Of all the 7 1/2 things, this is my most recent acquisition. When I was at my mother-in-law’s house over Thanksgiving, she shared a DVD with us. Both my husband and I were reluctant to see it because we usually don’t spend time on self-help/inspirational videos, but we agreed to watch it because we love and respect her. Was I ever happy I did! The program was “The Secret” based on the book by Rhonda Byrne. Now, there has been plenty of Law of Attraction stuff floating around for years, but I was never able to embrace it. I always end up thinking of every negative scenario that could possibly happen—I think of it as prior planning. In the past year or so, though, I have begun to realize that despite my “prior planning”, I am still no better prepared for the negative things that come my way. Because of this video, I have decided to block my prior planning thoughts and concentrate on my goals as if there was a foregone conclusion that they would come to pass.
Currently, I am planning to learn to speak Spanish. It will be a third language for me, and I think it will open up a whole new world of communication. I hope I will be able to use in my work to serve patrons better. There are two six-week courses that I plan to take. Now, instead of thinking: “I can’t possibly learn a new language in just twelve weeks!” “I won’t be able to find anyone who is willing to be patient enough to speak to me while I am learning and when I make mistakes!” “The spoken language is usually so fast that I won’t be able to catch up!” I plan on welcoming the right teacher into my life when the time comes. I already know that I am a fast learner when it comes to language arts, so twelve weeks should be no problem if I am easy with my goal. I don’t need to be completely fluent to make a difference. It is hard work to plan for the good stuff, but I am finding it much more fun. As my husband says--
“Leap and a net shall appear!”
