All in good time.
Things happen when they're meant to.
Make a plan, the universe laughs.
Looking back, Big Life Things have happened for me when I least expected them. Often, when I'd given up entirely on them.
Not when I was pushing, pushing, pushing.
Not when I was fixated on them.
Not when I was desperate.
Much like with writing, which for me flows best not when I try to force it; but when I relax, when I'm in the right frame of mind, when the environment and circumstances are right.
And likewise, life is funny that way. It's always worked itself out, just not necessarily in the ways I imagined or within the timeframe I anticipated.
It sounds woo-woo - but I'm getting more and more into the realm of woo, and liking it, with age. I'm appreciating the power of mindset, and the importance of getting into flow and alignment wherever possible.
So this is a public commitment to myself.
I have established my goal; now I must stop obsessing, and let it come to me when the time and circumstances are right. I've done my part, laid the foundations, and will continue to do my thing to make sure I'm worthy of it, and ready to identify and receive it when it appears.
Patience, humility, and a whole lot more patience.
