A goal is one half of a problem.
The other half is not having accomplished the goal.
Achieving a goal feels good temporarily. It raises our self-confidence and self-esteem temporarily.
Whether we achieve a goal or fail by giving up, we wind up with a new goal / problem.
The Essential Truth is that everything is perfect the way it is.
“I just had to let it go.”
– John Lennon in Watching the Wheels
What a gift, this blog ~ i love this post. Have you heard of the 100 monkey theory? If a few of us can hold this truth, that all is perfect and God is in charge, one day it will be easier for everyone to live it ~ Let go, let Bliss.
Thankyou for sharing!
Thank you, Sarah
Yes! Have heard of the 100 monkey theory. Thanks for pointing out how it applies to this blog.

There will be another post in the morning that talks about operating at a higher level where you create out of joy rather than solve problems.
Hi Jim,
interested to see this on Lennon. I have been using The Beatles to analyse a learning approach called the Open Context Model of Learning, which analyses creativity as heutagogy, as we call it.

Love, love, love this! Never really listened to the words of this song before. Everything sounds new when you listen with new ears. Thank you Jim!
