the power of attraction II

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


Hi friends! :)

I've shared a lot with you here on my blog. My
illustrations, outfits, makeup shots, inspirations,
fantastic experiences I've had such as modeling
and ballet as a child - and my day to day interests.
I wanted to share with you a bit more about myself
and hopefully inspire you =)




My main goal is to be happy. I work full time in a job
I love and adore. The people I work with are
wonderful, I feel motivated to go to work and the $$$
is great! So I appreciate my job and always will. I think
it's important to feel grateful for what you have.

Another thing I am grateful for is my gorgeous little
Peugeot convertible. You probably don't know about
it - until now - but I'm sharing it with you cause
there's a story behind how I got it.






'The Power of Attraction'

Around 3 years ago, on a random day at home, my mum
ripped out a picture from a magazine of a silver Holden
convertible and gave it to me to visualise what my 'dream
car' would look like. When I first saw it I thought yeah yeah
maybe one day, so I put it up on my wall thinking - no chance
- at first!

As I saw it every day I wanted it even more and more!!! I
was trying to find ways to be able to have a car like this.

In the meantime I was saving for a unit - but really needed
to buy a car. I had sold my little $5000 Mazda and was ready
for a new car. So I looked up on the trading post 'convertible'.
I thought it would probably be around the $50,000 dollar
mark - which was definitely something I could not afford and
was not willing to spend on a car. So I decided to see what I
could find with the amount I had saved - which at the time
was around the $20,000 mark. I couldn't believe my eyes when
I saw a Peugeot convertible going for $19,550 come up in the
results! I never knew that this type of car was around this
price range. And the car was even more amazing than the
original car I had in mind.

I contacted the seller, who was selling the car because she was
going overseas again and needed to pay off her $20,000 loan.
Funny enough she lived in the SAME suburb (meant to be or what?!)
I went to go and see it, test drove it and fell in love. So I made the
decision to buy it! It was literally a dream come true.

I never thought I would end up getting a car like that when my mum
first handed me that magazine tear sheet. But once the dream was
in place, and the visualisation was there, step by step, little by little
my dream was coming closer and became a reality in the end. I've had
my little Peugeot for 3 years now and it's still going great -
knock on wood haha.

I've read several books which cover this universal law of attraction.
Two of them being - 'The power of attraction' and 'the secret'. So now
I live by it. If there's anything I want - I visualise that I have it, imagine
myself surrounded by it - and therefore attract it to myself.

My tips for you:

1. Find pictures/videos or whatever you can of something you want.
2. Place them somewhere you will see frequently.
3. Visualise - imagine yourself having it. Be creative.
4. Don't worry about when it will come. It will, at the right time.

Good luck!

Mikaela said...

That *IS* really good advice!

I'm usually pretty good at working to get what I want in life, and at the moment there's a few career goals I need to get on top of... I think this idea might just do the trick =)

Christen said...

Thank you so much for writing this - I feel like it was meant for me. I am in the process of trying to make a lot of things change and this was just the kind of encouragement I needed!

sexylegsandbody said...

Great post Joelyne, thanks for sharing with us!
John Kehoe (not sure if the spelling is correct) wrote book "Mind Power" in which he says basically the same thing.

That's a pretty cool story. Is it a Peugeot 206 CC? That's the one my mom has - in fire engine red ;)

OceanDreams said...

This was so inspiring - thanks love! How did you go about finding a job you truly love? I feel kind of stuck right now and not sure where I want to go...I need to decide though because I want to be truly happy with my career. Glad you are happy and that you have your pretty car. I have a car that I love and saved for too, my Ariel, aka Mitsubishi Eclipse. Hope you have a great week love - Mwa!

Great post!
I like to know more about you.
Great history, and I didn't know about this power of atraction, great tip! I'll start to do that.

Kisses!!

Feelmore said...

Hey thanks for such an amazing post - I felt super inspired reading it, and am going to look into these concepts a bit more deeply because I feel as though I used to have this theory down pat but have somewhat lost it in the last few months. So thanks, inspiration to recapture!

Hanako66 said...

that is such a great story...your mom sounds like an amazing lady!

muchlove said...

Great advice! And great timing for me, because I was actually thinking about this a lot yesterday. I was in Borders and decided to flick through "the Secret", because I just heard about someone else's positive experience. So I'm definitely going to try writing down and visualising a lot more.

Stephanie said...

Great post!!! Congrats on the new car. And thanks for all the advice. :)

Beautifully said babe.

Keith said...

This is a great post. I quite enjoyed it. You definitely filled it with some good points and insights. I'm glad that things are going so well for you. Take care.

The Haute-Shopper said...

A very inspirational post! I agree that this method works amazingly well and I'm glad you got such a great car when you needed it! My guy is actually really good at it as well... it's almost scary. Once he was in the UK and realized he'd need 50 EUR the next day because he was flying in to Germany and needed the money for the cab fare. He really didn't want to take out more money and then... guess what? He found a 50 EUR note on the steet... in London. And this happens to him all the time (with cash mostly).

Hope you feel better by the way. I was ill the whole of last week and had to stay home, but thankfully these things go away at some point!

Kristin said...
