John, the following is NOT wishful thinking, it's the simple truth:
Once you form a desire for something to have or experience in your mind, it becomes a reality in the world of thoughts. Then, because THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS... that reality immediately goes to work looking for expression somewhere in your vicinity. To help this expression, understand that your job has already been done and that it's time to let the Universe take over.
This doesn't mean do nothing, but it does mean that you can stop worrying, stop calculating, and stop second-guessing, so that you can begin listening to the Universe through your own hunches and intuition.
You’re in good hands,
The Universe
