I think that's a very fair & true comment

Well, let's see... It's been a little over a year now since making the original request in this thread.

What has come to pass??
It's important to give & say "Thanks"

& to reflect on opportunities given, recieved & sometimes.... the ones we have missed, for all is not just manifestation - you gotta meet the universe halfway & reach out & grab what's on offer.

I asked for a steady career for at least the next four years so I could focus on study and family.

In late Febuary I was running low on money yet determined not to just take any job & believe me I was turning down good money - I'm well skilled...
but soon came a little part time job.

I asked for work that suits my skills well & that would see me progress happily.

Well, that little part time job felt like it had my name written on it. In fact I excused myself during the interview for being so bold & told them exactly that.."When I read your job ad' I felt like it had my name written on it!" I was excited!
That little part time job was for a maintenance handy man in a marina.
My background is a metal tradesman, who's been involved in hospitality roles & have worked in the sailing industry.
Pretty soon I was asked to work more & more. Due to a freak accident while my bosses were away I was able to show the depth of my skills. Shortly after I was asked if I would take on the role of Occupational Health & safety Representative - which I did. Then I was put on salary, given a small pay rise. The company has also paid for me to drive scissor lifts & to complete my first aid.

All the time I was very humble & very gracious & for the first time in my life I found myself saying "I love my job!"
Always knowing that although I had worked hard - all these opprtunities were afforded me by the universe through the people & company I work for.

Thank you universe.
Now I did ask for "Good money" - (so that I can invest towards my community centre.) & I've gotta say - I've had better.... but I can see plenty of room for improvement on my part. How I can be of more value to the company that affords me this wonderful environment to work in.
That's what I mean by missed opportunities & reaching out & meeting the universe halfway. Ya gotta go for it.

I asked for work that brings the opportunity to travel at times, to meet and greet people.

Well I certainly meet & greet many people as I'm now the maintenance co-ordinator for 2 marinas in which we also have office tenants, restaurant& cafes 7 even a helipad. So I get to travel on a small scale between marinas & go out to purchase supplies.

Once again universe. Thank you. I'm very lucky..
Also I will soon get flown interstate to lear how to manage major dock repairs. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

I asked to make a difference, to be amongst people of mutual respect.

Many people around the marina are so happy to see some one putting some care into the whole environment & their happiness makes me happy.

I asked to contribute ideas..

Now I have to come up with 3 solutions or quotes to any new projects we have. Wow I love this job Thank you universe. It keeps me on my toes

& THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE IN THIS THREAD WHO SHOWED THEIR SUPPORT & THANK YOU TO WHO EVER STARTED THIS TRIBE - ROCK-ON! IF YOU HADN'T STARTED IT I MAY NEVER HAVE HAD A PLATFORM FROM WHICH TO BE SO SPECIFIC.

I asked for evenings and weekends free - I have that also.

The life coaching studies have subsided & yoga teacher training is on hold. I have become a youth volunteer worker...

So yes! slowly doing what I love & the money did come!

bless!

& thank you for the blank page in front of me that always says "there some more room in life, if you'd like to make some improvements"

Amen.

I hope this inspires some one out there who's looking for some hope in life, who may be sceptical, to just try a little faith.. go on ask with all sincerety, show grattitude & practice patience.

Good luck!

;-)
