Conception to Delivery
February 19th, 2007 by Cristina Favreau
No!! This isn’t a birth announcement (I wish!).
I had a profound dream this weekend — well, profound for me. I’m sharing it to show what happens when you stop trying to ‘force’ an idea or solution. By remaining happy and positive, and by taking positive actions towards your intentions, you allow the law of attraction (or Intention-Manifestation as Steve Pavlina teaches it) to do it’s thing. Here’s an example of how it manifested with me.
My dream was this:
I was on the phone, coaching a client I absolutely adore. Just before ending our call, she said, “You know Cristina, when I think of you, the word ‘conception’ comes to mind.” Typical of my personality, I gave a smart-ass reply: “Thanks, but I have to do a little less conceiving and a little more delivering.“
I woke up laughing at my own joke (ouch)!! But then it hit me, and couldn’t go back to sleep — I was on to something, but couldn’t put my finger on it. Knowing it was useless trying to go back to sleep, I got out of bed (which is a big deal for me at this point), waddled to my office, scrounged for a pen and scribbled: ‘conceive -> deliver’.
Crawling back into bed, I knew my dream was more than just a reference to my pregnancy. So, I started asking myself “What do I have to deliver? What have I conceived? What am I waiting for? How is the law of attraction at work right now?” Then I understood! You see, I have a bunch of great ideas, tons of projects started, many semi-connections made, but I procrastinate on ‘delivering’ them… I was being taught to just GET THE STUFF OUT THERE ALREADY!
Then yet another product idea came to mind, and have been writing like crazy trying to bring it through the entire process: idea -> conception -> preparation -> delivery.
Are you like me, where, once you’ve come up with an idea, plan, project, etc…, you start it, but something happens to derail you — you get lost in the details, get distracted, get bored, tell yourself you’ve bitten off more than you can chew, feel like it’s taking too long, or tell yourself it’s not that great an idea anyways? That’s when I’ll put it aside to ‘work on later’ — which hardly ever happens because I’ll start on something new, repeating the same pattern.
What I’m trying to say is, my dream carried a deep meaning for me: It’s fine and good to conceive ideas and prepare them well… but eventually you’ve got to deliver, or risk losing what you’ve worked so hard at. I guess it came to me in a semi-conscious dream, because I’ve committed (intended) for 2007 to ‘deliver’ on projects I’ve put aside. I’m feeling the pressure of one of my projects finally coming to reality.
What have you conceived that’s just waiting to be delivered? Commit, right now, to completing it, start taking actions towards that commitment, and keep your eyes open for ways the universe to support you!
