“Fixation on a goal comes easily, especially with the constant visualization of the goal and how
wonderful we know we will feel when we achieve our goal. At the same time, too much fixation is like overwatering a plant. Often overfixating on a goal or desire creates a new belief that nothing matters except achieving this new goal. The result is that even if we have already accomplished many things in our life, our focus can turn to obsession. This obsession with the end result can continually remind us that we will not be happy until our goal is achieved.
The key is to let the process of manifesting work for us. When we let that work, we let God and the Universe go into action. It is not necessary to if we were in a restaurant waiting on our food. In a restaurant, we place our food order only once. For our goals, we can continually remind ourselves through pictures and words of what we are planning to obtain. Yet, the “attachment” to the goal prevents it from occurring.”
