You Want To Attract True Love

I feel so cherished. Not long after the meeting, I was commissioned a few thousand dollars for my first four designs to be placed in all major department stores in Australia and New Zealand. This was one of my first real tastes of how manifesting actually works. This level of creative empowerment should have placed me on a path to success, but instead, I was still headed for a detour of seeking approval from other people. When I was nineteen years old, I dropped out of college, much to my parents’ disappointment. I had found myself in a very exclusive graphic design program at my chosen school, but it didn’t interest me. And I think there were only about a hundred positions available to get into this course. On the day it began, I showed up there and I just didn’t feel like it was for me. So I decided to take a break, and I didn’t actually know if I’d end up going back. During this time, I found myself working in various jobs. I worked in a picture frame factory for a little while doing visual display merchandising and framing people’s art prints. And then I landed a job at a lingerie store.

Don

Don't Look Back

Working in this store was a really interesting experience. I didn’t wear any of the products sold there, because I couldn’t afford them on my tiny weekly wages. We tended to get some interesting characters in the store on a regular basis. I was really into a guy who worked there. I would watch him from a distance and wonder who he was. He was tall and wore a leather jacket and had a long brown ponytail that could have easily been a man bun before they were fashionable. I was visualizing what it would be like to connect with this guy. I could sense his energy, so when I was standing in the lingerie store waiting for clients to come in, I would look out over the road and I’d just be able to see what he was doing, and he could see what I was doing as well. And I would visualize in my mind’s eye that somehow, our paths would eventually cross. This guy was really good looking. And so at nighttime, five minutes before I would fall asleep, I would visualize that I was in the art gallery over the road and we could connect on a really deep level. I intentionally placed my thoughts and focus to be in the art gallery, because if he was in the lingerie store, it meant that he was probably shopping for somebody else.

If I Look Back I Am Lost

During this time, I was still processing grief because I had been dumped by my high school boyfriend, Jim. My heart was broken. He’d paid for the trip to take me to New Zealand to visit Nana Mollie, and now he didn’t want to be with me. Being single as a young adult was something that I wasn’t really used to. It felt exciting, but at the same time, it was really scary. And so I would keep visualizing that maybe I would cross paths with the guy who worked in the frame gallery and he would ask me for my phone number. And then one day, I had the inspired idea, and I said to myself, Okay, Sarah Prout, stop being so silly, stop waiting for things to happen, and take inspired action. I was somewhat of an artist, so I thought it would be a genius idea if I could get something framed! I knew this would be an ideal way to move the energy forward. I worked all weekend on a floral piece that would be quite impressive, very highly detailed. On Monday morning before my shift started, I went over there and said, Hey, I’m Sarah. I work in the lingerie store over the road. Can I get this framed, please? And sure enough, he asked me for my phone number because he took the order.

A Permanent State Of Exhaustion

So there was number one, my manifestation to exchange numbers. Number two was that we had the potential to get along as friends. There wasn’t instant chemistry like I’d thought there might be, and the distant attraction fizzled out within minutes. A surprising turn of events was that he then offered me a job, which I had no idea was going to manifest. They also had artwork on the walls, so I would take sales on behalf of the artists for the artwork. So all this precious time that I had spent visualizing, meeting, and crossing paths with this handsome guy in this gallery space had all converged to this precise point in time. It was only about a couple of months later on one of my Sunday shifts in the gallery that a guy walked in who just so happened to be my first husband. And so you never know how you are energetically charging the space that you visualize in your mind’s eye. Now, if I had my time over again, of course I wouldn’t change anything even if I could. But for the sake of giving visualization advice, what I could have done differently is that I would have focused on how I felt rather than making sure that the location was in the gallery instead of the lingerie store. I feel so seen by the man of my dreams. It was the fact that our paths crossed, and that was all I was focusing on. So if you want to attract true love in this most sacred visualization space, tune in to how you feel when you are with this person. Also, and this is a very powerful manifesting tip, focus on them. What kind of a flutter do you place in their heart? It is really important that you flip the script on it, because if you are single right now reading this, there is a person out there who is waiting to manifest you.
