Unconditional joy

Dear Shanda, 

The minute you set a goal and then attach to the outcome - telling yourself you have failed if you don't achieve it - you give away your power to create unconditional joy in your life. You’re better off setting goals - and then releasing attachment to outcomes - trusting that some things just want to happen because they're for the highest good of all beings, and if those things are meant to manifest, they will. 

Yes, it’s good to have goals and dreams and visions and missions. But once you put your dreams out there, release them like butterflies so they can have their way with the world. 

You can never fully know what the Universe has in store for you. Sometimes you ask for a Pinto and the Universe is trying to give you a Rolls Royce. Yet if you fail to get the Pinto, you get disappointed. You feel like you failed. When really, the Rolls Royce is right around the corner. 

Can you set goals but release attachment to outcomes? Can you trust in The Way, instead of clinging to Your Way? Can you find joy even when things don't go as you hoped? 

Trust me. I’ll help. 

Illuminating the way, 
Your Inner Pilot Light
