It Wants You Too 它也想要你
Isaw a marvelous billboard advertising the sleek and sexy BMW Z-4 sports car.The ad simply splashed a photo of the shiny car and proclaimed，“It wants you，too.”
The sign was teaching a crucial metaphysical lesson：the good you seek is seeking you.If you deeply desire a mate with certain characteristics，someone just like that is looking for someone like you.If you have a house to sell，someone is in the market for a house like yours.If you need a job，an employer needs someone with your unique skills.
The universe functions in perfect balance.The voice of fear and lack tells you that you are small，alone，and abandoned，and you have to struggle to get what you want and need.The voice of trust and abundance reminds you that all is well，you do not walk alone，and you are provided for in a million ways you do not understand and cannot manipulate.Fortunately，the voice of trust is far closer to the truth than the voice of fear，so you do not need to pay a moment's attention to the ranting of desperation.You are not desperate，so don't act like you are.
I once owned an awesome Mazda RX-7 convertible.When the time came to sell the car I placed an ad in the local paper and received a call from an interested lady.We made an appointment to meet in the parking lot of a local restaurant，and I had the car detailed.As I was driving to the restaurant，the car's electrical system began to fail.This was astonishing，since the car had been mechanically excellent for the five years I owned it.Now，on the way to sell it，it was punking out！
I prayed to at least make it to the appointment，and I did.But the car's engine gave out the moment I entered the parking lot.I literally rolled into the parking spot next to where the woman was waiting.She was angry because I was late，and wanted to take the car for a test drive.I sheepishly told her that the electrical system had faltered.Her eyes bulged as she grunted，“Well，call me when you get it fixed！”
I phoned a tow truck and soon my beautiful detailed convertible was hanging on a hook，dragging along the highway like a side3 of beef.I told myself this was just a momentary setback；the car would get fixed and somebody would buy it.Maybe，in spite of appearances，Divine Order was still in force.That felt better.
Fortunately，the problem was just a broken belt，which was repaired quickly.Three weeks later the woman phoned me.“Is your car still for sale？”she asked.I told her it was，and I had it repaired.“The strangest thing happened，”she reported.“I looked at two other cars，and both of them failed when I went to drive them.Isn't that weird？Maybe there's a reason.”This time the showing went flawlessly and we made a great deal.A month later I received a thoughtful card from the buyer telling me how happy she was with her new car.
So in spite of appearances and setbacks，the car had a right buyer，and time brought us together.So it is with your needs as buyer or seller，giver or receiver，lover or beloved.The universe is trying to help you.Are you letting it？
The Law of Balance operates on a very subtle level.A student in my online prosperity course reported that he was seeking a job.He had fine-tuned his resume，printed several dozen copies，and was getting ready to send them out to prospective employers.Then he received a call from an employer who wanted him.He didn't even have to spend the money on postage！
The key ingredients in attracting your mate，buyer，or employer are clarity of purpose and intention.If you are sure of what you want and willing to receive it，the universe will deliver it with minimal effort on your behalf.Far less doing is required，and far more knowing.If what you are seeking is not coming，there may be several reasons：（1）You are not 100%sure you want it，and you are harboring doubts，fears，or resistance.You can always tell what you believe by what you are getting.（2）You are trying too hard，and your strugglesome efforts are clogging the pipeline through which your good is trying to reach you.（3）The desired object is not in your best interests，and the universe is protecting you.
There are two crucial stages to manifestation：launch and release.You have to ramp up your desire to do or have something，and take the necessary steps and actions to make it happen.Then，once you have taken your best shot，you have to release the project to the hands of the universe and let natural forces assist you.If you keep launching and not releasing，your rocket will implode on the launch pad.If you just keep releasing but not launching，you do not have the momentum to sustain flight.In our culture we are very good at launching，but not so good at releasing.Both are necessary.
Place a photo of your desired object on your desk or refrigerator and write next to it，“It wants you，too.”Somewhere，your object has your photo on its refrigerator.The time will come-maybe not very long from now-when you will meet.
我看过一块绝妙的广告牌，是时髦、性感的宝马Z-4跑车。广告只是简单又不失隆重地打出一张闪闪发亮的车身照片，同时还堂而皇之地宣称，“它也想要你。”
这则广告给我们上了一节意义非凡的哲学课：你所追求的也正在找寻你。如果你深深倾心具有某种性格特质的伴侣，那么那种类型的人也在寻觅像你这样的伴侣。如果你要卖房子，市场上会有人恰巧就需要你那种房子。如果你需要一份工作，会有雇主需要拥有你那种技术的员工。
宇宙运行于完美的平衡之中。恐惧和匮乏的声音告诉你，你是渺小、孤独、被遗弃的，你必须竭力争取你的所想和所需。信赖和富足之音却提醒你，一切都很好，你并不孤独，你所需要的会通过成千上万条的途径提供给你，你无法理解也难以驾驭。幸运的是，信赖之音远比恐惧之音更接近真实，所以，你根本无需去理会绝望的嘶吼。你并不绝望，所以不要表现得你很绝望。
我曾拥有一辆漂亮的敞篷马自达RX-7。后来我要卖掉它，在当地报纸上登了广告，一位感兴趣的女士给我打了电话。我们约好在当地一家餐馆的停车场见面，我还详细向她讲述了车的情况。在我开车去餐馆的路上，车的电气系统出了毛病。这简直不可思议，过去五年它的机械性能一直都相当好。现在，要卖掉它了，它却掉链子了！
我祈祷着至少要到达约会地点，到是到了，但刚刚驶进停车场，车的引擎就精疲力竭了。我们异常缓慢，好不容易到了那位女士旁边的车位上，她已经在等了。我迟到，她有些生气，接着要求试一下车。我怯怯地告诉她车的电气系统出了故障。她瞪着眼睛，咕哝了一句，“那，修好了给我电话吧！”
我打电话叫了辆拖车，很快，我漂亮的敞篷车就被挂在钩子上，像一块牛肋肉一样沿着公路被拖走了。我告诉自己，这只是暂时的挫折；车会修好，也有人会买。也许，尽管表面如此，神的次序还是在起作用。这让我感到好受些。
幸运的是，问题只出在一根断裂的带子上，很快就修好了。三个星期后，那位女士给我打电话，“你的车还卖吗？”她问。我告诉她要卖，而且车已修好。“真是奇怪不过了，”她说道，“我看了其他两辆车，当我要去试车的时候，两辆都坏了。不奇怪吗？也许有什么原因。”这次试车毫无问题，我们的交易很圆满。一个月后，我从买主那儿收到一张很贴心的卡片，告诉我她对新车感到十分满意。
所以，尽管表面看来情况糟糕，进行不顺利，但是，车还是找到了合适的买主，时间让我们走到了一起。不管你是买方或卖方，给予者或接受者，爱人或被爱的人，情况也是如此，你都会和你需要的走到一起。上天要帮助你，你接受吗？
平衡法则，有时很微妙。我的成功系列网络课程上的一个学生报告说他正在找工作。简历已修改润色好了，复印了几十份，准备发给未来的雇主们。这时，他接到一位雇主的电话，意欲录用他。他甚至连邮费也省了！吸引你的伴侣、买方或雇主的关键因素是明确的目标和意图。如果你确定你想要的是什么，并且愿意接受，上天将不费吹灰之力地为你实现。很多工作量会因此省去，但需要更多的思考和确认。如果你追求的还没有来到你身边，可能有这么几个原因：（1）你并非100%确定你想要得到它，你还怀有疑虑、恐惧或者抗拒。你总能根据你试图要得到的东西做出新的判断。（2）你太过努力了，这种挣扎和苦斗反而阻塞了向你靠近的通道。（3）你所渴求的并不适合你，上天是在保护你。
达成目标有两个至关重要的阶段：发射和释放。你要明了你想做的事或得到的东西，下定决心，采取必要的步骤和行动。然后，一旦你已使出你最棒的一击，把你的努力交到上天的手里去吧，让自然的力量来协助你。如果你只是不停地做发射工作，而不去释放，你的火箭将在发射台上内爆。如果只释放而不为发射做准备，火箭不会有动力持续飞行。在我们的文化里，人们非常善于发射，却不太懂得释放。两者都是必要的。
把一张你渴求事物的照片贴在书桌或冰箱上吧，在旁边写上，“它也想要你。”在某个地方，你的所求也把你的照片贴在冰箱上呢。到那个时候――也许就是不久的将来――你们将会相遇。
