Don't Sweat It - Focus Shift

Have you ever noticed sometimes when you are looking for a particular thing it doesn't show up, but when you stop looking for it or thinking about it, it pops up?  The other day I lost an earring back that I desperately needed for my current favorite earrings.  As soon as it fell in my shag rug, I dropped down to my knees and begin patting every inch of that rug to no avail.  After an extensive search, I concluded that the earring back had gone to earring back heaven.  I let it go and gave it to the earring back gods.  Weeks later I was mindlessly sweeping while listening to some neo-soul music and guess what popped up?? My earring back!!! 

It seems like the universe works when we are not obsessing over everything.  Think about it....don't you get more job offers when you finally get a job?  Or when you're in a relationship, doesn't it seem like everybody and their mother or daddy is trying to date you?  I believe that's because when you aren't looking for something it comes, but when you're constantly obsessing over what you don't have, then that which you don't have expands.

This week, let's all shift our focus on what we do have and try not to concentrate on what we don't have or what we've lost.  I believe once we do this, our desires will pop up when we least expect them to.  Don't sweat it. 

Peace and Blessings,
