Law of Attraction versus Reality

I guess almost everbody has heard about the Law of Attraction, Universe or the Secret. My experiences with the Law of Attraction are, that it works for me - but not always.

Especially not, when I send out a wish and I want it very badly. This happens for example when I want a new job or money. When I make a wish for money, lets say for a vacation, the Universe sends me application forms for Credit Cards or Loans, but not the money into my bank account.

Another example is my wish regarding the Job Interview last Wednesday. The day before I wrote in my Journal: Dear Universe I wish that the Job Interview goes well and I have the new position. Thank you.

Okay, the Interview went well, they wanted to make the decision by the end of the week. So the week is over, neither I have heard nothing from them, nor the Temping Agency.

And now my doubts are creeping in, that they already hired someone else, and so on. Although there could be many reasons why I haven't heard from them until now. I wish I could simply forget about it, trust that it will arrive and move on, like I do when I make a wish for something not so important.

If there is anybody out there, who can help me with that, let me know!

My inner Gremlin

Yesterday was a very successful day for me. One Job Interview and even two companies called to offer me a job.

I was excited and happy when I came home. But when the sun went down, my mood did the same and suddenly a little voice in my head told me “don’t be too optimistic, after all you don’t have a job right now!” Yes, thank’s for sharing.

I don’t know what it is, up one moment, down the next - maybe hormone changes? I try to shut up my inner Gremlin but he is persistent. Right now he is sitting on my shoulder while I write this, reminding me that I can only do this because I have no job and enough time during the day.

Maybe I should give him a name.

Do you have an inner Gremlin too? Do you talk to him?

Good things are happening

It is incredible!

The whole time when I was a wage slave I was always looking for another/better job. Of course there were phone calls from Temping Agencies, but they came slowly.

Now that I really have to find a new job, the phone is ringing off the hook. Between 9 am and
11 am I have sent out four applications and was called back immediately.

The result: One job interview this afternoon and two tomorrow! Not bad for a few hours work!

The Universe has noticed I'm free for a new adventure.

That makes my day!

It is Saturday and I'm up early. Ok, I haven't showered yet, have my third cup of coffee while I'm sitting here in my Pajama and writing about the exciting week I had.

Since the week started a little unpleasent, it got better by the day. On Thursday I had a job interview at a Temping Agency which has several interesting assignments to offer.

I had scheduled another interview for Friday morning and while I was about to leave house, my cellphone rang and the Temping Agency I have visited the day before asked me to come by and sign a contract. I was so suprised and also in a hurry that I agreed, only to find out that the other Temping Agency has interesting offers too. Wow!

Okay, I called Agency 1 back and asked for a short time to think it over - you never know what happens next week. For me it can only get better and better.

Oh, and this morning I found a lovely email from Venus Andrecht in my mailbox!

That really makes my day!

My first day in freedom

Today is my first day as an unemployed person or what I like to call it my first day in freedom.

Freedom, because I'm not chained to a desk in the office and shuffling papers to support myself. Okay, I haven't slept so well and I woke up quite early, but I'm not used to my current situation now.

So what I did early in the morning was, I took a walk and enjoyed the beautyful weather in the nearby park. I sat on a bench and read a few pages in a self-help book and felt really calm and relaxed and I thought how great my life is and I have to be grateful for everything I have. Employed or not.

But enjoying my new freedom cannot last too long, so back at home I looked at my list of contacts and sent an email, called a company and searched the internet for a new job. I really wish to have a new interesting job until my birthday this month. Although I'm convinced that money will always find a way to come to me, I'm sure it doesn't come without any doing from my side.

And I listened to a recorded show of Venus Andrecht at hayhouseradio, I really like her and I can really recommend her, especially if you're looking for a psychic reading.

For everybody who is in the same situation like me, keep up the good spirit, stay positive and good things will happen to you.

It's better to make a painful break than draw out the agony

So, finally my first week in the new job is over - thank God!

I was bored to death, angry about myself, because I was frustrated and had not very much to do. What happened over the weekend was, instead of completely enjoying the beautyful weather in my Dad's garden, I was unable to relax and did not sleep well.

I have to admit, although I know that it is useless to dwell on a problem and to try to analyse what caused it, I do it over and over again. The result: I'm even more frustrated.

So, talking about analysing the situation - what went wrong that has lead to my current job- problem?

The job interview went well, I had a good feeling about working in this company and I liked the colleagues. Yes, they mentioned they have a lot of mothers to be, company cars, pension plans and direct insurances to handle. But I couldn't imagine that this would be the main part of my work.

Have I made the decision to work there too fast? Well, I had not much time to think it over. The day after my job interview the Temping Agency called and asked if I wanted to work there. They had to know very soon because there were another applicant. I had to decide immediately and I did. I gave in my notice and signed the new contract all in a few hours.

And so it happened, that I made what seems the wrong decision. All I can do now is to end this dilemma and so I called the Temping Agency this morning and resigned from the job.

What have I learned from that? You never know what's really going on in a company until you work there. And there are no right or wrong decision, there are only decision you have to make based on the information you have at this time.

And now it is time again for a new beginning!

Bad Karma

I started a new job last Friday - with high hopes I should mention, only to find out it looks like the same boring job I left.

Yes, I'm still working as a Temp, but this time for a different company and for more money. But my new assignment has almost everything I don't like to do as an Admin in Human Resources. There are a lot of mothers to be, company cars and I suppose my "favourite" Excelsheets for almost every analysis in this department to prepare. And I spent the last three days alone with filing and binning, my new colleague was on vacation.

Thank God, my new employer seems to understand my problem and we agreed to wait another week, if the job gets better. 5 Clients are waiting for an Admin, so my chances for a new assignment are good.

I wonder, if it is bad Karma - if such a thing exists. I have worked in the same area where my new assignment is located three times before in the last 19 years and whatever company, or job it was, it never worked out.

Bad Karma - or simply bad luck?
