“When you set your target on a goal by pointing in one direction to an end-point, you easily LOOSE SIGHT of the overall picture along the way.
2020 is about using your precious second sight.
Intuition and perception are awakening within you at a more profound level.” – by Tania Gabrielle
Usually we find ourselves either at the end or at the beginning of the year setting goals or making resolutions for the new year, or the new decade as it’s the case this time. But somehow that was not sitting well with me.
I got one of these viruses going on right before Thanksgiving and spent the entire December fighting it. It was gnarly, I’ll tell yah. On the other hand it gave me a lot of time to think and be within. Enough time to realize I had to slow down and pay more attention to what I really aspire to and how I want to feel and do things on my day by day.
So when I received this e-mail from Tania Gabrielle, an astrologer and numerologist I follow, she helped me express these new ideas and feelings I was having. We are talking about not being so concerned about reaching a finish line but enjoying the process to get there. Like the old saying “it’s all about the journey and not the destination”. Tania’s words:
Internal desire is NOT fueled by your expectations of what you’ll GET (your goal).
Internal desire is enlivened by joyful engagement.
Your excitement to live a beautiful, intense, passionate, significant life is the fuel that sustains you all day.
She continues by saying “It’s not that you cannot set a goal to give you something to aspire to, but it is far more effective to be consciously engaged in what you are doing. (…) Nobody has achieved anything of profound value without being utterly devoted to what they are doing.“
So I want to do what inspires me from within. At this moment. Maybe in 3 or 6 months I might feel different and will course correct my path. It’s okay. As long as I’m connected with what brings me joy and motivation I know I’ll be devoted to it. “Significant achievements only arise from significant devotion.“
Coincidentally (aha! I don’t believe in coincidences!) I just finished reading Wishes Fulfilled by Dr Wayne Dyer and a lot of what he’s saying and suggesting for us to live a life with wishes fulfilled is very similar to Tania’s idea of being constantly engaged with joy, love, creativity, passion and determination.
So, she says, “what to do if you don’t use the old paradigm of goal-setting?
2020 asks you to TRUST.
Trust in the PROCESS. Trust in Divine timing.
Trust in your innate ability to grow, thrive, change, perceive and transform.”
And that’s my wish for you this year, dear reader. 💖
