♥ ~ Principles of Miracles #39 ♥
When you set a goal you need to adopt three qualities to help manifest the end result.DesireFirst, you must have a burning desire to achieve the goal.BeliefSecond,you must have a strong belief that the goal is possible and within reach.ExpectancyThird, you must be in the state of expectancy – you must be expecting to see results.
- First ask yourself why do you really want what you want. Keep asking until you reduce the desire to its elementary need.
- Now focus on this desire or need in your mental programming.
- Be open to coincidences. Don’t be locked into having the solution come from any one direction.
A quotation by Murray is widely misattributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The following passage occurs near the beginning of Murray's The Scottish Himalayan Expedition (1951):... but when I said that nothing had been done I erred in one important matter. We had definitely committed ourselves and were halfway out of our ruts. We had put down our passage money— booked a sailing to Bombay. This may sound too simple, but is great in consequence. Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!The "Goethe couplet" referred to here is from an extremely loose translation of Goethe's Faust lines 214-30 made by John Anster in 1835.
