I didn't quite understand your example with the fighting between things and who would win? I couldn't quite associate me fighting with a million dollars or a chainsaw and winning? I just couldn't associate with the objects you were talking about, I must be a bit daft

Good article, I am in the middle of this path. Where I got rid of the big cubicle (working in an office) and downgraded to a really small cubicle (freelance and teach) and now I am ready to just get rid of the cubicle all together, so that I am in complete control. The small cubicle by the way has been working well up till now, but I know it's time for the next progression.

That was my plan all along, but I'm not good at taking giant leaps. I've also learnt that I find it really hard to depart with money and I am stingy

But that's for another time

I am in the position now to invest in my own project, and actually that processes was quite interesting in itself, because as soon as I made a clear, cut decision of what I wanted, I basically made the intention, that over the next 4 months I would need time and money to develop my own project and somehow time and money fell into place. This is from someone that struggled all the time to have money in her account, to someone who has a decent amount now. I didn't even go out of my way to be particularly careful with spending and saving either. I'm also proud with myself that I have the smarts to invest in ideas rather than a large plasma tv

That gives me much more satisfaction.

And it's funny I have just recently had had an obstacle in teaching, where I am no longer aligning with it "or falling out of harmony" and negative situations were arising and I was getting upset about it, starting to blame myself and ask what's wrong with me and giving power to what was being projected onto me… but then I realised the reason this negativity was there for a reason, and that was because I was no longer aligning with this area and so this negativity is there to help push me into this new direction and for me to make sure I follow through.

But yes I have been really enjoying the journey and have to say I have been the happiest I have ever been this last year or so. I've learnt so much and it's been so intersting sitting back and watching observing what's happening to me and situations surrounding me.

I'm one that naturally fights against what is deemed the norm, so this way of thinking really resonates with me, but I think it's for a particular type of person…a person that really can't accept what one has been told, where say out aloud to yourself something like "this is not right, this isn't working, I know there is something else and I have to follow my instinct".
