Thank you all very much for your kind comments regarding yesterday’s post. I am feeling totally charged and ready to rock. Woot!
Ann commented about something I meant to add to the original post, and that’s about Putting Yourself Out There and Asking the Universe. I’ve written about this before. I know it sounds hokey but I totally believe it.
I think the idea of The Ask is a two-fold kind of thing:
You have a goal. Something you want to achieve. Step (1) Ask the Universe (or your god or whatever). You have to ask out loud. It’s not good enough to whisper it into your pillow at night or keep it buried deep inside your heart of hearts. If you ask the universe it will deliver, but it won’t be via FedEx. You have to take some action too, but the first step is to put it into words.
I also believe this is all mixed up with karma. Good things will happen to good people.
Step 2) Ask someone for something you need in order to help achieve your goal. If you ask someone for help you won’t be in it alone. Need guidance? Support? Babysitting? Someone to drag you off the couch? Ask. If you don’t, you’ll just go on wondering/suffering/living without achieving the thing you truly desire.
What’s the worst thing that can happen?
I know this is a big question for a Wednesday morning, but I’d love to know what you’re dreaming about and what kind of goals you want to achieve. I think it’s something we need to take time to think about. It’s too easy for our dreams and goals to get lost in the minutia of everyday life.
So here’s my question for you: What are you asking for? And how are you get it?
- Is it a new job? If so, can you narrow it down and start asking people if they can keep an eye out for interesting opportunities?
- Is it a mompreneur kind of thing? You want to sell knitted baby hats at craft shows but don’t know where to begin?
- Has it always been your dream to be a sommelier/photographer/pastry chef? If so, what steps can you take to get there?
Anyway. This is all rambling about in my head and it’s come out all higglety-pigglety. I have to get back to work! So over to you.
