Don't worry, you are too.
Let me tell you why.
Since I've been introduced to the amazing powers of essential oils, I've decided to incorporate them into our daily life. I knew that by doing that, I'd need a better system than leaving them scattered all over the top of our dresser.
I'd seen some really pretty oil storage shelves for upwards of $50, and knew that I'd like something like that, but definitely not for $50 or more. Plus, I'm not exactly sure where I'd want to keep the shelf (kitchen, master bedroom, office), so I wasn't ready to commit to hanging them on the wall anywhere just yet.
Last night, Bent and I checked out Goodwill, but they had no shelves, and he felt bad that I came up empty. "It's ok, I'll find the right one," I said as we left.
Today, after school, Cole and I went to run errands on the other side of town, so we stopped at a thrift store that we don't usually frequent and guess what they had? A lovely little free standing shelf that can also be hung on the wall and was painted by its previous owner the exact color of the mirror and picture frame hanging in our master bedroom! $5 and a wipe-down later, that cute little shelf is now holding our essential oils.
Just last month, I was wondering to myself if I should get a crockpot to make dinner time easier since we've been so busy with back to school. I went into Target for groceries, and guess what? Marked down crockpots were on an endcap display! I didn't buy one, but I smiled because I know that those were put in my path because I'd called to them using the power of intention.
These situations have happened so often that when I tell people, "Don't worry, things are going to work out fine," I'm not just saying it. I truly believe that they are, because I know that things are always working out for me. In fact, they're always working out for you too, or they will be once you believe that they are.
Before you think that this is some witchy woo-woo, even Jesus says, "Ask and ye shall receive." Technically He says,
"Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
Matthew 7
"Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full." John 16:24
Medical studies have shown that the placebo affect is a real thing. In fact, it accounts for 1/3 of healing in patients. One third!! Your mind is far more powerful than you think.
The next time you start to beat yourself up over something, replace your words with positive affirmations because when you tell yourself you are a failure, you become one. Tell yourself that you are awesome, and that good things come easily for you. Even if you don't believe it. Lie to yourself if you must, but over time, that lie will become the truth.
You know why? Because you're magic.
