When you lose sight...

I learned some news today.  Nothing Earth-shattering.  Good news for someone I respect and admire, really.  So why did I start crying from such a core of despair?  My first thought was (instead of, cool!  She got a promotion!), "Great, now I'm even further removed from moving up around here!"  That was followed by, "I don't get it.  Other people say, when I call, "Oh, I'm so glad it's you.  You're our favorite!"  Or "I am so grateful to be working with you."  "I can always count on you to think out of the box and find the perfect solution!"  News like what I read today makes me want to shout, "DON'T TELL ME - TELL SOMEONE WHO MATTERS!"  Whoa.  Wait a minute.  Damn it, I matter.  I know what I mean... I mean, please tell my superiors who will miraculously say, "Hey, you know who is a great motivator, mentor, and leader and would be perfect for this job?"


I have lost sight of what I know to be true.  Negative thought breeds negative outcomes.  Allowing the minutia of life to keep you from practicing positive intention - letting stress immobilize you to the point that you stop taking care of your whole self - only perpetuates the negativity. By affirming - by believing even when it's tough to believe - makes the positive intentions not only possible but reality.

Thank you, Louise Hay, for teaching me how to affirm - even if I only half believe it and am repeating the current mantra through tears:

I AM WORTHY OF ACHIEVING MY AMBITIONS AND DREAMS!  I AM OPEN AND READY TO RECEIVE A PROMOTION THAT WILL MEET MY CAREER AND FINANCIAL GOALS AS WELL AS MY NEEDS AND THE NEEDS OF MY FAMILY!

THERE.  It's out there.  C'mon Universe.  Do your stuff.  Because I really am open and ready to receive.  I am worthy of recognition of my talents and skills - not just in "woohoos" but in tangible ways that positively impact my finances. 


So I state again, thank you for all I have achieved and all I have.  I am truly blessed.  I am ready to move forward in positive ways that puts me in a position of leadership and mentorship; that provides for me and family in ways that allows us to live comfortably, meeting all of our obligations with ease and having plenty with which to play and to share with others.
