Changing thinking habits

It is one thing to change a habit. This is empowering, and soul satisfying. The more destructive the habit the more successful you feel. But it is quite another to change your thinking habits, because generally they are not given the same value as the physical habits. Yesterday I was presented with a proposal which made me squirm. I was not uncomfortable at the idea behind the proposal, far from it, it was more that I was uncomfortable in my own skin because I was being asked to accept this and my mind did not agree with it, even though it might want to. The proposal was that we should ask a friend who was offering us very cheap rent, to give us the opportunity to buy the house, for 66% of it's perceived (cheapest) market value, and then allow us to pay it off for less than the rent we would be paying. Now, that would be a great manifestation. But I couldn't bring myself to accept that this friend would do this even though they are very wealthy. I was annoyed at myself, that I couldn't stretch my comprehension to match my proposer. It made me feel very unmetaphysically. Well today, I feel I have seen the light. I can see clearly why the experience occured and how it fits in to the picture. The idea is to stretch my thinking, but release the content. It doesn't have to be that friend, which is the one I was resisting. If I was asked my the same proposer, to focus on the idea that someone, somewhere in my world is going to offer me that opportunity, and soon, then I would have accepted the proposal wholeheartedly. And this is in fact what I am charging my team to do. We are looking for a superb home. One that is free. We will own it, but it will be paid for by Homestay or the likes, and it will come at an incredibly low price with vendor finance. I am feeling metaphysical again.
