When I first started with IM, I used to wait for stuff without taking action, but then I would get disappointed when the magic didn't happen. I didn't realize that I had to start doing something, even if it were small, to gain momentum. I believe that everything we want is around us, but we just can't see it from where we currently are. We have to start moving so we can adjust our vision. Only then will we start to see things.

When I started to re-write my intentions for things/situations I really wanted, the ball starting rolling. Oppurtunites now come into my life in ways I would have never expected them too. And I now act on them instead of waiting.

For example, I had my eyes set on a promotion within my company and it didn't happen. And I had set an intention to get this promotion. But the truth is, I never really wanted the promotion in the first place. I didn't realize this before, but I had set the intention to want the promotion and to increase my fears of non-security. And it came true! I got what I wanted, more fear and less confidence in myself.

So after I didn't get the promotion, a light when off in my head. Everything that was happening, was happening for a reason. First, what I really wanted was to be self-employed. Next, I set the intention for exactly that. And I got clear about why I wanted to be my own boss. I didn't make intenions to just make more money, but instead to help more people and give more value. I didn't make intentions to be free with my time, but to be more creative and live on purpose. After that, I got up the courage and took action to make my former employer my first client. And now I work for myself

I think the universe gives us what we need, when we need it. Daveangeles, maybe now is the time for you to become clear about what you really want. I think you needed to make this forum post in order to strenghthen your IM skills, so you can make more progress. Because you have been making progress, even if you think you've been moving in the wrong direction

Some people say I just want to know what I'm supposed be doing right now, when they talk about their lives. But we are supposed be doing exactly what we're currently doing so we can to get to where we want to go.
