I read a post on Buon Viaggio, a site/blog that allows me to dream and play in the merry land of "what ifs". Barbara Winter's post made cents, er, sense. If you're motivated by a goal, then there will be ways to creatively match the pennies needed to it.

It's a crude paraphrasing, but read the article here for complete information, "What Successful Goalsetters Know".

She linked to Seth Godin's post along the similar lines titled "Pennies and Dollars".

Interestingly, I think my "fly by the seat of my pants and don't end up buck naked" approach to life has yielded results ranging from the awe-inspiring to the life lesson-teaching.

Both Barbara and Seth validate a bit of what I do - find a goal and hope the Universe (and my efforts) guide me to successfully achieving it. However, I know that I'm a queen of self-sabotage and I think it's partly based on my fear of failing (who doesn't have that, really) coupled with my trepidation about money.

No matter how much or how little I have, it's difficult for me to shake the fear of the woeful or cataclysmic what-if scenario.

One brighter way I'm tryin' to overcome some of that (it's all about baby steps, eh?) is that I set a goal of travelling to two cities in two months. They're not neighbouring cities and I certainly won't drive to either or both of them. One is a bit more economical (thank you, Amtrak!) and the other ... not so much. But, the benefits of makin' it to both far outweigh my fear of spending money with such a nebulous forecast of my future.

We'll see what truth will out. I'm investing in the positivity I want in my life and I believe I will get it. To be sure, I'll post about the results here.

Until then, I'm sending positive vibes to the Universe and hoping that what will be, will be, but will also be good for/to me!

My "currently listening" selection is a songstress I've played a few times on "Paula's Picks". Her voice alone creates a musical wave to surf through the highs and lows of life.

Peace,
