Okay, I’ve been trying to integrate meditation <\/strong>(funny I accidentally spelled that medication<\/strong>… is my subconscious trying to tell me something?!)<\/em> and visualization into my daily life.<\/strong> I’ve been reading the blog of Stephen Barnes and I put my goals into three categories.\u00a0 And into a triangle format, like suggested. <\/strong><\/p>\n

And here’s basically what happened. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Three most important things I’d like to focus on.\u00a0 Well, that’s fairly easy… Money, Time and… and.. hmmmm… not much beyond Money and Time!\u00a0 No wait, I think I can come up with one more… lets see, um… g0tta fit my writing in there somehow.\u00a0 How about…\u00a0 Expression.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay..\u00a0 my Money side generated its own triangle.\u00a0 This new triangle consisted of my current work at Geddes, a 2nd job and Cutting Expenses.\u00a0 Geddes generated its own triangle of New DVD, Upgrade Website to 2010, Market to Parents… ALL three of which generated their own triangles!\u00a0 Second job triangles out into Legal Secretary, Sell Writing and “unknown?”\u00a0 (Hey, I’m open to possibilities!\u00a0 Boy, I wish prostitution were legal.. I could make a ton!)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mentioning selling my writing on a triangle linked right into Expression which triangled out into Writing, Stand Up Comedy and Professional Dating Coach!\u00a0 The Writing triangles out into Work on Cat, Start the Multiverse Romance series and\/or Write the How To Online Date book.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Which links with a curvy line to my Time side.\u00a0 Because currently my Time is a triangle of Work, Kids & Me time.\u00a0 Since there are three kids, those triangle obviously into each kid and luckily they’re pretty self- sufficient… although each kid has his own triangle of “needs to work on” stuff.\u00a0 (Sheesh its endless!)\u00a0 But the divorce, with its 50% custody, might actually enable the time necessary to accomplish the other goals.. even while it makes the money goal more insistent!
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyway… I’d meditate on these triangles which begat triangles and more triangles and after a bit I realized I’d strayed.\u00a0 So I mentally pulled back and looked at my visualization.. and saw this!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Holy shit, are these goals or a Maze!?!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Funny thing is.. every day I do this something good happens.\u00a0 Usually I meditate on my job and money and no lie.. almost every day I focus this energy on bringing money in…\u00a0 we get a big order.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My girlfriends wants me to start playing the lottery!<\/strong><\/p>\n
