Calendar Books by Allen James - Daily Reading - "The Journey: A Calendar Book"

I find myself at a crossroads in my life at 54.  What do I do?  I cautiously take the road less traveled.....

 
Calendar Books by Allen James' reading for November 4th, from The Journey: A Calendar Book,

"Be aware of what you want and strive to attain it" (James, 2012).

Our being aware, having a general awareness, is a recurring theme throughout Allen James' publications. This is no coincidence.

Each calendar book is meant to be a "tool" for those up for the ride of their "purpose" Without first having an awareness, being conscious, is a tool which must be applied to goals, desires, wants of personal success, a fulfilling life of happiness and positivity long before actually obtaining them. If is an impossibility for a living, breathing, healthy human being to go through life randomly. There are few coincidences throughout life. The journey to personal success is taken on a long road. Knowing what want to get from it, our destination if you will, takes years. We MUST have ourselves prepared or the obstacles along the way can be so discouraging we stop short of our intended "ending point".

Those who are embrace this "awareness", are those individuals who are just this, prepared with the appropriate tools and a desire to attain what it is we desire.

I recently found myself hit by a "falling boulder" along my path; I was forced to resign my 10 year position due to new administration and an apparent need to cut the budget.  I have been doing the job of three individuals over the past 5 years, now I am unemployed in the middle of a school year and desperately looking for a job; a job which will pay what I had been getting paid to pay the bills.  Although this "falling boulder" took my by surprise, I know something good will come out of it.  Thirty years have been spent in a career preparing me for this.  I'm enjoying my journey, and my hopes are you are as well. Make provisions for a journey full of many surprises, bumps along the way, and detours.

Be aware of what you want and strive to attain it.

Keep looking up. : )   AJ
