Hello Friend,
when it comes to creating things and to changing our reality, the world seems to be split into two rather extreme schools of thought.
One says that you have to do do do work work work, the harder the better, because that’s how things get done. The other one says that you have to want it hard enough and think about it hard enough, for it to magically “manifest” in your life.
Now while both approaches have some truth in them, if applied this way they will only exhaust you, and are not likely to deliver what you want.
Why? Because both are based on misconceptions as to how energy works.
If you just sleep, eat, and toil from morning to evening, you’re only setting in motion finite physical energy in a finite amount of time.
When you’re doing the “attracting/manifesting” stuff, you are indeed calling upon infinite energy, but you might be speaking the wrong language for that, and you’re not showing the energy a reason, a purpose for which it should come to you.
As I often say, the magic lies in aligned action.
There’s no way we can avoid action. We’re in a physical reality here, and action is just one of the rules of the game. But aligned action is action that we love taking, that makes us believe we’ll achieve our goals, that feels easy even if it might look like hard work to everyone else.
I’ll give you a personal example: when I started studying to become a singer, I was taking long and demanding lessons twice a week, which also implied driving through the notorious Roman traffic, finding a parking spot, then walking variably long distances from the car to my teacher’s house and back. After a while, I added 1.5 hours of daily practice at home to that, then I gradually added the endless hours of learning my music, and then I started to rehearse with a pianist on top of all that.
I had my other work, studying music was not my main occupation at the time, and people around me couldn’t believe the energy and effort I put into that, it looked crazy to them. But for me? I was never too tired for any of that, I would make the time, I felt energised while driving to my lessons, while singing, while learning, while going to the music shops for more repertoire…
Was I toiling away like mad? It certainly looked like it! But not for me, I was flying! My purpose was so clear and so important to me, that all the required action felt like fun.
But you don’t know how many times in my life, I just couldn’t bring myself to do some much easier and much smaller things, because they weren’t aligned with what I want and what I believe, with my values, with who I am.
I see that every day, so many people work hard at jobs they hate, and only wait for their time off. What a dire situation!
Imagine if all those millions of people put that amount of time and effort into something that makes their hearts sing… What would our world be like?
Back to the smaller picture, back to you and me. I want to share a tool here, that was created by Mike Dooley, called the Dooley Triangle.
This is used for a powerful plan-of-action exercise that helps you find the balance between the action required from you and the help you can get from the universe’s energy management.
For every goal or dream you have, you draw a big triangle on a piece of paper, and you divide it into two equal parts with a line down the middle, top to bottom.
In the left side of the triangle, you write everything you can do to make it happen. Physical action steps, anything practical and logical that needs doing, like talking to this person, buying that tool, finishing that certification, basically getting all your 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆 in a row.
In the right side of the triangle, you put everything you want the universe to do for you. Serendipities, like meeting someone who will help, getting sudden flashes of intuition, finding yourself in some amazing circumstances…
My addition to this is: also write down in this part how you feel, knowing that this is in your power and already yours, and how much you appreciate this wonderful situation. Not in the future, which would mean that you don’t have it yet. But right now!
Let the universe know that you already are the person who has that and who feels that way. Go into that feeling. That will speed things up in a miraculous way. And if the opposite feeling comes up, the familiar ‘but-I-don’t-have-it-yet-and-I-don’t-even-know-if-I-can-ever-have-it’ one, just say “Hello” to it, and tell it that you don’t need its help right now. Move your gaze somewhere else, and come back to your previous feeling and your triangle. I swear you don’t have anything to lose!
And now comes the best part. Look at the whole triangle and you’ll realise that for your goal to be reached, both sides are equally needed, and will feed off each other. The universe won’t do much if you don’t set it in motion through your actions, and once it starts moving, your actions will become more and more inspired and easy and empowered.
Now an unstoppable virtuous circle is created, that must and will, help you transform your dreams into your reality.
