Wow, it's been a while ... since I've written in
my blog that is. The good news is I've been a busy little bee. Or is it
beaver? Either way I've been busy !!
Training is going great, and the even better news is I still love my job. I doubled my training hours from October to November, but I still have a long way to go. Like most things in life, there are tons of opportunities out there, you just have to go out and get it.
A friend saw a memo on my Blackberry a few weeks back that I had titled "Law of Attraction". He inquired as to the meaning so I showed him the contents of it:
Fours Steps to Deliberate Creation:
1) Identify what you DON'T want.
2) From that, identify what you DO want.
3) Get into the feeling place of what you want.
4) Expect, listen, and allow it to happen.
I thought he would laugh at me or roll his eyes back in an "oh brother" type fashion, but it turns out he's a fan of the movement, for lack of a better word. He claims to have used it to get to where he is today, and he's doing pretty damn well for himself.
He recommended another book to me, quite possibly the bible of all self-help books ever published. It’s called Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill. It was written in the 30's, making it a bit of a difficult read, but I'm muddling through it as best I can. There is an updated version referred to as the 21st-Century Edition, however I decided to purchase the original publication and read it as it was intended.
The book teaches you not only how to achieve monetary wealth, but the author claims the philosophy taught in the book can be used to help individuals succeed in all lines of work and to do or be almost anything they want in this world.
Sweet :)
It took Mr. Hill over twenty years to research the book, and the contents are based on his close association with a large number of individuals who achieved great wealth during their lifetimes.
This new (to me) book has a slightly different mantra than the one quoted above. Rather than having the reader believe riches will flow to you simply by closing your eyes tight, wishing really hard and envisioning it happening, this author explains that you have to work hard to get what you want in life. Duh !!
He does however, reiterate the theory that you have to think positively and truly believe it will happen in order to succeed. Part of his intonation is as follows:

Steps for Transmuting Desire
Into Reality:
1) Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. Be definite as to the amount.
2) Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire.
3) Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.
4) Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.
Notice the parts about giving something in return
for the money, and creating and carrying out a plan ?? Perhaps it’s time to update my Blackberry
memo.
He goes on to say you should write out your plan
as stated above, read it out loud daily, and see and feel and believe yourself
already in possession of the money.
I had begun to feel discouraged in my work :( Yes, I was training and progressing with my work load, but quite literally at a snail's pace. After reading just a few chapters, my outlook started to change. I think I just needed a quick reminder, something to help me refocus my energies and correct my diminishing attitude. What I needed was a good swift kick in the butt - no more woolgathering for me !!
With a shift in my mindset my clientele grew, as did my disposition. And perhaps the best news of all is I'm feeling more positive and enthusiastic about my career prospects than ever before. I have a new plan of attack, and I didn't even wait to jump on the resolution bandwagon.
To quote another famous Napoleon, Bonaparte that is ... "He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat".
I will not let fear defeat me ... the only thing I fear is spiders ;-)
