When you say, "I want this thing to happen that hasn't happened yet," you are not only activating the vibration of your desire, but you are also activating a vibration of the absence of your desire - so nothing changes for you. And often, even when you do not speak the second part of the sentence and you say only "i want this to happen," there is an unspoken vibration within you that continues to hold you in a state of not allowing your desire.

But when you say "Wouldn't it be nice if this desire would come to me?" you achieve a different sort of expectation that is much less resistant in nature.

Your question to yourself naturally elicits from you a more POSITIVE, EXPECTANT response. And so, this simple but powerful game will cause a raising of your vibration and an improvement in your point of attraction because it naturally orients you toward the things that you want.
