Are You Ready?

As I was talking to my Mother a few weeks ago about my dreams and hopes for the future, before she even knew of 'the secret' she made a comment that has stuck with me.  I was discussing my desire to move into a new house and stated how I didn't want to look at million dollar homes, just ones that I felt were attainable.  She said "you just probably aren't ready for a million dollar home".  After thinking a lot about that statement, it becomes clearer every single day.  With the wonderful thoughts of living in a grand house with lots of land also for me comes the vison of all that I would need to do and have to maintain the property.  She is right....I am not ready for it...on many levels.  I am not fully able to believe that it is what I want.  Probably because it isn't.  I have become very humbled lately focusing on what I am truly thankful and grateful for.  When I have moments of anger and frustration it is getting much easier to let them go and focus on something positive and they generally resolve themselves quickly.  I am finding that I no longer want millions of dollars and a huge mansion (I really can't even imagine what kind of life that would be either).  What I really want is to be in a home that I feel truly happy in.  A home that I can enjoy with my family.  A home that we can grow in and play in.  A home that we can LIVE in with joy.  (It is not a coincidence that my husband and I agree on the exact house and have found it.)  I wasn't ready to truly set the intention because I was not really sure why I wanted what I wanted.  I also wasn't willing to give up on the how.  When I would think about the house I would go over all of the possible scenarios of how it could happen and then sqaush them to save myself the dissapointment.  And, what do I feel anyway?  Disappointment.  I am ready to finally believe that I deserve to be happy and live in our dream house.  I am ready to set the intention to live there.  I am leaving the how up to God and the universe. 

I am grateful for this day that I have to attract so much abundance and blessing. 

I am so grateful that I am already abundantly blessed with my wonderful family and friends.

I am so grateful that I feel love and peace towards people.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to record these feelings here and remind myself daily that I hold the key to my life.

    Kate! I just found this blog! (uh-oh, is that ok? Or is it meant to be a secret?) I loved the thoughtful comment you made on my post and when I hit your name your profile came up. I saw that you had another blog! This is BEAUTIFUL. I read the secret years ago and probably should again. Although, I wish it was more Christ centered I believe Christ taught many of the same principles. I have been reading a few books recently that incorporate this. In fact my last paper at school was on the Power of Positive Thinking. Have you read any of Norman Vincent Peale's stuff?

    I am so glad that you found my 'secret' blog! It really is for me to express my own thoughts and feelings and if anyone gets anything from it that is great too! I really feel like my faith has been explained in a way that completely understand now. I am so grateful for that! I have never read any of Vincent Peale's stuff but I will totally look into it! Thanks for the support! Love you!!!
