It’s been a week since I’ve moved to Seattle. I’m definitely enjoying my time here so far, and it has far exceeded my expectations. Just a little over two months ago, I had no plans to leave Las Vegas. I wanted to move to another city, but I thought I would have to stay in Vegas for a while and perhaps move in two years time.
I remember putting it out to the Universe last summer (2011) that I wanted to relocate to a city by the water, with easy access to nature. After growing up on a tropical island with water around, I realized how much I missed being right by the water.
I wanted to live in a city that was large enough to offer better economic opportunities, but small enough where the city had an abundance of neighborhoods, each with its own character and vibe. I wanted to live in a neighborhood that was buzzing with a lot of art, culture, restaurants and cafes, and also where people live a healthy and environmentally-friendly lifestyle.
I thought this move would happen in two years time, and I had no idea what city fit this criteria. I didn’t have the money and resources to make this move right away, but it was an intention I had set and was determined to make this a reality.
Around Christmas time, I felt a strong intuitive urge to reconnect with my relatives in Seattle. Then it just hit me – I haven’t connected with my family here in over 10 years, so the idea just came – why not relocate to Seattle? It’s surrounded by water with lots of nature around, so why not consider it?
I spoke with my relatives, and they absolutely loved the idea. When I made that decision to move, everything just fell into place. I had no idea how I was going to make the move, but I created a plan and stuck with it. The money and resources just showed up to support this move. I easily found a place to stay with my family temporarily, which coincidentally happened to be in the exact kind of neighborhood that I described above.
I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life – making a major life decision like relocating and just following my gut instincts and intuition, and completely trusting that the path and plan will be revealed. As the days progressed, I became more aware that Seattle offered exactly what I asked for. I’ve been blessed to meet so many people who are going out of their way to help me connect with the right people that could provide me great opportunities in my career, business and social life.
So what was the major lesson I learned from all of this? If you desire something so great, and especially if it’s truly aligned with your heart’s desire, then make a firm decision to just do it! Create a plan and follow through with it. When your intuition guides you, then just do it! You’ll know it’s intuition when it feels so good and right. Sure, I had my fears and reservations, but I went ahead and did it anyway.
So instead of waiting for 2 years, I got what I wanted in a few months, without even realizing it, until I took the time to reflect on it. I’m definitely looking forward to how all of this unfolds, and I will keep you posted on what transpires.
