What I Know for Sure… Prayers are answered
One day, I asked for a certain kind of life. I described what I wanted for the universal agents of change to get to work at making that happen for me. I started clearing out my life and my space in order to make room for this wonderful something that was coming. I waited. I looked at every movement in life as a step closer. Looked for the signs. The problem was… I was looking in the wrong direction.
The work that was being done, the path that was being laid, the way that was being made wasn’t something that I had to look out for. It wasn’t something that I could look ahead and see coming. Once I prayed that prayer and asked for the specific things that I asked for… I could have thrown away all my furniture and sat on the floor, cross-legged, for seven years and I still would not have been making the space that was needed. The change was taking place in me. I was being prepared for the life I said I wanted one heartbreak, one disappointment and one rejection letter at a time.
What I Know for Sure… is that prayers are answered…. but not always in the ways we think they will be. When I asked for financial independence, I didn’t get a new job. I actually got a pay cut and less hours at the part-time job I already had. I lost all the people in my life who were financially helping me when I got into a bind and all I had was an idea. I put the idea on the back burner and I applied and applied for jobs. Even when I applied for ones that I KNEW I was expertly qualified for, I didn’t get one call back. I was nearing the end of my rope and sanity when I started getting invited to speak at events. It isn’t enough to travel the world with, but it’s enough to keep me afloat in the meantime. I didn’t mean for things to happen the way they are, but I realize that the idea I have, is mine. Te people who are left around me are the ones who are meant to help me as I bring it to life myself. It is my divine meal ticket and I can cash it in whenever I decide to believe that the prayer has already been answered.
