wanted the computer to have, no wavering, no settling for something other than what I really wanted, simply my heart's desire.  I wrote down how much I would actually spend to get this.  That same day I went on the Internet and found a basic CPU unit that came equipped with all the specifications I had wanted.  Although it didn't include a monitor I still knew it was the one to get.  The monitor I had was relatively old, very small and displayed somewhat fuzzy graphics, but I figured I could always find a better one at some other point in time.

    I bought the CPU and within a week my daughter stopped by and brought me a state of the art 15 inch monitor a friend of hers gave her for free!  I was ecstatic.  I am so pleased with my “new” computer system.

    Once I found the barrier between what I desired and what I actually received, I made the choice to navigate around it.  When I allowed the free flowing energy of creation to run its natural course I not only received the computer I had really wanted, but in turn, the older computer components I had were recycled to underprivileged children.

    While it's not always easy to navigate the obstacle course we set up in our mind, learning to do so is a clearer route to achieving success.  Whether what you are seeking is related to a job, home or personal relationships, in the microscopic realm of creation there is no degree of difference.  To be successful it is integral to the outcome of the situation to understand the nature of your own thoughts.

    My misgivings and guilty thoughts of spending money have not vanished, but now that I'm aware of them, should they arise in the future, I can see them for the obstacles they are and make my choices accordingly.

    Until we reach that point of mental evolution where we can transcend the boundaries we have been conditioned to believe we must live within, we may find it more beneficial learning to work with the obstacles as they stand.

    Ultimately, the real path to success is to believe in all things possible, but when you can't, sit down and find out why, for the most glorious and swiftest of wings won't lift us very high if our feet are tethered firmly to the ground.
