This may surprise a few people but I practice Law of Attraction. I listen to Abraham Hicks. Who to the best of my knowledge is an entity that exists from another dimension or universe and speaks through a woman, named Esther, and shares with us his wisdom from his world.

Weird I know.

But weird or not I keep finding that the teachings work. But this blog isn’t really about convincing you to believe in Law of Attraction or even to not judge me because I listen to some weird audio. It’s about one of the specific practices or teachings from Abraham. The practice of getting ready to be ready and how important that state is to enjoying the final manisfestation.

We often spend so much of our life waiting for that specific moment. That first kiss. That desperately needed vacation. That promotion. Whatever. And we can spend allot of effort leading up to these milestone moments only to have those milestone moments happen in an instant. And often we are left with remorse or disappointment that it’s over.

Getting ready to be ready, to me, is about really sinking into the journey of that future milestone moment. Enjoying the journey. Contemplating how you want to feel when that milestone arrives. When it is over. Dreaming about it. Dreaming with as much detail that you are able that allows you to enjoy the journey of getting to that milestone as much as the milestone itself.

This is where I am at right now. I just returned from my summer family holiday. Which was magnificent. And while I knew Morocco was on the horizon I also knew that I needed to enjoy the moment with my family and the experience that I had worked almost a year in creating. Then of course it was coming home and recovering from being away from work for 2 weeks plus jet lag.

Now I’m recovered and I’m sinking into the mindset of dreaming about Morocco. What experiences do I want to have there? Who do I want to be? What might I do beyond the IBM work that I will be there for? Who will the team be that I work with? How will I organize all of my work and family responsibilities back here at home?

This place of imagining can be overwhelming if you let it. You can so easily get lost in the endless decisions and tasks that need to be done to make such a thing happen that you forget to enjoy the journey of getting there. To enjoy the learning. The growth. The expansion of self.

Remember. It’s not the destination. It’s the journey.

I just googled famous quotes with destination and journey in them. There were hundreds ranging from Drake to Ralph Waldo Emerson. Maybe everyone listens to Abraham Hicks?
