Travel has always been a big part of my life. It honors my values of
adventure, challenge, connection with different cultures and fun. It began
in my 20's with a backpacking adventure, and even now with a family, we
rent out our place and go somewhere for several months at a time.
In a matter of weeks, I can find a tenant, enroll clients and associates
into my new schedule and have our support network of friends and family
look after things such as pets, plants and paintings. We leave with
nothing planned except the first few days' accommodations and technology
has allowed my work to continue from Europe, Asia and even the most remote
places in Africa.
I let everyone know what I am doing, what I want and need and somehow
things just seem to fall into place.
We all have days when everything seems to go right. Having a parking spot
open up exactly where we need it, finding the exact house we want, money
becomes available for a trip we want to take or a project we want to
start. Sometimes people we've been trying to reach suddenly call or appear
and we can wrap up our business with them quickly and efficiently.
Everything is in sync.
These days, over and over again, as soon as I've become clear on what it
is that I want, the circumstances I need to get it become available to me
almost effortlessly. I find that synchronicity operates in many areas of
my life - I just have to slow down and pay attention to the messages and
possibilities. And then I ask for what I want, with no shame and no
guilt.
This is not to say that everything is a piece of cake. But if you like
the idea of synchronicity, then make a formal declaration to yourself
about what you want and then let others know about it. It might take a
day, a month or a year to get it, but put your intention out there and the
results might just amaze you.
Do the "Try It Out" exercise in the sidebar to help you practice asking
for what you want.
When you know what you want, and want it badly enough, you'll find a way to get it.
