Here is an edited version of something I wrote to a young person who seemed to lack direction.
I felt there might be some bits that could help others. ENJOY!


I think that you really must find out what it is you want in life. It will always be difficult going through life if you keep changing your goals or desires on a daily basis. What you want in the future does not have to be crystal clear straight away, but you should have a format of ideas and things that you would like to aspire to. If you have absolutely no idea of what you eventually want you will just wander around aimlessly for ever. The funny thing is that once you focus on something all other things will align to make it happen. The reason you keep getting
depressed is that the thing never has a chance to manifest, because you keep changing your mind, and the universe gets confused. Trust me the universe wants you to have ALL you desire, but it cannot get a grip on things if you do not know what you want.

You will learn that day to day life is about planning. The reason you have not got a job is that in your mind you have no idea what you are going to do. It does not matter what your plan is, as long as you have a plan. Having a plan is very relaxing because every decision you make is in the furtherance of that idea. That means that when you make decisions you decide easily because you only have to say, "Do they fit in with my plan?"

Sometimes 'you' have to change a plan to make a decision. Do you see the problem here? Things are back to front and will never work out.


Remember the universe gives you more of what you concentrate on. If you have no plan, are depressed and feel sorry for yourself, that is exactly what you will attract.

However in a heartbeat, if you truly concentrate on what you want to do, the universe will immediately set things in motion to get you to your destination. The secret is that you MUST be firm in your desire and keep focusing. Every time you change your mind the universe has to make adjustments and that will appear as things not happening.

Think of it as planting a seed. We plant it and know that it is growing although for the first few weeks we cannot see it. Eventually it pops through the surface and there is the brand new plant. That happens with out any effort from us because we just accept that is what happens. If we keep digging it up[ changing our mind ]to see if anything is happening, then every time we dig it up, it stops growing and eventually it will die.

Imagine your plan as planting a seed and just trust that it will happen. The action you need to take on your part is the same as watering and fertilising the plant. How much you fertilise and water your plan, will determine how successful your plan will be. Your plan will still work as long as you really want it to, but without the fertiliser and water it will not be as good as it could be.

My suggestion to you is to sit down and really try and find what you want to do, because at this point you really need some motivation to create some positive energy. Once you have made a plan, any plan, things will immediately
change.

I hope this all makes sense to you and that it helps you to get some direction into your life. Remember the feelings you have now go with you, so unless you start off happy, you cannot arrive happy, because you carry your feelings with you everywhere you go. It makes sense then to make yourself as happy as possible. Happiness is a state of mind and is obtained usually because you have a plan. Do you see how everything is linked?

Corz,

Thank you for your excellent advice. Again, the law of synchronicity is in action because as you were writing and posting this message, I was working on thinking about what I really want.

Don't I know that by now?

Well, yes, kind of. But I want to have a stronger focus on what I want and I want to get rid of indecision.

I want to add to your post, it is so important to write it down. I just found, that simply by writing it down, I saw that I was still focusing on a too small wish. Do I not want this dream home that I was describing? Of course I do. But what I really want and desire and with strong feelings and emotions, is to be financially free.

I would not have known that if I had not gone through writing down my ideal.

Croz, thanks for your thoughts, even an older person like me can use a refresher too. Even though I have heard it before, hearing it from your words opened to what has been missing.

In certain areas of my life, I have plans - but then in other areas instead of building a plan, I have my mind fixed on the "HOW", How will this get done, How do I do this?

Trying to look at this from a 'young person's' perspective. I was young, once upon a time, and was so mis-directed, my Mom tried so much to show me that it was important to have a variety of interests, to always try something different, experience generates preferences and discoveries. I chose to rebel against her in order to "find my own way". In this I didn't expand myself and in my adult years I was still 'stuck' in what I wanted to do and remained mis-directed.

If someone can get through to a 'young person' who has this attitude of "I can do it myself" then all the power to them.

Nice post croz and more food for thought.

Good reminder Croz, good advise no matter what age we are.

I forgot who said this "People don't plan to fail but fail to plan"

Be good to yourself and expect success!!

croz, I am coming to you for your excellent tutelage.

I wrote my targets, but I am not sure if these are considered as my plans. Could you help clarify what the difference is? And which is more the means for my CMI? Thanks.
