Thank you so much for your comment.

I agree so much theoretically. I know that in my case, really letting go is a lesson I still need to learn in practice. Whenever I’ve let go (usually with stuff I’m not desperate for) the results have been fantastic.

I also think the point you raise about enjoying the journey is extremely important. You may never get to the manifestation of some of your aims (as you say, because they may be huge) but as long as you enjoy the travelling towards them, life makes full sense.

An exercise that some books propose is to imagine what there is after you already get to your aim. For example: if you want to have 10 million dollars, imagine you already have them and think what you want from life after that. I’ve made that exercise with many aspects and I’ve realised some aims may even be a distraction from the real, bigger aim.

Then I move on to something else, but with contentment and not desperation in needing something else outside me.

I think we are happiest while working “towards” goals and projects and improvements. Some of these goals may be so large we may never achieve them.
