I want to write a story about the progress I recently made in my manifestation. I wanted to write about it earlier, but I was busy procrastinating. Anyway, I can only focus on the present now. The story does not really have a start, so I will make one. Basically, I quit my job, left my country, migrated to Portugal, left my ex, apartment, comforts, etc. I decided to take all my money out of the bank and transform it into dollars because I didn’t know my bank also had euros, so this forced me to find a place to exchange those dollars into euros, but I thought it would be best to do that in Europe. 

My plan inside my head was, okay, you will open a bank account first; with that, you will not have an issue making a deposit of those dollars, or I could use that account to exchange them and then make the deposit. But… Why does it have to be a but? Anyway, it turns out that I am not a resident of Portugal (with a resident card anyway); therefore, I cannot have a bank account, and I cannot exchange money if I don’t have one. So I asked the guy at the bank (when trying to open one account), Do you know where I could change my dollars into euros then? … he responded not that happily, Western Union, I guess, or an exchange house. My mind immediately said, Western Union it is, but I decided to give it t time

I spent weeks trying to think of other options, what if, what if that, etc, but nothing came to my mind. I said I guess it’s gonna be Western Union but I will go until it is the last resource. When I came to the conclusion that Western Union was the only option I still said I will go later, and every time I was going I changed my mind, or decided to do something else in the day. 

Until one day I was at the bus, it was already getting late in the afternoon and I was feeling very sad and down, I was carrying a lot that day and kind of feeling hopeless because many things were not going as planned, and I was just repeating to myself something I was repeating to myself ever since I switched my life 180 degrees, and that was ¨Nobody said it was going to be easy…¨ do you see that? I saw it, at that moment after saying it I was like ¨No, wait, stop…¨… Life IS EASY!.

I immediately felt how something changed inside of me and I repeated, Life is easy, Life is easy. That something I felt it changed inside of me it was a vibration, I felt a new vibration entering my body, it was very intense that I started crying of gratitude.

I noticed that I was poisoning myself with my own words; I was conversely manifesting; I was conditioning my life to always have it the hard way when, no, I can have it the easy way. Who told me that lie that I so badly believed? I am a manifestation student, and that day I learned a great lesson. The lesson is to manifest and attract only the good things, to attract wealth, and to attract a nice job that will come to me nice and smooth. I changed the condition of my life; from now on, you will have it easy, David. No more hard days, no more hard lives, no more hard interviews, no more hard infinite list of things.

I am not saying here; just sit down and do nothing. Let me finish my story, and you will see the rest of the lesson. Immediately after I changed my mindset, that appointment for my medical health that I was not getting, I was able to confirm it, and I felt at that moment that it was my time to go and exchange my money. I live far from the city centre (where I was). It was already dark, but as the perfect Universal timing, I had my passport with me and literally all the dollars I wanted to exchange in my pockets. It was nearly time for Western Union to close, but I happened to have everything and I was in the area, so I went. Here comes my favourite part:

I entered Western Union, and the first thing I saw was the cashier number one available, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone with the second cashier. But I went straight to the cashier position 1, which was a lady, and I said to her in Portuguese, “Boa tarde, ¿vocês trocam dolares a euros?, she did not hear me so she was gonna ask something when the person that was with the second cashier answered for her ¨yes, we do¨, she (after he answered) changed her question to ¨so you want to exchange dollars to euros right?, my answer was ¨yes¨, so she replied ¨how much would you like to exchange¨ and I said ¨this much¨ (which it was a considered amount but not huge).

The guy interrupted with a sentence between teeth but then he answered properly for her and said ¨do you know that if you exchange a bigger amount we can give you a better rate right?¨ followed by the question, Do you have any more dollars?” and I said to him, That is all I have. He was in the conversation with me, but after I answered, he immediately turned his eye to the cashier and said ¨give him that rate there…¨ while pointing at the screen, it was a special rate. 

For my surprise, that rate he told her to give me was the best rate available and without any commission. Writing this fills me with emotions—big emotions of gratitude. Life is not hard; we were conditioning it to be hard for god knows how long, but I am ready to change that. Are you ready to change that too?.

I do not know who the other person was; of course I assume it was the manager, but I see him as an angel sent by the Universe; what are the odds that he was there at that time? He was in a customer position right next to me, definitely he was a channel to confirm my lesson. Forever grateful!.
