Some details I need to keep vague for the sake of others privacy.
If you've read the last couple blogs, maybe you could sense my own transformations going on. I wrote in detail about my physical goals but only generally about everything else. Reason... I really don't know. I'm private but I share so I really don't know why.
Anyway... I've been challenged over the last 6-12 months. Challenged in a way I never have and from multiple angles. I've been out of balance, upside down and in a fog.
Often my entries were a mirror of my own self, shooting back at myself. My posts were reminders to myself. Much of my own behavior was laced w messages of motivation, again to myself.
In the "we are connected," thought, you felt it, I probably wrote things that you related... Because we are all connected and although our paths may be different, we have similar needs and desires.
Let's get to it... I'm stalling.
I was in New Jersey a couple weeks ago, this is where I wrote "Where I Am." We were headed to a location, listening to a radio program, sports talk. Somehow the conversation turned to talks of ghosts and then spirituality. One guy, I think his name is Gerard Cherry? He told a story of when he thought he may be on his way out of the league and he went home and prayed, within a minute, the New England Patriots called him and offered a spot. So, keep in mind, I heard this story already on the edge of some sort of faith or a desire to learn and explore a faith... Something was pulling... Something I didn't really have.
Growing up, (by growing up I mean 20's and 30's, who are we kidding to think we're done growing up at 22), my faith was "be nice and everything will work out," and thoughts of karma. I rarely looked up and spoke. (When I posted this week about belief and believing in the power of attraction or prayer or anything, this was the reference).
So after hearing Gerard's story (I'm sorry, I don't actually know his name), I went back to my room... Turned off all distractions and knelt on the ground and prayed.
I prayed hard. I read to be specific and to talk and communicate. I text my sister and asked her if there was a protocol. Haha so funny, I felt that foreign, that out of myself, I couldn't figure out "how to pray."
But I knelt and I prayed like I never have. I asked for help. I asked for guidance. I asked for a sign. I ended and still end by saying something along the lines of "I'm open to change, I'm open to learning, I'm open to hearing." Prayed so hard I cried and basically begged... Because I was that unhappy w a situation I was in (not related to training, real estate or my personal life).
Within 2 days... I receive a text from an old friend, offering an "idea," that changed my life. One that I cannot reveal just yet, but when I do, you'll see and say "that's his world... That's where he belongs," and how perfect the timing of it all is.
Coincidence?
Someone may say so.
Power of my thoughts or the power of attraction? Did I communicate a message to the universe?
Maybe.
Prayer?
Maybe.
Interpret it however you like, but this story is true. Plug in whatever element of powerful faith you have.
From a movie opening my mind, to hearing a story of a miracle, basically, to me putting those thoughts into the physical act of asking or help... Help and light appeared. Fact.
