Are You Really Ready For What You Want?

Goals, intentions, desires. They are the topic of choice in January. Everyone is talking, blogging, and vlogging about how 2014 is your year to make your dreams come true. This is the time to get really clear on what you want to have happen in the next 12 months. What goals you want to achieve. What dreams you want to realize. There is so much possibility in the air, anything can happen this year.

So I have a question for you. If the Universe gave you everything you wanted right now, could you handle it?

Are you ready to receive the increase in your business? Are you ready for the love of your life to show up? Are you ready for all the attention you’ll receive when you drop 50 pounds? Are you prepared to handle all the fame and fans when you get your big break this year?

I know when I answered this question the answer was uh well no, not just yet…. The truth is there are a lot of things I need to clean up in my life before all my 2014 dreams come true.

If my business dramatically increased right now I would be overwhelmed, disorganized, and panicked. If my husband suddenly showed up I wouldn’t even be able to fit him into my calendar, let alone be in the right mindset. If I all of a sudden had a huge increase in subscribers I would have to stay up half the night responding to emails. The truth is, I don’t have space for all the things I want to show up. I’m not ready to receive them.

But I can get ready. I can create space. I can get organized and be more efficient with my time. I can let go of people and situations that are no longer serving me. I can take the time to clean up my “stuff” so that I don’t drag it all into my next relationship.

I have a tendency to fill up every inch of my schedule with to-do’s. While some of it’s necessary, most of it is just me filling up my time so that I’m not bored. Or more likely so that I’m not alone with myself and my own thoughts (God forbid). But I now realize that in order for the Universe to deliver to me all the things I want this year I need to create room for it, and I need to prepare for it. This means creating space in my schedule and in my life. It may mean that I have to empty my plate a little bit so that it’s not so full. And it will mean “acting as if”, and structuring my life around my dreams and desires.

So now that you’ve spent a few weeks dreaming and setting your goals for the year ahead, what do you have to change in your life so that you can receive them? Where do you have to create space? What do you have to let go of? How can you prepare?

The Universe wants to deliver to you everything that you want. Make sure that you are ready for it when it arrives.
