There was this guy I really liked, but we ended communications quite some time back. I wished him nothing but happiness though and I knew when the time was right, when I was ready, I would see him again.

So I was at work one day, and I heard a familiar voice over the speakers. This guy that I really liked had a distinct voice, and he did hostings for shows and events. I guessed it was him, but I wasn’t sure so I decided to take a walk to the event site to see for myself. True enough, it was him! I freaked out a little and I wasn’t sure what to do because I didn’t know how he would react to seeing me as we’ve stopped talking for quite awhile and we didn’t end things on the best of terms. I walked passed the event site a few times, hoping he’d be the one to notice me, but he was focusing on hosting the event, thus he didn’t notice me. I went to a bathroom nearby (weird place to go and think, I know, but it was where I was alone) and started to think about the whole situation.

I wanted to see him, I thought to myself. I’m going to put that thought out there – “I want to bump into him – I want to get to talk to him for more than a minute and spend some time with him at least.” I said it out as a confirmation of what I wanted, and when I said it, I felt myself going through that happiness when my words came true. Then I smiled and said to myself, “But, if it doesn’t happen, it’s ok too. It’s not the end all be all, and I’m grateful enough I got to see him for a few moments.” I was happy I told the universe what I wanted. I put my thought and my visualization out there, and I was content.

I left the bathroom and walked toward where the event site was (and the place where I work is huge, think tourist-like) and there were people all around, so he didn’t see me, again, but I saw him and I smiled.

This was at about 1pm. I finished working at 3.30pm. I knew the event had ended around 2, so I knew he wouldn’t be there anymore. I wasn’t sad though, I was grateful for that moment I had seen him. I did some things while waiting for the time to pass so I could “tap out” of work. The system finally read 3.30, and I happily tapped out and left the office area, and as I walked out, he literally walked across! He walked by me and we both caught each others eyes and we were so stunned for those few moments. We started a conversation right there, for a minute or two, and then he asked me where I was going, and I said I was heading home, and he offered to give me a lift!

Was it just a coincidence? No, it was something I really wanted, and I knew how impossible it was, but I put it out there anyway, for the universe to work its magic for me. I didn’t keep the negatives in my head but just focused on the fairytale.

Later on in the car, he told me he wasn’t even supposed to be there at that time. He was only supposed to start at 7pm, but they called him in and he agreed, and his event finished at 2, but he stayed in his office till 3.30, though he didn’t even know why! He was so civil to me, he even hugged me and said he did miss me. It was more than I could imagine! That made me realize that this was bigger than just that one thought I put out on that day itself. It’s been a manifestation of what I’ve wanted all these months. The universe created this opportunity for me, and I was so grateful every step of the way.

I believe that when you’re ready to have what you want in your life, it will come to you. But you have to feel and know that you are ready to accept it. Just like the opposite, I have this other guy who I wasn’t ready to see because of harsh feelings, and I never saw him till I decided and felt that indeed, I was ready.

You control what you let into your life. You decide whether you want it or not. And as for the “hows and whens”, it’s not our job to worry. The universe will create and deliver, and it would hit you either as a coincidence, or, The Secret, working its magic. 🙂
