Overwhelment is about you not being up to
speed with what you told the Universe that you want.
-Abraham/Hicks
I use
G-mail by Google, so their ads change
costumes every time I open a new message.
Instantaneously, ads go from yoga to Hawaii, from
anti-virus software to health sites and so on. All
dependant upon
the content of my e-mail. Just the way the Universe
responds to the thought bubbles I create.
Sometimes the search engines respond in ways
that seem eerily intuitive. For example, as I was
headed for my computer a few days ago my thoughts
were about the foods within my 100 mile radius (Eat Local
Challenge), the 100 things I wanted to get done
that day refuted by thoughts of also wanting to just lay
on the couch
to read some of the 100 books I have stacked and
waiting for me. The number 100 was #1 in my mind.
When I flipped open the cover of my
laptop, the first thing that caught my eye was the
headline, 100 Most Powerful Women
Sorted by Rank - Forbes.com. After a few minutes
looking through the list, those accomplished women
made me feel as though I'm standing stone-cold still.
But I couldn't find anyone that I'd want to
trade places with...nada one.
That's when my answer
came through: All of the 100 things I
want to do, are in my life because I asked for
them. They're like bubbles floating all around for me to
go after, with joy. In the past, I spent more time
thinking about what I didn't want and when
things appeared, I had to wrestle them into
submission or beat them off with a stick. The
difference between overwhelm and overjoy, I've
recently learned, rests in the
asking.
The Universe has learned a few tricks from
Google. It's gotten better and faster! Maybe the
Universe created Google to get its point across to me,
knowing how much time I spend at the computer. All I
can say to you
about either one: caveat
emptor, buyer beware.
