There is nothing more terrifying than getting exactly what you want. Because if you do, consider the result:
- You might lose it
- You might realize that it’s not enough
- You might discover it isn’t actually what you (thought) you wanted
- You might succeed and then miss your emotional goal of expected failure
- You might be afraid of the changes that success would bring into your life
To avoid these inevitable anxieties, remember the words of The Tao De Ching:
“Possess nothing, expect nothing”
Whatever you follow through with; don’t label it as failure, as success
It’s neither one
It just is
Nothing but the consequences of your experiments
Doing so makes the process less threatening, which makes the result more educational
Are you accepting life as it comes or trying to squeeze it into a convenient little box called success?
