To plan or not to plan

To plan some aspects of our daily life is something not only quite normal, but also necessary for everyone of us. In other words,we can set up a schedule for the day, dream big dreams, design projects for the future and keep paying bills in order to maintain a certain level of comfortable life. In this process, we use all kind of tricks, stratetegies and techniques such as meditation, visualization, mantras, mental images, repetition and so on, in order to manifest our desires and make our dreams come true. However, these plans should not be considered as definite or absolute, but just as requests or suggestions presented to God without any sort of attachment, the Infinite Intelligence, to Whom the last word belongs and Who knows more than ourselves what is better for us in the present moment. If we are convinced of that, we would no longer manifest any sort of resistance, frustration, worry, anxiety or fear when things seem to not work the way we expect them to. Because doing so would simply mean we have strong attachment to the end result which, anyway,is not the end of anything at all, and believe that we are the doer. This, of course, is a big mistake because results are not our responsibility but God's, the only One in charge. Human being should understand that God, the Infinite Intelligence, which is All That Is, Is also the One willing to express Himself through us, His channels of communication and expression. This, has nothing to do with our petty egos. But, When we start personalizing this process and believe life is about us, that is where confusion and resistance begin, in the form of doubt,frustration,worry,anxiety or fear, followed by all kind of problems and difficulties. Once and for all, we must understand, as someone said, that "life is not about us, but about life itself". And, with this understanding come clarity and relief. Also, we start allowing life to flow easily through us, instead of opposing resistance against it. Think about it and... ...Stay synchronized.

The pleasure behind scarcity

In some african regions, especially in Central Africa, grows a kind of shrub whose red fruits are very much appreciated by birds of various species. However, beside loving those fruits, it seems that birds appreciate something else; the search for the search itself, for the pleasure or the fun it provides.

That is, they don't like an abundance of mature and delicious fruits, ready to be eaten, be exposed to them. What they prefer is spending time themselves searching for the good ones, using their beak, until they find and eat them with appetite. Isn't it curious to realize that instead of abundance, those birds choose scarcity?

Sometimes, certain shrubs make their fruits hatch almost all at once, turning all the branches almost into red. When this occurs, instead of rushing on such a chance and fussing around to gulp down as much fruits as they can to feed themselves till death, they avoid these shrubs and fly away; all of them ,witout exception.

Do you think that birds are the only creatures that behave like that? Not at all; even human beings do the same. Is it that the easy way does no procure as much satisfaction as the hard way? Why does what is obtained easily and without effort seem to loose its value and interest?

You can verify this in some loving relationships. For example, meeting a new person is always very exciting.   But, after a while, this excitement falls down on one side or another, when one of the two partners starts manifesting too much love for the other.

At the beginning, it's very satisfying for the ego. But, in time, it can become very ennoying for certain people who no longer look at their partner as they used to do at the beginning of their relationship. Of course, they may still love them, and consider them as an important part of their life.

However, the excitement of the first days of their relationship has vanished, no matter the number of good qualities one could have. As a result, the partner who has lost his or her excitement starts looking outside, to search  new vibrations in someone else.

Why is that? Why, instead of attracting or retaining, too much love, too much abundance, too much stuff, too much success or too much fame make us feel that way? Could it be that getting "too much" of something generates boredom and reduces our interest in certain things?

However, almost everybody would like  to get all they want in life, but not realizing the danger behind it. If you had everything you want, which is by the way impossible in this three dimentional world, for what reason would you keep living on this planet?

Remember, abundance is not what you really want, and you don't really want the outcome either. What you are really looking for, is the state excitement you achieve before the end result, or the manifestation of your desire.

What you are really looking for in any activity you are engaged in, is the fun or pleasure it provides you, and not the end result which is the death of your enthusiasm and your motivation. An old saying goes like this: "the pleasure is in the journey, and not in the destination; in the hunting, and not in the game".

That means, whatever you do, look first for the pleasure and the fun it can provide you, not the outcome. Release any attachment you could have to the end result, and let it take care of itself. Also, understand that in any entreprise lies a diamond, which is the satisfaction, the pleasure or the fun you can find in it.

Your task is to search and find it!

Details are not your business

When you have an objective in mind, don't worry about details. They are not your business. Focus only on the end result. It's your part. The how and when are the domain of the universe. So, don't jam the creative process by being concerned about how you will get there.
