These Boots Were Made For Manifesting…

What do those words “boots” and “manifesting” have to do with each other?  I won’t obviously give you the answer to that question.  It will be revealed in the brief story below.

A very dear friend of mine told me the very jovial and humorously true story about how she was able to purchase a pair of boots that she really liked.  However, she didn’t have any money.  As a matter of fact, she’s been living for the last 3 or so months collecting employment insurance benefits as a result of being one of the employees in a mass layoff… something that’s happening in astounding numbers across our very “rich” nation.

One could see her situation as bleak, scary or hopeless, but I was quite delighted to learn what she decided to do during this trying time.

To make herself feel really good, she decided to “splurge” by going window shopping.  But instead of standing outside of the window of the department store she decided to visit, she went inside and took in the sights, sounds and emotions of being in the shoe section of the store.  This in and of itself brought a surge of excitement to her.

She wanted to literally feel what it was like to wear the shoes that she set her sights on.  She tried on pair after pair of boots and shoes.  Notwithstanding the work of the shoe salesman, she continued to indulge in her fantasy, but real, shoe shopping spree!

Her pockets were empty, but she was filling herself up with the energy of “having it now.”  She set her heart upon one pair of very stylish boots (I can’t even lie!!!  I want those boots too!!!–lol).  She liked the boots so much, that after about 2 hours of trying on shoes, she asked the tired, and now frustrated salesman to hold the boots for her.

Although she knew that she had no money and no way of earning any money to purchase the boots within 24 hours, she still asked him to hold them (24 hours is the limit that particular store is willing to keep an item off the floor).

She even took it a step further.  She didn’t simply let the 24 hours expire without the chance of her getting the boots.  She made it a priority to call the store every day after that and request the boots be held until she was able to purchase them.

Not sure where the money would come from or how long it would take before she would have the money in hand to actually buy them, She was determined to have them, and never entertained the thought of not having them for long.

The entire process was exciting and wonderful for her.  She thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the shopping trip although she left with no shoes or boots physically in her hand.  She simply left with the very “real” experience of “having the boots now!” with no disappointment or sadness.  Just wonderful, good feeling emotions & lots of smiles.

Shortly after creating this experience for herself, an angel showed up who voluntarily decided to give her a gift of a little cash specifically for the boots.

Do you recognize the essential steps she took to manifest the boots with no money and no clue of where the money was coming from?

• She had a very strong desire to feel good
• She took inspired action to make herself feel good
• During the action, she created a very “real” experience of what it was like to have what she desired “now.”
• She only entertained thoughts of “having” and not so much “wanting,” but “having already.”
• She believed she would have what she desired.
• She didn’t stop.  She continued to take action.

As the law of attraction would see fit, she was energetically aligned with having the boots, and thus she was drawn to the resource to help manifest the boots.

The six bullets above can be applied to ANY area of your life.  These steps work for anything made of energy, and that my friends is EVERYTHING!

These same steps can be used to manifest significant others, money, material possessions, professions, careers… you name it.

Thus, the sky is the limit!

What will you decide to manifest today?
