Free Experiment
Posted in Uncategorized on October 13th, 2009 by admin – 2 CommentsTwo weeks ago, I decided to do an experiment. I would see how many things could I find for free. The point of my experiment being, that if you focus your attention on something (free stuff), you will find it! So, I began by just going about my daily routines, no going out of my way to find free things, just seeing if free stuff would appear before me in my every day errands. The first day, I (or rather my daughter) was presented with a huge yellow smiley face balloon, free…in fact the very pregnant woman working in the store ran outside to give it to her! Next I drove by a free washer and dryer, then 2 free couches!
In the next few days, I was offered free tea twice, free pizza, free art demonstrations, free cereal, free downloads, I came across free wood, free carrots, free tomatoes, two bags of free children’s clothes, a free dress, free whistle, and 3 free meals. The best of all has to be two free kittens, who are giving our family free love, cuddles, and companionship!
A successful experiment, I think! I once heard of an experiment done on luck where a group of people who described themselves as lucky and a second group who described themselves as unlucky, both were asked to walk on a sidewalk for one block. A one hundred dollar bill was placed on the sidewalk. The results were overwhelming, the people who felt they were unlucky, did not find the money, even though they literally walked right over it, whereas the group who felt they were lucky found the $100!
So, consider yourself lucky and start looking for all that free stuff that is out there!
