Why would an 11-day trip take 40 years to complete?
They started, with a vision of where they were going. They encountered unanticipated events and objects along the way. Those unknowns captured their time and attention. They became so absorbed with handling the things they did not anticipate that the destination went into hiding. Even the people calling them there couldn't move them. The obstacles were creating them. Of course the way out was to look at the mental picture or vision of the destination every day, several times a day. To holographically see and feel what the destination would be like. To feel the sensations, the emotions, to have the feelings of satisfaction, of having arrived. That feeling you get after settling down and completely relaxing after the last step of the journey is completed. To see and feel the reality of what the destination looked and felt like when first conceived. Beautiful. Pleasant. Satisfying. Better than imagined. When they did this solutions to unknowns came to them. Unanticipated obstacles were overcome. They could arrive.
All I wanted was to know if what I have would help them and if they wanted it.
But what if they say "no"? What if I catch them at a bad time? What if they think I'm crazy? Or stupid. What if they have a question I can't answer? What if they don't want to talk with someone they don't know?
Whew!
What if I remind them of a bad experience they had? Or someone they don't like. What if they don't have money? Or time. Or interest. What if I don't know what to do if they say "yes"?
Oh my! What if... what if... what if...?What if I knew what they wanted? What if I knew I could help them have it? What if they agreed? Happily! Enthusiastically!
What would it mean to them if I help them have the solution that turns their 40-year trip into an 11-day trip?
What if I sincerely want to know what their wants and needs are, call them up and just ask? And let it be okay if we don't have a match; or I have imperfections; or I don't know what to do next; or I come up with a solution that is not what I pre-determined.
All I want is... to know if what I have will help them and if they want it.
Be you!
