Daily Gratitude: I always “knew” that the experts recommend writing out your goals. Then putting them somewhere you’ll see them many times a day. I had never done that before this year. Amongst other goals was something I felt strongly about in January when i made the list. I wanted to find a way to help others be able to afford hearing aids. My life was so positively impacted by the addition of hearing aids that I wanted others to be able to enjoy life more. Good hearing aids are expensive. I’d had the cheaper ones before and they stunk. But a good friend recommended Miracle Ear. I made an appointment and have never looked back. But, how could I help others have the same advantage as i did. That has been on my list for a year and every time I look at it, i think that I should delete it because “it’s never going to happen.” You see, i was trying to “outline” how it was going to happen. The universe resists outlining above almost everything else. I am a mere human being. Who am I to think i know exactly how something should develop? Who put me in charge? This is a common mistake people make with their goals and here i was making the same one i caution against. Today i had to have my annual hearing exam with Miracle Ear. As i was sitting waiting to be seen, i looked at a brochure that was new to me. i don’t think they had them out the other times I’d been there. What’s staring me in the face is a “You can donate to this foundation and we provide hearing aids to people who meet certain qualifications.” Wow, right there was the answer to my “unachieved goal”. I popped up and asked the receptionist to help me with it. And she did. I donated and can donate as much and as often as I might see fit. See, the universe knew there was a way. and it was a way in which I didn’t have to work very hard. I didn’t have to create a foundation or cause from the ground up. How easy was it once I let the Universe help me. Write down your goals. Start thinking about them now. There’s not much time left before the new year.
P.S. after I wrote this I went into the bathroom where I have the list of goals in two places. This means I see them a lot. As I looked down that list I realized I am currently completing another one – decluttering three rooms. I had started that two weeks ago and didn’t really know why because decluttering is certainly not on my happy list. What these two things show is that when you read your list daily and many times a day, they get embedded in your subconscious and you WILL take action on them. I am amazed at how beautifully this has been demonstrated
