Wishin' and Hopin' and LOTS of Dwellin'...... What to do?
Sleepless nights? Tossing and turning a lot? Can't seem to get your
focus off of one person/thing/event - it's got your energies all over
the map (as in scattered) and your waking hours are spent just going
through the motions? What to do, what to do?
This seems to be a central theme right now, so I am posting a metaphor
that I wrote which may assist you and at least ease your mind so you
can get that much needed rest!
Angels on Assignment

Many
times, it’s easy to SAY “let go” and allow the process to work. The actual activity of “letting go” however,
is a difficult concept to understand.
We may THINK that we’re letting go, when in actuality, we’re not at
all. We get hung up on wanting to know
WHEN, HOW, WHY….with special emphasis on WHEN.
The
best metaphor to explain “letting go” came to me this way:
Imagine
that you are an executive, sitting behind a huge desk in a rather plush
office. Of course you have an excellent
corner office with huge windows overlooking the city below. This is, after all, the PRIME office!
You
call in your staff. (Your Angels) and have them all assembled, eager to please
you. You’ve got their full attention.
You
say to them: “Ok, staff, I need this done and I need it done NOW. I want
so-and-so to call me.”
They
eagerly take notes; say to you “right away! We’re all over it”.
Just
as they are leaving your office, you say to them, “Oh, wait”……
They
then reconvene, line up in front of you, eagerly waiting their additional
assignment.
You
say “I REALLY want so-and-so to call me”.
They’re standing there, just looking at you, because this is what you
just asked them. They respond to you,
“Sure, boss, we’re all over it, right away”.
As
they are leaving, you call them back yet AGAIN, and say “Oh, wait, one more
thing”. They once again reassemble in
front of your desk and wait for their assignment.
You
say “Please, I need this done NOW, I NEED so-and-so to call me”. They now look at you as if you’ve gone insane, as this has been something they’ve been TRYING to accomplish; yet you do
not allow them to even get out the door!
They wonder what they have done that you don’t trust them to take care
of one simple task, and you keep repeating over and over and over to them the
SAME request without even giving them TIME to work on it.
Every
time YOU demand to know the "WHEN", you call back your loving angelic crew to
perform the same task.
Remember, that YOU put your angels on assignment, it is up to YOU to allow them to take the
assignment, get out of your office, and get to work.
It
is also up to you to TRUST that once you’ve given an assignment, that it WILL
be accomplished NOT in YOUR time, but in the time that it takes for your angels
to perform the task.
In
this respect, “letting go” means, “Let them get out of your office and go to
work”.
Steps:
1.
Ask your angels
2.
Trust that the assignment will be accomplished, and stop thinking about it
3.
Say "Thank you" when it
happens

Make it a GREAT day!
Sending you angels (eager for assignments)
