Better Late Than Never
One of my 2007 goals was to travel through Asia. It has just manifested – albeit two weeks into 2008.
Today, I met with Roger James Hamilton, author and creator of Wealth Dynamics. Roger asked be if I would be interested in going on a speaking tour of Asia in March to promote the XL Results Foundation – a foundation of entrepreneurs dedicated to giving back. As a Life Member of this extraordinary foundation, I was thrilled at the opportunity to share it with others.
When I asked him where he had in mind, he replied “Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and India!”
I tried to conceal my delight and blurted out “Look no further. You have found the man for the job!”
Minutes later, I was marveling at how the Universe delivers my intentions to me as soon as I let go of them. Over and over, this principle has proven itself to me.
So how does this concept of letting go work? In order to explain this, I am going to have to get a little metaphysical on you…
See, when I created my 2008 goals, I reviewed my 2007 goals. Rather than just transfer my unfulfilled 2007 goals to 2008, I decided to let go of most of them. Its not that I no longer wanted them to happen, its just that I was no longer attached to them happening.
In letting go of them, I was no longer wondering how or when they were going to come about. Said in another way, I left the Universe alone to bring about the opportunities for me to get my goals. I cannot stress the power of this enough. If you can let go of having to have your goals manifest, your chances of achieving them are so much higher.
I know it seems counter intuitive to set goals and let go of them, but try it and you will see that it works. In letting go of your goal, you are not dismissing it, but rather, trusting that it is on its way to you – so much so that you can let go of it. Am I making sense?
A common mistake people make is confusing letting go with not doing anything. Letting go does not mean that you do not act on your goal. Quite the opposite. It means that you act without being attached to that action producing your desired outcome.
Here is an easy way to tell if you are authentically unattached to your goals. If you can honestly say to yourself that you would be perfectly happy whether or not your goal manifested, then you have probably let go.
So, perhaps you want to take a look at your goals for 2008 and do whatever you need to do to get yourself to the point where you are unattached to your goals. Then, watch them effortlessly unfold in front of you.
Till next time, have a miraculous day…
