Attracting Opportunities Through Action

Recently, I have found myself attracting opportunities that are moving me in the direction of what I want because I had taken effective action. One example was on the day of a business expo in my home suburb. Although that particular day I had not been feeling well, I knew that by going to the business expo, I would meet new people and possible new contacts to help reach my goals. At the expo, there was a major prize being offered and in order to be eligible to go into the draw, each person had to collect twelve colour coded stickers from the stalls. So, I made my way to each stall and spoke to every exhibitor and collected my stickers. Before I left, I made sure I filled out my details and placed my entry into the barrel. The next day, I received a phone call from the company that ran the expo saying that I had won the first prize, which is a trip away to the Central Coast to stay at a four star hotel. I will also be given the keys to a Toyota vehicle to drive there and back.

The reason I put myself in the position to win the prize was that I had taken action towards what I wanted. The prize was just a bonus. The action had set up the attraction for me to win the prize.

Being on a high after hearing the news of my win, I attended another business expo run by the same company at another suburb yesterday. As before, they had the same system on hand for winning a prize. I made sure that I mentioned to the people at the registration desk that I had won the prize a couple of weeks back. I once again collected my stickers and entered into the draw. And wouldn't you know it, I got a phone call today with the news that I had won a prize, not the major prize, but it is for a dinner for two at the Crown Plaza hotel, which is absolutely fantastic.

So, wonderful things can happen when you take action and move towards your goals. As Thoreau said, "If a person advances confidently in the direction of their dream, and endeavors to live the life they have imagined, they will with success unexpected in common hours."
