"You'll go wherever you look."
I believe in this wholeheartedly. In all of life. In almost any situation. I have found that when I have a task to accomplish, especially something I've never done before, I look at the goal, the finished "product" and then think of the major things that need to be done. Example: To sell my house to split the equity in my divorce, there was a HUGE picture window that needed to be replaced because of dry rot. Have I ever done that before? Nope. But in my mind I saw what it should look like when finished. I knew the big steps that needed to be done, but was clueless on the little individual ones. I knew that first, I had to tear out the old one, glass first, then the wood. I knew I had to put in the new one, wood first, glass last. And...I started. It was definitely a journey.. But as the days went by, I filled in the blanks between each of those three goals, making some mistakes, but always moving, thinking. Even subconsciously of what the next incremental step had to be. Even filling in future steps based off of what I was doing at the moment. It turned out better than the original, the house sold for more, and the divorce went thru. Mission accomplished!
My point... I've found that when I have a goal in mind, even a huge one that I don't even think is possible because of where I am. Like being in a loving, happy relationship with someone who loves me, desires me, and wants the same from me. I have no clue of each and every individual step I need to take to achieve that. But I know the biggies. And because I want it, I steer my way in the direction of that goal. Even subconsciously. Sometimes inadvertently. My thoughts are on the goal, and my mind drifts me in the direction of it, little by little. Step by step. It's just on my mind and.....it happens. It turns out it IS possible. Mostly because I subconsciously made little decisions, little changes in myself and my life that got me sequentially closer and closer to each of the big steps where the next big one didn't look so scary, so intimidating. Until finally the goal is in sight, and it doesn't look impossible anymore. It's just the the next big step from the last one. A selffufilling prophecy.
You'll go wherever you look.
The mind can take you wherever you dream.
Ref. See shamwow 's law.....Life's simple....
True. Life is simple. It is also hard at times. Those are not contradictory statements.
However in my case with the picture window I woukd have had to just torch the house for the insurance money. I'm not very good with tools (still have the scars from putting a power drill into my hand... With a frighteningly large bit).
