Hello Dear Friends
There is a story I want to tell you.
It’s about my new car.
A few days ago I bought my new car!
Here’s the story.
The last three months I had in mind to look around for a new car, as I experienced a lot of inconvience with the car I had until a few days ago. There was a lot of damage in the bodywork, my expansion tank exploded, my lights were always dimmed and it just didn’t want to work any more… so I decided to look around for another car.
From that moment on I had a picture in my head of a large silverstar car. I love that colour and I slightly prefer larger cars. It felt really good when I was thinking about this new silverstar car.
When I was on the road I looked around me and every single time I saw a large silverstar car, I felt a gut-feeling-YES, telling me it was indeed such a car I wanted to buy.
Then I had a specific price in my head. It felt right and good.
I knew very quickly which car I wanted to buy and the same regarding the amount of money I wanted to pay.
I thought about my favourite garage and I looked at the website. There was a beautiful large silverstar car. Awesome!
The only objection was the price, too much.
I made an appointment and went for a ride with that beautiful looking car and I decided to buy that one. It felt so great!
From that moment on turbulence came over me. I talked about this car with some members of my family. They told me not to buy that car because it was too large, too many kilometers, too fashionable. I could understand what they meant. I could see why they told this, but it felt not right to me. So days went by and the more I talked about it with my family, the more they convinced me not to buy that car.
I really don’t want to criticize my family here, I love them! I’m just describing the situation. They didn’t do anything wrong. By having done this, I ‘m now writing this here, so it’s a good thing for me they did it. At the time, I did not perceive that in the way I can now.
I began to doubt. I was not so enthusiastic any more about that car.
Weeks later I realized I had to look around again as I really needed a new car. So I went to another garage. I had heard a lot of good things regarding this other garage and so I went for a look.
In the middle of the showroom there was that beautiful large silverstar car, 2 years old and a very good price.
I told the garage owner that I was very interested and I wanted to ask several questions. He replied, ‘’sorry, yesterday I sold this one.”
A bit disappointed, I went home, but I knew one day I would find that beautiful car.
I already have experience in this process throughout the years I’m here on planet earth, so I quickly let go of this situation.
The following days I reconsidered again buying that first car I saw. I made the decision to only talk about this car with people who did share my vision.
Some days went by and more and more I felt reassured again. I wanted that car.
I called the garage owner. It was his wife on the phone. I asked her some questions about that specific car and told my price. She was a bit quiet because she didn’t really agree with me about the price. I told her that really was the amount of money I wanted to pay. She replied she would discuss this with her husband. In the evening she called me back telling me it was okay!
Not only had I bought the car I loved, I also paid an amount of money very near to the price I had in mind, by getting 1100 euro off their price!
For me, this was a fantastic and instructive story. It means a lot to me. An example of something that happens quite often, we often do really know what it is we want, i.e. that car, but then we loose our ”alignment to source” by not having the approval of others and we are the ones that disconnect ourselves from our source. It is not the others doing something wrong, it is we who are disconnecting ourselves with that excuse that others don’t approve of us.
Do you understand what I mean. We disconnect ourselves from our alignment, because we hear that others don’t agree with us and by hearing this we take it too personally, too emotionally and we feel not good about it. Then as we feel not good we begin to doubt it.
I’m not saying that it is not right or good to talk about your decisions with others. It can be very helpful, but when you discover that they see it another way, which is their right, it can be good to not talk about that subject any more with these specific people until you have that yes feeling again and until you are convinced again and until you are connected again to your own Source.
For me it was interesting to see it could have been done much quicker (buying that car), if I did not let myself get away from my Source just because some others (loving family members) don’t approve of me.
It is not something wrong that others do. It’s about your alignment to Source.
The most fantastic part of the story:
Once I had decided again to buy that car anyway, they finally did agree with me! And, they love the car too, they really love that car!
It is something to consider in daily life: how much do I let myself go away from my plans, my dreams, because of not having the approval of others and using this as an excuse to let myself go away from my Source?
It’s not them, it’s me doing that. It’s difficult when they don’t approve because as a human being, you need that once in a while, but it is still you doing it!
When others don’t support you in a dream you have, you can have the tendency to doubt your own dream. Don’t do that, just quickly realign with your own dream until you are strong enough again to discuss with others. Once you are strong enough, you can discuss. When you feel they really don’t agree over and over again, then keep on realigning yourself and stop talking about it with these people. They’re not doing something wrong, they’re just telling you their opinion, and that is their right. It provides you the contrast to really feel what it is you want.
Don’t use the disapproval of others as an excuse to disconnect yourself and let go of your dream. It will cause you pain, because you are disconnecting yourself.
Think about this. I am!
Have a wonderful day
