Background: My partner and I have been practicing positive thinking/prosperity for a year now. Currently we are reading and doing the exercises in "The Magic" by Rhonda Byrne. This is all about GRATITUDE. During our daily meditation, we often give thanks for "checks in the mail" -- in other words, receiving money (in any form) in the mail. This hasn't happened in a big way for us, but we're grateful for anything we get -- good coupons, a bill that's less than we expect, etc.
The Story: We needed to pay a deposit of $2500 (for an egg donor for IVF). Although we could take this money from savings, we also trust in the TIMING of the Universe. Timing is everything -- but it's also something we cannot control.
As it just so happens, we're getting our annual bonuses (which are not guaranteed, but we are getting them this year) -- which will be paid to us this Friday. The combined amount should be close to $2500. Perfect! we said. And just in time for that expense (though originally we'd hoped to use the bonus money for something else).
I had an appointment at the clinic on Tuesday (yesterday), so I decided I would move the money from savings so we could go ahead and get the ball rolling, rather than waiting until Fri. I figured, we'll just reimburse ourselves with the bonuses.
And guess what we got in the mail on Monday? An unexpected check for $1,901!!! We were completely floored, and SO grateful. (The check was because we just refinanced our house -- but we had NO idea it was coming.) Plus we got a statement from my insurance that instead of paying $350 like we expected, we'll only have to pay a $20 copay.
Talk about timing!! The day before we needed the money, it came in the mail.
Have FAITH!!

Don't Worry...
Have you ever worried about something and when it finally came to pass, said to yourself "If I'd known it was going to be this easy, I wouldn't have worried so much about it!" I sure have. Take a hint, don't worry about things NOW. Somehow it will work out for you so why worry? Trust in God, the Universe, the Creator, or whatever you want to call it. Worrying only attracts more negatives into your life. Decide what you want, Trust, let go and enjoy your life!

Your Happiness
Your happiness does not depend on your job, things working out, where you live, relationships, etc. It comes from an inner connection to God/Creator/Universal Mind/Higher Self; to your connection with something beyond what we can see. To delve more into this, sign up for the Chopra Center's 8-week Happiness course http://www.chopra.com/8wph-signup or sign up for their free 21-day mediation challenges when they come up. It's a great way to find some inner peace.
