There are a lot of results we want in life.
We want a certain candidate to win the election.
We want to reach specific goals in our career.
We want to live in a town, or kind of house, or in my case with a particular hunky blond guy.
We can visualize the results.
We can taste the results.
And we ideally want the path to go from where we are now, directly to that goal.
Here’s where the frustration comes in.
We want Google Maps instructions when all the while we are feathers in the wind.
Most of the time we don’t even have the correct target.
We think the result is an outcome, when what we are really longing for is a feeling.
We want our candidate to win so we feel safe.
We want a career goal, so we feel proud. Or financially safe.
We want to live with that hunky blond guy so we feel loved and cherished. And emotionally safe.
Not having a clear step towards what you want can feel unsafe.
But what would it look like if safety is you floating around on life’s breeze?
How can we embrace the floaty world?
How would life be different if you changed your expectations from living in a linear world to a world of flow?
