If you\u2019re worried about making it pay off, it won\u2019t pay off. If you\u2019re consumed with the fear that you\u2019re wasting your time, then you are indeed wasting your time.<\/p>\n
When you try to force your efforts to get results, you end up pushing those results away. Why is that? It\u2019s simple. By very definition, whatever you need, you don\u2019t have. So when you put your energy into needing, you are directing your energy away from having. By desperately needing a particular outcome, you\u2019re practically guaranteeing that you do not achieve that outcome.<\/p>\n
So how do you get beyond the need to need? How to you direct your focus away from the fear of failure?<\/p>\n
Begin with gratitude. Be thankful and downright thrilled for the opportunity to be in the moment and to be doing what you\u2019re doing. Instead of wishing and hoping and needing some particular outcome, celebrate the experience of making something happen, whatever that something turns out to be.<\/p>\n
Then, focus on your performance and execution, and on the rhythm and flow of what you\u2019re doing. Concern yourself with doing your very best in each moment, and allow yourself to feel the fulfillment that the effort itself brings. Consider how miraculous and amazing it is that you can express yourself and make a difference. The outcome is in a future that does not exist, so right now that outcome really has no meaning. What does have meaning is the experience of living and the experience of this part of your journey.<\/p>\n
By all means, live with the very highest of intentions and expectations. But don\u2019t let yourself be pulled down by need and desperation. Find real joy and fulfillment right where you are, for that\u2019s precisely what will ensure that you get where you have chosen to go.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
