My Vision Board for 2012

Want = Desire
You want something
You desire something.
But you don't need it.

For the Law of Attraction to work, you cannot be asking for something you need. Because needing something, implies you must have it now, you need it urgently and that implies fear if you don't get it now. If you ask for or desire something while being afraid, you will just become more afraid. Being afraid is not being positive.

When you desire something, there is NO TIMETABLE. It will come - eventually - but in the universe's time - not by your timetable.

You can ask for something to happen by a certain date - but dont ask for that date to be tomorrow or next week or next month. Next year is probably good. The universe will do what it can to make it happen, but you need to give the universe a little time to organise it.

The difference between Want and Need is Self Control.

In my family we have one pay-as-you-go cell phone and most of the time we are not using it. We may want a new cell phone - but we dont really need it. The plain ordinary landline telephone along with an answering machine, work together very well. They catch all our messages and the bill is a lot cheaper.

My biggest goal for this year (2012) is to find a job specifically in the area of antiquarian books. .

In fact I want to work for one specific antiquarian shop here in Toronto called D&E Lake

I want to work as a researcher, a cataloguer and an administrative assistant.

I have a business administration diploma and a good knowledge of antiquarian books. I am more than willing to learn more.

I want this position to be part time - between 20 and 25 hours per week with 4 weeks annual vacation and I want to earn between $800 and $1000 per month gross.

Oh and I want to be hired by D & E Lake before the end of 2012.

Looking back on my life, I have actually used the Law of Attraction and obtained 3 of my goals.

Back in the early 1990s, when I was at my lowest and loneliest, I was stuck in a job I absolutely hated. When the company started downsizing, I discovered that I could be given severance if I chose to leave and allow someone else to be given my job.

So that's what I did. I applied for a severance swap and was out of the job with a nice severance package, within 2 months. I was astounded at how fast the whole process took. This was my first use of the Law of Attraction.

Several years later by the mid 1990s, I was tired of being alone and I remember just saying out loud to the universe (or God if you want to think of it in that way) that I wanted to be married by the end of the year 2000. I also said I wanted to have at least one child, preferably a boy, and if I had 2 kids that would be fine as well.

Well - both of those have also come true as well!!!

I was married in October 2000 and we have one child. As you can tell from his pictures on my lenses, he is of course a boy. And he is the one thing I have created that I am very proud of.

I do not have 2 children because I was not absolutely definite about a second child. I do wish I had been more assertive about saying I definitely wanted 2 children - preferably one boy and one girl.

When you are truely honest with yourself, and you know what you want - the universe will do all it can to get it for you.

Related directly to my antiquarian books career, I want to start and finish the Archives and Records Management Certificate course at George Brown College here in downtown Toronto.

This is a part time evening course. I want to be able to start this course in September 2013 (including having the money to pay for it) and have completed this certificate by the summer of 2016.

George Brown was a Canadian journalist and politician, of Scottish origin, who founded the Toronto Globe Newspaper - now called the Globe and Mail.

George Brown wrote several books as well.
