Ironic

Inspired by Alanis Morissette’s Ironic.

Let’s look at the words;

Hey, I, I
Yeah, ah, ah
Yeah, I


An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late


And isn't it ironic, don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures


Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down, he thought
"Well, isn't this nice"


And isn't it ironic, don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures


Well, life has a funny way
Of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay
And everything's going right
And life has a funny way
Of helping you out


When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A "no smoking" sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife

And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid

It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures


And yeah, well, life has a funny way
Of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way
Of helping you out
Helping you out


So this got me to thinking. Do you think that the things that happen in life are fate, that they are destined to happen? Or are you the creator and by virtue of how you show up in the world, you are creating what shows up for you in the world?

Well as a graduate of the landmark forum, I think that when you manifest something and visualise what you want for your life, it is essentially like the Alanis Morissette song, everything that is NOT what you want shows up, its just part of the journey. Then the minute you stop wishing on what it is that you want like a pipe dream and it begins to become part of just who you are, something else becomes available and something else arises.

Today, the song wasn't playing by coincidence in my waiting room. I heard it and I made it mean that it was playing for me, at the right time of my arrival to that waiting room. That song is from my angry teenager years and while, I didn't receive the message back then, today, the parts of the song that reached out to me were "life has a funny, funny way of helping you out. Helping you out." In other words, if you are willing to look for it, life will unfold for you in your favour.

    Hi my name is Angela. I have loved writing since I was able to hold a pencil in my hand. I soon learnt I had a gift of connecting with my ancestors through writing before my 30th birthday.

    I self published a book (A family of shopkeepers - via blurb) about my ancestry, the result of a project to unite family here and gone through their memories and stories of my ancestors. It is hard to explain but I felt their presence through this journey and I continue to.

    In Feb 2020, I found this online business learning platform through my mum. With her never-ending guidance and support, I discovered more of my purpose in life.

    Everything I wanted was inside of me the whole time. I just needed someone to point the microscope at me and tell me the gold is within and create the context for me through the learning platform, through the collaborative community, through mentorship, guidance, coaching and transparent leadership.

    The reason I share is because part of my finding myself was also realising I see the gold in others. And in seeing the gold in others I have the capacity to empower others to discover what they want for themselves and their lives.

    If you want to find out more about the learning platform that can do the same for you, just reach out at one or any of the links.

    ​I was looking for mentorship and personal growth and I found it in an unlikely place called "building an online business from scratch."
