“Desires of the heart are always granted” Spiritual Life Law.
I’m sure you know someone who has achieved status and wealth, owns a luxurious house, drives a fancy car and is downright miserable.
This person may be an accomplished lawyer who dreams about being an opera singer…or a Wall Street trader who wishes for a career in broadcasting. Attaining your goals doesn’t mean you will necessarily FEEL successful.
How often have you or someone you know set a goal and achieved it, only to be disappointed or deflated after reaching the goal?
Why is that? You felt flat because, although you were successful in attaining the goal, it wasn’t in line with or connected to your true desires.
For your attained goals to grant success, they must be in alignment with what you TRULY desire, not just what you think you want – or those things that adhere to other people’s perceptions of how success looks.
Example:
I have a friend whose parents wanted him to become a doctor. So hemajored in Biology in college, spent seven years in medical school and interned at a hospital, only to realize during his residency that he hated practicing medicine.
Funny thing was: He sensed it wasn’t for him early in his freshman year, while struggling through a biochemistry course. But he didn’t want to let his parents down; so instead, he let himself down. Fortunately for my friend, whom I playfully called Doctor Disgruntled, he was able to put his education and experience to good use as medical director for a major insurance company.
Administration and a 9-to-5 job were much more aligned with his desires than a medical practice would have had him on call 24 hours a day. And somehow, his parents survived. How many times have you found yourself doing things for someone else –for all the wrong reasons?
Perhaps you’ve found yourself in a similar situation at some point in your life.
It’s easy to get trapped into doing “the right thing” for others, only to find out it is wrong for you.
In the beginning you think it will bring you success; but once you get into it, you realize it doesn’t make you happy, doesn’t give you satisfaction or doesn’t yield the results you’re really looking for.
Action Step: Search your heart to find your true desires: Take a moment and start a list of 101 wishes. Start writing down all the things that you really desire to experience on this earth before you leave it.
Be honest and let your self release all the excuses and reasons why you can’t.
These are desires…you don’t have to commit to doing them all at once.
Tell the universe your dreams on paper and watch what happens by doing this simple step….
