This one is going to be super short because I have 100% been distracted this entire week. I believe that the universe can bring us opportunities, give us choices. The thing is that you have to be willing to listen and say yes. Two things happened over the last week that I have said yes to and that have started a slow but chain reaction.
A coworker of mine, a friend, has been asking me to go to the bar for a few months. Just for drinks after work. Well last week, instead of the normal invite, Ed asked if I would like to meet one of his buddies. I am skeptical when people try to set me up just because I have a hard time letting people in and feel like its hard to get to know me. But this time I wanted to be out on a Friday night, I wanted the opportunity to meet someone new.
Well, the buddy and I did not make a love connection for sure. It was hard for us to find something to talk about. It didn’t really seem like either of us were interested. We did a few shots to enjoy the Knights game and said goodbyes. So where is the chain reaction, you ask? That date wasn’t it. But it did give me just enough of push to get back into things. I had a conversation with my girlfriends and I have another date planned for this weekend. And we have a brunch planned to mingle after that.
The second yes opportunity is work related. I mentioned that I have a resume ready and that things at work have been shifting. My boss and I have a good relationship and the company that she is moving forward with has other positions available. She told me that I should send my resume to the sales manager. It is a large, tile company, with multiple showrooms and I have a design background and tons of showroom experience. I said yes, please send me the info and now I have a video interview already scheduled. This could be the change up that I am looking for.
Some yesses will be small. Someone could offer you a bite of their food and you find a new favorite. Or maybe you get invited to a dance class, really enjoy it and find a new hobby. You could be asked to take a training course at work and that leads to a promotion. My point is give things a chance. One little step in the right direction can take you down some exciting new paths.
