Landing your dream job requires knowing what that job is based upon your personal passions.

No palms and no fruit hand-feeding? You must be kidding!

Don’t listen to him, Maria!!!! He’s just pulling our legs!

Love the post – as I do all of your posts …
However you hit the nail when you say the DREAM …
That’s the problem – so many people want a dream – perfection. Something that really isn’t achievable.

If more people would be content with what they have, while working towards making things the they want them, the world in general would be a happier place.

I know, Maria, what a bummer, right? And here we have been thinking all along that there was going to be some “magical” point where we would start living a life of people fanning us with palm fronds and hand-feeding us fruit for the rest of our lives…

Almost takes the fun out of it, doesn’t it??? ~

Aaron, do you mean to say that life is a PROCESS?! I am shocked, SHOCKED by that implication. There’s no time when I can just say “Yep, I’ve arrived, now I can coast until I die.”

Surely you can’t be serious

Patricia,

Thanks for any hugs that you want to offer – virtual or otherwise – and for sharing your thoughts as well!

You are absolutely correct about the consistency of effort working in both the positive and the negative directions.

Most people don’t realize that their “default” mode is one of taking both emotional as well as physical action in a negative manner, and then they wonder why they keep manifesting negative circumstances into their lives.

Life gives us what we consistently focus on, and when it comes to the actions that we take, the effort doesn’t stop just because we have reached some milestone in our lives. Whether you are talking about personal growth and development, or simply about maintaining a state of joy, the same consistent effort is needed to keep ourselves emotionally and physically where we need to be!

Dear Aaron,

Thank you for the reminder!

Consistency and commitment are necessary for continued success and it really takes completely different abilities than those needed to make individual steps towards achievements.

As everything in life, the process called Personal Development, is a never-ending learning one and I find it extremely challenging, therefore interesting and fun.

Although I believe I have gone a very long way since I first read about all this, I have experienced how my vibes do go down if I don’t keep my consistent action towards having them up.
The ironical thing is that it takes just the same consistency to lower them! My vibes go down when I consistently take action towards having them down… the difference only being that I am (we are) so used to make those efforts, unconsciously, even effortless, that we think that’s the “normal mode” and vibrating high is the “different mode”.

I am with you. I vote for our achieving our dream “everything” and committing and consistently make actions to keep us up there, right in heaven.

I send you a virtual hug, which by the way… feels much better than a real one!

Cheers!

Patricia
