The Heat is On

Out of no where, I received some very disturbing news from the rumor mill at work.  I hoped it was all hot air, but there was no way to really know for sure.  Suddenly I went into moderate panic mode.  

It was too soon for something to go wrong!  I wasn't prepared to take on my Sweet Dream yet, financially or otherwise.

I reached out to my Life Coach, Steve Truitt, to guide me through this uncharted course.  I was scared.  What if it were true???  There creep in those two terrifying words that end one of two ways.  Why do we always assume the worst instead of the best?  It was a 50/50 endeavor.  Steve would have me go the positive route.

We broke it down and came to realize a few things.  First: What if the rumors were Untrue...and the product of other people's panic buttons being pressed.  Second, if the rumors were, in fact, true - there was nothing I could do about it anyway.  Third, if the rumors were accurate, it would all be okay.  It was all Perfect and in the Plan.

Sometimes it's hard to take that breath and simply let go.  To trust that the Universe has a path already mapped out for us.  This was the moment to employ all that I had learned.  I had a great weekend planned, which included visiting an Inn to do some research and I didn't want this bit of upsetting gossip to ruin things.

Together Steve and I came to the conclusion that while I might not be ready to take on my Sweet Dream this very second...by no means would my world fall apart.  I had interest from other employers here in the same city, I was still a very viable worker and perhaps the supposed "next job" would be better than the one I'm currently in anyway. All of it was Perfect.

Once I realized that, I felt the troubled waters calm inside me and I knew that whatever came my way, I would be alright.

The practical lesson I learned was that I should probably tighten the financial belt a bit (just in case) and start figuring out a financial plan for my Dream sooner rather than later.  It was a good reality check and got my butt into gear in terms of slowing down on the spending.

So far, no new word sifting from last week's Rumor Mill.   But now I was prepared for the batter to splatter....and no matter what mess was made, I was ready to clean it up and move on.

Sweet Dreams, 

Me
