I was staying in an apartment that someone let me use. One morning I headed out to do some shopping when I noticed that one earring was gone. They were silver hoops and I figured it would be easy to spot. It had to be either in the car, the apartment or somewhere outside on the short path to my car. I searched my car, the apartment and retraced my steps. No earring. I as upset as they were a splurge and I didn\u2019t want to lose one. I mean I REALLY didn\u2019t want to part with it.<\/p>\n<p>I became determined to find the earring. I affirmed over and over, \u201cI will find it.\u201d And \u201cMy earring will turn up. I kept searching and affirming but nothing. That night I affirmed it before going to sleep and in the morning I became more determined to find my earring. I spoke to a friend who warned that it was probably lost for good since it wasn\u2019t in the apartment or car and a day had passed. But I insisted that I\u2019d find it somewhere. I felt it with all my heart. And it went into my vibration.<\/p>\n<p>Later that day I went out. When I returned and got out of my car, I noticed something shining on the ground. It was my earring! I\u2019d walked by that spot several time since I\u2019d lost it, looking carefully and it wasn\u2019t there. But the Law of Attraction heard me and there was my earring. I was shocked and wondered how it got there\u2014to a spot I\u2019d checked before but one that made it hard for me to miss seeing it. My determination set up a vibration that brought the earring back to me! And it was in perfect shape!<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter how impossible it may seem to get or do something. The Universe doesn\u2019t make judgments. YOU do. If you decide something won\u2019t happen, it probably won\u2019t. But if you conjure up your determination to get what you want, you\u2019ll have a great chance of manifesting it. Miracles happen every day. I get many. So can you! Next time it looks like something isn\u2019t working out, cultivate a mindset of determination. If it\u2019s strong enough, you may get your miracle!<\/p>\n<p>See all the posts in my Law of Attraction in Action Series <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/2009\/01\/Law-of-Attraction-in-Action-Series.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<br \/>\n***************<\/p>\n<p>Join the <a href=\"http:\/\/howdoiloveme.com\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Self-Love Movement\u2122<\/strong><\/a>!

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start &amp; Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4248"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4248\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4251,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4248\/revisions\/4251"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
