We all seem to want “dramatic results.” Dramatic results happen in such an illusive way. Occasionally something blows up; but typically, it’s inch by inch.
Dramatic results occur when you turn your attention to other things. For example, if you haven’t seen your 8 year-old nephew in a while, four years later at the family reunion, the transformation is “dramatic.” He grew up “overnight.” That’s because you were off doing other things. They grew up right under your nose, so to speak, and suddenly, you take note, and then, they are “dramatically different.”
The same things will happen in your life. If you want dramatic results, turn your attention elsewhere. Stop searching, pinning, or grasping onto desire. If you want results, go away and come back way later. Do results need you to “check in?”
So-called dramatic results happen undercover. This allows us to enjoy ourselves while the results flower in darkness. We simply stop noticing. When you stop prying, and joyfully live other aspects of life, results flourish. Bodybuilding is this way. There’s no way to see dramatic results if you photograph yourself each day, step on the scale, or wonder if you’ll ever “get there.”
Let the child grow. Leave them for a while, and four years later, “dramatic results.” That’s the secret to manifestation. You turn your attention elsewhere. You enjoy something else besides wondering – “Will this damn pot ever boil?” If you go do yard work, do some bicycling, or play cards with a friend, when you return to the pot, it will be bubbling over!
Just leave your growing nephew alone. 4 years later, he’ll be big and strong. 60 years later, he’ll be hunched over – talk about dramatic!
Dramatic results come when you’re hardly noticing. Quit checking. Your nephew is growing like a weed. Now go and enjoy yourself. The fire is on, and the pot will boil when the pot boils.
