TiLT: Synchronicity (and other forms of getting what you ask for)

July 15th, 2010 by Mary | Filed under inspiration

This morning, I was wishing people appreciated how hard I work. This afternoon, I’ve gotten three messages from different clients thanking me for being flexible and helpful when they were in a tough position.

It’s so easy to get caught up in drama and nonsense, but sometimes you get a “thank you” from someone, and you know you’ve just made their day easier, helped them dodge some hassle or avoid a managerial brow-beating, and it feels pretty nice.

  1. I think sometimes once you’ve identified what you want or need you’re often in a better position to notice it when it happens. And I say that as someone who often loses track of what is important to him. Sometimes I think “Why don’t I have more readers?!” and other times I think, “Isn’t it amazing that these three people have expressed such a consistent in me and what I do?”

  3. You’re so right. I was listing off all the things I do that my husband DOESN’T do the other day, and somehow I actually expected this display of teenage-angst-esque entitlement would earn me an outpouring of gratitude. (Surprisingly, it didn’t.) Then a casual acquaintance e-mailed me and thanked me for “being (his) creative inspiration.” And later, when I was feeling particularly insecure but took a break from my inanity to be a mom, my husband said “See? You’re amazing at that. I can’t do that.”

    It really is the little gratitudes. Try as we might, we can’t manufacture those.

    And on that note, thank YOU for being an inspiration for me, especially with regards to creativity, consistency, and life outlook. You’re pretty great.
