I’m sitting here amazed at how quickly I can take things for granted. This is a totally true story. Several weeks ago, I adopted to kitties from a local shelter. A couple of weeks ago, I thought to myself, I would really like to get them a cat tree so they could climb around on it and laze. But I didn’t want to invest the money in that direction. Still, I wanted it, so I set the intention (with not a lot of focus) on having one in the house.
Then I forgot all about it.
Last night, at about 11 p.m., I’m lying in my bed, reading. My housemate knocks on the door.
“Perry? I think there’s something you should see.” I get up and dress.
“What’s going on?” I ask.
“I think you should see this.” Kyle leads me downstairs and points through one of my living room windows. There, across the street sitting on the sidewalk is….you guessed it, a cat tree. It’s enormous. It’s grand. It’s fabulous. It’s a miracle, I think. But then I think back to my intention. No, it’s not a miracle. It’s the result of my intention. It’s the universe responding to my vibration. A smile creeps across my face.
“Whose is it?” I ask Kyle.
“I asked the neighbor across the street,” he says. “They’re not claiming it. They said it’s probably there for anyone to take it.”
“Let’s go get it.”
That cat tree is now in my home. My cats are loving it. It didn’t dawn on my fully what had happened here. No, I get that the universe is an amazing place. But what surprised me was how I didn’t feel the appreciation such an event merits.
I am appreciative now. If the universe responds to such little requests, how can it not manifest our requests for grander things, like successful businesses and high-performing business cultures?
