Staying Green

Happy St. Patrick's Day and welcome to blog #11!

Today was a good and productive day.  The more I understand my purpose, the more I find that even mishaps have their place in the order of my life.  Today reminded of a movie I recently watched called "The Adjustment Bureau".  It's a film about destiny and how what is seemingly an act of free will isn't.  Don't want to ruin the movie for anyone who wants to watch it.  I found it entertaining.  

Anyhow, my phone malfunctions this morning and I had to take it to the Verizon store to get it fixed.  Before I left the house, I decided to grab a couple of copies of  a newspaper in which I have an ad.     Turns out, that the customer service guy, who helped me last year, happened to just arrive.  We had lost touch, in which I claim full responsibility.  The strange thing was I had thought about him the day before!

So as we were talking, he askes what I've been up to.  I told him that I'm a member of the chamber of commerce and still working on my health and wellness project.  It seemed that my subconscious planned for me to grab the paper from my house to show him my ad, which I did.  It instantly gave me credibility.  He mentioned that his girlfriend is looking to increase her cashflow and also looking to lose weight.  We exchanged contact information and will be setting up something soon.

Later that day, I wanted to buy some mouthwash.  The store that came to mind was Stater Bros.  When I arrived, outside the entrance was a little girl scout with her mom selling cookies.  As I was leaving, I approached this young entrepeneur, bought a box of tagalongs and began talking to the mom.  Turns out she's been looking for work and claims she's excellent in sales (after all, she got her daughter doing it, right?). We exchanged contact information, and will be setting up something with her close to the end of the month, when she's back in town.

Of course, I had my fun also.  After all, all work and no play makes Owen a dull boy, right?  So I treated myself to a green Stella and corned beef sliders in celebration of the Irish tradition.  I even wore green today.  Everything seemed to fall into place pleasantly and nearly effortlessly.  All my decisions seemed as if it was a part of a bigger design.  The sun was out, everyone was happy and I wasn't stressed a whole lot, though I got a lot done.

I ended the evening with doing a phone strategy with Nick and how to help him expand to Texas and California.  Actually the evening ends with writing this blog.  No, it ends with checking my facebook, twitter and then making revisions on my blog.  Ok, the work doesn't end, but it's enjoyable because it's part of progression.  There's a purpose rather than a mundane routine of simply paying bills until we die.  I continue to learn no matter if it's a good day or bad.  I'm staying green.  Cheers!
