Allowing
Okay, we are told to set goals. In setting those goals, we begin a journey. And as we travel down that path to our goal, we work toward it. We do what we can to make it come about. After all we are told that if we want something, we have to make it happen. And yes, that is very true. We make it happen by putting in the required time, and study, and work so we can achieve what we set out to do. The problem with making it happen is all too often, we force it to happen (ignore Star Wars quote that would have gone here).
Patience is in limited supply nowadays. Everyone is rushing this way and that. But we have to learn patience. We have to take the time that we need to acquire the knowledge and skills to reach a goal. But we are impatient. We want that thing now. So we push and force it to happen before it should, and in doing so, we see that what we got was not what we wanted, was something less than what we had hoped for. You see, the universe moves at its own pace. Things have to happen in a certain way to be right. That takes time, effort, and allowing what you want to come into its own in the fullness that you want it.
If we force things, they come, but they don’t fit quite right. There is usually something missing, some key element that makes it not perfect, like landing the job of your dreams and finding out it was not what you expected. It is possible to fit that round peg in the square hole, but it is not the perfect fit.
By visualizing what we want, and putting positive thought into it, we create the opportunity for that to happen. We bring it into existence. By putting it out there and allowing it to manifest, we make it happen. If we rush, take shortcuts, we may force something into place that is not complete. It is like making soup. Soup takes time to simmer, to allow the ingredients to absorb all the flavors so it tastes perfect. If we cut that time, it might be all right, but it will not be perfect.
Make that extra time. Take that extra step. And allow things to come in with the richness and fullness you expect. Allow it to happen.
