Yesterday I met a friend who three years ago left a life as a corporate lawyer and has spent those years abroad in the sun being a dive instructor. Could she have chosen a better three years to be away from the UK? Possibly not... Is she happy to be back? You betcha...
We sat by the Thames and had an overpriced poncey lunch in the sunshine. She talked about her travels, the good, the bad, the things she loved and the the things she sorely missed - and I talked about my life, the good, the bad. I came away admiring her attitude - she seems to will good things into being. It just doesn't seem to cross her mind that things won't work out the way she plans them and I couldn't help wandering ...how/where does one acquire such a quality?
Well, it's not in B&Q, that much I know - though I suspect there may be some DIY process involved. There is a school of thought (cosmic ordering) that you can will things into being by asking the Universe. But to be honest, I think its more than that. Yes, you have to ask. And maybe your karmic balance has to be in tune before the Universe listens? But I've come to the conclusion that the secret ingredient is self belief.
If you believe in yourself and I mean REALLY believe - I think you wear it. It shines out of you, oozes through your pores and latches onto people you come into contact with. And likewise, if you don't fully believe, those little bits of negativity that you harbour in the creases of your brain, push their way through those pores.
Which means you don't get what you want. And not getting what they want is not what most people want?
For some people, they seek financial security.
Others, it's a much wanted pregnancy, a bigger house, a better job.
Some, its a book deal, world peace and health and happiness for all their loved ones (not much to ask for I know)
So, I'm going to try something different. And I'm going to try it for September. There's a LOT going on in my life over the next month but that's no excuse. I'm going to will it all into CALM being. And I'm going to have a course of action in my head, with specific results as if it were my ONLY course of action and ONLY result. Watch this space. I may be waving at you from dizzy heights. Scrap that. I will be waving at you from dizzy heights.

You're right, self belief is the key and yet it's such an elusive characteristic.
I think you're born with it, or grow up where it's imbibed into you. It's difficult to acquire it later.
You'll see it when you believe it (Wayne Dyer)
I hear you! Sending you all the positive vibes to fulfill your dream of self belief.
Oooh am I too late to join that September Club, Fi? I need some positive vibes injected through me and I know there's only one person who I trust to hook me up to the thing... YAY us!... em..right?
Debs - its never too late!! Lets keep in touch by email thru Sept? x
The power of positive thought is a useful thing, and I'm going to give it a go too this September. Good on ya!
Oddly enough, I absolutely and wholeheartedly am of the opinion that much of our lives are determined by our mental attitude.
We have to make our own reality and the best way to get it is to be it. Act as if you have whatever it is you want and it will appear - you'll have manifested it.
Something like that, anyway. Now where did I leave that million pounds?
I'm not sure the wanting and the self-belief in themselves are enough, but I do think those qualities mean you're far more likely to work hard at making them happe :o)
Always late to the party. I'm in the club too. Great post btw. Keep me posted. xx
bichi!
