LOA Story
Taken from Coach's Corner Newsletter,
May 2008 edition
What's LOA, Cathy? short for Law of Attraction.
Here's a really fun example of the power of our thoughts and LOA, and this just happened yesterday to me. It's a story about How I got the Car I wanted to rent
My car is currently getting a small repair done at the body shop. This has been in the planning for several weeks now. At that time, I decided I wanted a new car. In specific, a Toyota Yaris. More specifically- a 4 door white top-end model... that comes with extra body details, nicer wheels, A/C, cruise, power locks... you get the idea. I even have the brochure for this car on my kitchen table and see it every day. Apparently these cars go for miles on 2 thimblefuls of gas! I began to search the web to see what I could sell my existing car for.
Several times, I took myself over to the dealership to see my 'new car' sitting there on the lot. ( they have a LOT of Yaris's, but only one white one- you guessed it, that looked exactly like the one I have been thinking about.
Ok, so now, to take this to the next level- I take my Camry to the body shop yesterday in the morning, and Phil kindly had made arrangements for a rental car for me. I am thinking, gee, I hope they have Toyota's for rent, I'll ask for mine to be a Yaris.
Just as we turn into the lot, what drives out? Right, a Yaris. Good I think, they have them. Just then, a rep drives another Yaris to the door. I want that one, I say to the girl filling in my papers.
"Sorry, mame, you get the Ford, the Yaris is for another customer.
So all the reps leave to get the cars washed and so I find myself sitting with this older gentleman in the waiting room. I ask him what he thinks of the car they will have for him, and with a funny face, he says he really wanted a full-size car, not that little THING. Oh, I said, let's trade. He had no belief that my idea could work. He thought that since all the papers had been filled out, well, we were stuck. Oh no, I told him, I have been really really wanting a Yaris to rent. I think they just got mixed up.
Note: then I let it go.
Off I go outside now to do the Ford walkabout with the rep to check for existing dings. Partway along, the other rep interrupts us and says "this man says she really wants the Yaris, and he wants a full-size. (!) I guess he had pondered on this and decided it couldn't hurt to ask.
"So let's redo the paperwork, Carolyn, and switch it for them"
I turn to Carolyn, and asked " so, do you believe in the Law of Attraction?
I do now she says" !!
With that, I turn and shake the man's hand a wish him Happy Motoring...
It's a win /win story for sure, and a great way to illustrate the LOA. What you think about, focus on, or give energy to GROWS.
It sure does: and it grew into a Car, for heaven's sake! I complimented the girls for excellent customer service- I plan to endorse the Discount Car rental company to friends who just may have the need to rent a car one day.
...hey - they have Yaris's....
...later that day I went to the Toyota dealership and test drove My car...it feels great. She'll be home with me in just a few more days.
