New Year’s Resolutions: Let Go of “How”

In this time of New Year's Resolutions give your focus, attention and energy to your primary goal and detach from how you think it has to happen. Let go of the "I have to do this in order to have that so I can be what I want to be" format of goal structuring. It's a good idea to have a strategy to accomplish your goal. However, I suggest opening yourself up to the possibility, and probability, that accomplishment of your goal can happen in unexpected, seemingly miraculous, ways that you could never have planned. Here's a story that will illustrate how detachment from the 'how' can result in desired outcomes.

My friend, Anjali Paul, was born in Punjab, India. She has a B.A. (Honours) degree in English Literature, a post-graduate diploma in Filmmaking and is a yoga teacher. She is also an accomplished writer publishing her 4th novel in 2006, "The Virgin Goddess", available at Amazon.com and Waterstones bookstores in the UK. She overcame severe physical and psychological trauma after a series of accidents, including an accident that resulted in full-body third degree burns, and, despite her injuries, became the recognized writer she has always wanted to be.

Nothing stops Anjali from realizing her dreams. As a writer, she wanted to buy a home that would give her a wonderful place to live and also an inspiring writing environment. She also wanted to have the resources to travel extensively to enrich her writing perspective. However, she had no idea how she would be able to afford such a home and extensive travel. However, owning and living in such a home became her uppermost dream. To subsidize her income as a writer she was offered a part-time job as as office administrator. As fate would have it, this part-time job was with a property developer. That connection lead her to meeting a multi-millionaire property developer who inspired her to create a novel way to help people easily sell their homes in a struggling market.

Anjali sets up a competition for each home seller where interested home buyers purchase a raffle ticket at a very modest price and answer three questions for a chance to win the home. If the proceeds equal or exceed the value of the home the winner gets to own the home at value! And Anjali's company, Instant Haven Ltd., keeps any profit. If the proceeds come in less than the value of the home the net revenue that is generated is split 3 ways). The prize winner gets one-third. The home-owner gets one-third and keeps their home. And Anjali's company, Instant Haven Ltd., keeps one third.

Anjali is now having fun earning significant income. She intends to travel the world this year (and in the years to come) and have lots of earthly and spiritual adventures; she has plenty of time to devote to her writing and has an eye on a home for herself. She has done this in a way she could never have imagined when she set her goals. She just set her intentions, stayed committed to them and let the Universe deliver in a miraculous way!
