My life is full of stops and starts. Some people might call them beginnings and endings. However life is described, I think we can say it is in constant motion. This last year has been lots of treading water and not a tremendous amount of movement in any direction. I have managed successfully kept myself out of the rip current and pulled out to sea.
I’ve gotten back in the boat, and I’m ready to chart a new course forward. I also have to get clearer on my intentions of where I want to go, how I want to get there, and who I want to bring along for the ride. One of the resources I found for this is Mike Dooley. I subscribe to Hay House Publishing’s newsletter, and I received the invitation to watch a free video series by Mike. He is best known for his “Notes to the Universe” and was featured in the Video “The Secret” based on the book of the same name by Rhonda Byrne.
Mike explains more about intentions, failing forward, and how the Universe can conspire to bring you the right people and opportunities. To be able to achieve this the Universe needs to know what it is you desire. Honestly right now what I desire is to get clarity on what I desire!
Mike’s advice includes writing down two things you’d like to achieve and two things you’d like to have. Here is a question for you. Is money something you achieve or something you have?Having a degree of wealth is an achievement and having that wealth through actions that bring you joy is also an achievement. Another question I have is what considerations do I make for my family? Do I just make one of the achievements that we achieve it together as a family? Can you have something that involves the actions and choices of another person on your want list?For example, being a grandparent is something I want. More specifically I want to be a grandparent that gets to be actively involved on a weekly basis with my grandchildren. This situation relies a great deal on my kids to make choices that would make this happen.
Over the next several weeks I will be working on my personal goals. This blog is a step in helping to uncover roadblocks and allow the necessary creativity to guide me in the process. We will see what secrets begin to unfold in my world.
