Having set backs, but moving on

Having set backs, but moving on.

 

I recently had a setback. I wanted to purchase a property that is next to one I currently own.

The property came up on the market but I was not allowed to place an offer, due to how the selling system was set up. Someone made an offer that was accepted and I thought I guess it wasn’t meant to be. A few weeks went by and I see the deal must have fell through, as the property was being open for offers again. So I placed my bid. Again the price I offered was declined. I’m hopeful, that if this property is meant to be mine, that I will eventually be successful in my bidding.

 

I trust in my HP to guide me along, allowing thing to come into my life that will be beneficial to me. I know in my past, things I thought would be great to have in my life have been disastrous.

Keeping this in mind. I can move forward allowing my HP to take control. (Still difficult for me at times). But, I’m still learning not everything that glitters is gold.

 

I use what is called a God box. It is a small box in my room. And it has a small opening to put little notes I write into the box. So as an example with this property I write.

 

In an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way, in its own perfect time, for the highest good of all, I ask for God to bring this property (address), into my life, if it will bring me joy, happiness, and financial blessing and help others. Thank you.

 

I then put the note in the box, and let God handle the details. Sometimes things happen days latter or months go by. I just let it go.

It’s just a way to help me to stop trying to control things I can’t control anyway.

It has worked for me. Give it a try for yourself.

 

Peace

I remember the first, and thus far only, time I put an offer in on a house. DH and I were so excited and eagerly awaited hearing back. We never head back. A week later, we drove by the house and saw someone moving in....totally crushed us. Yet, 3 months after that the house was back on the market with 30k worth of un-financeable structural problems. WHAT a headache we avoided *phew* So things have a way of working out :)

btw I live in coastal CA and a ridiculously competitive housing market....so I decided to stick with renting for the foreseeable future.

Life is full of set backs, that's for sure.

I like your suggestion, Fap123.  Thank you.

I love your example of trust in your Higher Power and practice of letting it go.
