On Manifesting: Be Careful What You Ask For

I just recently came back online from a very long hiatus...
one which was prompted not only by personal family issues,
but the need to further my education as a psychic advisor
and life coach. This in turn was born out of the
following experience:
In mid 2006 I began a course of intense study of the laws of
intention and manifestation. There were a few reasons I took
on this task..one being that I was going through a journey of
personal healing at the time, and second...it enabled me to
not only manifest for myself, but to be able to share the
experiences and help my clients manifest for themselves.
Throughout 2006 and into early 2007 my training was put
to the test. I consciously, (and sometimes subconsciously,)
put out the intention for things I wanted, circumstances
I wanted to come about, but most specifically I asked for
a certain "someone" to come back into my life. I was able to
manifest the "things" and "circumstances" rather quickly,
but the "someone" was still as elusive as the meaning
behind my desire to have them back in the first place.
And then close to mid 2007, I realized I had entered a
new state of being and I fully and completely "let go" of
my desire to have this "someone" back in my life.
And just as suddenly as I let go, this "someone" was back,
wanting to reconcile our relationship. But...it was too
late. I had moved on. And all I could think about was the
energy I had put into manifesting this person back into my
life, only to discover that they were not what I needed or
wanted after all.
We do get what we ask for. Not always in the time frame
we would like but in the Universe's time. And it is important
to keep this in mind when you are asking and putting out
intentions because when you do get what you want...are you
still going to want it?
