Here is another great example of why it’s so important to be clear on what you want:
So here I am, doing some ‘quick’ grocery shopping, but I ended up getting way too many things…as usual. (My mother always said, “never go grocery shopping when you’re hungry…’cause you end up buying too much stuff.” So, what to I do??? the opposite…of course
So, as I’m gathering the items that I wanted, I found myself having to balance things in one arm, hold things under my other arm…to the point where I was about to drop everything on the floor…And since one of the items was a glass container, I didn’t want to drop it and I figured I needed a basket. Duh.
But… I was all the way in the back of the store and I didn’t want to walk “all the way” back up to the front to get a basket. So, I put out the intention (and even said aloud) “There will be an empty basket around the corner…”
And guess what happened??? I found an empty basket around the corner…
Whoo Hoo! Good for me, right? Well, not quite. This is what I found: It wasn’t a shopping basket.
It was the basket that was used for free samples…and it happened to be empty.
So, I got exactly what I asked for…but not exactly what I wanted.
Practical Application
Be clear on what you ask for…or you just might get it.
