Do you want your tomato soup lumpy or smooth?

You might think this is a strange question but I want to share something that actually happened in our house.

So it was lunchtime and I was doing tomato soup. In the cupboard I had two tins, a smooth cream of tomato and a lumpy tomato with basil. I called up to my son which one did he want the lumpy or the smooth.

He shouted back “the lumpy”, so even though I thought that’s strange thought he would have gone for the smooth usually. Nevertheless I prepared what he had asked for anyway.

You get what you asked for

He came and sat at the table and said “why have you given me this one”?

I replied because “that is what you asked for”.

“No I didn’t” he said, “I said don’t give me the lumpy one”.

I won’t bore you with the rest of the conversation, only to say this is the same with the Universe.

The Universe doesn’t hear the word don’t, it “hears” what you are focusing on. In that moment when my son asked for the soup he wanted he was focusing on the soup he didn’t want. Just like the Universe that is what I heard.

Focus on what you want, The Universe is listening!

So what are you focusing on right now that you don’t want?

Is it more money but you are thinking about bills?

Always focus on what you do want, not what you don’t as the Universe is always listening and always responding.
