Missing In-Action / 9th Apr 2010
![]()
Hello, remember me?
I know it's been a while and as the title of this article suggests "yes I've been missing in-action!" Note the hypen in the last word of the previous sentence because it's important. I had to learn to slow down to get more done. I was living life like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, always in a hurry to get to the destination rather than enjoying the journey.
By slowing down and creating space for myself I was able to get clarity on what really mattered to me and what I really wanted. You see in my business I was doing stuff that I wasn't enjoying to please and do for others and it was draining me. It was blocking time and opportunities for the things that I really wanted to cultivate. When you clear the clutter, eliminate the negative thinking and doing, and focus on what you do want and enjoy, life is so much easier. And the opportunities? Well, they seem to be flowing and therein lies the work of the law of attraction my friend.
So to quote a Spice Girls song 'Tell me what you want, what you really, really want?
Create some space for yourself and ask that question again and again until you get to the core of your desire. Don't be tempted to list your don't wants, that route takes you off target. Get clear about what you do want. Make a list of the things you could do to move you closer to what that is and over the next 90 days work your way through the list, one successful step at a time.
