Snippets of Wisdom,
Number 62.
If you say you want it,
Be it.
What goes through your mind when someone asks you to do something,
Even when it aligns with the life you want?
Maybe you don't really feel like doing it at the time.
Maybe it's an inconvenience.
What if you're simply out of alignment?
What if your procrastination is just wisdom indicating you're out of alignment state?
If you say you want to have a certain lifestyle,
Who do you have to be to receive it?
What would a person who lives that lifestyle do while they're living it?
Let me tell you a story.
I'm an author and I have published several books.
I always say my dream is to be an outrageously abundant author,
Yet my resistance gets in my way.
Do I really believe I can be an outrageously abundant author?
What is required of a highly sought-after author?
Typically,
When authors become famous,
They are asked to be on TV and radio shows,
Podcasts,
And other speaking outlets.
People want to hear from them and hang on their every word.
Many times,
I have been invited to speak or host panel discussions for various groups,
Podcasts,
And summits.
Mostly,
I'm super excited to speak.
Other times,
I get this ugh feeling that I just don't want to do it.
This happened recently.
I facilitated a panel discussion about finding joy in repurposing existing content for writing a book.
Since that time,
I've created a course about repurposing content following the outline of my book,
Repurpose and Publish Planner.
Then the host asked if I would record a podcast with her to go in-depth on repurposing content.
I excitedly said yes and waited for her to set up a time.
On the appointed day,
I received a message from her reminding me of our meeting later that day.
I got that ugh feeling because I forgot to put it in my calendar.
I had made plans to take my granddaughter out for lunch.
This podcast recording was at noon.
Mind you,
The meeting was only scheduled for 30 minutes,
So lunch could easily be postponed,
But my energy was not aligned with being an outrageously abundant author at the moment.
So I needed to shift my energy.
So I sat on the front porch with my coffee,
Where I do my best thinking and connecting with Source,
And I received this question.
Isn't an aspect of being an outrageously abundant author enjoying invitations to speak about my books?
Well,
Duh!
I repeated this to myself,
That I truly did want to be an outrageously abundant author and speak to others about my books at every opportunity.
This thought completely shifted my ugh into yay!
Of course I'm overjoyed to speak about my books.
And once I got back into alignment with what I really wanted,
The joy returned and I was back on track to being an outrageously abundant author,
Even while it's in the vibrational process of manifesting.
Alignment first,
And then you'll be ready to be one who lives all aspects of the life you desire.
Big hugs,
Marianne.
