Are You Dressed For the Occasion?

​Today, I found myself wearing an over-sized beach shirt accompanied by linen pants and open toed sandals. Most of the compliments that came my way ended with a comment about how I reminded them of summer vacation. I would laugh and share my theory that if I dressed like I was on a beach, summer would arrive sooner.

​I believe heavily in the power of the mind and one thing that I read and listen to on repeat are words that discuss our ability to manifest what we truly believe. This is something that goes further than religion but doesn’t leave it behind. It’s more legitimate than science but does not falsify it. The thing we believe in goes by many names. I, personally, call it God and his divine plan for my life.

I believe that everything that’s for me is already mine and that beyond my physical sight, it waits for me. This is called vision. Now whether, you’re like me and have a pool and beach in mind or you’re seeing yourself in a new job, house, relationship, etc., vision is a necessary tool to the outcome.

Remember “luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” In my experience, I have rarely been given an opportunity I was not prepared for. This is not me saying that your girl stays ready 24/7 so that she doesn’t have to get ready. This is me saying that even if I was offered something that I know I wanted, if I have not fulfilled the requirements to qualify me to receive it, then it is not something that can be mine (and not because I didn’t accept it, but because it saw that I was not prepared for it to accept me).

So my question to you is what are you doing that will prepare you for the opportunity that wants to belong to you? You want the job, but when was the last time you updated your resume? Your goal is to be in that new house by next year, but when was the last time you checked your credit score? You want someone to love, but how well are you succeeding at loving yourself?
 
I don’t know about you, but I’m going to make sure I have the right attire for the vacation I want to be on, because it would be a shame for someone to offer me a trip to go to the islands at this very second, and I’d have to turn it down because the only thing in my closet is a fur coat.
