Goals and Disappointment



Sanora, I was thinking about the harmful effects of stress, and wondered how someone could pursue goals on a conventional basis, without being heavily invested in them. It seems to me that the larger the personal investment into a goal, the greater the potential for stress. Is there stress in heaven? Can GOD want something enough to create commandments, without being heavily invested in those ideas, and is GOD stressed, because of our failure to adopt, and live up to those commandments?

My, we have been busy this morning, haven’t we?

Let us begin. I believe your referring to disappointment. Stress has many causes and is a “physiological reaction” to your environment, via chemical means. Disappointment is a “psychological reaction” to your environment. You live in a world of duality which allows you to make choices, which in itself is a gift of GOD, for it makes your life interesting and enjoyable.
If I read you right, your concern is about setting up goals, becoming heavily invested in them, and then receiving a big disappointment by their not being achieved within your chosen time frame. Let us break this process down, and analyze it. First you set a goal, with the idea that it is something that you desire to happen. You are starting with a certain emotional set point, depending on how great your desire is. Should your emotional set point be low at this time, due to lack of desire or belief, then you would not be too disappointed by not receiving it,... and the opposite would be true if your emotional set point was very high. However, the greater your emotional set point, the more likely you are to receive what you desire, because desire, plus emotion, plus belief, are the tools of creation. They are closer to being passion, and you can’t be passionate about something and neutral at the same time! The trick is to find something you're passionate about, and set your goals within that framework. Then you’ll be happy, and the time frame for their realization won’t be so important, because you’ll still be doing what you love while you're waiting for your goal to complete.
