past two weeks, I have added more team members to my Xpress Healthcare business than I have in ages.  If I recruit only two more team members this month – with today being only the 10th of the month – I will break my all-time record, possibly even a company record!  My team members have been signing new team members in higher numbers as well, which of course, increases my income.

I have put no more effort into my work than usual.  In fact, training all the new people has kept me from promoting my business hardly at all.  And yet, people are contacting me and joining my team.  I do not call prospects.  They call me.  I give no presentations, because my websites do it for me.

I can think of some logical reasons that new team members are joining at a record pace.  Prospects like some recent changes we’ve made in the company.  Kids are back in school.  Vacations are finished for the summer.  They all make sense and certainly may be contributing to my increased Xpress Healthcare business.  

However, it may well be more than a coincidence of timing.  It may be the knowledge that I want to move to California, but I cannot afford it right now; therefore, my mindset is different, influencing how I am working without even knowing I am doing so.  Yes, I choose the reason to be the latter, and I am excited to see how many new team members my colleagues and I can continue to bring onboard.  Maybe there is something to this “Tell the Universe What You Want” theory.
