When I wanted something very mouch, I gave condition to myself: “when I will see consequently 3 red cars, my wish will happen / my dream will happened / … “. I already gave some conditions to the action, which I wanted. Why? I was not sure, if this could happen and I wanted to give it same additional power – and also convince myself, that it can happen.
When conditions happened, I felt happy and believed that my wish will happen. I took this “system” from my childhood. I turned later this system to the question: “Did I do all my best to achieve what I wanted?!” If I answered “yes”, I felt happy, that I did my best. I am not able to control all circumstances, which can influence the outcome, but I did all my best.
The honest answer gave us freedom – feeling, that we did it and outcome will come. We can lose something, but we were honest with ourselves – we did our best. This feeling gave as the peace in our heart and we can live our life more relaxed.
