Helping your wishes to happen

You may not be able to do everything in a single step. Some wishes may happen very quickly. Sometimes you have to help them happen. Stuck in a job you don't want to be doing for the rest of your life but need the money? There are still things you can do to start to move - think about what you do want to be doing - what training courses or evening classes could you be doing now. Talk to people who are doing what you would like to do. There may be many ways you can make a step towards your wishes - even if you can't do the whole journey yet.


Bouncing out of 'stuck'

Sometimes there seem to be too many choices - how to work out which is the right one? The questions below are a quick way of stretching your thinking. They can make it easier to decide
- what will happen if I do?
- what will happen if I don't?
- what won't happen if I do?
- what won't happen if I don't

Money may not be necessary

If you know what your wishes are but feel you can't make a start until you have more money. Think a bit more. What often seems to be the case is that the fear of lack of money is a way of staying stuck. I have noticed that people who are scared of their wishes coming true (and many people are) tend to use the lack of money as a reason to stay where they are. Those who want to move seem to be able to find what they need - money may not be easy to find but it doesn't stop them making a start towards their wishes.

Money is great and it can help make lots of things happen - but it never seems to be the real thing that people wish for (it is a front for love, or acknowledgement or belonging or …). Not doing things because of fears about money is about the fear not about the money. (Easy to say, more difficult to put into practice - I constantly have this debate with myself)
