MANY PEOPLE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THROUGH IMAGINATION, MENTAL IMAGERY, POSITIVE EXPECTATIONS, POSITIVE SELF TALK, FORCE OF WILL, AND PLAIN OLE JUST WANTING SOMETHING BADLY ENOUGH, THE UNIVERSE WILL PROVIDE IT FOR THEM. OF NOTE, SOME, BUT NOT ALL, BELIEVERS TOUT THAT NO ACTUAL WORK TOWARD THESE GOALS IS NEEDED. THE UNIVERSE WILL PROVIDE.

FEAR, INDECISION, INDECISIVENESS, ANXIETY, INEXPERIENCE, AND LACK OF BEING ABLE TO PROJECT POSITIVE OUTCOMES, ALL CONTRIBUTE TO PROCRASTINATION AS WELL AS TO SLOWED AND CONFUSED MENTAL AND PHYSICAL PROGRESS TOWARDS A GOAL. Date February 2, 2022 In relation to and decision IT IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY TRUE THAT ONCE ONE STOPS HAVING A NEGATIVE SELF-IMAGE AND NEGATIVE SELF-TALK, THAT WHAT FOLLOW ARE ONLY UPLIFTING POSITIVES. OFTEN, INSTEAD OF FINALLY EXPERIENCING THE UNDEVELOPED POSITIVE SELF-IMAGE, AND POSITIVE SELF-TALK, THERE IS NOTHING…NO SENSE OF SELF, NO SENSE OF JOY, OF PURPOSE, OF GOALS, OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS, OF SPIRITUALITY, OR OF COMMUNITY. THERE IS ONLY EMPTINESS. TO MOST OF US, THIS EMPTINESS IS MORE LONELY AND MORE FRIGHTENING THAN ANY NEGATIVE SELF-IMAGE OR ANY NEGATIVE SELF-TALK. Date July 2, 2022 In relation to emptiness SAILING ACROSS A SMALL LAKE IS DIFFERENT THAN SAILING ACROSS THE OCEAN. IT’S NOT JUST THE DISTANCE, TIME, OR RISK, BUT THE RELIANCE ON THE SIGHTING OF A PHYSICAL GOAL VERSUS GUIDING BY A MENTAL GOAL…THE ABILITY TO VISUALIZE WHAT IS NOT NEAR OR IMMEDIATELY APPARENT. WE ARE IN A SPECIAL PLACE, WHEN WE HAVE A SENSE OF HOPE, ADVENTURE, AND PERSEVERANCE, EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOTHING TO ASSURE US THAT WE ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH, AND NOTHING VISIBLE TO DRAW US FORWARD.
