Law of Attraction question: does the Universe have a sense of humour?

I received an email this morning from a reader:

"In the last few days I've been attempting to manifest a camcorder.I've been visualizing that i already have it and recording my 2 year old son. That in particular makes me extremely happy and emotional.Then out of the blue tonight at work was a DICK SMITH electrical brochure on my table in my lunch room. I opened it and two pages in was the camcorder section.

Now before this I had not thought about my camcorder since this morning. Was this a sign or does the universe have a sense of humour and that was my manifestation?"

I LOVE this question! It's a good reminder about one of Three Pillars: FOCUS.

This was my response:

"First, you ARE the universe, so the sense of humour is your own! Hahaha! You're funny! It's cool that you can crack yourself up. :)

Remember this about manifesting - it's not getting the 'thing' that is the real gift - the real gift is the emotion you feel when you think about recording your son - that is the real gift - the joy in connecting with your beautiful boy :)

You don't need a camcorder to do that.

When you eventually get the camcorder, then this will simply be another expression of your 'feeling happy vibe' - it is a reflection of what you are already feeling, not the SOURCE of the happiness.

Your focus in manifestation is never on the 'thing', but on how you'd like to feel. Then find the thoughts and do the things that allow you to express that desired feeling now - today. Like thinking about your son.

This way what you experience is a continual, delightful unfolding of wonderful events - all reflecting your dominant feeling vibration.

So is the brochure a 'sign'? If that makes you feel good, go with that!

Feeling good is always your main job - and that is the reward in itself. When you really 'get' that, then you'll know that the camcorder does not matter one iota - all you need are thoughts about your son.

This is the main rule in manifestation: think happy thoughts to feel good, and then you feel good! You do not need things to make you feel good. Ironically, this is how the things you'd like turn up in your life - by focusing on feelings, not the things.

As the Universe, you sure are clever! Tricky, but clever.

So keep finding thoughts that trigger those wonderful feelings of amazement and gratitude, and I guarantee you will be living a marvelous life.

But of course, you are already, aren't you?

Rock on!"
