Day 31

Bright and sunny, always help to get a good start for any day. Sun invoke and elevates something inside our system giving us absolute joy and freshness; it’s a very subtle feeling and could only be experienced if we take a minute, take a breath and absorb the light.

I was having a tête-à-tête with myself and with the sole intention to challenge myself I asked me, what would be your ultimate dream or wish Sonya? Honestly I’m not very much of a spendthrift but it was a challenge so I decided that I should give it ago. I have 2 rather 1 ultimate dreams/wishes. Primary and the most significant wish is to have peace, love and joy for myself, my family and friends and for everyone around me. Seeing people happy and healthy just makes my joy multiplied by tenfold. And now the secondary wish is to have at least 8-10 bedroom house in Switzerland it can be in Geneva, Bern or Zurich for my family vacations. Having said it aloud, my mom got a bit concerned for my mental health but tried her best not to explicitly express it.

Maybe that’s our problem we get scared on even dreaming big and then our fears eat up most of the dream which consequently results in nullity. Our issue is not that we ask for too much our issue lies in the fact that we ask for too little. Then further limiting thoughts poured in, like I got to be a future Prime Minister or a President or some A+ Hollywood actor or a smuggler in order to realize my dream. More so because we are inclined to have negative thoughts about money; for instance money is evil- money can come to you only by wrong means- all rich people are bad and ruthless- what do you think money grows on trees- rich get richer and poor gets poorer and the list could go on and on.

I believe nothing is either large or small, it’s our own mental limitations that cause the hindrance. I guess some of us does not have the guts to ask for wonderful stuff. I came across my limited thinking almost seven years ago when a Senior lawyer, I highly regard, and with whom I did my internship as a lawyer asked me out of blue that what would I do if I have a 4000 square yards house-cum-mansion. I thought that 1000 is great 2000 is enough but 4000. I could not grasp the question let alone gave an intelligent reply and then out of sheer stupidity I said Sir how on earth I would be able to maintain such a huge place. He looked at me and said, if you are blessed with the power to buy a mansion then you would also have the resources to get the required domestic help. I looked at him as if he was an alien who just walked out of his UFO. Well, we never discussed that issue again-period.

I did not understand why did he ask that peculiar question but somehow it got stuck in mind. Now after 6-7 years I am able to clearly see my limiting thought patterns, this is not merely limited to money but it extends to every aspect of our lives, ironically.

I’m so thankful to God for blessing us with people like Oprah Winfrey because of whom I got information about The Secret, Eckhart Tolle and Marianne Williamson and my own shortcomings and the desire to change my weakness into my strengths.

Today’s blog is getting larger than I thought but still I want to share a personal experience about desires/ law of attraction/ intentions.

I stopped at a supermarket to get some goodies for my friend’s mom, I saw tons of dry fruit jars and decided to get one but there was an intense desire to buy one for Maa as well. I was in a hurry and so didn’t have the time to select another out of the dozen flavors and types; anyways, I gave the one I bought and within few hours completely forgot that I wanted to get the same stuff for Maa. Few days later when I again visited aunty, to my surprise she apologetically returned me the sealed, packed and unused Dry fruit jar because during that time she was diagnosed with Diabetes and couldn’t take the risk with creamy buttery fried nuts in her vicinity. I understood her dilemma, and since we knew each other for almost 11 years so there were absolutely no formalities between our families, plus she is like a mom to me. On my way home as I looked at that dry fruit jar it suddenly came to me almost as if I have been struck by lightening that I got this jar back because that’s what I wanted, of course I never desired the same jar. As the genie says that your wish is my command. Ecstatic but apprehensive of my power, I smiled and thanked Lord.

I guess we can safely conclude that the same principle applies to all things we desire whether tangible or intangible. A sincere, profound and intense wish devoid of any negativity or limited thinking is the key. Size does not matter. I got what I wanted so easily only because I did not attach any negativity or notion of impossibility with it, just one positive and sincere thought is all what it takes; Coincidence, Serendipity by whatever name you would like to call it occurs as a natural phenomena. We need at all times to keep in mind that there are no coincidences everything happen because at some point either consciously or sub-consciously we wanted it to happen.

So keep on dreaming and loving my friends…..

Sonya.
