Oh! The places you’ll go!

An amazing book for little and big people, by Dr Seuss

I am currently in the process of selling a property in the Australian market and as we all know, there is a general belief that it is NOT a good time to be selling.

That statement, which everyone just relishes in expressing, the second you mention you are selling a property, just sets you up, for what seems as potential and imminent failure. But what the hec is failure anyway and who knows what great things may occur, from NOT selling?

Good luck, bad luck, good timing, bad timing, it is all, in my belief system, just how the universe works and believe me, after loosing the love of my life, Indi and Jesse’s daddy; I am 100% clear, as to just how important it is, to always know that you have a choice about how you want to create your life, even after being dealt an unexpected curve ball.

What is and isn’t fair, is a broken down car, kind of conversation, it is not going anywhere fast and how the cookie crumbles is one thing, but how YOU, take charge of your life, is a completely different story!

I am selling my place after much debate and after many a hugely protective friend or family member, has tried to stand in my way. Their only intention is of protecting me from parting with my security and the metaphoric roof that shelters my little family of 3.  N.B. Love and a fear based agendas, can be a quite a disempowering combination when you are on the receiving end.

However, for me, fear of something happening or not happening, has no effect on the choices I make and I am completely clear, that if indeed, selling the place and removing some of the financial strains that I have hanging over me, is meant to be, then the place will be sold and I am free to get busy with my master plan.

Having said that, I also believe that if it does not sell, then that it is just the universe, demonstrating that there is, in fact, an alternative route to be considered and perhaps an unexpected new adventure on the horizon.

…And all I have to do, in this crazy esoteric journey, is make sure I am taking action towards my goals and completely and whole heartedly, trusting that the outcome WILL happen, when the time is right.

Focus on what you want and not what you are afraid of and the rest will follow.

      I am a big believer that everything does happen for a reason and God will not give you more than you can handle. You need to do what feels right for you and your kids and not try to please anyone else. Sending u luv and luck from Canada.

    I admire your strength and determination, and may the outcome of this decision make you very happy.  

    To be completely honest, if I had the financial means  I’d probably very much like to own that particular house myself.

     excellent!

    I follow your way of thinking too and can’t and won’t be driven by fear, I truly believe everything will work out in the end and works out how it’s supposed to work out. I won’t be driven by fear of the choices I made or make.  We recently bought 12 acres of wooded land, completely raw (as in a lot of work to prep in order to live on) in an incredible location. It’s been our dream to live amongst nature in a serene peaceful place, but we’ve heard all the ‘fears’ other people have……”It’s going to cost a lot of $$ to get sewer-water-electric, you have to dig this, dig that, yada,  yada, yada”, Yes we were fully aware of the steps it would take to get to where we want to be with the property, and  it will be well worth it. Often the best things in life don’t come easy, you have to work for/towards them which makes it that much more satisfying to achieve! We are facing the ‘challenge’ without fear….the other thing we have already heard is the ‘best’ time to list/sell our house, “The Summer, we must list it in the Summer!” haha Well, we aren’t worried about when we are going to list it, whether it be Spring, Summer, Fall or Winter……when we are ready to list it, THAT will be the best time for us to list it. Glad you are following your plan Vashti, it will all work out, I know it!

    I’m sure the universe will let you know which path you’ll be walking along next. I don’t think there is ever a right time to sell a house in the current climate of the world, but if we all stopped selling none of us would get anywhere :) xx

    I think ‘home’ is what happens inside a dwelling so really, the shell is irrelevant in many ways. No doubt the universe will provide you and your lovelies with what you need….sell away!

    I say “GO FOR IT” Vashti. If that is what is on your heart to do, you feel it is the right thing for you and the kids to do, then do it. What is the worse thing that can happen? If you don’t try you won’t ever know they answer. If you do try and it doesn’t sell then you are in the boat you are in now and the answer will come for what happens next.

    You are soooo right, but, sometimes, the problem is that you don’t know what you want… this is the real problem…

    I love your words..because you are plenty of love to your family..There´s a song who says  ”que sera, seraaa,whatever will be, will be..and you are looking for the best for you and for your children.. :)

    I’m a young widow myself and recently sold my husband’s childhood home that became our home. But after he died, it wasn’t home anymore. Took me about 2 years and a massive renovation to figure that out. I downsized and moved into an area I love. It was the biggest step forward to embrace this new life and to give my 2 year old son and I the best chance to rebuild the shattered foundation of our lives. Follow your heart, do what is best for you and your children regardless of those who try to stand in your way.

      Thank you for responding… it is quite an extraordinary journey isn’t it! Wishing you and your little man lots of love. Stay in touch as would love your contribution on future topics.

    I never really believed that you could change the shape of your butt!!! Now I know it’s just a commercial and that they usually stretch the truth a bit and bring in ppl who had beyond normal results but I couldnt believe the butt transformations!!!!!
    For the MMQ family that are joining Vashti on the “Butt challenge” I think it might be something to check out!! For anyone who has tried it let us know how it worked for you!!!
    Mamma MMQ I hope this helps the bum transformation!!!!

    So funny that you say this. Three years ago I let the universe take over on keeping a roof over my head while I worked on my master plan and it hasn’t let me down yet. Great post!

  • Irena

    It WILL happen when the time is right.  I envy your certainty of having a master plan.  Now I would like to know: HOW does one find that master plan???  
    Good luck and success with everything!

    Vashti – my husband loves this book and treats it as a a guide for wherever he is in his life/career etc.  We have recently been in The Waiting Place!  Congrats on your decision – only you will know the right thing to do, and hey, if it doesn’t work out, you can always have the power to change it.  Love your blog!

    Australians are … odd? what is the word? about  property ownership. Everyone’s an expert apparently. It is so common for people to ask me if we own our home or if we’re renting it. Huh? How is that relevant to anything? And it all seems so unexamined, just taken for granted that home ownership is what you aspire to. And once you’ve got one? Don’t rest on those laurels! Bigger, better, renovate it!

    Honey, you do what you’re doing. it’s a house. It has no meaning that you don’t attach to it. xx

    Also I read that book for the first time this past weekend. Love. And loved the conversation I had with my kids about it.

    Im a huge believe in whats meant to be will be and it will show itself.

    I have just sold my house and I live in a country in Europe which has been badly hit by ‘la crisis’. But for many reasons, I knew I wanted to sell my house and sell my house I did. It only took one viewer. I believe in my intuition and that it leads to manifesting my desires. Of course I have moments when I wake up at night andI wonder if I’ve made the right decision (especially because I am a single mom), but I make myself go right back to sleep. I cannot afford to let fear be a part of my life, because I would would much rather enjoy it!

    I love your blog, Vashti! And admire your strength, your parenting and the love you have for Andy.
