Abundance Within Me…$$$

“if you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

Paulo Coelho

I believe in manifesting and the power of manifestation. I know it to be true because I’m living a life that I once dreamed of every time I closed my eyes.

Had I know then what I know now, I would have been able to manifest this life much faster. But that’s okay, because now I know, and I’m doing it with INTENTION this time around.

These last couple weeks have been a roller coast of emotions and learning to really feel my feelings and pay attention to what life is saying to me. It’s been difficult because I haven’t always liked what life was saying at that moment, but instead of floating away I stayed present, listened to my intuition and reminded myself that nothing last forever.

The highs and lows of life have left me more determined that I, Alice, am going to accomplish something great. I just need to stop asking for permission and just go do it.

Recently, I’ve been doing just that. I reaffirmed my goals and got ever clearer on my vision. Really clear. Life reminded me of my why and gave me the push that I needed to take a chance on myself and start my first business.

A simple question asked by a new friend when I told her my life vision and what I wanted… ‘What kind of Porsche do you want?’ also seemed to ignite the fire within me. Up until this point when I’ve told people I wanted a Porsche, I am returned with a list of reasons why I shouldn’t. By the time the person finishes, I am left questioning my dreams and myself. No one ever asked me the simple question of ‘what kind?’

I didn’t know at that dinner what kind of Porsche I wanted but I left seeing life from a whole new perspective. It’s not that I was dreaming to big, it was that I was surrounding myself with people who were dreaming too small and I was allowing them to define my life and what I wanted.

Never again, I vowed to myself as I drove home that night, would I allow someone else’s opinion define what I wanted out of life.

On my way to work on the next Monday morning, I was thinking to myself, ‘What Porsche do I want? A two door? The smaller sedans?’ and as if life was having a conversation with me, a black Porsche Macan, over takes in front of me.

As I drive entranced by the beauty of the Porsche Macan in front of me, I couldn’t help but smile as the music blared and I imagined my hands being on the steering wheel of a Porsche Macan.

For the next 10 minutes, the Porsche Macan and I drove down the highway. By the time I got to work, I knew exactly what Porsche I was going to own, and my whole soul was set on fire.

I created a wallpaper for my phone so I could look at it everyday. That beautiful Porsche Macan was one day going to be mine.

Funny thing is that I drive by the Porsche dealer everyday and up until now I hadn’t noticed it. I was noticing now and every time I drive by I envision that one of those beautiful Porsche Macan’s on the lot is just waiting for me to come pick her up.

Yesterday after leaving work early, I decided to stop by the dealership and check it out. I wanted to be able to see her, sit in her, feel her, so that I can manifest her faster into my life, is what I tell my friends.

I mentally prepared myself for the salesmen who would try to get me to buy a Porsche today and thanked my lucky stars I wasn’t wearing anything too flashy. I walked in and to my surprise wasn’t bombarded with sales people. Just a casual greeting from the receptionist.

In the center of the store was a white Porsche Macan and directly behind it was a black one. Ah, she was so beautiful. I walked around her. The salesman sitting near by causally told me to get in the Porsche and check out the inside. I did.

She was beautiful. The horse on the steering wheel reminding me of the real horse I would one day ride and the freedom that this new version of me would bring me.

“How do you like it?” The salesman asked as he approached the window.

“I love it” I replied, feeling much like a kid in a candy store.

“Ah, love is a strong word.” He replied

“Okay, I’m in love with it” I chuckled.

“I’ll get you the keys so you can see what it’s like turned on. Would you also like a water?”

“Yes please” I replied, I wanted more time alone to sit with this beautiful machine.

When he returned I was offered a bottle water and a Perrier. Ah I grabbed the Perrier and thought to myself, I told you rich people are happier because they have sparkle in their water.

She was even more beautiful lit up and by the time I was sitting at his desk, I was convinced that this car was going to be mine. We chatted about the reasons why I should get a Porsche and I asked him about the reliability of the car as I had heard from many people that a Porsche is “hard to maintain”.

His reply, “Have you ever asked anyone with a Porsche?”

Ah great question. No I hadn’t. Another moment in life where I am reminded that I am surrounded by people who’s dreams don’t match mine. I make a mental note to ask someone who owns a Porsche about owning a Porsche.

“Do you want to drive the Porsche Macan?” he finally asked me.

I hesitated, muttering that I needed to check my work phone which I had left in the car first. As I walked to my car, my mind started churning.

Was I hesitating because I was scared? Was I allowing all the people in my life who said I couldn’t own a Porsche define what I wanted? If money wasn’t a factor would I be test driving my new Porsche right now? Am I being led by my dreams or my fears?

I’ve never been one to give into fear, to stay in my lane or let others define what I was going to do, and today would not be that day.

“I’ll test drive a Porsche Macan.” I said as I returned with my work phone.

“Perfect. I’ll pull it around.” He said.

I took a work call while I waited, it was better to stay busy so I didn’t let the doubt back in.

Before I knew it, I was sitting behind a beautiful white Porsche Macan and he was giving me directions to a back road so I could test out the speed. As we drove he talked about the history of Porsche and all the amazing ways it stood out from the other cars.

The personality it shows. The width of the wheels. The difference between a 14 setting seat and an 18 setting seat. By the end of the drive I was in love with the version of me that I became what I was behind that wheel.

Energized, Empowered, Inspired…I met the future version of me and she left me as always, awed and speechless.

As I got out of the car and shook hands with the salesman, I knew that one day, in the not to distant future, I would be shaking hands and being handed the keys to my new black Porsche Macan.

I know my destination, how I’ll get there is a mystery. But I’m buckling up and I’m pushing pedal to the metal, because I didn’t come this far just to stop.

I’m feeling the fear and I’m doing it anyways. I’m focusing on what’s on the other side and I’m not letting anything or anyone stop me.

I’m dreaming bigger, thinking bigger, and believing bigger.

I can’t keep my Porsche Macan waiting…

Until then…
