| Let Go of Your Dream |

The Universal Mind is the part of you that drives you on. Your intent to do something, is what gives you energy. Intentions breed desire. You cannot have success without a clear desire to pay the price success demands. Therefore, once you have laid out your intentions and placed them in the Universal Mind, you will have the desire to carry it out to the completion. It is only when you get confused that your goals become muddied and you cannot see the end results. If you are not focused on what you want to accomplish, you will have difficulty doing the simple things that will get you there. If you are not sure which mountain you want to climb, you will not be able to choose the right trail. All sorts of evil will befall the one who is on the wrong trail.
Since you are striving for something that is basically beyond your comprehension and ability, you cannot trust yourself to do all the right things to get you there. When I decided I wanted to be a world class player, I certainly could not understand what it meant to be world class. That was something beyond my comprehension. Still, I wanted to get there. This is why I needed to turn this goal over to the Universal Mind. Once I turned the end results over to a power greater than myself, I had the energy to get about the task of getting there. I
had a student who wanted to play at the world class level. The first
thing we worked on was the four strokes of pool. She did not understand
why I was paying so much attention to this fundamental approach to
pocket billiards. Later, as she developed her game, she realized that
this was the right way to reach the goals she had set for herself. She
set the goals, turned it over to a power greater than herself, (me) and
went about the work that was assigned to her.
There is no
real glamour in the climb to the top. The glamour only comes when you
reach the summit. On your way to world class level you must work on the
fundamentals until they become a part of you and with each growth
spurt, you move closer to your goals. Begin with the end in mind, and
then turn it over to a power greater than yourself. Work on your trust
skills, knowing full well, that you will arrive at the top. Read and re
read and work and re work on The Lesson material, mastering each
lesson, and you will burst through to the level of play you have been
dreaming about. Never let the vision get fuzzied by confusion. Know you
are on the right road and stay the course until you reach to top, May
all The Rolls Go Your Way.
