How bright is the future? As bright as you want it to be and then some. So cheer up. After all, if the above is true, then the higher you set your standard, the more amazing things will be when that standard is surpassed. Set the universe a challenge. Raise a level of expectation that is higher than you would usually even dare contemplate. Then defy the cosmos to beat that! Only, one word of warning. Don't pin your hope on something too narrowly specific. Focus on what you want to feel, not how you want to get to that feeling. And then magically, you will be guided.

echoes of Susan's description of successful people: They know where they want to go, but they don't know exactly how they'll get there. They don't over-plan. They leave room for serendipity and synchronicity.

I like both these sentiments -- thanks!

You're welcome! I posted them mostly for myself, and am pleased to see that they resonate with others, too!

Wonderful entry. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, about how you really do seem to get what you envision, and it's SO true about not planning the itinerary, just the destination!

Thanks for lettin' me know others believe in this, too.

You're welcome! It's a realization I've only come about recently, as I have so often over-planned things in my life -- thus squashing any opportunity for surprise turns. I'm now starting to experience the amazing gifts that are waiting for those who can imagine them.

serendipity and synchronicity

These are two of my favorite words :)
