Wishcasting Wednesday: Where do you wish to make a fresh start?
changes, My Life, WishCast Wednesday Add commentsOnce again it is Wednesday, and that means Wishcasting Wednesday. This week Jamie asks us to consider “Where do you wish to make a fresh start?”
When I first read it, I read it as “what would you like a fresh start for”… and part of me immediately jumped to “my adulthood”… dayum, a lot of the time I wish I had made the right decisions when I started off my adulthood (I’m assuming around 20) and if I had done that I wouldn’t feel “lost” the way I do right now.
But even I know that’s false…
(At least I HOPE HOPE HOPE that I am not the only person who feels lost…)
But where do I wish to make a fresh start: now that is something that directs ME to make a change.
I feel like this year has been all about changes – I have moved and tried to radically change a lot of things (mostly unsuccessfully) in my life – I have tried to change the way I spend, eat, entertain myself, interact with people, and view the world… and yet I haven’t really been able to “get it”…
What I need is not a radical change by itself, but a fresh start! I need to say “okay, that was that, now lets start as if we’re starting from scratch”… I need to let go of the old systems and stories that are holding me back, and I need to MAKE A FRESH START.
Where do I need a fresh start?
- Finances. I need to let go of the past mistakes and just move forward from HERE. I have found a few really useful resources and I am starting to evaluate and learn about money management.
- Career. I need to look at my education not as a missed opportunity and a failure on my part (since I haven’t been successful in using my degrees) and start as if I am just starting out NOW with no baggage. What do I WANT to do, even if it is hard? And if I can find that I can determine the steps needed to get there.
- Love. Past patterns and past rituals need to go, and I need to start as if I was just starting out instead of as one who has been through and is afraid.
Oh wow, Pam! I heard myself in so much of what you said here. No, you are not the only one who feels lost.
As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you as well.
Pam,
Thanks for your comment! You said, “I still have the ability to try some things I haven’t tried and do things that I haven’t yet done… I just wish I knew WHAT they were now.”
Maybe we don’t need to know what they are exactly. Maybe we just need to listen to our real inner voices and say “yes” when opportunities come up. And recognize when we’re saying “no” out of fear rather than because we’re really not interested. At least this is what’s going through my head right now.
As you wish for yourself, I wish for you as well
our stories (that we keep telling ourselves) so often hold us back. sending you big heartfelt wishes…as you wish for yourself, i wish for you also.
As Pam wishes for herself, I also wish for her!
BTW, I’m STILL trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up!!! And I’m 45! ;o)
As Pam wishes for herself, so I wish for her also.
Your wishes are specific and are heard by the Universe. As Pam wishes for herself, I wish for her also.
i have felt lost at various times on my journey.. the universe does here our prayers and wishes…. you’ve made some really good focused wishes and what you wish for yourself i wish for you also
