To very crudely paraphrase the Walt Wattles writing of Science of Getting Rich in
"Betsy-isms" --- You put your wants,
desires, wishes and dreams in to the Goo and then you work your ass off getting
prepared so your life is at a place where you can readily accept your wants,
wishes and dreams coming true when the Goo hands them to you.
With all the trendy positive thinking going around and for various
other reasons I have hear over and over again: "State your wishes."
"The Universe will manifest your dreams." "All you have to do is
want it hard enough." However, I never really believed it. I never
understood the phrase "manifest" and thought it was being over used.
As for the Science of Getting Rich I have read the book in
part a couple of times. I have the book on cd read by a good friend of mine
(click here for your own copy) and listened to it a lot while driving. I've
been part of a weekly phone conversation dissecting the book and the variety of
meanings. So, some might say, I've been around the block with it.
BUT that last phrase has never made it into my consciousness. "Work your ass off so your life is at a
place where you can accept your dreams"
It's interesting to realize how after understating the missing
line, I began to see it over and over in my life. (Unfortunately, I see it where
I didn't fully put the instruction in to play.) I can see how much of an impact
it made on my dreams and life.
I've been struggling with my interior design studio and
twice the Goo has handed me opportunities for beautiful direct marketing
perfectly targeted at my clientele. Alas, I didn't have my life in-tune to be
able to accept it. Even after having it handed to me once I didn't prepare so I
could jump on the chance the second time around. Kind of makes you wonder if I
really wanted THAT dream.
Dream #2 -- the Goo attempts to fulfill wants I ask of it
and "manifests" yet another desire I have been longing for and yet again
I didn't prepare my life so I would be able to easily accept it.
It's frustrating to know I want do "it"; there's an
opportunity to do it and someone wants me to do it ... But because I choose to
avoid reality by watching a movie, another TV show or playing just-one-more with
the snooze or a game on the iPad I miss the signs, the chances. I miss living
my ideal life.
Good thing I have my dreams... That I have a stubbornness...
And I have determination that won't let me pass my dreams by (at least the ones
I really and truly want). So with that, today, even though my life isn't perfectly
aligned, and I'm not fully ready; I'll still jump, with 2 feet, into a new life
the Goo has provided for me this time. I wish it would be a beautiful graceful
swan dive... But, I have a feeling it will look more like a belly flop.
Now I ask you ---
- What are you projecting into the Goo?
- What are your hopes and dream you want the most in life?
- And MOST importantly, as I've learned, what are you doing to when your desire are handed to you, YOU can readily accept them....
