The answer is that it takes you to “I don’t know”. It’s not very comfortable at first to say that because we all like to think that we have all the answers and know where we’re going, but in truth, very few of us truly know anything at all. And that’s ok.

Having arrived at “I don’t know”, we are then free/open to the possibility of having a solution present itself. You may begin to have thoughts of exciting new possibilities that inspire you to try new things, take steps that you hadn’t previously considered, but it all start with allowing yourself to be “open to the possibility” of goodness to come to you. After all, all the abundance is still there, it’s just that a majority of people began to focus on the lack, instead of the abundance.

The bottom line is that you have a choice even though on the surface it seems that you don’t. The choice comes with being open to the possibilities that goodness CAN come to you regardless of what anyone else is going through. It all depends on what story you choose to tell yourself, and you do have the choice of telling yourself a story that feels great to you, if you just bring some awareness.

Tomorrow I’ll give you a summary of what’s been discussed here…

The “XY” principle is something that came to me recently and explains desire and achieving in a basic sense.

Firstly “X” is what you desire and “Y” is what’s required in order to have “X”, so if you want “X” then you need to do “Y”.

Let’s say you want a house (X), you think about the area you want it to be, how many bedrooms, the type of kitchen, the amount of land, etc. The thoughts fill you and you feel the inspiration. You begin doing research on the Internet to find it. You then find a couple of homes that look like they fit all the criteria and you go to the bank and sit with the manager to work out how much of a loan you can service and then go to look at the houses and put in an offer. All these steps that happened after the thoughts of your desire are your “Y”.

Now what you find when your desire fills you with enthusiasm, is that you FEEL INSPIRED to take steps. If the steps feel like a natural progression, it all flows beautifully but if you find yourself beginning to force yourself to do things because you think that that’s what’s required in order to get what you want, then you’re going down the path of struggle and most likely it’ll feel like you’re beating your head against a brick wall.

The most important part of this is getting in touch with the enthusiasm for the things you desire and see yourself already enjoying them in your mind, that’s the “X” at it’s most powerful. If thinking about your “X” doesn’t bring up feelings of joy, then it’s not really something you desire at a deep level, it’s just something you think would be nice at some point. Don’t waste your time with this, unless what you want is in fact struggle!

Despite what “realists” will tell you, life is supposed to be fun and joyful, so why not spend your time thinking about things that stir up this joy in you? When you feel yourself overflowing with joy, the action you take is super charged and it doesn’t feel like work to you, it simply feels like a natural progression to the next joyful moment. And remember that no matter where you find yourself (physically or emotionally) you do have the ability to reach for a thought that can give you relief if you’re not feeling so good right now.
