Wanting what you wish for...

Just a quick observation before I fall asleep.  I think too often we are vague with our wishes into the universe or even our prayers to God. 'I want...' And then we get what we were wishing for and it doesn't look ANYTHING similar to our expectation we are very disappointed maybe even angry. The question that I pose is what if when wishing or praying we be very specif. 

Often being granted what we wished for and is sometimes aggravating or a complete dud (if it comes to us at all).  This has happened in the past to me when I prayed for a job. But didn't say exactly what I needed to be happy at work. Or  recently a friend of mine got a dog, he as unaware of maybe some of the behavior issues the dog had prior to it's adoption. Now the money has been invested and the dog has become attached to the family. But if perhaps when putting out the desire to have a dog he could have considered the attributes that he would want in a pet.

Now that I think about it this concept actually worked for me concerning my current job. I put out the desire for job where there is respect within the kitchen, and that had benefits the bonus that I have is PTO. 

I am trying to better understand and implement the 'Law of Attraction' into my own life.

Getting Clients Relection


My thoughts a few days after my 'Getting Clients' module (class):
This class kind of gave me new vigor in what I really need to do to get clients in the short term to complete my course objectives and in the long term for my business. I speaking with my friend this evening I mentioned that I am continually realizing that there many people in my area that I am connected with who could become potential clients. When driving this week a business name came to me. There are many people that I know that can help me on the more technical and legal aspects.

At first when I started classes I really like learning the theories. And kind of thought that I needed to complete all my classes before doing the scary thing and commenced coaching and even scary to have the idea of my own business (even though that is my goal from the start). Now with my ICA training and my coach and my desire to grow, listen to blogs and gain confidence. I feel like I have renewed energy to truly pursue all that I need to make a successful business. And I feel as sense of calm knowing that ICA will help me with the speed bumps along the way and knowing that I am developing my own skills to cope with challenges in a new way.

Even today at work even though don’t have my 30 sec elevator speech perfected. I was able to answer precisely my co-workers ‘so what is the difference between coaching and counseling?’

Now as I almost fall asleep at my computer I wish for the spinny thing in Harry Potter (Prisoner of Azkaban) that allowed the wearer to repeat an hour or two in the day. Maybe then I could get done all that I want to accomplish. Hoping all is well with you and yours, till next time.
