I remember it was a
Wednesday morning, sometime ago, and I needed to speak to three people about
some of my charity work that I was doing for the KELY Support Group. It was
very important to me to get these matters finalized in a timely manner, however
I got busy with my “day job” and wasn’t able to do anything about contacting
these people.
Later in the day busily
rushing to a luncheon appointment I jumped onto the MTR (mass transit) to find,
standing next to me, one of the people I wanted to talk too. We exchanged the
information required and I proceeded to my luncheon.
After being heavily involved
in discussion during my business luncheon, I got up to leave the restaurant,
and as I turned to leave the table, I saw, sitting a couple of tables away, the
second person I needed to speak to about KELY. We exchanged the information
required and I went back to my office feeling pretty pleased that I had, with
no outward effort on my part, at least managed to see two of the people that I
needed to see that day.
The rest of the afternoon
was pretty normal and as I made my way home I thought it had been a good day’s
work and fortuitous that I had made two out of the three contacts I had in mind.
Then something interesting
happened.
I was in Pacific Place, a
shopping mall in Hong Kong, and as I was about to get on an escalator to take
me to the place where I normally caught my bus home, I suddenly felt that I was
going the wrong way. My logic said get on the escalator that’s the way home,
but my feeling was get off the escalator you are going the wrong way. Although
tired after a hectic day, I decided to go with my feelings, and jumped off the
escalator. I then took a longer route to the bus stop that led me past several
shops including a McDonald’s, and as I passed McDonald’s the third person that was
on my list to see that day came out of McDonald’s. I had managed, without any perceived
effort to see all three of the people I needed to that day. However the lesson
for me was not that I was able to manifest this experience just by the power of
thoughtful intention, but that by going with my feelings, not my logic, I could
achieve so much more.
If you would like to know
who that third person was, maybe get a copy of my upcoming book…it may have
been you!
