Question:  How do I deal with fatigue?  I’m tired after the work day is through and don’t have much energy left for pursing my dreams.

Higgins:  Physical’s get tired when they exert themselves mentally or physically or both. Sleep time is required and adequate for recovery of body and mind in this type of fatigue.

There is another kind of tired, the tired that comes when one’s energy flow is interrupted. That is the kind of fatigue you are experiencing.

Think about doing something you enjoy doing. If your body or mind did not tire, you could go on a long time doing them. That is because your energy flows harmoniously when you do things you enjoy.

Think now about doing something you do not enjoy. When you feel lack luster and less than enthusiastic about the activity you are engaged in your energy does not flow as well, like water through a kinked hose. This sort of fatigue is not so readily recovered from, sleep and rest are not enough to completely recover from this kind of fatigue. Further, when this sort of fatigue is endured long enough it results in physical manifestation that you call disease.

To correct your energy flow the best thing is to immediately cease what you are doing the moment you notice discord of any kind. Consciously redirect your energy by instructing your energy to stay with you and flow harmoniously through you. Then intend to create harmony, whatever the situation is.

Once your energy is stabilized (this may take seconds to minutes) re-enter the arena of your life and go forth always maintaining the best possible outlook and mental attitude. (And yes, we know that some of you will need to stop hundreds of times a day–just do your best.) Solve each problem that arises within your day the best way you can think of at the time.

Over time, this approach will have the long-term effect of creating more harmony in your life. Harmony includes more enjoyable activities and fewer disagreeable activities. Thus your energy will flow more robustly and with greater ease. You will notice having more time to pursue the things you enjoy and more often feeling fatigued in a good way. The sort of fatigued that rest and sleep will cure.

Are you aware that it is possible to enjoy every moment of your life?

Allow for the possibility that life is designed to be enjoyable, fulfilling and satisfying. Let’s see what happens when you simply open the door of possibility….

Question:  What is the best way to attract success?

Higgins:  The best way to attract success is to stop thinking about attracting success. Focus instead upon the activities you are involved in now.  Are they things you enjoy? We’ll tell you that overall they are not because if you enjoyed all your time in the now then you would have achieved a measure of your sense of success already.

Success is the by-product of a life well-lived so start identifying ways to improve every moment, every now.  Success will follow without ever thinking about success directly.

Question:  Envisioning what I want sometimes brings frustration because it seems impossible to achieve.  How do I get there from here?

Higgins:  Take smaller steps.  Envision what you want then see how many ways you can make where you are more like where you want to be.

Offering from Higgins:

Life is supposed to be fun and if you are not having fun then you might like to relax first, come to peace with where you are, and then set your intent on moving gently and inexorably towards a life that is fun.

Offering from Higgins:

Relax.

Once you are at ease with where you find yourself in life, take stock of  your life as it is and move on from there. Spend no time wishing you were somewhere else. That will only slow your progress.

Question:  I dream big but the realization of those dreams seems impossible or at best so very far away. How do I get closer to my dream?

Higgins:  Take the small steps.

Offering from Higgins:

If you can think it up it can be done. There is nothing that cannot be achieved. Reach for your greatest happiness. Strive to achieve what seems impossible. There is nothing that you cannot do.

Allow yourself plenty of time, keep a relaxed pace and you shall be rewarded by a life filled with satisfaction and pleasure.

Offering from Higgins:

We’ve noticed something about a few of you.  This is a generalization and if it doesn’t fit you then it isn’t meant for you.  Skip it.

As you practice putting our wisdom into action we’ve noticed that you have isolated a big dream.  What we mean by that is you’ve identified a goal, a large goal, something you really want. Then you sit back and wait for that thing to appear all in one fell swoop.  It probably won’t.

Your dream is yours if you will hold to it but you must make forward movement.  You must take whatever small steps present and you must do so consistently over time.

Consistent small steps over time will produce the desired outcome but the desired outcome will not arrive if you sit on the couch watching TV waiting for it to arrive.

There is some do involved in creating in this physical place.
