I’m not very goal oriented. Chasing a new stick or the same stick doesn’t energize me…at all…I find it to be very stressful…
When I was younger I chased sticks…like I was possessed…it was what you were “supposed” to do if you were going to BE SOMEBODY…
As I grew older…I realized NOBODY who desperately wanted to be somebody… felt like somebody (for very long)…so who the heck was I trying to impress?
I realized the “way out” was to stop trying to “be somebody” and just be happy being me…I am ALREADY somebody…(The world becomes a friendly place.)
So did I just curl up and become an unproductive lump with drool rolling down my chin?
No! Thank goodness… an amazing transition occurred for me. I discovered my “inner drive” call it destiny, your mission, soul purpose etc…
In short I became “feeling” and “fuzzy vision” oriented…kind of like finding your way through fog with a compass…I discovered happiness was less about the path and “obstacles” and more about the “traveler” and how he/she packs for the trip.
Specific Strategies Which Have Really Helped Me…1. Use the path and EVERYTHING I encounter as “tools” to help me, give me an advantage and make me stronger. There is no “bad” only “good”. In a word this is “Resourcefulness” which IMO is the key ingredient to a happy, fruitful and abundant life. Strengthen this ability and you worry less, live and love more.How?Always be asking…How can I use this to my advantage. List 3 ways…
Specific Strategies Which Have Really Helped Me…2. CREATE and INCREASE VALUE: Constantly be focused on CREATING VALUE in all your relationships with people…versus focusing on how much money you have saved up for retirement, how much respect your wife/husband is giving you, how you can make your kids listen…etc.IMO this is not the way to live. It CREATES FEAR. It’s backwards…What do you get when you spell L-I-V-E backwards? Anything that can be taken from me can never bring me lasting peace, my confidence to create and increase value in others lives IS everlasting…
Specific Strategies Which Have Really Helped Me…3. When I want a “thing” physical or otherwise, I don’t “visualize” or “manifest” or “set goals” anymore…what’s really worked AMAZINGLY well and faster for me is figuring out “How I must transform to be the person who has _____________.” WARNING: Watch your motives…don’t do it to be somebody in someone else’s opinion.What’s more is I’ve discovered the “things” I get stay around longer. (Housing debacle)Examples: Weight Loss, Better Relationship With Jeannie, Purchasing a Home
My Recap…I stopped trying to “be somebody” long enough I could actually “hear” my own “calling” and desires.This led me to the realization that the world was FOR ME and not against me…1. I began to use everything life threw at me as my personal stepping stone, tool or advantage. Life stopped being so scary and I started to have fun and WANTED to give. I am always asking “How Can I USE This To My Advantage?”2. With a spirit of giving I realized creating value and increasing my value was the true path (for me) to peace and prosperity.3. Answering… Who do I have to become to have _____________? And then working on my behavior and habits to become that person has brought me more joy and “stuff” than I ever dreamed of…or wanted to begin with…
