To Do Or Not To Do?

Quesion: "I used to be very goal oriented and then I decided not to have any goals and let the Holy Spirit bring me what I needed. But I still was attached to my "wants" and have not been accomplishing anything... Any ways, I think I need to have some kind of a plan for my life now....finding balance in "doing" and "not doing"

Answer: There is nothing wrong with having goals, just make sure you write them in pencil. In other words, do not attach yourself to them. Now, when you are ready to completely let go, you stop becoming goal oriented and instead become internally driven.

A goal is my way of saying I know best. Internally driven is about Spirit using me. The thing is, when we let go and let God, the lesson is in trusting. Can I be okay without having to know where I am going? This is the opposite of what the world teaches.

Someone once said, "Most men's troubles comes from the inability to sit in a room by themselves alone."

> now....finding balance in "doing" and "not doing".

The doing becomes a natural expression of our being. When I am on purpose, I am always doing. Doing something that is in alignment with being of service. When I am on outcome (goal oriented), I am also doing. The difference is, I am doing to accomplish something that I think will make ME happy. It is always thinking about me.

The great paradox is that when I am on purpose, whatever it is I am doing, not only makes me TRULY happy, and fulfilled, but it always serve others as well.

I am very happy sharing this thoughts with you, and I don't do it for me, I just do it to serve you. Interestingly enough, I feel naturally happy in taking the time to share this with you, without any attachments. My attention is always on how can I server you.

From the ego's perspective serving you is sacrificing me. From the Spirit's perspective, serving you is serving me because we are One! It is a win win situation.
