I’m holding in my hand, my most recent “fortune” from a
cookie I recently had after a Chinese buffet. It reads: “Your wish is about to
come true”. You may not give credence to such things but I’ve learned to
appreciate all that comes to me; everything has meaning.
My next thoughts were all questions. “What wish? Do I have
any wishes now? I know I have wishes but what are they?” And then I thought
that sometime I, like most of us, am not ready to have wishes come true. I remembered
the sayings, “If I knew you were coming I would have baked you a cake” and,
“get ready, company is coming”. Are we ready? Wishes are coming! Let’s be ready
for our wishes so when they come to realization, we can take full advantage of
them.
Think about times when you had friends or relatives visit
and if you had known they were coming, you could have scheduled more time with
them, taken time off work or reallocated responsibilities and duties to do
things with them, but it was “unexpected” so you did what you could, but you
know that you could have done more.
Have you had a time when you had a lump sum of money come
your way, say from a bonus at work, a gift, or whatever and found that you
spent the money on something(s) and later thought that if you had “planned” for
it, that you could have gotten more for your money?
But how can you “plan” for “surprises”? Expect the
unexpected! But in your case, it will be “expect the expected”! And always
expect good things!
Be sure to return to read Parts 2 and 3 where I share a couple of
stories where people “expected” and received what they wished for. In Part 3, I
will share a process for you to do the same! (If you have not already done so,
I invite you to join as “a follower by email” so you’ll never miss any of these
articles).
