The Revolution Begins When YOU take Control
2008-04-15来源:
I'd like to share a story with you about two interesting people that we ALL know.Ms. Jane D. Acceptor thinks, "I got this dead-end job, I'm bored to tears, but hey--it pays my bills. It keeps a roof over my head. So what I hate what I do, and I'm not crazy about the people I work with ...it's a job. Aren't you supposed to hate your job?"Jane goes through life just accepting how it all turns out. But Mrs. Wendy Ago-Getter was a different animal. She used to be in Jane's place, she actually worked in the cubicle right next to her. She and Jane used to complain, complain, and complain about how their boss was an idiot, how management had no clue, and about how other co-workers got on their nerves. Sure they weren't the nicest things to say about others, but they had a roaring good time doing it!They were bitter and thrived off of each other's negative energy. They threw pity parties on a daily basis on Instant messenger and on their lunch breaks.But then...something changed. Wendy's Husband, Mr. Getter introduced her to the law of attraction, because quite frankly, her bad attitude was bringing him down and causing their marriage to get a bit rocky. Once Wendy started to become aware of how she allowed her energy to flow, she also noticed how Depression and unHappiness took control of her life. It seemed as if she WANTED this for herself. And it was at this moment when she realized she had the power to make a change. With this gradual mental shift...she started to get to know 'Wendy' a bit more. She started to dig deep for her inner power.When Wendy had free time, she wrote children's books and found pleasure in this craft. Whenever she got Home, and she put her 5 year old to bed, she wrote. She loved her newly rediscovered imagination where all her stories stemmed. After all, it came natural to her. It was so easy to create fun characters. What she loved most was reading them to her daughter and seeing that smile on her face as she entered that imaginary land with her.Well, Jane thought she was just ridiculous. Writing children's books, COME ON, GET REAL! Jane became jealous when Wendy slowly started to pull away from her. The lunch breaks went down from two a week to none a week. Wendy enjoyed writing in the park on her break instead. Wendy felt alive again...she had so much fun doing writing.One day Wendy's daughter brought her favorite book to school so that the teacher could read it to the class. The teacher was thoroughly impressed with her writing style. She was especially taken aback at the student's reaction to the story. They LOVED it! Turns out the teacher's brother was an agent for authors and the teacher didn't hesitate to set up a meeting with him and Wendy.Wendy couldn't believe it.... "My little old books? It was just a hobby. I would do it for free," she raved. But then she started to accept her gift and realized that she did deserve whatever was coming to her. She started to picture her book on shelves of books stores, she imagined children in the park reading the books, she saw her daughter bragging about her mom--the author! positive visualization became her daily habit. Her husband shared with her that her mental shift is what caused these changes in her life. There are NO COINCIDENCES...A month later, her company downsized her department and of course that was no surprise. She received a pretty good severance and was actually thrilled for the opportunity to write more. Turns out, her new agent landed her a bidding war for her books. Simon & Schuster and Random house wanted a two-book deal from her. They were up to 50k for her advance; she hoped it would go even higher!Could this be happening? Wendy and her husband were practically floating from the stream of good news. It was like a darn fairly tale in one of her books.Funny enough... Jane D. Acceptor didn't get laid off. She was transferre
