It's a funny thing how the universe seems to be working right now...with every day that passes I become more and more convinced in the power of energies that flow amongst us and play out in the activities that we call life. We do get what we put out there....what we intend...what we focus on...it's no joke! Back in college one of my roommates always seemed to make things work for her..."wow! she's lucky" we all thought....but now I look back and have figured out that she simply has always lived life intending purposefully...placing her true desires into the universe and then stepping aside to let them play out...She got "the Secret" long before it was ever a popular book/movie/philosophy, etc. Not sure where she learned that behavior, but I'm glad I was exposed to it back then because I can now use it as a reference in much that I do today...
Over the last 1 1/2, I have been placing the desire to change into the universe...I got on the Obama bandwagon during the latter part of the campaign for the same reason...change is necessary--not always easy or pleasant--but nevertheless necessary. So I began to place my desire for self fulfillment and a happier existence into the universe....I wanted happiness in the workplace...in my relationships with family and friends...and in my marriage...Well, like I said...I've been putting it out there, and now I realize that the universe heard me loud and clear and has been working it's magic to change my life to meet my intentions...
My new job is evidence of this. Yes, I have worked hard to achieve all that I have, but the way in which this job came to me has left me feeling very much an instrument of the forces of the universe...it simply all arranged itself in a way that still amazes me...nothing could get in the way of this job for me...and so I simply did not question the path before me and followed through, intending the best outcome at all times...
My relationships have taken a similar path...especially over the past 8 months. I intended to reconnect with old friends; I intended to create time and space for myself in my hectic life---something I had lost sight of for many years; I intended to allow myself happiness in relationships that offered me support without feeling guilty about the time needed to foster these relationships--knowing that time away from my family in the efforts to create a more centered, fulfilled self, was not negative at all--embracing the idea that "selfishness" can be healthy. This was a very important change for me because I always desired to see my mom as an independent woman, with likes, dislikes and activities outside of us her children. That's the kind of woman I want my daughter to have as a role model--a healthy, well-rounded individual who never loses sight of herself. That is the woman I believe I am becoming. Sometimes I have to take baby steps to get there, but I know I am on the right path...
My marriage is also undergoing change, and I'm not sure about where it is headed to be honest. I feel connected to our past, but not certain of our future. I have intended for it to be more authentic, more supportive and, more balanced if possible, but I continue on the path of discovery about the changes that I am undergoing in this arena. I have learned to respect the powerful of intentions, so I must attempt to clarify for myself what I intend for this part of my life because once I put it out there, the universe starts its magic!
So, yes Mr. Obama, change is the order of the day, and not just with the economy or world affairs. My change comes from within as does everyone's, so maybe we all just need to be more purposeful in what we intend to truly start the ball rolling down the path on which we want to travel!
