For the next 24 hours try this exercise – speak your life into being.Speak as though the life you desire is unfolding right now.For example, want a new job?For the next 24 hours say to yourself, I have a new job – it’s fantastic.I can’t believe it – just fell into my lap.Feel this new job.Think about the new office, maybe your desk is there – what photos are on the desk?
Or maybe you are lonely and want a fuller life.What if you began saying to yourself – people like being around me.I get invited places.People feel good when they are around me.I have good friends.
Or possibly you feel overwhelmed, stressed and are looking for support.What if you said to yourself, support shows up, unbelievably when and where I least expected it.Feel how good it would be to feel supported, feel a lending hand enter your life…
Just give it a try and let the magic unfold – opportunities appear and doors open when you believe…What have you got to lose, but everything to gain????
I was thinking this as we got out of the car in front of the San Jose airport in Costa Rica.We were flying home.The driver was paid and tipped.I would never convert this money back into US dollars as it would be a too much of a hassle for less then $10.I knew when I got home I would stuff my few colones in a drawer, only to discover it again a few years from now…almost useless to anyone.
Then I saw him.An old man sitting in his wheel chair, missing parts of both legs clutching his begging jar with the words crudely written, God Bless.I felt elated as I walked over to him. Looking him squarely in the eyes and whispering, God Bless, I handed him the money.
Absolute joy broke across his face, because here, $5000 colones is a lot of money.What I could easily stuff in a drawer thoughtlessly can make his life easier, if just today.Whenever I see a beggar I think of God and I want to share.
I didn’t always believe this as I used to think beggars to be losers really.If they wanted get off the streets they could was my thinking.I wasn’t going to support their bad habits and drinking to say the least.I then saw the movie Conversations With God and my entire belief was altered.I realized how easily any of us could fall into this place with a few poor choices or even no choices, just a health crisis.
I started looking at the homeless not as strangers but like me.Haven’t I been like them?Wouldn’t I go buy a bottle to comfort me if all was seemingly lost?Haven’t I struggled for years with enough too?
This is when I decided to give – to show the world, including myself, I am a person who gives to the homeless for no other reason than gratitude.I am grateful for these opportunities to share – out loud, without judgment.Frankly I am joyful because I know I am saying to the world, “I live in the hand of God, all my wants will be met. Here is my open hand – outstretched for you, let me help you…”
When the homeless man at the airport took the money from my hand, we looked deeply into each others eyes and before he could say anything, I said thank you.He smiled, nodded his head and thanked me too.It was I who felt blessed.
I felt like I had slipped into an old bible story with the stranger knocking at the door, begging for help, and I answered the door, warmly, knowing I have much to share easily and effortlessly…
These past months I feel a bit like I’m in the boat, sails up yet no rudder – the wind is sporadic.Sometimes I seem to be spinning in the same circles around and around.Other times – I feel dead in the water yet still other days, I find myself zooming off into directions unknown.Interestingly I know I am not alone.
I hear it over and over from my friends, from people I haven’t spoken to in months and from many of my clients – I just don’t know which way to turn, but something’s gotta give.I’ve questioned myself – is this how it has always been?Are we always on the edge in some way or is this something bigger?
I am relentlessly optimistic.I always, always, always believe there is a brighter day.The darkest part of the night only emboldens me to hold on tighter and wait for dawn, as I know it comes.Unfortunately it doesn’t always come in my timing however…Gratefully one of the gifts in being almost forty years old is I’ve known miracles.I have seen amazing things come to pass out of nowhere, hence I know dawn comes…eventually.
I have learned that sometimes wandering the desert or in a rudderless boat can carry you to places unexpected and magical.Somehow I had forgotten this – I had become one of the adults in The Little Prince…
A few weeks ago, I decided to enjoy the boat again, even if the rudder seems to be missing for awhile.I know my compass is true, the people I love are abroad and the adventure is now…
Recently I have been contacted by many previous clients that are “so close” to the change they seek – be it a new job, a move, a letting go, peace, whatever the transformation – so close…What to do when you are so close?
1.Remember you are so close.You have come very far, this “so close” anxiety is exactly what happens right before you reach your goal.When I entered month ten in pregnancy I was sure I was pregnant for life, but I would comfort myself with the knowledge I didn’t in fact know any woman that were pregnant for life…So close.
2.Ride the wave.Unfortunately one of the by-products of transformation is tension.There is this hinge point between what was and now what will be.Maybe you are experiencing delays or set-backs, miscommunications, bad luck , things breaking – stop, take a breath and sit down.You are on a wave, sit back and let it carry you.
3.Focus on the result you do want. Instead of getting hung up on the what-ifs and worst-case scenarios, focus on what you do want.Try meditating and see yourself working at that new job, or living in a new home, or truly living in peace…You are so close, closer then you know.
4.Laughter.When is the last time you had fun?Nothing helps “so close” become the past more then enjoying life right now.Watch a comedy, call a friend, whatever – just giggle, the more uncontrollable the better.
May you discover the delays were gifts and the transformation is richer for it…
