It Really Works

I’m young. That means that my theories on life have a smaller amount of “proof in the pudding” than my elders. But today, July 12, 2012, my theory on long term goal setting unfolded before my eyes all at once… and took my breath away. Here’s how it happened: On July 12, 2010 I was writing all of my daily and weekly goals down in my moleskin book and someone asked me what my ultimate goal was. I had goals as far as five years out but not an ultimate goal. So I started thinking. After about an hour and two espressos, I came up with what my ultimate goal should be. I then asked myself “why?” From there, I began working in reverse; I set a 10 year goal, a new five year goal, and then divided my five year goal by six just to give me some time to get rolling. All the while asking “why?” I decided that if I were to accomplish this goal I would need to write it down every day and remind myself “Why?” at least once a week. After I figured out “Why?” when, and how. I wrote the whole thing down in my book, which said: I am going to make one million dollars by July 12, 2012. I will accomplish this through the Tessemaes brand I have built and I will not stop until I get it. I then spelled out eight reasons why. Two months ago I was doing the math on my goal and realized that I was short. If we continued on the path that we were on in 2012 I would not get my goal…and then we released our two oil free dressings and hot sauce…AND ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. We ended up receiving four huge orders in one month, got into a new region, got approved for another and…two months went by like a blink of an eye. This morning I woke up not realizing that today was the 12th of July 2012. After going to my coffee shop to plan my day it hit me. Today was the day. Had I accomplished my goal? After looking at the books and doing the simple math, I sat back in my chair in shock. I begin to immediately think of the past two years and realized that everything that I had believed was and is true. There is an introduction to a book that I read anytime people doubt me doing the impossible which reads “Then, we warriors of light must be prepared to have patience in difficult times and to know that the Universe is conspiring in our favor, even though we may not understand how.” The moment I wrote that goal down in my book and believed it to be true, the Universe started working in my favor even though I could not understand how. So I am here two years later on July 12, 2012 telling you one thing: If you believe, in the silence of your heart that you are worthy of accomplishing your goals and dreams, commit and do it. Don’t listen to anyone. The Universe will work with you to make it happen.
