Are You Asking the Universe for Things and Then Saying "No Thanks"? Part 1
Introduction
Do you find yourself asking the universe for things, only to refuse them when they appear? This thought-provoking question crossed my mind after reading a headline on Yahoo!: "NYC cabbie returns bag of diamond rings." My initial reaction was, did he just tell the universe "No thanks"?
The Story
A New York taxi driver became an unexpected hero when he returned 31 diamond rings left in his cab by a passenger. The woman had tipped him a mere 30 cents on a $10.70 fare.
"I've always tried to be honest," said the cabbie, Osman Chowdhury from Queens. He wanted to show the world that New York taxi drivers are honest. The event unfolded when he drove a woman, who claimed to be a jeweler, a short distance in Manhattan. She left behind the valuable rings, but when she realized her mistake, she offered Chowdhury a $100 reward.
Though reluctant, he accepted the money to cover the fares he lost while trying to return the rings. Chowdhury never once considered keeping the diamonds.
Yet, is this really the message we want to send to the universe?
The Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction asserts that our thoughts shape our reality. We attract experiences aligned with who we are. Chowdhury’s story prompts a reflection: Why were the diamonds left behind?
Imagine Chowdhury, like many of us, asking the universe for more money to cover life’s expenses, only to dismiss the unexpected opportunity it presented. He might have thought, "I’ll get more money by working harder," inadvertently closing off other avenues. He essentially told the universe, "No thanks, I only want money if it comes through hard work."
Missed Opportunities
We've all heard stories of people turning in found money or items, like a coat pocket cash stash, to the authorities. While acting ethically is vital, we may be unconsciously limiting how the universe can deliver our desires.
Ask yourself: If you’ve requested a new car, are you open to someone gifting it to you? If you want more money, would you accept it if it appeared unexpectedly? Or are you solely open to rewards through recognized means like a paycheck bonus?
Rethink Your Programming
If you see honesty as the moral of this story but overlook the broader implications, you might need to reconsider how you're programmed to give and receive. Are you inadvertently rejecting the gifts the universe offers because they don’t arrive in the expected package?
Conclusion
Are you unintentionally telling the universe "No thanks"? Reflect on the opportunities you might be missing, and ensure you're open to receiving the abundance you’ve been asking for, no matter how it's delivered.
