You get what you expect

I keep reading and hearing that our world is a feeling based universe. Makes sense, as before language, we were just communicating feelings, much like animals.

And I've read, ask for what you want with the feeling of already having received it. So you thank for what you want as if you have it in your hands.

I can see my flawed thinking. I've lived as if what I want is out of reach, the feelings I have on a regular basis are; not yet, or it won't really happen, or oh well, I'd better take what I can get, cause the 'real' thing ain't coming.

Now I can see my 'job' is to catch myself inside of those feelings and chang them to one of prosperity, or 'I have it already and I am grateful".

It's a harder job than I ever thought to catch myself thinking inside scarcity, lack, doubt and worry. That is so common, that's the normal way of thinking. I risk looking foolish, and like a kind of dunderhead with my mind in the clouds. I didn't realize I was so influenced by what others thought of me. Must be something I learned as I've aged, cause I certainly never cared before. Like a gentle snowfall, my worry of what others think of me has crept silently into my thoughts, indistinguishable.

So the phrase "You don't get what you want, you get what you expect" now makes more sense than ever.

Receiving

Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart." Sarah Ban Breathnach

I have heard myself; and a few of my friends say, "Okay! I'm ready to receive NOW...any time NOW....I've given enough NOW, it's time for me to GET."

Yeah, I've said it more than a few times. Funny thing, with that attitude I don't get what I'm looking for. Or if I do get it, I don't recognize it.

For years I was looking for the reincarnated Clark Gable to swoop me off my feet, fall in love with me and ask me to marry him. It never happened. All the time I usually had a great Clark Kent right next to me, but I wasn't in a mind set to receive. I wanted someone else to validate me. And come on, Clark Kent just didn't feel validating. When I could feel my worth, then I was ready to really love someone.


So, what does the mean for me about my dream job?

I keep reading that the universe will respond abundantly to the vibration of whatever I am passionate about, focused upon, committed to, and what I really believe is possible.

"really believe is possible"

I asked myself "what do I really believe is possible?"

I found all sorts of negative thoughts and feelings there. Aha! I thought, like Sherlock Holmes. No wonder!

These negative thoughts and feeling sneak in, they know every crack, and back door through my positive armour. I could feel the truth of how I really think, how I constantly judge and evaluate myself, and how that keeps me from an abundant frame of mind.

Each morning as I wake up, I say over and over, "Thank you" I picture myself having fun at work, feeling fulfilled, joyful at what I am doing. I actually got myself to tears this morning picturing myself in this new capacity.

Well, that's what I've got for today! Thanks for reading along. Love and prosperity to you all
