I had been stressing out over how much time I was spending in my job, which I regard as deeply unfulfilling. I am ready to leave but for the simple fact that I need some form of income to sustain myself - I need financial security. So I shut my eyes, intended for the answer to come and clicked on the link.

Cool. Unfortunately my Apple Mac had been toasted by a sudden attack of lightning a few days before and I was stuck using a crippled old PC that can't boot windows and runs an early version of Ubuntu that can't play .mp3 files, so I went back, closed my eyes and clicked on the link again. This time I got John Assaraf Interview. I particularly liked how he manifested his dream house: "What’s most amazing is that he lived in that house for quite a while before discovering it was the exact same house he originally posted on his vision board!" but it was question 11 that struck me most:

Steve: What advice would you offer someone who feels emotionally and financially trapped in an unfulfilling job?

John: I learned many years ago that our present circumstances are nothing more than effects. The question then must turn to what caused the effect of being and feeling trapped in an unfulfilling job? The answer is beliefs. You see if someone believed that there was an option other than their current situation and that they could do it… they would. They don’t believe they can easily make a change so they don’t. The key for all these people is to realize that yes they can and to figure out how.

I took this in and thought about my beliefs. I realised that I was operating from the belief that I had to quit my job straight away and that this was conflicting with my desire for financial security. By relinquishing this belief I released a lot of stress that had been piling up. I excitedly replied to Steve:

a tweet that just happened to fit exactly into the 140 character limit.

By this time it was getting very late, I was getting very tired and I felt I was running out of time so I tried one last time, this time to find an answer to creating more time. My result...

Polyphasic Exercise

Nice one. I've had some success with the Law of Attraction before, but this is my best so far. I think the last one was a joke by the universe, to prove the point whilst keeping a sense of humour. :) I know how to free up more time, just have to say two words to my boss.... ;)
