Focusing on (Calendar) Dates for Goal Setting?

This is not an article on who Susan is dating, and its not an article on the dates known as fruits. It is an article for those that want to set dates on the desires they want manifested.

This is a true story, but I've changed the elements of it to protect the innocent, but the essence of the example is the truth. This is a story about one of my favorite people, Jessy James.

Jessy wanted to have a new boat built for himself, under his design, by scratch. He wanted to find a good boat builder that would build his boat by the time he wanted it.

Jessy interviewed many boat builders and finally made the choice. He was able to finally choose based on the fact that the one boat builder told him he could have his boat built and Jessy would be able to sail it by the date Jessy wanted. Jessy was very happy!

Contracts and paperwork were all signed. Everyone happy and excited to begin.

Then there were some problems, some mis-understandings, then some of the short term projected dates for phases of the boat to be completed were not completed. Jessy was getting hot under the collar, and the money was looking like it was going to be more than anticipated.

Concerned for the some of the things going on, Jessy hired a boat inspector to come and check some of the preliminary work. The inspector told Jessy that the boat would not keep water out. It was not a good job. The boat would sink.

Long painful story short, Lawyers for Jessy and the Boat Builder started suing each other.

Jessy related this story to me, and wanted me to tell him what happened.

This is what happened: Jessy was determined to have the boat built by a certain date. That was the intention that he set.

When we move our focus to the date, then we might have a version of what we wanted manifested by that date, but it wont be the version that we would have wanted.

Jessy also didn't pay attention to the many signs along the way, that clearly showed even before contracts were signed, that this business relationship was going to be a difficult one.

When we are skilled manifestors, problems like this don't show up in our lives. Difficult people just pass us by.

But still Jessy had his eyes on sailing that boat by a certain date. The boat may have been completed by that date if the lawyers weren't called in, but the boat would have taken on much water damage, if not sunk. And the lawyers would have to come in and try to clean up the mess anyway.

Many of us as we begin teaching ourselves how to manifest on purpose, using new skills, we still have that thing about WHEN will it show up?

One of the finesse areas within this skill, is understanding that as we begin to concentrate on the When, we move our light energy laser beam focus off of the actual thing we want to manifest.

This then pulls all of our inner wisdom off center and we make our choices from not good places, and we end up with busted dreams and sunken ships.

Thinking too long about WHEN, then moves us into doubt, and then we become a sinking ship, convincing ourselves we'll never get that thing we want. Some of us just down right quit! Mutiny On The Bounty!

Therefore, when you catch yourself all caught up in the WHEN, catch yourself quickly, and ask what is it you really want? Do you want that thing, in the best possible way that it can show up? Or do you want it to be full of holes, but completed by the date you wanted? Those are 2 separate intentions, when you really only need to have one CLEAR one.

As far as how Jessy is doing today? Well, last I heard he was interviewing Attorneys!
