Welcome at Flow of Miracles

Dear People,

One of the things that happen the most when you live a vibrant and happy life is that you are starting to notice that you will be called to more and more situations and that most of them might become 'more difficult' with time. Listening to your intuition will become easier, but the situations it wants to resolve will have greater stakes, but also greater rewards. Change is one of the hardest things for all humans, as we tend to like things to stay predictable.

Even so, here are some interesting examples in my business life that you can see have increased stakes.

Renting my first space
When I just started out, I mostly worked at people's homes and was still wondering how I was going to start up my business. I naturally spoke to other friends about starting my business, especially one that had rented a space for years already. I also attended a networking meeting where I met his landlord. I actually wrote an e-mail to him to see if anything was available.

I didn't hear back, so that was a bit of a bummer. But a few weeks later my intuition told me that I should send an e-mail again. I did and this time two spaces where available so I even had the choice to see what would work for me. The stakes weren't that high, because I could rent in a building that was going to be torn down so I could do month-by-month rent which is unusual for businesses. The rent also wasn't that high because of that. I told myself I'd try for 3 months, instead of going on holiday (around the same amount of money as 3 months rent) and if it didn't work out, I'd quit. So that was perfect for starting up.

Moving to my second space
Of course the building was eventually torn down, so just before we were all told we had to vacate. Most of us wanted to stay together and our landlord had acquired another building, but that one was significantly smaller. So, it was all fate if you could fit or not. Our landlord first made spaces available to larger companies and those that rented from him longer.

A lot of people told me to find another space, especially when the date to move out was approaching. My intuition however told me that I would find space in the new building. The stakes weren't that high, because I told myself that worst case scenario I'd work from home to make it work. I would then go find another space to rent for my business. However, imagine my delight when a space became available for me just a week before we were supposed to move out.

TV program
Of course being on TV would be great for me, but it was also quite a hefty business expense. I watched segments of the show, I thought about possibilities and I wondered what it would do for my business. It was quite interesting that my intuition told me to go for it. It was contrary to a lot of advice I was getting and the stakes were definitely higher, as it was a lot of money.

I did decide to listen and I am happy to report I did recoup that money and then some. I really do believe it was important for my business.

I my personal life I also notice that stakes have gone up and I'm able to make decisions that carry more risk if they 'go wrong' then I would have done a few years ago. However, the rewards also have been a lot bigger, which is wonderful. I'm eager to find out what joys are awaiting me for the future.
