Like I said before, I have been reading alot and learning alot and one thing that I have not so much learned as I have had re-established in my mind is this: when you work hard to get something, it comes to you. The universe is filled with nothing but possiblity. As much as we tend to think that the universe is mostly filled up with empty space, I look at it as possibilities. Take a look at it this way. Say you fell terribly sick one day and you didn't know why. What is your first reaction? Mine would be to think of the least fatal possility and try to figure out if I am right. Some may jump to fatal conclusions. Some may not even notice or care. Some may call all their friends and say their goodbyes. All of these possibilties of thought are at hand when you find something like this. Then, there are just as many, if not more possibilities to how to treat it or what it happens to be. Those initial thoughts are only that: initial. Life is full of possibilities. The Universe is nothing more than random thoughts pushed through into what we call "reality"... imagaine this: everything starts out as just an idea... a flutter of thought. If everything you see around you started out as a thought, is it safe to say that even our thoughts are part of this abstract "reality"? YES! The Universe is nothing more than possilities. If you can grasp that concept, anything you want is yours. Everything you dream can come true. Every person you want to meet, every place you want to go, everything you need and want is right here... in your mind..
Now that I have said that... I have been trying to find another place to live and other jobs and for a moment I didn't know how I was going to make it all happen. That is a sign that it was going to happen. When you desire something do not under ANY circumstances doubt its possibility. Do not think about HOW it will happen. That is the univers's job to figure out how. And that is the ONLY job of the universe. You have to figure out all the rest. Why, where, when, how much, how far, how high, for how long... these are all things we think about when we fantasize anyway... so our job is limited to this: fantasizing. How amazing does that sound? All your life you probably heard that you have to work hard for money, that nothing comes easy, that everything is big and scary and impossible. I grew up listening to that same bullshit too. But, when I realized that life being hard was not necessarily a BAD thing as long as I was working hard doing what I loved, it all became clear to me. These people who told me this were people who were working too damn hard and not doing what they loved. They worked all the time and never left and explored the world. Another concept I learned along this way... this world is ours... we live here, this is our home. It is not very big if you look at it from space. Why not take all you can from it? We only live but a breath on this earth... and it was given to us as a gift... what good is a gift if we never open it? This world is our big playground. Everyone in this world is our playmates. This is how I think and feel and so far, it has brought me a world of joy and adventure... money is to be used and not stashed away for the emergency that never happens. Listen to this: for every breath you exhale, you are losing moments of your life. How is THAT for an emergency? Don't waist this precious gift of life. Don't waste our world that is also a gift. don't waste time hindering your devine right to fantasize and create and love. Do all of this, and you will never be the same again.

Everything Works Out in the Universe of Endless Possibilities.

I like the attitude about possibilities, but still Troy, the world is just a little more complex than fantisizing. We do live in a knowledge based society, with global competition. Knowledge is king, more so than ever before. Better, faster, cheaper; the blink of an eye, and everything can change; a double edged sword. With the advent of the internet, knowledge is becoming ubiquitous. This paradigm shift may take decades to unfold, but surely a positive attitude is the seed for any success. Yes, the universe provides, but you still have to find a way to get out there and grab some of what you want; it's not all brute force or desire. It is said that money is nothing but stored energy. I do like your thoughts on not stashing all of it away. You made one point about doing what you love. If you can do that, you will master what you are doing, and success will follow; it's practically axiomatic. I hope you're now ready to tackle something you would love to do. From your recent posts, it seems your leaving your current vocation, which I think is a good thing; it's not really sustainable, and won't provide you with much more than superficial rewards. You're much too thoughtful, aware and talented to not move on to something else. Now remember, it's not about about the external, how much, how fast, how big. It's what you feel inside, your intrinsic worth, your contribution, that will solidify your sense of self worth and happiness. I wish you would share what you're next endeavor might be. You're curiously cryptic, are you not sure yet?
You probably have heard of this quote, "Luck is the residual of hard work". Do the work, the results will follow. No shortcuts, but honest hard work in whatever you do. Most importantly, if you don't love it, you probably will never put in the requisite amount of work required to prosper. That's where a lot of people go wrong. They might tolerate it, or think they like what they are doing, but they don't. Therefore, they shortcut and never get where they want to go. Make sure you love what you do, and yes, the universe will respond in kind. Another author I will recommend to you is Barbara Sher. Read some of her works for insight. That is, after you read the Alchemist. :-)
Now you've got two reading assignments. You'd better get busy. LOL
