Here’s a little story that you might find interesting.

Yesterday morning, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I didn’t want to go to work, I didn’t want to take out the dog, I didn’t want to do… anything. I picked a fight with my wife about money and bills (it’s an easy subject when I’m itching for a confrontation), made her take the dog out, and got off to work about a half hour late.

I was definitely not going with the flow.

After being at work for a bit, I recognized that I didn’t want to fight with my wife. So I called her to apologize… and ended up picking a fight AGAIN… AGAIN about the money and the bills! Of course, it was all her fault (that’s sarcasm now, but how I felt yesterday).

After that one, I headed outdoors and sat down in the sun for a bit. I remembered how Abraham talks about what we are like when we are in Step One – we are banging around with negativity, and that is how we ask.

There are three steps to the Creative Process: Step One, you don’t have to worry about; contrast makes you take that step. Contrast causes you to desire or focus, or prefer. Step Two, not your work, anyway. Source and all of the resources of Source answer your request. That’s that vibrational alignment. That’s that one point of vibrational relativity that happens instantaneously.

So, your only work is Step Three. And Step Three is: Can I find a thought right now that feels a little better than the thought I’ve been thinking? That’s all Step Three is. Finding a thought that causes me to feel a vibration (or a feeling) of relief. So, there is allowing of what I want, or disallowing of what I want. There is allowing of what I want, or resisting what I want. You are either practicing the art of allowing, or the art of resisting. When you’re forking off toward things you want, you’re practicing the art of allowing. When you’re forking off to things you don’t want, you’re practicing the art of resistance. And every day, and every moment of your life experience is a perfect reflection of how you’ve been forking. (Good.)

I recognized that I was in Step One. I asked myself just what it was that I was asking for.

1.) A harmonious, peaceful relationship with my wife.
2.) Enough money to pay the bills on time.

I worked with the affirmation I’ve been using, and added to it my desire for my relationship with my better half to be harmonious and peaceful.

I got myself centered.

When I walked back into the store, I heard a song start to play on the PA system…

I stopped dead in my tracks and listened… I couldn’t believe it…

It was Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield.

So?

That song has a special significance to me. While I’d heard it often, I never really listened to it until Vickie of Contemplate This used it as her pick for Hilda Carroll’s Songs That Make Your Heart Sing game. Vickie even made a mind movie using the song.

And I honestly don’t think I’ve ever heard the song playing in our store.

It was like the Universe was telling me that I was back on track.

I called my wife again and really apologized for my behavior. I didn’t pick another fight.

The rest of the day was fantastic: peaceful and productive, just the way I like it! :)

Even if you discount the coincidence of that song coming on for the first time in the store right then, it’s still amazing how a couple of blog posts from a few months back could help me do such a complete about face when it comes to my attitude after such a rough morning.

It tells me that the best really is still unwritten.
