Making Belief, Embracing Bliss

Remember the first step in doing anything is the belief in its possibility.  Without this step, you will never do anything that is worth doing.  If this seems insurmountable, do not worry.  This like all tasks may be broken down into bite size pieces making them easier to swallow.  Its all about breaking a goal down to the smallest pieces you can believe in.  The idea of getting 1,000 dollars (for example) may be difficult, but the idea of getting 5 dollars is easy.  The idea of getting 5 dollars a day, seems pretty reasonable as well.  Having  500 dollars after 100 days may therefore seem reasonable, and 1,000 after 200.  (Follow this out and its amazing what you can accomplish!)  
I would advise everyone to set their goals for emotional outcomes IE to feel good, to feel fulfilled, and be loose about how we get there.  But at the end of the day, accomplishment is simply the ability to find the way to believe in something and execute that belief.


Another way that this idea functions has to do with reducing something to the simplest desire.  For example I want to have the love of my life may be emotionally overwhelming and hard to believe.  immediately our own insecurities pop up and jump horribly in our way.  "Am I good enough?" is anyone else good enough?


But i find it useful to de-dramatise and simplify what is wanted, for example.  "I want to find someone profoundly and personally spiritually engaging, and have them return the feeling.  Somehow isn't this easier to believe in?  What's the difference one is loaded with all kinds of assumptions (we may not realize we have) that come from all kinds of places other than our actual hearts or selves, and in the end it is all these little things and assumptions that get in the way and sabotage our road to happiness.


Put simply everything that is actually desirable is in reach.

I release expectations and open to my bliss, step by step and in its essential.  I give gratitude to all the universe for the Joy I exist in every day.
