In the universe, matter and antimatter exist. In equal amounts, they cancel each other out. If there's a greater quantity of one than the other, that's the one that "wins." Though there are pockets of antimatter in space, there are more elements of matter or nothing would exist.
A parallel occurred the other morning as I wrapped my mind around something I intend for my life, a target at which I aimed and fired my arrow. I have real reason to believe my arrow is headed straight for the center; yet I felt a familiar pattern of thinking questions like, What if I miss? What if it's the wrong target? What if it happens later than I'd prefer? Of course, my imagination started down that path, and that can be a pretty emotionally charged path of what I don't desire as an outcome.
I've gotten enough affirmative signs that everything is a go. In fact, some of the signs are quite brilliant, so why doubt? I understand this: The quantum field does everything it can to manifest our emotionally charged thoughts into what we call our reality. It follows our thoughts like instructions, though known to provide outcomes in ways that amaze us. If I add doubt to the mix, what's likely to happen to the momentum or appearance of the manifestation? I prefer to not confuse the quantum field assistants working diligently to make sure I hit my target.
Doubt and fear create stagnation in our lives: We choose an outcome, but delay or impede it with What If concerns or fears. Matter/Antimatter. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Fear defeats more people than any other thing in the world."
I understand that when we use the Law of Attraction, we hold an image clearly in our minds. The challenge seems to be our willingness to let go of doubts about it happening and attachments to when, how, who and where. We definitely benefit if we release attachment to the minute details about the chosen outcome. This is why I always add "This or something better" to my stated intentions.
An archer prepares for the shot, takes a stance, and sees, with the mind's eye, the arrow land exactly where intended. This is how people who "win" describe their experiences. Every thought other than hitting center is released from their mind. They become one with the process and outcome.
We might do well to give this process consideration about any area that seems to have lost its momentum to move forward. Are we on the right range? Are we facing our true target? Are we prepared to adjust when outside influences arise? Do we hope we hit our target or do we intend to?
Adjust as needed, take aim, and move beyond any inner and outer distractions to become one with your target. Though you'll feel quite pleased when you hit the center, it's really more about how you move through the inner and outer experience of yourself. For me, that's where true power and satisfaction lie, because it means I can do it as often as I choose. If fear of failure and expectation of success exist in the same space, stagnation is the outcome. Choose one or the other.
