Rachna's Note

June 2006

Dear Reader,

Happy June! The month has been a fast paced one so far, with the

biggest news (so far!) is that we bought on a house! Yeahhh!!

We'll be moving at the end of the month, which is super exciting

(though probably a lot of work too!) I can't wait!

Overcome Rejection: The SMART Way is all done!! It's going to the

printer this week and should be available by next issue. Please

stay tuned for a special subscriber's only discount in July

newsletter. It turned out incredibly beautiful. I'm totally

thrilled. Oh, and the content is good too! (Looks aren't

everything, right??)

I was recently interviewed for Associated Press on the topic of

taking a vacation- so don't be surprised if my name pops up in

one of your local papers. Please do let me know if it does.

Also, I recently wrote my first article for a new South Asian

publication: IndiMagazine, which will debut in August in Western

Canada. I also returned to my regular health and wellness column

for ABCDlady, after taking a couple monts off during wedding

planning. If you are South Asian and/or interested in South Asian

issues, be sure to check these publications out- you're sure to

find useful information.

Overall, life is great on this end, and just keeps getting

better. I hope the same for you.

This month's issue focuses on the idea of getting out of your own

way. If you have a goal that you really, really want, but don't

seem to be getting, it's time to assess if you're standing in

your own way. I hope you enjoy this issue, and see you next

month!

Are you standing in your own way?

Is there a goal you've been pursuing for awhile now? One that

you've really, really wanted but which doesn't seem to be coming

into focus? Are there times where you've felt frustrated or

overwhelmed by really, really wanting something you don't seem to

be getting?

Me too.

For me, it's been the goal of buying a house. I've wanted to buy

my own house for years...and, for various reasons, this just

hasn't worked out as planned. At first, it was put on hold

because I started my own business. Next, it was put on hold due

to an escalating real estate market- I had no time to even place

offers before houses were sold! Then, most recently, it was put

on hold due to wedding planning. So, all told, my house buying

dreams have been about six years in the manifestation.

The good news is that we found a house and will be closing on it

at the end of June. The ironic news is that it all didn't happen

exactly as I thought. I won't say the outcome isn't good- it is-

but I will say that I've learned, a lot, about how we can

sometimes get in our own way. We can become very tied to a goal

(which is fine) but we also become very tied to HOW THE GOAL

happens (which is not so fine).

I've said before that we can ask for what we want; but we can't

control how we get what we want. In my case, everything came

together more easily and simply than I had thought. So simply, in

fact, that I didn't even trust it!

Has this ever happened to you? You've become so caught up in the

HOW? So caught up in the HOW in fact, that everything becomes

more difficult than necessary? If so, remember this: you want

your goals because they want you too. But the way they manifest

might be different than you thought.

Different is not necessarily bad. In fact, it could be even

better.

If you have a goal that seems elusive, it's time to reassess. Are

you holding onto a goal you no longer want? (If so, drop it.) Are

you holding onto a goal you really, really want? (Good!). Are

there ways your goal could come to you easier, faster, and more

quickly? (Probably).

So what will it take to get out of your own way?
