Moving Forward With Confidence

newbuzz... In my last post almost a year ago, I committed to changing my frame of reference when faced with new or different situations.  Here I am now, reading the old post and reflecting on the changes in my life.

My new thinking has certainly propelled my career in the right direction. I have been promoted to a position that I love and that suits my skills and abilities. There have been many stretch moments where I have reached far outside of my comfort zone.  During these times I have had to remind myself that new is not bad, and unknown is not worse.  I have found that keeping an open mind is an invitation for goodness to dwell and flourish. By focusing on what do I want instead of worrying about what I do not want, I have avoided anxiety and wasted energy. 

Over the past year, I have experienced challenges, set backs, and disappointments.  But I realize this is to be expected. Creating and maintaining new work routines and constructive relationships takes daily effort. It is okay to have a bad day or a bad experience as long as I learn from it and move on.  By making an effort to rethink the facts, I have found that I can change the issue and solve any problem.

It is that simple.  Changing the way I frame my world has changed my world.  My real life experiment has proved to me that everything I have heard about positive energy attracting more positive energy is true.  By taking my nexting to the next level and expecting the best, I have indeed experienced the best outcomes.

Though I still worry and wonder what is next, it is becoming more natural for me to relax and imagine a best case scenario.  I am looking forward to a time when my first impulse is to rejoice when faced with a difficult decision or a new opportunity, knowing that good things come to those who want them.
