The cursed HOW

In my blog post “Powerful Thoughts”, I have written how powerful our mind is and whatever we create in our minds, if we believe, it will achieve!

How-To-Request-A-Mortgage-Rate-Adjustment-F

Honestly, I did not have any idea as to HOW it will happen – (flashback, my solution for our family to be together and not have my husband work as an OFW anymore was to migrate).  HOW? that was the question!
 
All I have was a belief that it will happen,

and for me to mentally picture what I want to happen,
I have posted dollar bills, 
talk incessantly about going to America someday, 
kept a dollar in my wallet just to attract it…

      What else? I went to DFA in Lucena to get our passports! 
That was how determined I was!

My aunt asked me “where are you going Gi?”, 
 I told her to DFA, to get our passports. She asked, “Why?” 
I said, because, 
“We’ll be traveling someday?” and just smiled.

What else? I went to SM Lucena to buy my luggage!

This was like going overboard really!!! LOL!

But all the while, I kept everything to myself. Even my parents didn't know about it!

What I remember was always (some of you know how persistent I can be, LOL!) asking my mother, “Mommy, what if I also go to USA, everyone seems to want to go there..” and she’d reply “You may try, but I’m telling you, not everyone is destined to go there.”

After like, a week, I’d ask again, “Mommy, what if I go to the USA, everyone seems to want to go there...” and she’d reply the same thing! Lol! That was how persistent I was!!! LOL!

AND THEN THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED.

Maybe because my mind was really into it, and maybe because it was really meant to be?, but everyone I met and all my circumstances seemed to lead me towards what I want!

A good friend bugged me to apply online! I was not sure if I was qualified but because she was so persistent, I did!

Then I've had this conversation with a former classmate based in the US already, I told her, “You know, I also want to go there! How will I do it?” she replied, “C’mon, Gemma, you shouldn’t ask me that, for sure 
YOU know what to do!”

And it just hit me! I KNOW WHAT TO DO? But I don’t! or maybe I do?

Even my husband persisted that I do something new! As submissive as I am, LOL! I enrolled in MA in Information Technology and that changed my life!

I just felt so happy to be back to school again and learning new stuffs, that I declared

“I have just opened the doors, windows, ceiling and walls 
to an opportunity created JUST FOR ME!”

Two weeks after that, the phone call came (from the agency I applied online, that I’ve forgotten already) telling me I will be interviewed. Two months later, I was on my way to the airport, YES, with my passport and my newly bought luggage!

Was it magic? Was it a miracle? Was it meant to be? Was it my doing? Was it planned? Was I able to attract it?

How did it happen???

You, tell me! 

But one thing is for sure. It’s all GOD.

Keep on believing everyone! :)

    you for seen that it's going to happen what we feed in our mind mostly it happens so we only have to think all the positive things and for sure it will happen , God has plan for us to be here I never imagine myself that i'm going to be here . When I graduated from college i was accepted in Qatar , after that I receive some of the offers but I have to turn it down I dunno coz my mind and my heart is not in it . Dream big, bigger than your fear , bigger than your imagination .

    our thoughts are powerful. The greatest author Napoleon Hill once said that What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. It is one way of using the law of attraction..

    Persistently submissive? ;) When it comes to chasing dreams, if done right, I think there's no going overboard. There is of course the fun of luggage shopping :)

    I had that same experience too but not the part where I need to fly out of the country for a job. Yep, if you believe in God and holds on to His promise, all things will come true :)

    inspiring posts and i do agree. when we believe we can we are right.many times i proved that in my life that as my fave quote goes "that which we persists in doing becomes easier for us to do not because the nature of the things has changed but our power to do has increased".

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Vitamins for the Mind

Vitamins for the Mind   by Jim Rohn Results At the end of each day, you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you. The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. This is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big. Life asks us to make measurable progress in reasonable time. That's why they make those fourth grade chairs so small—so you won't fit in them at age 25! There are some things you don't have to know how it works, only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on which end of this you want to get in on.    "Vitamins for the Mind" is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of...

Jack of All Trades

My parents gave me all the opportunities to try and do different activities while growing up. I did ballet. I had swimming lessons ; I joined theatre arts ; I had piano recitals ; I learned bicycling; I played volleyball; I was one of the editors in our school paper. I was even a member of University Quiz Bee contest called "Pautakan", representing our college for 3 years! In high school, I admired students who could do Impromptu Speeches. You see, I could memorize long scripts, I could compose essays but to speak my mind in a contest? Whoa! I guess, I carried that thought - wishful thinking with me, even after college, that it led me to become a member of Toastmaster's International in Makati, Philippines and then here in Gallup, NM, USA! Do I still know how to ballet dance? Mmmm... Lol! Swim? Mmmm... not where I can't touch the floor or sand, OK?  hehe Play piano? Mmmm... I can do two piano pieces? Will that count? hahaha Act? Oh yes! Could...
