I Expect Random Windfalls

What's going on, Cadre fam? My name's Mary. This is my best friend and Cadre partner, Jill. And together we have the pleasure of owning a company called girls mentorship, in that we get to work with teen and tween girls on developing their life and personal development skills. And one thing that we talk about all the time, every day, day in and day out, not only with them, but ourselves as well, is the power of the tongue. What you say to yourself matters. Oh, and we are doing a series around the empowering things that we say.

We're not gatekeeping here. We want to share them with you because we're also teaching our youth. So if we all can be in this conversation together, the goals that we can accomplish. No kidding. Because who here has a tendency to say, really disempowering things to themselves all the time? It's something that we've had to work on catching and reframing so those things don't come out of our mouth anymore. And one thing that I love to do this is a habit through and through and through. I have sticky notes written everywhere so I can see them and be reminded of them when I wake up in the morning, as opposed to my feet hitting the floor and getting that dreadful, oh, I have so much to do today.

Right? I say I expect random windfalls. I say it to myself and then I text it to her. Because we want possibility to enter our day, not negativity. Oh. And it's just, oh, my, you guys, the palms open to receive you are welcoming opportunity and possibility and who knows? To come into your sphere. I'm telling you, it is so fun to just see these random windfalls. So what does that look like? Or what does it. Let's give them an example. It can look like anything. I expect random windfalls could be ten minutes later getting an email that you might not have been expecting, that invites you to something that you really wanted to go to.

For us, as business owners, we're constantly communicating with other people in our community, asking for things. Right now, we're in the middle of hosting a large event, and we need vendors to come in and donations to come in. So I expect random windfalls. Maybe that's an email that comes in that says yes. Now, this doesn't detract from a door closing in your face, but as opposed to you sitting down on yourself, when that door does close, it's leaning into the opportunity that because that door closed, another, better door is going to open.

That's the windfall. And I'm telling you, it's just a switch of perspective. It's a mindset where you're not looking for the negative. Or where do you find the good in the negative. To then invite that possibility in? So we expect random windfalls because we want just goodness to continue to show up for us. And we want to share that with you. You do. You get out of life what you put into life. So if you're speaking positivity into it, you're, generally speaking, going to get positivity out of it.

So where today can you infuse that little mantra? Can you put it on your phone? Phone screen, the lock screen, a postit note on your mirror. Where you look at yourself every day to remind yourself that that's what you're going after, those random windfalls. So, until next time, you guys, we can't wait to hear about the windfalls that are coming into your life.
