In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them

This is an excerpt from Neil Straus's book "The Game". And while I accept the subject matter of the book can be quite distasteful to many I just hit upon this paragraph, for whatever reason it struck a cord with me. Are our eyes truly open to the gifts presented to us?.


"In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by
waiting, they miss out. Usually, what you wish for doesn't fall in your lap; it
falls somewhere nearby, and you have to recognize it, stand up, and put in
the time and work it takes to get to it. This isn't because the universe is
cruel. It's because the universe is smart. It has its own cat-string theory and
knows we don't appreciate things that fall into our laps."


Agree?, disagree ?.

Agree!

I think most of us are human enough not to value things that come too easily - we like a bit of the chase. So when we ask and it is given to us, we subconsciously like it if we went after it and caught it so to speak. Maybe blessings like women play hard to get to be more valued too :)

I am not sure who's quote is this but I have it next to my computer:

A happy life is jsut a string of happy moments.

But most people dont allow the happy moment because they are so busy trying to get a happy life!

peace and love,

It definitely rings some truth to it.................and then I learned The Secret/LOA and have learned to identify my abilities enabling me to watch things fall in my lap...........with my arms wide open! AWARENESS!

Does that mean that if you sit here and trust the universe that he will give you an awesome opportunity yet you do not move your ass, it wont happen?

lol...............kinda sorta..............With this knowledge, you develop an awareness, an ability to identify a good thing when you see it......Can you imagine if the Universe/Source/God delivered door to door, I'd weigh a ton and have no need for contact with the outside world.....I'd never get to appreciate everything about life.....I'd be a prisoner in my own head......There are reasons for the way things are.....and then there is knowledge to work through the reasons and then there is wisdom that comes from the experiences and then there is life - LIVE!

So how do you do something in order to catch the opportunity.

When you are contiously improving your own life and just being a better person to everyone around you, the Universe will bring you the opportunities, it will move people, circumstances and events to bring about your dream and it is different for all of us.....I just don't think of problems and problems, but rather challenges and opportunities.....When you look at things differently, things actually change.....

This is just an example, and it can be perceived many different way, but this is what I see.....

I had this great opportunity to make about $500 a day, now if I did that I would have to leave the current clients that I had and although it was three times the work, and about $125 less, I had a commitment and in the field I am in, it is not easy to find alternative care and even if you do, it takes time before my clients are able to trust "change" be it for better or for worse.....So I told myself, these are more than just clients, they are my friends and although I am giving up a wonderful opportunity to make alot more with alot less effot, I looked at it this way - they are going to find someone who is going to have a great opportunity and I had the pleasure of meeting them which only ensured me that I would have even better future prospects.....

Guess what? I was hired as their consultant, I only travel there once a month and keep phone contact with the new staff that was hired.....I'm making an extra $1500 a month just talking on the phone occassionally because I help them hire staff that met up to the criteria I set forth and we have a great working relationship and do I feel uncomfortable taking $1500 a month for doing phone tag a few times a week no....why? because it was their money, their choosing and if it wasn't me, it would of been someone else. I provided the service and I kept my client/friends and have made even more prospects/friends available to me in the future.....I did this for three months and then decided the people they hired were capable of micromanaing their lives without me and that they could easily split my pay for increases in a few months, or even for yearly bonuses that would keep their employees happy and their family well cared for.....

Open your eyes, do the right thing and allow the magic that is the Universe to take care of you, IT WILL!

Namaste,
Awesome
