Call it the law of attraction. Or karma. Or just a spectacular coincidence.
But what would you call it if you had a conversation with your mentor about how you really really should think about speaking to others about your topic of passion, and not just in a casual way but in a Stand-Up-Before-You-And-Get-Paid fashion. Then you leave that person and stop at the library and check out a few books on public speaking before you pick up your son to go home. And at home the little light on your answering machine is blinking. And the nice lady who just left you a message says how she would like you to be the program speaker for her upcoming fundraising event.
I mean, what do you call that? Other than ah-mazing.
I'll take it, of course. And ask for many more helpings, please. If all I must do is focus on what I want to happen, which is sometimes harder to do than I would like, then I should get on that.
And so should you.
Maybe we should all sit down with a pen and pencil, and just focus in on a few things here this new year that we would like to happen. Maybe say them out loud a few times.
That way, whomever is listening can get right on the job of making our dreams come true.
LOVE this. Thank you for the reminder. I am sitting in my host family’s house in Vietnam wondering how I will make pay my bills when I return from this great big adventure around the world. But, faith in the universe providing has got me this far, so I just need to keep writing down my big goals and keep believing in the outcome. I would love to hear more about your public speaking gigs. It is an area I really hope to break into when I’m back in North America after my volunteer trip around the world.
I’m so glad this all resonated with you! We’ve all got to just keep on keeping on, because, at the end of the day, that is what life is all about. I’ll remember to post about my public speaking.
