And thats when it clicked. The Tercel was a 15 year old reminder of my poverty days. It was like I was running via a door to a new life experience and I couldnt take the Tercel with me. I had to release it. The Camry was reasonably priced and I knew we could get financing on it. The thought that I couldnt afford new monthly payments never occurred to me. I was already in my new level of prosperity consciousness and I knew I could afford it, even though I didnt have the money to prove it yet. It was a calculated leap of faith in something very intangible however very genuine.
Every once in a while I would look with interest and perhaps wistfully at my friends nicer and larger cars, and suppose about what car I would like next. And I would wince a little every time I watched my six foot tall husband crunch himself up to fit into my compact car. But I was being economical and that was a great virtue to have, right?
A new car was procedure down on my list of desires because I was happy with what I had. When I bought my Toyota Tercel 15 years ago, it was one of the most economic cars on the road. It was inexpensive, got great mileage, and never gave me any problems. Being thrifty and Green at heart, I decided to keep it until it conked out to save money and save the ambiance of one less used car for a while.
Seeing that car had changed something inside of me and although I decided not to get that particular one, I knew I was going to have to make a change in my ambiance because the old one no longer supported who I now was. I made the new desire to fix that and I beefed up my efforts to manifest my desire.
I found myself taking longer looks at my friends nicer cars. The Tercel began to search less tremendous and smaller. Gradually it dawned on me that I should always suppose seriously about making a change. About a week later, I found myself staring at a nicer, larger and newer Camry. As I stood there staring at the price tag I thought, I could afford this!
Driving my newer Camry, reflected my new state of prosperity consciousness and I realized that I could still be economical and express my newer state of mind authentically. The important lesson is that making selections which create an ambiance that reflects your current state of mind is not being selfish, however as a substitute is an expression of progress and an example for others to follow. In this procedure you own and claim your value as it advances.
A week later we went to the nearest big town for a doctors appointment and decided to just see what the Toyota dealer had in the procedure of used cars. Thats when I found exactly what I wanteda 9-year-old Camry that was in mint condition, including brand new tires. Just sitting in it made me feel like 1,000,000 dollars and driving it was such a much more pleasant experience than my Tercel.
Then something interesting happened. One of my husbands relatives ask us if we wanted her old Neon. I went and looked at one and it was just as small and economical as my Tercel, only newer. Then I remembered a principle from the Law of Attraction which stated that sometimes you have a desire and the Universe brings you something similar however not exactly what you wanted as if to say, will you accept this? Then you have a choicedo you want to accept something cut down than what you wanted or do you want to hold out for what you truly want? I wanted a Camry!
