..the more I get.

One of my big goals in life is travelling to far-flung destinations throughout the entire world. Another one is attain financial independence. I stop looking actively for both, suddenly one potential business deal and an offer of a Caribbean tour in January falls on my lap.

Is that the way the universe works? The less you chase for what you want, but still attract it, the more you get?

I prefer to go with Mr. Jefferson on this: "I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." If you're just sitting on the couch and doing nothing, things usually won't appear, and if they do, you'll probably let the opportunity slip; if you're stuck in a rut, focusing too much in being successful, it's possible you'll become too busy searching that you won't be able to actually find anything; if, on the other hand, you direct your energies towards your personal improvement — on different areas of your life —, and take care of all your duties, things have a way of arranging themselves: you become an interesting person, so you attract interesting people with similar interests; you become a better professional (and/or student etc.), so you also become more desirable; in accord with my set of beliefs, I'd say "God rewards persistence and steadfastness", but others may say "the universe rewards", or "your effort creates a field of synchronicity", or even "by finding a balance between sustained focus and relaxed contemplation, your mind will learn what to look for, and be capable of recognizing useful patterns around you" and so on and so forth.

Wow, such pearls of wisdom there!

I have found that when I really want something I think about it for a couple of days and really imagine what it would be like to have the thing that I want and then I forget about it and live life. Every time that I have done that I get what I want. However if I continue to think about it/want it for too long it never shows up. I believe that to imagine having something and then to live shows a great deal of faith that the desired object is already on its way (abundance mind set). Where as if I continue to obsess about it it shows lack of faith and stops the magic from happening (lack mind set).
