the poster child for intention.
As you may know if you’ve been reading my blog for a while, my mom is all up in the world of motivational speakers. Two of her favorites are Dr. Wayne Dyer and Byron Katie. I’ve referred to Byron Katie before, but now I have to hand it to my mom for Wayne Dyer.
The Law of Attraction and Power of Intention was a bit much for me at first. I get all kinds of clippings from these two – via my mom – and it’s not really the angle I often take on life. I’m positive and strong, but some of it borderlines on playing with words to make something sound deep so people will really think. Though, I must admit that once in a while, I will really take her passage of the day to heart and give it a try.
In a nutshell, you get what you attract and you attract what you are (not necessarily what you want). If you say you won’t get something, you won’t. If you say you intend to get something, it will come if that is what you need.
Thanks to some serious support (mostly from my parents, but offered by many others), I was able to do what most people only dream of doing: I walked out of a toxic situation to pursue better things. The twist is that the toxic situation happened to provide my income. I was given one month to find a job that I had been looking for for almost two years.
For those two years, I was sometimes discouraged, negative, sometimes close to begging for something to just happen. I felt trapped.
As soon as I let go of everything holding me back, my entire attitude changed. I felt free and confident and sturdy. More so unemployed than I did when I was.. shall we say, “locked in.” And opportunities literally fell into my lap.
I have a job. I start on Tuesday. My life is awesome. More to come.
