Practicing detachment has great power in all aspects of our lives and is one of the keys to actually manifesting our reality. However, this doesn’t mean we don’t get to make our plans. On the contrary, the main point to “Detaching from Outcomes” is to set our intentions, dreams, visions and goals; this builds a road map to follow and enables us to take action in a forward direction. By understanding that the outcome will be that which we desire or something better is how we co-creator with spirit and our Higher Powers.
We’ve all heard the saying, “If you want to make God laugh tell him your plan.” So instead, share with your Higher Power what your intentions are and allow the creative intelligence of the universe (God) to assist, guide and co-create with you. Things will come into your life that you could have never imagined or dreamed of by yourself.
Having this radio show is a perfect example: I had an intention to become a public speaker. I had this vision in my head of standing on a stage in front of thousands of people as far as the eye could see in three directions; all were there to hear me speak. I had an affirmation that would replay in my head all the time – “People of the earth, can you hear me?” I had no idea how I was going to make this happen, but I was committed to following through. I shared this dream with a friend one day and he told me about Toastmasters. He was a member and invited me to a meeting.
Rather quickly, I fell in love with toastmasters and began to build my public speaking confidence. One day at our meeting, this same friend made a comment about my voice, asking me if I had ever considered radio. He told me about some broadcasting classes and I signed up. Now I was in love with the idea of being a public speaker on the radio! Not long after this, I was asked to speak at an event. A woman in the audience heard my voice and invited me to join her talk show. All of this happened in less that a year. Today people of the earth can hear me all over the world. This would have never happened if I weren’t able to detach from the original vision of being on a stage in front of thousands of people. I had to detach from that outcome to receive this gift.
Detaching from outcomes is a simple thought but difficult practice. But just like learning to ride a bike, to master it just takes commitment. Then it becomes second nature and your whole world opens up.
Namaste my friends, and pass it on. You won’t get to keep it unless you give it away.
