Wishful
thinking - The fulfilment of Desire
If
there were such things as fairy godmothers and wishes that
were granted magically, then maybe, just maybe, life would
be different. So pretend for a minute or two that you live
in a world of wishes and fairies and you have been told that
you can have one wish granted - but this wish has conditions.
Your
wish has to be for a change in what you do for a living. You
will be given three times the income you have now (index-linked
naturally), you will be given any money you need to spend
in order for your new livelihood to be effective for you,
so your new salary will not be reduced by business-related
expenses. You cannot fail in whatever you choose to do. Any
skills or knowledge you require will be yours for the asking.
Any fears or anxieties - such as public speaking, or flying
- will disappear. Everything in fact will be just as you wish
it to be.
So what would you choose to do?
This
wish is only valid for 24 hours.
I
have some questions for you (and if you'd like to take this
seriously and e-mail me the answers that would be great. Let
me know also if it's okay to use what you tell me, without
identifying you as the source, in future articles or books.)
1.
Would you take up this offer, or would you let it expire?
2. What is it that you do right now for a living?
3. What would you choose to do?
4. What stops you from doing that right now?
5. How old are you?
6. Are you male or female?
7. Whereabouts do you live? (not your address, just the part
of the world)
8. Did you enjoy this exercise?

Now
I hope you've answered the questions before continuing to
read.
Unfortunately,
it seems, we don't live in a world of fairies and wishes.
But it's nice to dream, it's nice to have a rich fantasy world.
Did you know that the inventor of the automatic sewing machine,
Elias Howe, couldn't find a way to make a machine sew until
he had a dream about being attacked by savages with spears
with holes in the tip? When he awoke from this dream he realised
that this was what would make his 'dream' work and he put
the hole for the thread in the tip of the needle rather than
the other end where it usually was.
He
wanted to do something that others said was impossible. He
wanted to do something that he couldn't find a way to do.
But his desire didn't accept the impossibility and it communicated
a solution that consciously he couldn't see.
His
solution magically arrived because he was totally focused
on what he desired to achieve.
If
we focus our Power things happen magically.
It's
nice to let your mind wander about all the wonderful things,
and people, you'd like to have in your life, the home you
desire, the family, the friends, the lover… but there's
something a little scary about fantasising and then have that
fantasy realised within hours of imagining it.
Our
power scares us.
Marianne
Williamson, author of Return to Love, says " Our deepest
fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond measure. It's our light, not our darkness,
that most frightens us."
Because
our Power scares us we keep it at arms length. We defend ourselves
against having exactly what we want. And we do it to keep
ourselves safe, and we do it to make sure other people continue
to like us.
How
do you feel about people who have everything they want in
life and whenever they want anything new it just sort of appears?
If you aren't aware of anyone who has a life like that, seriously
imagine it, then look at your life and see if you're ok, or
you feel some emotional reaction like jealousy, or dislike,
or sadness, or even a feeling that good fortune is for others,
but not for you.
You
aren't doing what fulfils you because you don't believe you
deserve it. And I don't mean believe it at a superficial level,
I mean believe it deep down right to the very bottom of your
subconscious experience of your world. Someone somewhere will
have caused you to believe that you don't deserve, or that
it isn't ok, to have whatever your heart desires. You may
have been taught that life is tough, not easy. You may have
been taught that money doesn't grow on trees. You may have
been taught that to have everything you want makes you greedy
or selfish or unlovable.
None
of that is true.
It's
time to recognise the untruths you were taught about you and
your world for what they are - the mistaken perceptions of
those who were fearful of coming face to face with their own
beauty; that is, the beauty of one who was born to love and
to enjoy life and to feel fulfilled.
That
person was YOU.
