Visualized.Feel.Abundance

Hi,

What I am sharing today is a True Story.

Have you ever felt stressed over a job assignment? You know, the kind that you just don’t know what to do, how to handle or simply out of your depth of comprehension? The kind of assignment that you think was assigned to you to make you quit the job (or as they say “look for a greener pasture”)? I have been through a few round.

In the past, before I learn of the Law of Attraction, when I was assigned the implementation of an IT project for my company. I would dread it from the moment it was assigned to me. I am not a technical person and I do not know how to manage an IT project from conception to implementation. I felt that it would take too long for me to learn and I have no idea what I was supposed to do so naturally I do what most people in similar situation will do. I quit!

A few years and another job later, I was in a similar situation and I needed to implement an IT project for my company. I am still as nontechnical as I was and still have yet to manage any IT project from conception to implementation but now I understand what Abundance is about and I could see choices and options that I have never seen before.

As James mentioned in his last post, Knowledge can create Abundance. That is what I chose to do. I acquired knowledge. Not from books, not from course but from James (He was previously an IT Project Manager, hee hee). So why didn’t I think of that last time, again it’s about limited mindset (I belief it could not be done, with or without James help and advice) and hence limited choices.

I learn from him that I need to concentrate on the “Management” aspect of the project and let the vendors offer the technical advice and solutions. I learn from him that I need to enlist the full support of upper and middle management and key users in the implementation of the IT project and make them understand their responsibilities towards the project (I would have had a heart attack if I had to do this in the past). I learn from him that project management is all about managing schedule, collecting and understanding requirements, moderating user’s expectations and basically getting a workable system up and running that is usable within an acceptable time frame and budget!

At the end, it still wasn’t an easy assignment but neither was it “Mission Impossible”. With knowledge, I ended up with a lot of choices to choose from. Choices such as:

• It’s too technical or It’s about management
• It’s too much work or It can be delegated
• It’s my responsibility or It’s my colleague’ responsibility as well
• There’s too much with too short a time or It’s about which is important given the time frame
• Management does not support me or I need to win management support
• And many other choices, major and minor ones

To be honest, the choices were always there but we limit them by our limited mindset. What I did was to open the door to Abundance with a key called knowledge. And the key reasoning that helped me was when James said this

“No company would like to spend tens and hundreds of thousand to implement a project doomed to failure, they might as well save the money. No software company is out to mess up their own project, reputation and incur a liability, they might as well don’t take the project. Hence, I conclude that no one is out to mess up your assignment unless you mess it up yourself. If that is the case, you have the choice to turn down the assignment and save yourself the trouble!”

I would say that without those new knowledge I acquire from James on how to manage that project, the chances of messing up would be high.

So how does the Law of Attraction fit into all this? Knowing Law of Attraction allowed me to handle difficulties with a positive attitude and see immediate choices to fill the gap between where I am to my end goal. Once of those choices was learning from James (he was always there beside me but I never bother to tap into this side of his knowledge) and I took it.

Acquiring that knowledge creates an Abundance of choices that led to more knowledge and choices and it goes on, as long as you focus on the positive side of things and keep pressing on. Issues with work, resistance to change, tight work schedules of co-workers, uncountable requirements that everyone wants implemented and countless perceived negative situation are bound to pop up here and there. We have to acknowledge and work around them.

One of the most important lessons I learn in this period was to ASK when in doubt, ASK when you need more information, ASK when you need clarification, ASK to confirm if you have to and never ASSUME. Asking is a very powerful way of tapping into the knowledge of the people around you.

Understand this, what we are sharing here may sound like a different concept of abundance commonly discussed elsewhere but actually they are the same. We just add a missing piece of the puzzle where many people could not bridge (i.e. what you need to do to get from limited to abundance mindset). Knowledge is one of the many possible missing piece of puzzle that can close that gap and I hope by sharing my story, you will embrace Abundance by acquiring whatever necessary knowledge you need.

Hugs,
Karen
