An experiment in Energy...
I believe in positive energy. I believe in manifestation. I believe we can make things happen just by being grateful that they will. I believe that the inverse of all of those things is equally true...that fear, exhaustion and negativity can prevent things just as easily.
So I'm asking for some help...something I don't do all that often.
I have a great job. One I no longer love. I realize it's probably time to leave it for more meaningful pastures. But for the moment...I need it. And to do what I have planned next, I need the rewards that will come from doing it very well for the next six months. Then I can leave on my terms, if I still feel like I need to, and pursue my other dreams.
But I have struggled mightily the last few months, returning from leave has been a battle, and at the moment I am dangerously close to being fired for non-performance. Sales is an attitude game, and if your energy sucks, so do the numbers. My own hopelessness is manifesting everywhere I go...my best clients are downsizing, closing, going with competitive bids for the first time in five years, retiring. My only sales are piddly $300 upgrades not worth the time to do the paperwork on against a quota a hundred times that. Every visit is more time spent for nothing or loss, and I feel like I'm trying to suck water out of a dry sponge.
If I don't pull a couple miracles out of thin air in the next couple of weeks...by noon on Oct. 31, and at least the next three months after that, I will find myself unemployed and dangerously financially unstable somewhere between three weeks and two months from now. Just acknowledging that is more acknowledgement of "ick" than I'm usually willing to give the Universe to work with. But right now, it's official, it's in writing, and it's come at one of the hardest times of the year to succeed.
Last year, in an experiment in "feeling" prayer, I decided to be grateful for and assume the success of three impossible things, and all three happened. I had a hundred thousand dollar month (with only two weeks to spare and no prospects at the time), which is what I need now...a friend's broken fingers (seen on an x-ray in the ER the night before) turned out not to be broken the next day, AND I got a parking space on the hill.
This year, I even read the book again...but I cannot seem to muster the energy to create the luck I need right now, much less to do the impossible amount of work it takes to make it happen by sheer effort alone. I need help manifesting success.
So here's the request: If I've ever given you a gift of love and energy, send it back to me today and for the next few weeks if you can. You don't need to DO anything (unless you happen to own a Milwaukee law firm). Just be grateful for and expect my success, KNOW that it will happen, and that luck and positivity are mine, and that I will succeed. Be confident for me, and grateful to the Universe for providing. Be more positive than me. Just FEEL it.
Trust me that I will feel it, and that it will work for me. The only thing I don't know is how strongly I will feel a deliberate and concentrated effort by many of you. And THAT, I will happily post when we see the outcome. :-)
Thank you, all of you. I am grateful to have friends I would ask such a thing of...and even more grateful to know that they can and will.
