Notes from the Universe, and an epiphany
Expecting "end results" - such as wealth and abundance, health and harmony, friends and laughter - in broad brush strokes, is part of the secret formula, Madeline, for manifesting the life of your dreams.
Expecting your path to follow a certain route - such as writing a bestseller to accumulate wealth, having a particular someone fall in love with you, or insisting upon this idea, that diet, or the other invention to be your deliverance - is just plain messing with the cursed hows and severely limits my options... (I hate when that happens.)
-The Universe
This is incredibly appropriate for me at this moment. I have always kind of assumed that my passion for writing would be my key to financial abundance... but who knows where it will come from, or how. I love writing, and I should write for that sake alone. I think that's the final key in this epiphany I've been having lately about writing and publishing...
I've been feeling a lot of anger towards the industry because everything I've observed has shown to me that it's a lot like high school. It's cliquey, and you're not really sure why the popular kids are popular, you just know that in order to become popular you will probably have to compromise yourself and dress and act more like them. I don't want to be popular. I never have. I just want to be myself, tell the stories I want to tell, and if that gets me a paycheck so be it. The integrity of my story is more important to me than selling it to the masses. And no, that's not my ego talking. I'm willing to work with an editor to make my book the best it can be- just, I don't want to get "best it can be" confused with "the most salable it can be." This is something that's been brewing in my head for a few weeks now, and this Note from the Universe (a daily email I'm signed up for) has helped me understand how to apply it practically to my desires.
Exciting!
