Getting what you want

I truly believe you can get whatever you want. I am a firm believer in focusing on what you want and not what you don't want. If you take a moment and visualize what you want and think of how good it makes you feel, you will be closer to your goal.

I have been listening to the teaching of Abraham Hicks and I definitely feel a shift of energy and a change in my life. I was listening to how to attract more abundance in my life. Instead of focusing on what I didn't have, I started to focus on what I wanted. I first started to feel this when I was paying my bills one month. I wrote out all the checks for the bills and was down to nothing left in my checking account. The next day I received a bill for the cable. It was for around $54.00. Normally I would be stressed on how to come up with the money, and thinking I would once again have to pull money from my savings account to cover. Instead this time, I didn't stress. I told myself the money would come. I had recently had a trip to Beijing, where my close friend sent money to me through PayPal to buy her some stuff. She sent me $100.00 too much. I had left her a message that I could send the remaining money back to her. I didn't hear from her for a couple of days. When I finally did talk to her and I asked her what she wanted me to do about the money, she told me to use some of the money to send her the stuff and to keep the remaining. I was also about to go on a leisure trip with a friend. We were going to a show at a casino. I never play slot machines but this time I told myself and I believed that I was going to put one dollar in a slot machine and win money. We went to the slots and I logically wanted to put money in the end slot machine, but my intuition told me the middle slot would pay off. I put my dollar in the middle slot machine and pressed the button. Immediately the bonus wheel started to roll. When it was done I cashed out and found out I had won $54.00! My intuition told me I could win more money but my mind wasn't ready to accept anything more than the money I needed, so I stopped.

Align your energy and your thoughts with what you want. If you want that great job as a Flight Attendant with a certain company or with any company, picture yourself in a Flight Attendant uniform working on the airplane. If you feel any resistance this will hinder your desire to come to you. Try to work through the resistance so it isn't there anymore.

Sometimes you just have an intuitive knowing. I was first hired by Pan American Airlines. At the time they had a second language requirement and you had to pass the test during your probationary period. If you didn't pass the test you were taken off the flying schedule until you did. I had applied to United Airlines during that time too. I heard back from United and told them I was coming to training. They gave me a starting date for January 28th. I had a trip to Dhahran leaving on the 26th for 4 days. It was either go on my trip or quit Pan Am and go with United. It was one of most difficult decisions I had to make. I had been debating what I should do for days. I wanted to fly internationally but I really wanted to be based on the West Coast. At the time I was based with Pan Am in NYC. The West Coast with Pan Am was very senior and people had been waiting years to get in. I knew with United I could be based on the West Coast right away but I would be flying domestic. I went to the probationary office to take my language test. When I went to check in the girl at the desk told me I got my transfer to LA. Pan Am just sold their Pacific routes to United so the West Coast opened up for new transfers. I knew right there I would stay with Pan Am so I didn't show up for training with United. I knew I made the right decision but I still could not get the image of me in a United uniform flying up and down the West Coast serving peanuts to people. I didn't want to fly domestic but I couldn't shake the image from my mind. I thought maybe I had just felt that way because I had got hired by them and didn't go. When Pan Am went under 6 years later and United was hiring, I knew then I would be flying for United and that was why I couldn't shake the image out of my head.

Best of success with your career endeavors and don't forget to visualize and believe it!
