Projection is Everything

Happy New Year to all two of the folks who read this blog. *myself included* LMAO Before ya'll get started with "it's about time her ass show up again," lemme just say a chick been making it do what it do. Right, Ray? LOL

Anywho, you name it, I been into it, with the exception of things that might garner me some jailtime. But it's like this--if I thought 2006 was my year, and it was, 2007 can't help but be just as gorgeous. I'm on a roll and I see no signs of a let up.

We all know this is the time of year when many folks make resolutions. This year, I'm no different, just that I'd rather call them goals. Just know that I wasn't always this way--let me explain. There was a time when I halfheartedly made resolutions or didn't make any at all. When I did, I'd resolve to do better with my kids. To do better with my finances. To pay my house note or my car note on time. I was always making resolutions that were subject to being forgotten within the next month or so. But not anymore.

Just today, I remembered back to a time when I'd clipped a photo out of a magazine of a woman who'd started a children's transportation service with almost nothing. I taped the photo to my bathroom mirror and every day I'd look at it and the words I'd scribbled beneath it: "My dream has already become reality."

At that time, my dream hadn't been totally realized because I had no clients and hadn't even taken all the steps to open the service. Each day I looked at the photo as I dressed for work, and I felt a growing motivation within me. Just the thought of owning my own service gave me a reason to go forward, to do the research. I promised myself that every day I'd do something to get me closer to my dream because it was already a reality.

So, one day, I applied for my tax ID, the next, I created business cards and, on another, I designed magnetic signs and ordered a business phone line. I did everything it took to get my service ready to run, and even to me it seemed surreal and I couldn't figure out what was driving me.

Until now. What drove me was reinforcing my dream each and every day. That photo made my dream more real. That photo reminded me that if this woman could do it, so could I. It's funny how whatever you write down and focus on can become your reality--whether it be good or bad. So, one of my focuses for this year is to delete the negative from my life. It's like that movie Click--press delete and it's gone. 

In the past, I journaled the good and the bad and I noticed something. Whenever I journaled bad, bad continued. When I found the light in the situation, my situation changed for the good. There's something to be said for mind trajectory. If I project the positive and really believe in that projection, it will come to fruition. 

So, for this year, I've already begun my projecting. Maddafact, I did my first projection the minute the new year came in. I figured why wait? Let's get this party started.

And because I'm still as nosy as ever, it'd be nice to know what goals you've got cooking and how positive your projections have been. Also, have you projected them by writing them down, speaking to yourself about them, or placing them in plain view on the fridge, bathroom mirror, etc.?

Remember, positive projection is everything!
