Why You Don't Always Have to Do Everything for Success
Have you ever heard about the power of intention? It is a wonderful thing. Usually it's not really your thoughts you steer your life with. It's more your feelings that contain the energy that attracts the things, people and events that correspond to it.
The most important thing is that when you want something, you have to be prepared to do everything in order to achieve it. (I see the confusion slowly spreading over your face... What is she talking about?)
That's right: you have to be willing to do everything for your success. You have to be ready to go to world's end and back in order to succeed and obtain the very thing you desire.
But you don't necessarily have to go as far as actually do that.
The Universe Is Quicker Than You Think
Now, why am I saying all this?
Because the Universe is so "wise" and powerful that it often senses (can the Universe sense...?) that you are so determined, so passionate about what you desire. That you're radiating "Yes, I want this thing so much that I'm ready to do anything for it" vibes. And voilá: the Universe helps you to get you closer to your goal. So that even though you are about to take action, you simply no longer need to do it because you are sort of "pulled" to the goal. Or your goal is "pulled" to you.
You Don't Have to Feel Like Taking Action
Having to take action on the way to success sometimes feels awkward, right?
"Oh, I don't feel like making this phonecall" - yet you do it (at best), for you know that that very phonecall can lead you to a dreamjob, for instance.
Still, what I truly love is when I don't have to make the phonecall. Like a couple of months ago when I was on vacation, I was ready to call an employer after returning home. Well, I didn't have to. They called me.
A few years ago when I was looking for a job, during the first week of being unemployed, I was going to look up various headhunters and ask what they got. In the end, I didn't need to. I was offered to work as a receptionist at my mom's workplace. They happened to need someone and heard I was seeking a job. What is more, that merit helped me to get my first receptionist job in Sweden last summer.
Two weeks ago I had run out of contact lenses and needed to buy ones. I knew they were going to cost me a bit and as it turned out, due to me not having had an eye-sight check for 2 years, I could only buy lenses if I asked for an appointment for a new check-up. A new eye sight check means more expenses. And currently I have no job. It "hurt" a bit but I wanted new lenses. Well, I needed them. (So why is this story so special? Because I know several people who rather not buy stuff that would make their lives easier just because it's expensive and they just walk away cursing at the prices and people who set the prices and don't buy the stuff. So their lives won't get easier either.)
Well I thought I needed good eyesight, so I agreed to pay the price. Actually I had to go to another place due to the first two places being fully booked (ah, all the trouble...) to have my eyesight checked ... only to learn that they happened to have a special offer and if I was willing to buy a supply enough for 6 months, I could get the check-up for free. As only one of my eyes needs a lens, a supply for 6 months means only one package for me. And that was exactly what I was planning to buy. I was even told that my old lenses were of bad quality so I got better ones and even learned that my eyesight had improved. Was I happy?
Life Is Hard If You Make It Hard
You see, life doesn't have to be hard. If you know how to play with it, you can enjoy it to the fullest and make the best of it.
Intend to feel good.
Intend to reach your goal.
And you will surely be helped out, I promise.
