Longing

Dear Soul,

Do You have an unfulfilled desire? Well, all of us have a pocketful of desires. Some of them are fulfilled; even repeatedly fulfilled, which is frequently taken for granted (for example, hot water in our taps at home). Some desires may be fulfilled occasionally and for a short time, and some may remain unfulfilled for a long time, such as, for example, the longing for love, wealth, success, self-realisation, finding the meaning of one’s life, etc.

Each desire that You transmit into the Universe, dear Soul, receives and immediate answer from the Universe in the form of fulfilment. The principle is simple: in order for a wish to arise, an unfulfilled desire must exist in our lives; in other words, something we do not have becomes manifested as a desire. The desire then attracts the fulfilment. However, the problem with us, people, is that we mostly overlook, or do not see these answers at all. But, if You understand the law of attraction and behave in compliance with it, the game of fulfilling Your wishes has become Your “hobby”; moreover, if there is something You do not have, it does not make You feel sad, envious, angry, or frustrated; instead, You feel joyous in the anticipation of its fulfilment.

Except, most people know nothing about the law of attraction and the creation of their personal reality; therefore, they keep reacting to situations in the same way (it is possible that You behave like this) – by focusing their attention not on the sense of desire, but on the absence of what they long for. For example, if You are looking for true love, You put effort into finding it. After some time, You begin to feel frustrated because You try so hard and the right person just doesn’t want to appear in Your life. And the more You try, the more You chase the fulfilment of Your desire away from You.

It is quite possible that You have already met the prince or princess of your dreams, but Your internal setting was on such low frequency that You did not notice them. And even if You noticed them, You chased them away with Your efforts. And this is how it works in all areas, with each desire You can imagine. But since You put effort into fulfilling Your desire, i.e., You focus on what is absent in Your life, You therefore attract the ABSENCE of what You long for.

Notice how many times when the need of something You do not have becomes manifested in You, Your mind begins to concentrate on the “problem” and its resolution; Your focus is so strong that You forget about everything else that has been fulfilled in Your life. But if You begin to focus on thoughts that induce pleasant feelings in You, or on activities that make You happy, Your other desires will be fulfilled in a very short time.

This whole thing works as a magnet. Just imagine that Your desire is a magnet and its fulfilment (the love of Your dreams, work, wealth, anything) is another magnet. If you “strive” to focus on the reality, i.e., the fact that You do not have something, You turn the desire against the magnet of the desire’s fulfilment with the pole that repels it. Because of your focus, no matter what You do, the magnet of fulfilment will be escaping You. Of course, if You try hard enough, You can manage to push Your magnet of desire and “attach” it to the magnet of fulfilment, but it will be quite a hassle! Some people (in fact, most of them) suffer through their lives by always pushing the magnets against each other (unhappy marriage, toil at work, strenuous way of making money, etc.).

In fact, it would be enough if we stopped manipulating the magnet of our desire, and just let it be there. If You “give up” and turn Your attention away from the problem to what is good in Your life, or to what is happening at the moment – the sunset, the beautiful snow on the ground and its reflection under the street lamps, etc. – You begin to let go the magnet of Your desire and allow it to act upon the law of attraction. It will then turn the right direction and attract fulfilment.

It looks crazy because it is too simple. The problem, however, lies in the fact that most people are convinced that happiness is not something simple, that it must be deserved and worked on. Dear Soul, test the functioning of the law of attraction on small things, on those where You have not collected too much emotional “burden”, which is hard to be ignored.

Think of a thing that does not matter to You. For example, a dart target board, the one that You aim your darts at and collect points when playing. Imagine how many various kinds of those dart target boards exist: small, large, or the pocket kinds that can be unfolded anywhere; then those made of massive wood; or the artistic ones that are customised for passionate players; plastic or illuminated ones; then those with a display; or those varying in their surface designs, colourful, minimalistic, etc. Also, target boards for plastic dart tips are different from those made for darts with metal tips. Millions of dart target boards exist; some of them are simply wonderful and certainly very comfortable to play.

Can You feel how Your setting has changed? While imagining all those various target boards, dear Soul, You may have had no resistance in your setting, which would be reminding You that You did not have all those targets. Play with Your setting this way; keep imagining various unimportant little things and feel the joy of their existence, despite the fact that You do not own them. Soon, you will realize that you really ARE creator of your own world. Have fun, dear Soul!
