    Hi Kathy,

    What you describe reflects my own experience. Holding the intention of your vision is very important, but that’s not enough.

    The four key steps you outlined were very helpful:
    1) Step back
    2) Let go
    3) Say yes
    4) Take aligned action.

    I am reminded of the joke about the guy who prayed to God every night that he should win the lottery. After months of praying with no results, he went to a mountain top and yelled to the heavens that praying was worthless. To his surprise, a booming voice came down from the heavens saying, “Do me a favor and buy a lottery ticket.”
