![]() ![]() I don’t normally chase after goals till I’m hungry for them. As your hunger or desire builds, you’ll be able to order something more specific, just as you’re able to eventually figure out what to eat for each meal. This connects nicely with creating a life that you’ll appreciate too. Just set the intention to discover a fresh goal or direction that you’ll appreciate. That’s a good default decision when you’re not hungry yet, both for food and goals. And that’s good enough for that point in time. Consequently, my intention for dinner may not be very specific at that time, but I can still form the intention to have a dinner that I’ll enjoy and appreciate. When I’m not hungry, I don’t feel like eating, so it’s difficult to say what I might want to eat later. Sometimes Rachelle will ask me what I want for dinner when it’s still early afternoon, and I’m not actually hungry yet because we just had lunch. Just as you could set the intention to enjoy your next meal when you’re actually ready for it, you can hold the intention to invite a juicy and delicious goal to come into your life when you’re ready for it. Give your hunger some time to build up first. Instead of acting confused about what to do, just rest in the state of not being hungry for any fresh goals yet. Just rest in the state of being not hungry yet. There’s no need to evoke confusion.ĭon’t sit down at a table in a restaurant to order if you’re not ready and hungry for your next meal. It’s really a request to pause the flow of life, but if that’s what you want, just ask reality to pause. It’s not a mandatory or essential part of life. Since this pattern is so dreadful in terms of results, I suggest that you stop running it. ![]() So why would you ever want to behave like this with life or reality? Isn’t it always going to be self-defeating? How is this pattern ever really going to help you or anyone else? You wouldn’t want to frustrate a server at a restaurant by acting perpetually confused about what to order, would you? Of course not. It doesn’t know that it actually missed unless you say a firm no and give it some revised suggestions. If you take the bait of a partial match, reality assumes it scored a hit and gave you what you want. And it evaluates the accuracy of its guesses based on your responses (i.e. If you don’t tell reality what you want, it has to guess. But your confusion may not be letting much of that potential beauty come through, just as your confusion at a restaurant stunts the best efforts of the server and the cook to please you. Reality may try to be polite with you, but behind the scenes, consider that your confusion is actually annoying and frustrating reality. And it can behave as if it’s frustrated with you if you perpetually act confused, much like a server at a restaurant trying to hide their annoyance with an indecisive customer. Reality can be very accommodating when you’re clear about asking for what you want. If you make a stretch request, that’s not on the menu, they may at least try to deliver that too, or they’ll make suggestions based on how close they think they can get. For instance, you can tell a server at a restaurant what you want from the menu, and they will usually bring you exactly that. If you tell another person exactly what you want, the other person will often gladly deliver if your request seems reasonable. This doesn’t mean that reality will always deliver what we want, but it often will. When we bring clarity to our minds first, we can clearly communicate our desires to reality, and reality can see that we’re being honest and respond in kind. ![]() Even if reality could read our minds in such situations, it would only read confusion. It can’t read our minds and pull out some deeper level of clarity if our minds are confused. If we keep saying maybe to reality’s offers instead of serving up a firm yes or no, reality gets confused. One reason we sometimes drown in partial matches is that reality is trying to guess at what we want. With practice, you’ll often find yourself crafting nicely aligned intentions on the first try. Keep tweaking your intention till you feel satisfied with it, like you really feel that it’s yours. Then let it sink in and see how your body, mind, and feelings react to it.ĭoes your intention feel like a true expression of your desires? Does it feel a little off still? Do you like the internal reaction it creates within you? Does some part of you object, and if so, what’s the specific objection, and how could you resolve that? Just declare what you actually want in a sentence or two. Whenever you get confused, it’s often super helpful to pause and clarify your intentions. ![]()
