Ask for What You Want

"The winds of grace blow all the time. All we need do is set our sails."

~ Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

Sometimes we sit and wait for good things to happen, and sometimes we are disappointed that we are not getting what we had hoped for.  At the same time, in order to get what you want, you need to declare it--you need to say what you want and be ready to receive it.  Once you declare your intention, you "set the sails" toward making it happen.

This week:  If there is something you would like, state it as an intention.  Come right out and say "I want _______."  Tell someone "I'm going to do what I need to do to get ___________."  Breathe a deep breath into that intention.  Enrich it with your breath and energy.  Feel that desire and intention throughout your whole body.  Notice if there is any ambivalence.  If there is, try changing your words until you can say them without any resistance.  Now notice what happens.  At the end of the week notice if you are any closer to achieving that intention.

Take Your Own Life's Journey

"No one saves us but outselves.  No one can and no one may.  We ourselves must walk the path."

~Buddha

People often look outside themselves for something or someone to save them or change their situation.  While it is fine to get information or assistance, the decision of what to do and how to do it remains with you.  It is ultimately your journey in this life and no one else can take it for you.  Pretending you are not responsible for your life keeps you stuck waiting for a rescuer that cannot save you.  It keeps you a victim.  To save yourself you have to take your own action.

This week:  Look at your life honestly.  Are you waiting for someone else to tell you what to do?  Are you waiting for someone or something to happen to allow you to move forward?  If so, look inside.  Challenge yourself.  Ask yourself if you are hoping someone else will do the hard work for you?  Are you hoping someone else can/will save you?  If so, make a decision that you can and will do it yourself.  Find one small thing you can do that will orient you toward solving your problem.  It doesn't have to be big.  Relegate others to being your support or your consultants, but stop expecting them to fix things for you.  It is your path to walk and you CAN do it!

Invest More to Get More

"I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often."

~ Brian Tracy

In order have more luck, you need to be willing to invest yourself.  You need to believe in yourself and the outcome you are seeking.  When you are willing to give your all, you will notice more and more opportunities.  You will notice that your passion for your outcome carries your forward and creates its own "luck."

This week:  What area of your life would you like more "luck" in?  Now look at how invested you really are in that area.  Are you taking chances?  Are you active?  Are you showing up fully and passionately?  Are you really invested in getting your results?  If not, take some steps in increase your investment and passion about this area and what you want to see happen.  Believe it.  Now notice what opportunities show up for you.  Althugh you may not take them all, you will begin to notice that the opportunities become more abundant.
