DO
YOU REALLY WANT IT?
Nothing happens until you are willing. The
willingness will open the door to the ability to create what you desire.
How to become willing? You have to really want what
you say you want. You have to want what you want enough in order to be
willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.
For example, our sweet dog has been having chronic
allergies, and something has been going on in her back causing severe
pain. My husband and I really want her to feel better. Really.
In the process of inquiry as to what we could do to
help I was referred to the Chi Institute in Florida for a recommendation
for a vet who practices quality acupuncture. We were referred to a vet who
is located 30 miles from our home.
When making the appointment I discover a 30 mile
trip is now a drive to Indiana as she only sees dogs in her Indiana
clinic. 80 miles later we are taking our dog to see this vet.
Why? Because we love to drive to Indiana?
Ah, noooooo.
Because we wanted to be in the car for an hour and a
half, to talk to the vet for an hour, lie on the floor with the dog for
another hour, and then to get back into the car and drive for another hour
an a half?
No to that as well.
Then why?
Because we ReALLy wanted her to feel better. And we
were willing to do what it took to make that happen.
The good news is she is feeling better.
We still will be going back for another treatment,
because she is feeling better, just not all better. We'll be back in
Indiana, because we really want what we want and we're willing to do what
it takes to make it happen.
When we choose to consciously change, we are
breaking free of the gravitational force field of that which we have
already set in motion. It takes a lot to break free and head off in a new
direction. You have to really want it. You have to want it at the level
that will inspire you to invest the time, energy, resources, attention,
intention to make what you want happen.
So if you don't have what you say you want, ask
yourself:
1) Do I really want it?
2) Am I willing to do what it takes to make what I
want happen?
If so, great. Define your vision, create a plan and
take action. If not, great too. Now you can let go of telling yourself you
want what you really don't want. You will free yourself up to invest in
something you really, REALLy want.
