I was talking with a friend yesterday and it reminded me of how I ended up with the perfect house. So I thought I’d share it with you.

In order to get this perfect house it required a few components:

• specifics 
• Visualization 
• Nothing negative getting it in the way
• Acting as if 
• And the most important factor was excitement 

I’d always known what I wanted in a house. One story, a computer room and an exercise room. A bike lane where I could run and bike.

When I was searching for houses in San Antonio I came across something called an outside access. Turns out that’s what we used to call a back door.

This was an exciting concept to me and I told everyone about it. If you asked me how I was doing, somehow I would work outside access into the conversation. The entire house I imagined really got me pumped up and I was excited about moving to San Antonio.

I came to San Antonio on what the military calls house hunting. I wasn’t having much luck. So my friend took me around the city and we looked for houses.

We found a couple in this one neighborhood. I gave the addresses to the realtor and the next day she showed me this particular house.

I walked in and it was exactly as I had visualized. They had a specific exercise room. The computers were set up beautifully in the family room. It was a single story and guess what. There are 5 outside accesses. Every room in the house has an outside door. The neighborhood also has a bike lane.

To make this an even bigger miracle is that the people living in the house were what’s called house sitters. They did not want the house to sell so they would take the for sale sign out of the ground and lay it flat so people wouldn’t see it as they drove by. It was just by “accident” that it was up when we drove by.

I know this discovery happened because I imagined it and sent it out to the universe. What cemented it, though, was the enthusiasm I had for it and especially the outside access. It also helped that I was confident that I would get a great house and be set. I knew nothing would stand in my way! And nothing did.

So remember these elements:

• specifics are key 
• Visualization is vital 
• Nothing negative can get in the way
• Acting as if (I already owned it) 
• And the most important factor is excitement/enthusiasm
