Asking for something specific
This week Dame Oprah interviewed Princess Glambert. I really like this guy! Each time I see Adam Lambert in an interview I am struck by his authenticity. For all his theatricality (and let's not get into the ridiculously over-blown controversy surrounding his TV kiss -- thank you tight-ass conservative America ass-holes) Lambert is unbelievably grounded and very real! And his album is great.
So he was discussing with Ms. O how it was that he came to the Idol competition. He was a theater fag doing "Wicked" in Los Angeles and said that he was "bored" of that work and, "kinda' asked for something to happen."
There are two very important concepts that Lady Glambert and Lady O are discussing here:

There are two very important concepts that Lady Glambert and Lady O are discussing here:
- Envisioning what you want your life to be and putting that out into The Universe.
- Taking action.
This blog is my way of sending my thoughts and life lessons out into The Universe. Throughout these entries I have dealt with my bankruptcy, bitched about my job, lamented over being out-of-shape, and found that I lack confidence. So basically, The Universe has heard a lot of bellyaching and bitching from my end. Where in all this are my hopes, where are my dreams, where are my visions and goals? Hell, if I were The Universe I would have tuned me out months ago.
I was never taught that "good things come to good people" or that you should just "wish upon a star." Quite the opposite actually. My working-class/Middle-America parents believe that "hard work" is the only way to make anything of yourself. But "hard work" alone doesn't mean you'll make it if you don't have a goal -- just as "good thoughts" alone won't get you anywhere without you paying some dues. It would seem to be more likely that, as with everything in The Universe, a balance must be struck.
I've not had a lot to be positive about the last few months and it's beginning to show physically. The problem is: the more negativity I allow myself to exude, the less things around me improve... and then I get even more negative 'cause my life is worse. It's a snowball effect. What people in my situation often fail to recognize is that, in a Universe of balance, the opposite of this effect must also be true. The more positive energy and hope I exude, the more good fortune will flow into my life. BTW: this new-age hippy talk would probably be considered hogwash back in Indiana.
I've taken some action, made an outline to guide my efforts in 2010 and all. But I've not really established a goal - I've not created a solid vision of where I want to go for my next life step. I've got to figure out exactly what I wish for my life and begin to really envision and picture myself in that next stage. By then putting those thoughts out into The Universe I can seize opportunities and take action. Without first focussing on a direction, how can I ever know where to go?
Clearly I've asked The Universe for a change - I just haven't offered up many paramaters for it yet.
