“The best thing you can do is to get very good at being you.” — Dennis the Menace
When I graduated college, I was offered my dream job in Rome. Ten days before I was supposed to leave, the job was canceled. I was devastated, but something deep within urged me to go anyway. With the small amount of money I had, I packed my bags and embarked on a journey that changed my life. Trusting my intuition led me to incredible opportunities: working in film, meeting lifelong friends, and eventually moving to London.
What I learned from that experience is this: when we limit how we think we’ll receive, we might miss out on the unexpected gifts the Universe is offering us.
Memories from our last in-person VISION workshop
This lesson reminds me of a favorite story:
The man whispered, “God, speak to me,” and a meadowlark sang.
But the man didn’t hear.
He shouted, “God, show me a miracle!” and a life was born.
But the man didn’t notice.
He cried, “Touch me, God, and let me know you are here!”
Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man with a butterfly.
But the man brushed it away and walked on.
