How Long?

Some time during late November 2009, an event happened at my old job that really crystallized for me that it was time to get a New Job in the very near future. I had already seen "The Secret" movie and had used some of its principles for modest changes in my life. I determined that it was now time to use it for a BIG change - my fabulous New Job.

On December 6, 2009, I really launched this new initiative in my mind. On that date, I first began using a journal, describing the attributes of my New Job. I wrote in this journal throughout the week, and sometimes throughout the day, depending on how much reminding I needed about my new goal. I put reminder notes around my house and in my car, and also told a few select people about it. I did a little online job searching, but stopped when I felt that it wasn't the right way to go about finding something new and fabulous.

In "The Secret" DVD, we're told that we need to set goals that seem reasonable to us...believeable, logical, do-able. While working on my vision for my New Job, I wanted to choose a time frame so the universe would know that I wanted this change to happen VERY soon. Since my vacation at my old job began just before Christmas and ended January 7, 2010, I decided that my New Job vision should include finding this new employment by January 7, so I won't have to return to my old job.

Part of my Crisis of Faith is that this deadline is now very close! It is requiring more effort to stay focused on the positive, because I don't have any leads yet. Do I even entertain thoughts of this change not happening by the date I've set? I really don't know how long to give a change like this. I DO know that I've wanted a New Job for many years now, but have only really made this a firm decision as of December 6.

My old office is completely cleaned out, and I've done as much as I can to distance my self and my thoughts from it. Perhaps today I will spend some time doing online job searches? Thoughts...anyone? Advice?

Help, Universe!
