Just enjoy the unfolding.
~~Abraham Hicks
One thing Abraham Hicks is always saying is that if we could just focus on what we want and why we want it and just leave the who, where, why, and how to the Universe, our manifestations would flow into our experience much more smoothly and quickly.
Letting go of how was a big sticking point for me. It still is a bit. I realized that I believed that if I didn’t know exactly how I was going to get something, I wasn’t going to get it. I needed to know the details of how something was going to come about because then I felt like I had more control. After all, if I didn’t get in there and manage the situation, there was no telling what I would end up with.
I struggled with this for a while, but then it hit me that there was already a common situation in my life where I was perfectly fine just sitting back and waiting for what I wanted: restaurants.
When I go to a restaurant and order the four-cheese macaroni, for example, I don’t tell the waiter which cheeses the chef should use. I don’t hand him a piece of paper specifying how much salt there should be, how often they should stir the cream sauce, or how long the whole thing should be in the oven. I don’t barge into the kitchen to make sure they have my favourite kitchen products and are using them the right way. All I do when I order in restaurants is ask for what I want and then sit back and wait. And I never start to worry about whether or not my order will come.
So, if I had this level of trust in other humans, why was I so doubtful of the Universe — a Universe with infinite resources at its disposal? If I was comfortable asking for what I wanted and then expecting it in restaurants, why was it so hard to ask the Universe?
Now I see life in our physical reality as a series of experiences that we choose, just like in a restaurant. A lot of people don’t understand how they are choosing and so they’re ending up with things they don’t want, but we all have the power to order what we want in the restaurant of life.
