‘How’.

Such a small word.

It’s both very dangerous and highly critical to ‘life, the universe and everything’.

Especially business, what you and I do, but also everything else.

It’s a bit of a strange concept to be explaining ‘how’ to stop needing to know ‘how’, but really in that context, it’s not a circular argument or discussion, because you and I really do need to know the danger of ‘how’  and how to avoid falling into its trap.

How is the key word which holds you and I back.

(There is another and I’ll deal with it another time.)

The thing is, pretty much every time we have a vision or intention or a goal, we inevitably, or so it seems, start to consider ‘how’ we are going to achieve it.

We start thinking about ‘how’ we can do it. Which leads to ‘what’ we need to do, and each ‘what’ is also attached to its own ‘how’!

“How can I make this happen?” leads to “what do I need to do?” leads to the whole bunch of ‘how’s and we become overwhelmed with the enormity (even if it isn’t), of the journey we believe we’re going to have to follow to reach our destination – our vision or our intention.

Just take a look at what’s going on around us in the world.

So many ambitions, some bad, but the vast majority of them good. Headline targets but no idea how these wishes have any chance of being fulfilled.

Here’s the escape route, the tunnel out of ‘Stalag How’. but there is, or may

be, a problem, depending on how you look at and understand how ‘life, the universe and everything’ really works.

Just a quick word of warning. It depends how far you are down the road.

If you’re too embedded in the how and the what and the subsequent ‘how’s it’s going to be hard and you may feel you’re going backwards but sometimes on a journey you and I need to backtrack to get on the right route.

Cast your mind back to where it all started, the vision (or ‘dream’ if you live on the wrong side of the pond) and the intentions, outcomes and goals you set.

Focus on the outcomes and as many people have attested, the Universe, (whether you see that as God or the Force or Spirit or Source, whatever) will, not ‘make it happen’, but will provide you with the way forward, the action you need to take, both the what and the how.

Our conscious minds, our left brain, cannot do this by itself except in very limited situations. It can protect us from attack by predators or enemies, and it can help us find food and other things we need to survive, but not much else.

However good you think it is, it isn’t.

Our intelligence, our ‘HI’, springs from the right brain, which we sometimes call the subconscious, and gets ported over to the left, which is another story.

But the fact of the matter is, the answers, need to come not from the left, which is where we think they do, but rather from the right, from the higher dimensions through our intuition and imagination.

So let go of your dependence on logic and process and what seems to be the ‘how’ you’re looking for. Let go, and open up to the intuition you will receive when you allow it in.
