Esp this: "I always had just enough, sometimes down to a dollar or so, but it was worth it to me to be the most authentic version of myself. It was a combination of high anxiety coupled with high magic at times as I was learning to take more responsibility for the pieces of my reality I could be in charge of while letting go of what I could not control."
This has happened to me so often that I shouldn't be surprised anymore. My contract with the Universe to continue to be held this way is that I'm not allowed to take it for granted, sitting back and assuming manna will fall from the sky. I have to go make the effort to generate the money or opportunity or whatever. In exchange for the good faith effort, I am held. The Universe truly does help those who help themselves!
I also learned when I lost my last "real" job to a whim that for me at least, it's much more secure to work for myself than for someone else. At least I can't fire myself until I'm ready to move on.
And finally, I remember being completely smitten with my then-to-be-husband. We were both in college and our, er, exhuberant sex life was interfering with my ability to turn in my assignments on time. When I explained this to my professor (and yes, that's pretty much how I said it), he laughed and said those same words: "It's nice to have a lot of great sex, but sometimes you have to stop and do the laundry."
I should add he was my professor for the psychology of sexual experience. Different times. I miss them.
I love your " full disclosure " of your journey. And I now know that your knowledge of " our wealth lives within" has given you the ultimate path to abundance. I LOVE that you were given almost to the exact dollar what you needed!. I also love how you told your Chicago guys that you knew what was going down. Thank you for sharing your journey to wisdom, and you were wise from the get go. Love you Nora
I love this and can very much relate.
