I’m Scared… Which Is A GOOD thing!
Posted on November 7, 2007 in the Namaste's Monthly, Real Life, Manifesting, Goals, Law of Attraction category
Mike, Aaron and I had our weekly mastermind group call tonight. On the call I realized why I've been so angry for the past 6 weeks. For the past 2 years I've taken off for a month or two to an exotic foreign destination around this time. This year I'd given up on the idea of taking my yearly trip because of my current situation. My entrepreneurial nation (www.privateernation.com) is going into pre-launch by January 1, 2008. I can build the Privateer Nation from anywhere in the world. That's not the challenge (thanks Tony Robbins because I use to say the word “problem” and switching problem to the word “challenge” really does change how I think about the situation). The challenge is that I ran out of money and had to get a day job. I found the coolest day job IN THE WORLD. It's the only day job I've ever had that has not caused me to wake up on Monday mornings in a rage. If I quit this job to go travel I have to come back and get another job. I'm scared of having another day job that causes me to walk around in a rage all the time. So until tonight's call I'd decided to skip my trip. The result however is that I'm walking around angry and burned out. I NEED a vacation (this day job doesn’t give me even a one week vacation). However, I don’t see how I can take one. Day jobs don’t let people take off a month for vacation time.
The question now is, “WHAT DO I DO NOW?” I realize that as 1 of THE 3 ALCHEMISTS I should live up to our name and manifest a situation that allows me to take my trip AND keep my amazing day job. That would be living the magical life of an alchemist! Guess what? That scares me. Why? I do not see how this is possible. I knew I’d be posting this and that really puts me on the line to live up to our name.
Interesting! I just realized something. If I were really living up to being 1 of THE 3 ALCHEMISTS I’d simply manifest a super cool job when I returned. Now I’m extremely skeptical that this is possible as a first reaction. However, how is accomplishing this task any more amazing then manifesting the trip I did to India last year?
Let’s start with the basics. I need to get straight with what I want.
What do I want? I want to take a month long trip to the Philippines and come back ready to launch the Privateer Nation by January 1, 2008 and have a job when I return that is as good, or better, than the one I have now.
You have NO IDEA how scary that is to write.
That is what I really, Really, REALLY WANT but I have NO IDEA how I can make that happen. My mind locks up even as I reread what I just wrote now. I REALLY have no idea how in the world I can make that happen. I don’t even have the funds in my bank account to pay for a trip right now. Luckily, I know that my job is NOT to figure out HOW. My job is to tell the Universe WHAT I WANT and let the Universe figure out the how.
Doesn’t make it any less scary to write and post. I’m putting myself on the line here….

Dear Namaste,
You succeeded in sth you didn’t want to ;).. you succeeded in making ME feel the urge that you go on holidays to the Philippines and return to a great job.
Here is my deal:
When you sit down to meditate, imagine and high vibrate over a vision of yourself at those holidays, thank the Universe for that possibility and thank also for the absolutely awesome job you will have when you return… and you know you’ll have since before leaving for the Philippines.
Also, please, thank and high vibrate for my being able to take 15 days off with my child at the beach this January.
I’ll do the same every night and every morning, when I sit down to meditate and high vibrate.
I have done this “group vibration” with many people and it’s absolutely amazing the results we have reached.
Possibilities of solution for you are many. I can think of: the people at your superb job being so happy with you that they tell you to go back there when you return; or when you do return, you go to say “hello” and they tell you they realized how you were not easily replaceable; or you find a similar job, better paid, better hours; or for some reason you don’t need that money anymore… who knows.
If the Philippines are so important as they look from here, go for them. I assure you that if we both thank for that, it will materialize without problems.
By the way… I have found it much easier to high-vibrate and visualize positive things for others sometimes, than it is our own stuff, specially when what we want looks difficult.
Let me know if you’re willing to give it a try.

Namaste,
You know the deal, and you even said it in this post - you can’t focus on the “how’s”!
Your job is ONLY to think about how great it will feel to have the things that you want. The universe is the delivery man - you’re just the receiver. So sit back and receive already.
Patricia,
I’ve never heard of manifesting stuff for other people. That’s an interesting idea. It sounds like you’ve had really good results doing that. Thanks for teaching me something new today.
I realized after making posting this blog that the Philippines were NOT what I actually wanted. What I wanted was to not be burned out.
I’m a workaholic. My “MO” is that I work 10 or 11 months full out and then burn out. I then take off to a beach on the other side of the world.
I realized that I can avoid this vicious cycle by creating a social life here in Vegas.
I will spent some time before I go to bed tonight thinking about you spending 15 days with your child at the beach.
Thanks for the great advice,
Namaste
