Happiness is what you experience on the journey towards your own goal on the path through your own door.
Movement towards someone else’s goal always places happiness in an illusory future. Achieving a goal that is not truly yours will bring disappointment and depletion but never happiness.
If you are making maximum effort to achieve your goal, but left feeling uninspired and fatigued either the goal is not meant for you, or you are banging on the wrong door.
If achieving the goal would mean that you could prove something either to yourself or to others then the goal is also misguided.
Caring for others is the mind’s way of compensating for spiritual emptiness leaving the heart’s needs unfulfilled. It is in the pendulums’ interests to pass up caring for others as compassionate altruism.
If the idea of needing to take care of others originates somewhere outside yourself, whatever the source, it represents a foreign goal.
There is only one way of finding your innermost goal which is to reduce importance, turn your back on pendulums and appeal to your heart; to love yourself first and foremost and to take care of yourself. This is the only way of finding the path to your own goal. The mind’s mistake is that it tries from the very outset to evaluate how realistically achievable the goal is and calculate in advance all the ways and means to achieve it.
By thinking about the means to achieve a goal you attune your thought energy to a life line of bad luck because it involves the mind running through all the potential scenarios of defeat.
Miracles only happen when you break the conventional stereotype by thinking about the goal rather than the means to achieve it.
Inner tension is an onerous feeling of oppression or strain that appears quietly amid the optimistic reasoning of the mind.
It is not the task of the mind to do the searching in your process of choosing a goal.
A moment will come when you will receive certain information that inspires your interest.
All the time that you are insisting on something, pressuring for something to happen, you are preventing outer intention from realizing your goal in harmony with the alternatives flow;
Give yourself permission to enjoy life and accept everything that comes to you as a gift. As soon as you feel a cloud forming over your holiday, try to discern where you have increased importance. What is it that is preying on your mind? There is a ready answer to this question: you are forcing yourself to do something; you are overly impatient to achieve your goal; or you are attributing something excessive importance. Relax your grip.
Put these meaningless cares to one side and get back to doing something more beneficial i.e. the process of putting one foot in front of the other in the direction of your goal.
At this stage, only the target slide should occupy your thoughts. The target slide should only include the final picture of your life once the goal has been achieved without any additional scripts. Turn this slide over in your mind continuously; live inside it. Your comfort zone will begin to expand and the parameters of your thought energy will become attuned to the target life line.
The hidden grain of truth in the saying has much greater weight. The point is that if you can take it into your head to perceive the seemingly unfavourable change in the scenario as a positive thing playing for your hand, this is exactly how things will be.
When you are going with the alternatives flow you can accelerate your speed by using a “paddle”. The paddle is the visualisation of links in the transfer chain. Unlike the slide, this type of visualisation includes a script of how you move towards the goal. But as you know, visualisation of the current link does not include the entire script, just a fragment of it that relates to the present time. You place one foot in front of the other, guided by your current intention. Whilst you are taking one step you simultaneously set the intention to take the next.
Do not worry about the future; live the present.
You will never cross onto a life line filled with happiness and good fortune whilst you are dissatisfied with yourself; for when well-being and good fortune shine upon you, are you not pleased with yourself? How can you get onto these lines if the parameters of your thought energy are attuned to self-criticism? Do not forget, that the mind only perceives an unforeseen change in the alternatives flow as a failure because it is not written into the mind’s script. Why not accept the change and see the setback as a success? Try playing the flowing game: greet every setback with joyful surprise

Altruism is a wonderful quality to have but if you choose to devote yourself to serving others you will never find your own happiness.
As you will remember, money can serve neither as a means nor a goal. Money is simply an accompanying attribute along the way to your goal. There is no point in sharpening your focus on money. Quite the opposite; as a rule, chewing over money thoughts only creates harmful, excess potential. If the set goal is truly yours money will come to you of its own accord and you will not need to worry about it at all.
Inspiration comes from union between heart and mind in the absence of importance.
Inspiration does not arrive; it is freed up in the moment that the potential of importance leaves and the other way around; inspiration is clamped the moment the impatient mind drives the heart back into its box to wait.
Firstly, abandon the desire to achieve the goal for if the goal is truly yours you will not succeed in getting rid of it for long anyway. Sooner or later, the goal will be fulfilled. The will to have and the complete absence of insistence and determination on your part play the key role. Take what is yours calmly and without pressurising the situation just as you would take the post from your letterbox. All inner intention should do is place one foot in front of the other on the way to the letterbox. Secondly, forget about specially preparing for the “mystery”. Any preparation for inspiration

relying on other people’s decisions you place your destiny in their hands.
Even your own door can slam shut if you have somewhere attributed significantly embellished importance.
Do not give in to the influence of other people. Believe in yourself. In the search for your goal do not listen to anyone and follow your heart.
Tension creates inhomogeneity in the general field calling up balanced forces as a result.
To eliminate mental tension it is essential and sufficient for importance to be reduced. The reason you are tense in the first place is because of the excess meaning you attribute to whatever is bringing you down.
To eliminate stress from your life you have to wake up and reduce importance.
Do not strive to become a bundle of energy; rather, imagine yourself to be a drop in the ocean.
The power of outer intention is proportional to your energy levels.
The technique involves the following affirmation: my channels are widening and my intention energy is increasing.

Self-coercion frightens the subconscious which makes it resist. In the end, the subconscious will have its own way, so you can expect to ditch the diet and gain even more weight than before.
Do not try to change others, but do not try to change yourself either.
Allow others to realise their inner intention.
By shifting your attention to the desires and motivations of others you will easily find your own needs met. All it takes is for you to ask yourself what the focus is of your partner’s inner intention.
Activate your Guardian and stop playing the game of enhancing your own self-worth. Play the game of increasing the significance of others.
You attract attention to yourself, by showing interest in others.
In everyday communication it does not matter how interesting you are. What matters is how well the other person thinks you would suit them in a relationship and this is what they are evaluating whilst communicating with you.
repeat, your positive qualities and failings are not your partner’s prime concern. The sense of self-worth they experience when talking to you however, is their utmost priority.
Ask yourself how you can connect what you want with another person’s needs.
So, work out how the task that is important to you might improve that person’s sense of self-worth. Then, present the task to them in the context of how it would increase their stature. Allow a person to feel more valued and they will experience greater faith in themselves. When they do, be generously appreciative of them.
Appeal to a persons self worth to make them feel more valued.
Do not think about how to sell your products. Think about what the buyer might want to purchase. The desire to sell is a reflection of inner intention. Outer intention takes a totally different approach which is to find out what the buyer wants.
People will always take offense at criticism, irrespective of whether they are in the wrong, or whether the accusation is fair or not, so where does criticism get you? You might get to vent your bile but at the same time you create excess potential and end up being the one to suffer. You will never persuade someone that they are in the wrong. They may listen to your accusations but are unlikely to fully acknowledge being in the wrong, even if they agree with you superficially. You may be successful in asserting yourself at someone else’s expense or at establishing your power over them, but not

Encouragement is a creative force; criticism a destructive force.
To protect yourself from being drawn into the game you have to wake up and switch on your inner Guardian.
Avoid injuring other peoples’ sense of self-esteem like the plague.
Never begin a conversation with a sensitive issue. It does not matter what topic of conversation you choose to start with, as long as your conversant agrees with you. Later, you can smoothly navigate the conversation towards more contentious issues.
