A lesson from my 18 year old son, Julian
As I have been learning the Law Of Attraction over of the last couple of years and have kept it under my hat for the most part. The people close to me have always thought I had weird ideas. I don't know what gave them that idea...giggle!
Now that I'm more comfortable and know more about LOA I'm speaking out. Especially, to my children, now teenagers and they think I'm off my rocker. They say "right mom, we create our own lives, sure".....at first this was frustrating. Then I realized I would have to teach by example.
This was difficult when I saw my son, Julian creating some things in his life that was making him very unhappy, his 1963 volkswagon beetle has been in the autobody shop for nearly 9 months and not getting worked on, his saxaphone was stolen and then was let go of his part-time job.....you know as parents we don't want to see our children hurt.
I started preaching about how we create our own experiences and he didn't want to hear it. He even yelled, "I don't believe in that stuff"....what was I thinking.... HONK! HONK!... get out of the way mom. I tried real hard to walk away from it.
I told him he would need to go look for anther job...show the universe he meant business......He did nothing for weeks. Although I did get him to write a list of some of the things he wanted.
It seamed the more I inquired about his search the less he did. I started to lose my senses when it came to him. I was definetly beating my head against a brick wall.... OUCH!!! I finally backed off all together, an inspired action :)
I asked him to sit and watch the secret with me one day when he seamed in a good mood and he agreed. Just the fact he was willing to watch it was a uni-wink for me.
It hadn't been two weeks since we watched the movie and I asked him if he was going to start looking for work. I just couldn't stay outof it. He replies with, " I'm going to get that job at the Clarmonte Hotel. You don't have much faith in that Law of Attraction do you". I damn near fell over and certainly couldn't think of anything to come back with. I thought OMG! maybe something sunk in. And yeh...why wasn't I trusting in the universe to pull this off.
This last weekend he informed me they started working on his car, YES! YES! and today he was hired at the Clarmonte Hotel. I said to him, "do you realize you created this"? He responded with a big grin on his face and said, "I just focused"
Later I found his list of wants tacked to the wall next to his computer. I believe he has put two and two together and I moved out of his way.
I realized I have no control over what my children create for themselves and that sometimes as a parent I have to step out of they're way. They have to discover what they don't want in order to know what they do want and in this instance he was open to discover a new way of thinking to get different results.
I love how this works.....
Namaste,
