Messages come in the strangest ways. They say God first speaks to you in whispers and yesterday, I'd say it was in bullhorns. I decided to turn on the tv while I was getting ready and flipping the channels, I caught the very beginning of Xanadu. It was the opening scene with the main character, the Andy Gibb lookalike dude, struggling with a sketch. I know that feeling, when I'm ready to sit down and write my masterpiece novel. What the heck do I say? But I was so excited to have the movie on. I love that movie and while I knew I would have a long day on the road, I decided not to leave until the movie was over.
It's about a struggling, yet talented artist who decides to pursue his dreams pursuing his own art, only to discover his lack of inspiration, and thus lack of income, so he goes back to the job he sorely dislikes. But then both inspiration and opportunity come to him, in the form of Olivia Newton-John as a muse and Gene Kelly as his business partner. Thanks to them, Andy is able to leave his job once again . . . for good.
In the car, I started listening to Wayne Dyer's CDs, Call to Inspiration about being inspired, meaning getting back to Spirit, and his big message was about taking that one big step to live your dream. The big step that came to my mind was leaving my job in order to be free to build my practice and have time to write my bestselling novel. Have time to network, have the identity and have the opportunity to do what I am here to do on this earth, help people overcome their obstacles. And yet, I have this huge obstacle right in front of me.
I know this is what I need to do, but how to do it? It's more than just giving my 2 week notice. I have bills, lots of them. I have rent. I have an appetite. If I could have one wish, it would be to have a financial windfall so that I could sustain myself without my foundation job. Enough to pay off all my bills, have savings large enough that I could live off the interest, and have even more left over to invest in my business. What's funny is I actually think this is a possibility.
I know what I need to do. I just need to know how. Maybe I should buy lottery tickets along the way home.
