“The two most beautiful words in the English language are: ‘Check enclosed.’”
—Dorothy Parker
Every so often, as I worked with my chosen monthly budget, I would think of something I wanted to have that wasn’t on my budget. (Does that ever happen to you?? Lol)
It could be something I had forgotten to plan for by putting it on my “irregular expenses” list like new stationery, additional advertising specialty items like coffee mugs or pens, or a new piece of computer equipment.
Or it could be something fun or extravagant that I wanted to create more money for, like new clothes, new office furniture, a vacation trip, or a piece of jewelry.
Whenever I thought of something, I wrote it down on a piece of paper at the back of my time management calendar on my desk. I labeled it my “Magic Money Wish List,” because I knew I had to create extra, magic money, above and beyond my budget, in order to have the things on this list.
Without paying much attention to it, I started regularly receiving extra money. In fact, the amounts I received almost always totaled what I needed!
One day, I had gotten a surprise bill for $800 that I had not planned for. I wrote this amount on my list and started doing “magic money” affirmations, because I didn’t want to take $800 out of my savings.
Three weeks later, I got a check in the mail from a real estate transaction that had closed three years before. Some accountant in the lender’s office had done an audit and discovered a discrepancy—I had not been paid the full amount I was due, so they were sending me a check to take care of the balance due me.
The check enclosed was for $806.32!
When that happened, I suddenly became conscious of what I was doing.
I was naming a goal, writing it down, and telling my subconscious and the Universe to create it for me. Whenever I bought one of the items, I crossed it off the list by highlighting it in green.
A couple of years later, I had several pages of nice things highlighted in green—this was working!
What would you like to have “magic money” for? Write out your wish list today!
