The Fastest Way to Get What You Desire

In my writing and work I like to talk a lot about creating your dream life. Changing your mindset, identifying what you want, and taking action.A lot of the work involves step by step plans, daily rituals and even mental exercises.While most people can easily follow a detailed plan and check in with a coach, I think it is important to emphasize the most crucial step through this all.The one thing that will get you what you want, and fast.The thing that I took a while to realize I needed throughout my journey.It all had to do with one simple mindset shift, but was one of the toughest changes to make.And that one change was this: being open to whatever comes my way.This does not mean throwing out your goals or desires.Creating what you want still requires you to take action and work everyday towards it.But you will have to detach yourself from whatever the outcome will look like.The universe already has plans in place for you and it's just waiting for you to find what makes you feel happy.However, the thing you want probably won't look exactly how you envision. Or it may not show up at exactly the time you want.Let's take finding a romantic partner for example.You first set out by identifying that you desire a relationship with a person that complements your life.You write all the traits you desire, picture how that person will act and the things you'll do together.So then you start taking the action towards this goal. You go on more dates, try a new meet-up or hobby, let your friends know you are looking and so on.While you are taking the action you are also changing your mindset and letting go of the blocks against love.This is all great! You are following the right order and you can start to feel yourself feeling better.But as a couple months go along, you realize you aren't really getting anywhere. Or maybe even a year passes with no promising dates.Well what was missing through all this being open to whatever manifests.Maybe you are holding on too tightly to exactly what this person will look like. Height, eye color, hair color, income, apartment, etc.What you don't realize is that by being so specific on the outcome, you close yourself off to all the options presented for you.You could have went on a fun date with a guy but he didn't meet your physical requirements so you were onto the next.But what if he could of been the person you were waiting for?This is the problem I see with manifesting or people saying that this stuff doesn't work.They think that if they list out exactly what they want down to the very last detail it will just show up. Rather than focusing on how they want to feel, they focus on the physical manifestation.Many times in my life I have gone after what I want, and it turned out to be very different from what I expected.But then I realized a little bit down the road that it was exactly what I needed. That it made me happier than I have ever been.Once I made the shift to remain open and curious to what was coming my way, my entire outlook changed.What I desired was coming to me faster than I could keep up with!So my goal now is to live everyday as if something unexpectedly wonderful was in store for me. Like around every corner I could find a miracle.And you know what? I did indeed start to find them.
