@SpaceAgeSage: I think it comes down to believing in our abilities. You can’t act upon what you don’t know is intimately there. If you don’t feel worthy enough, you lack an understanding of what’s truly there.

@ Natural: I do think a steady focus in a positive direction can be very helpful.

@ Harmony: Glad you found this article helpful.

Bamboo Forest,
Your thoughts are provoking for sure. Awareness reminds me of looking at 3D pictures…all of a sudden, the perspective changes and you no longer see things the same. Thanks

Nice illustration.

Bamboo, this is such an inspiring post! I really needed to read this today. It really stirred my heart – I think that’s stumble-worthy!!!

I find myself asking question no. 3 all the time. what will it take for me to get there. maybe i SHOULD keep that question with me at all times. this does make sense to me. if that question is always before me, my actions should reflect the answer.

I agree with Ari in that sometimes there are things holding us back, be they not giving ourselves permission, believing in a false sense of inadequacy, not feeling worthy enough, self sabotage from fear of success or failure, etc. Awareness of those helps us address them and move on to the top. I have also found the awareness levels in the Enneagram personality types very helpful in moving me forward.

@ Ari: That is a good application of awareness.

@ Tabbie: Glad it was of value.

@ Gator: Hey, that’s a good choice!

@ Marelisa: That’s a good illustration. I do think the degree we want something is very important. There is no magic wand to make it easy.

Hi Bamboo: This reminds me of the Silva Mind Control course I took many years ago. The instructor told us to hold our breaths for as long as we could, and then he said: “Do you know when you’ll get what you want? When you want it as badly as you wanted to take a breath just now”. It’s so true that we need to put our focus on what we want.
