a little work, a little networking, a little dancing - that's my day.
the lunch/networking meeting was really interesting. if nothing else, i came away with a few more books that i want to to read - 'think and grow rich' by napoleon hill and 'the seven spiritual laws of success' by deepak chopra. i've also been beating myself up a bit about not having completed a couple of the goals i set for myself last year. i realized a few things:
1) those goals did not relate to my top 4 values over the last year
and
2) my top 4 values shifted a bit over the last year because of the new company.
because of that shift, my focus has changed. i have to keep reminding myself that i only have so much time in the day, and not everything is going to fit in. i'm going to go back to making small changes and, now that i don't have to kill myself to help keep the company going, i can start arranging my schedule to make allowances for my new shifts in focus. slowly but surely i want to spend 75% of my life out of survival mode and in a state of freedom, where i can choose how i want to spend my time and my money.
i feel like i can now start making a plan. things are coming together - after the last few weeks when i realized that there might be a time in the somewhat near future when i won't have to be working *all* the time just to stay afloat...and that when that time comes i have no idea what i want to do with myself next. but things are falling into place for me since i put the notion out to myself and a few specific others that i need help formulating a plan for the next step. it's amazing how things come together to support you when you want them to.
yes. i believe in the law of attraction.
