What Was That Again?
Have you ever felt
like you were forgetting something important? Like
when you go to the grocery store for eggs, then you get home to
unload $100 worth of groceries only to find that you forgot the
eggs.
Only this particular
something important has to do with your life. Maybe you
remember for a fleeting moment that you used to have a goal or
a dream that made your heart go pitter-patter, that you
believed in something big and amazing and beyond who you are
today.
In that fleeting moment of
remembering, you feel a tingling in your skin, maybe a smile or
even, a tear of regret for having forgotten for so long. Then,
just as you're about to promise yourself that you will look at
that important vision of yourself a little closer, your kid
screams out because of a boo-boo on his knee, your boss drops
another assignment on your desk, the phone rings with some
annoying sales call, the cat throws up a hairball on your
foot... poof! The vision is gone, back to present
circumstances.
As you continue through your
day, the next day, your life, this feeling keeps creeping back
in on you, this feeling that you've forgotten to do something
important. "What was that again?"
Even if we do remember that
'something important' to our life - our
soul. We can easily rationalize away the fact
that we must continue to ignore or push it aside -
"I'm too old", “I don't
have the money,” “I'm too out of shape”, “People would laugh at
me”, “I don't have the education”, “My dog has fleas”...
whatever - we've all got perfectly legitimate
excuses.
This is not to trivialize the
obstacles, challenges and (I am familiar with), the life
threatening diseases and traumatic events that occur in
everyone's lives.
Regardless of your present circumstances
-
YOU Have A DREAM! - Remember
it...
I was steeped in worry,
unsure of my place or purpose in life, depressed, apathetic and
bone weary tired, just a short time ago. I could see the bottom
of the well.
We have lived in 7 different
houses in the last 6 years. The company my husband was with
moved us around at whim and made promises that were never
kept.
Our children have attended 5
different schools in that time period. Each move took an
emotional toll on the whole family. I began to feel as though
my only purpose and function in life was to search for a home,
sell a home, pack a home, move a home, unpack,
repeat..
Just as we would begin to
make friends and become part of a community - the change would
come. I got to where I no longer wanted to get involved with my
kid's schools or our neighbors, because I knew we would be
moving again and I just couldn't bring myself to allow new
relationships to form when I was sworn to secrecy because of
'the company's' circumstances. I didn't want to make friends
and begin the relationship with a lie.
I began to I feel like a
hollow shell of myself, going through my personal and family
obligations just to get to the next day. I so wanted my
children to be happy and my husband to love his work. He does
so much for us, I wanted him to do what makes him happy to
get out of bed everyday.
I was sad a lot, a felt as if
my life and my time were not my own. My mental frustrations
were causing me physical and emotional pain and I felt like I
had failed myself. All of the 'excuses' and rational
explanations I had for not living my 'own' life were holding me
down with a blind-fold from the truth...
...That I Do Have
the Power to Create the Life I
Want.
When my husband was
offered an opportunity with a small, private company, we
welcomed the chance for him to leave the 'big
corporation' that was running us ragged. The bad news was
it required another move across the country.
Intellectually, I knew it was
a move that was in the best interest for us all - but
emotionally - I crashed hard.
I labeled my breakdown
post-traumatic moving disorder. I was
steeped in the illusion that I had no control over my life,
that I just had to get through it and start over yet again. I
had become paralyzed to do, be or have more for myself because
I assumed I would have to set whatever it was aside for the
sake of the next move. Still, I had a gnawing inside that I was
supposed to be doing something important with my life,
something that would bring me satisfaction as well as
contribute to other people.
Luckily for me and hopefully
for you, I watched a movie called "The Secret". From the very
beginning of that movie, the feeling of 'remembering
something important' swept over me like a crashing
wave.
While listening to the
individual speakers discuss the "Law of
Attraction" I was thinking, "oh, Schelli, you
know this stuff, you know this is true - why have you
forgotten?" For the life of me, I could not figure out why I
had shut my self off from the abundance of opportunity all
around me. It was like an electrical power switch had been
flipped on inside my whole being. I am in
control of my life and my response to present
circumstances.
The connection to that
creative current wasn't always steady. Sometimes it came in
blasts of power, sometimes it seemed to shut down completely. I
would become consumed again with what was what was right in
front of me and lose sight of what I wanted to
have in my life. The self doubt would sweep over me as I
wondered if I was just being silly to think that I could
re-create myself into the successful, passionate, soul
inspiring human being I had imagined and believed myself to
be.
I needed more of what
'The Secret' had inspired in me. Great bursts of
inspiration only carry one so far. I needed sustenance and
encouragement and knowledge.
Food For
Thought
Enter
- "The Science of
Getting Rich" home
study program. This is the single most important tool I've
ever purchased. The program was created by three
of the teachers who appear in the DVD The
Secret, Bob Proctor (author of You Were Born
Rich, Jack Canfield (co-author of the Chicken Soup for the
Soul series) and Rev. Michael Beckwith
(founder of the Agape
International Spiritual Center).
Anyone can purchase the book,
"The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles. You can
even download it on the internet for free. But the program that
Bob and Jack along with Rev. Michael Beckwith have created is
like "The Science of Getting Rich" graduate course. Their
observations, analogies and testimonials to Wattles' writings
are invaluable.
I began listening to the CD's
in my car and the MP3 player on hikes and while
packing. However, the workbook that accompanies the
program was the real catalyst for change.
Participating in the writing
exercises brought immense insight as to what it is that I truly
want to have show up for me and my family every day.
Not only what it is that I
want - but how to get it - how to attract it into my life - how
to become the magnet that draws the success, relationships,
circumstances, health and wealth that I desire to me - instead
of me searching or chasing it, or worse - just giving up
altogether.
This is the tool that helped
me define my purpose, my priorities, my dreams and aspirations
with clarity. The SGR program is the power pack that kept that creative
current switch in 'on' position.
Within just a couple of
months, the resources I needed in regards to time, money and
tangible items began to manifest - some in very surprising
ways! We found the perfect new home (for less than expected).
We now have the means for our kids to attend oustanding private
academies. My husband and I both do what we love and love what
we do.
...And it just keeps getting
better! Now I have a strong desire to tell other people that
this program really works, by wonderful, mysterious and
scientific LAW.
