How can I release the "HOWS"?

Q: How can I let go of the "how" and also "do what I can".
How do I do what I can? 


A: Let's say you want to live in wealth and abundance. Immediately, your mind will begin thinking about HOW you're going to get there.  Based on your gifts, talents, or education, you may arrive at a few possible approaches, such as writing a best seller, winning the lottery, or climbing the corporate ladder. Now, while each of these 3 ways may yield wealth, the Universe knows many, many other ways. It also knows "things" you don't know, such as the likely direction of the economy, gifts of yours that you've not yet tapped, and who else out there might be well served by your dreams fruition, and thus a become an able companion/helper/partner for you in this quest, yet if you insist on your own very limited notions, not only will you shut out the other possibilities known by the Universe, but you will likely put undo pressure upon your gifts and talents, forcing them to be the bringer of your gifts. For instance if you enjoy writing, one sure way to begin HATING IT (and thus doing it very poorly), is to saddle your writing gift with the unnecessary burden of creating your wealth! Why do that? Write because you love to write, and chances are it will please others as well. These are the cursed HOW'S.

Still, you must do more than just dream of the end result. You must move with your dreams. You must live. How? By "doing what you can", all that you can, but not defining those actions as "the way" in which your dream will come true.

For example, you want wealth. First, define the end result in your mind or on paper, clearly create your goal, and understand your intent. Second, begin where you are today, addressing what's "on your plate", and deciding your next steps by doing what you can via following your new hunches, instincts and desires (which are all gifts from the Universe, hardly accidental(!), who already knows all about your dream thanks to your previously getting clear on it). 

Doing what you can is generally more immediate, here and now kind of stuff, but often people disregard these urges because they seem so futile in delivering the big bucks (keeping with the same example). The trick is this, realizing that your doing what you can is HOW YOU ENGAGE and inspire the Universe to do what it can on your behalf. Doing what you can is NOT how you will directly strike it rich. YOU CANNOT, through your physical acts alone, get rich, but YOU CAN get the wheels and magic of the Universe turning in your favor, and then...  you will become rich beyond your wildest dreams.

Always, there must be a faith and a recognition of the Universe and its ways. Deciding or fretting over the HOW'S negates any such beliefs, whereas doing what you can, reinforces and demonstrates such faith, faith that you will be met half way.
