People, don't use this as a reason to be lazy. Be optimistic and proactive but don't burn yourself out or try to "force" results.

[@KhaPiano]

Yep there’s a concept in the Bhagavad Gita that proposes that you can plant seeds but you should not feel entitled to those seeds bearing fruit. All we’re entitled to are the seeds themselves. So keep planting seeds without expectations and without forcing them to grow like pulling them out of the ground. And in the end, by chance, there may end up being fruit.

Which is it, then? You say to not be lazy, and then you say to not 'force results'. Pick one.

This works even for the desire to be in a relationship. When you put the desire for being in a relationship front and center, and deem it an absolute necessity , its either you dont find someone or you find someone who makes your life a living hell. Like someone mentioned earlier, its not about having a devil may care attitude, but understanding that efforts can be spread, and some things are beyond your control. Do what you can and go with the flow.

Amazing video, as a Chinese, I would like to expand the sage's story a little bit. Ancient Chinese believe that, a person's wisdom can only be unlocked once the person is 100% calm and peaceful ( We say "no any trivial thoughts in the heart"). Most of the time, people cannot be 100% inner peaceful because they care/worry about the results. The more you care, the less peaceful in your heart, then the less wisdom you can unlock, the more stupid mistakes you will make. People in ancient China will spend sometime to meditate to vacuum the heart before reading books or studying. I also practice when I read textbook or start doing assignments in the college, which is really helpful.

Sometimes the reverse is also true. I passed an exam with high grades because I was so scared I couldn't sleep the night before.

This has also been discussed in the metaphysical sphere, especially by spiritual teachers such as Neville Goddard. They claim that when you try to force results, you're operating from a state of lack and therefore creating more resistance. Only when you let go of the pressure or strong desire of needing something ASAP can you actually move forward. I love how all of these teachings are linked.

[@amdiary7]

[@indyd9322]

[@satyajitrajbanshi3620]

I know that.. But Neville Goddard also told to imagine the thing that you want to be pretended as if you are already having it.. In that sense this is contradicting.. Because you're constantly in belief of the outcome as present though it's not

[@ifkipling219]

Yup! I was thinking about how a lot of these teachings say to believe in it happening for you but don't worry about the 'how'. The universe will take care of that part 😊

[@believe.receive]

@satyajitrajbanshi3620 Yup, absolutely true. But he also taught people to detach themselves from the outcome in the 3D and not check every second. So there are definitely some parallels. Neville definitely takes it to a new level and that's why I love his teachings ❤️

Stop worrying and just take baby steps with actions you know you should. You'd be surprised how quickly those baby steps add up. Example: you need to write a paper. Don't set out to write the paper.

As the writer and creator of a weekly digital self-improvement newsletter, I couldn't agree more. In my welcome email I reference this exact message, "life is inspiration for ideas, which means that in order to write about one’s life, one must live first. As such, you can expect to receive an essay once a week or so, with the occasional extended period if life takes priority. But just know, if I’m busy living and not writing, something good is coming your way." Without living first, I have little to write about, and often the busier I am, the more focused on other things I am, the easier it is to come up with new and relevant topics for my newsletter.

I remember being concerned, in particular, about a Shakespeare class. I didn’t want to go over well-trod ground that would bore the professor. I thought about it, but wanted a creative approach.

After a while, when I wasn't even thinking about getting a job anymore... BOOM! I got a call from a recruiter, had an interview, and just like that, I had a job.

This video is exactly what i needed. I was continually failing from a year now not knowing what's the cause i put all of my work in a task study a lot but at the end i never get the result instead i fail at it completely which made me looked dumb. And that's why i stopped caring and stopped doing hard work or putting any effort at all. This video taught me so many things and make me realise exactly where i was wrong. Thanks a lot

[@elysianfields1671]

Let’s not confuse letting go with not giving a damn and abandoning it. Sometimes you just need to put too much pressure.

[@damonteforney8076]

To me, this basically says, "Trust the process." Don't be concerned about what has been or what will be. I usually refer to this as resting because when we rest, we realize that everything isn't in our control. Somethings have to happen for us to get to where we should. We never know what the future holds but it doesn't mean we shouldn't have faith. Faith is the essence of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

[@igoretski]

Another way to put this law (especially for creative people like writers) is: We can't force good ideas with our rational mind and reason. Good ideas come from subtle energies like Intuition, Inspiration, Ressonance, higher senses and from our unconscious. In order to get in contact with that, we have to let go, relax, meditate and trust. We have to switch off the rational mind.

I think this works for mental &emotional limitations and anxiety, but for physical results, you need to care about the outcome .physical results require hardwork and determination

[@jonasgord695]

Once you stop caring is because you’re not interested or don’t need the thing anymore. So when it comes, it is too late and it only brings confusion and doubt. The universe is sadistic and sarcastic. It will make things easy for you when they are not needed anymore. I have lived this fact many, many times.

[@ladyspellbreaker1313]

I once was way too careFULL. It takes great courage to become careLESS. It’s a journey that acts of faith through the process of letting go. You wouldn’t believe how much is manifesting since I stopped caring about saving the world and put all my energy into healing and saving myself. I have faith the Universe knows exactly what everyone NEEDS and will deliver in Divine time.

Thank you so much for this. I started wondering why I could no longer write as artistically as before. Now I realized that it was because I was used to being showered with praises for it which led me to become a little arrogant. And the more I got arrogant, the more that I lost the recognition that I loved. And the more that I lost it, the more that I starved for it. And finally, the more that I starved for it, the harder I tried to force my ideas to come out. For weeks, it didn't work so I began brushing it aside and making dull excuses like me no longer at my prime but this video helped explain everything. Words could never express how grateful I am.

[@TheMightyPika]

John Cleese once said in his book On Creativity that the creative drive is like eating. You get a delicious forkful of ideas and then it goes away, but that's ok. That's just the fork returning to your plate to get more. Just be patient and stop trying to eat an empty fork - let it get to the food first.

Willpower (effort) is important for me. I am using it to overcome a fear. If I just wait for the fear to go away on its own, it does not work. By making efforts daily to overcome the fear, I am seeing great progress. Action and willpower are what will change my life. Positive thinking (affirmations, visualization, etc.) has never worked for me, and I did it for more than ten years. By using willpower (effort) I am seeing self-improvement within days. So I have stopped positive thinking, and now rely on willpower (effort) to become who I want to be. Do what works for you.

[@horseheadkid]

there is a series of books called The Inner Game of... then a sport, like The Inner Game of Tennis, or of golf, etc. I dont play sport but when i was playing classical guitar i read The Inner Game of Music. those books are about shutting your mind off and letting yourself play instead of getting in your own way by stressing about it. it was life changing for me as a musician. it's the same stuff as in this vid but from a slightly different angle. aside from those books, there is also a law i love reminding people of; the law of diminishing returns. that's the most important law for people to wrap their heads around in 2023.

[@astarpery6260]

thanks for the comment, I'm going to check that Inner Game of Music book out. Just started playing guitar again after stopping a few years ago - stopping due to stressing myself out from pressuring myself. It stopped being fun....impeccable timing.

[@zig8925]

I definitely know this to be true in social situations. I've had periods of my life where I've been working hard, not doing that many social things. Then when it came to being social I'd over-think it quite a bit. I would plan what to say and ask about, which is a big mistake. If you just relax and tell yourself to take it as it comes, things become a lot easier. Same thing when you start a new job or school. And most importantly, the less effort and attention you give women, the more attention they'll give you, if they like you.

[@kartikverma8389]

Wonderful video brother. I have always wondered about this since I was a kid. Everytime I would run after something I want, it would always run further away from me. Thinking about results always leads to panic. As you mentioned in the video, its the process that matters the most. The result will naturally come and even if they don't, we had a far better chance this way then worrying about them and panicking. Thank you for the video.

[@Klay_Dubya]

I take this to be "if you stop focusing on the results you can focus on the practice, the work, relaxing, and your life." Which allows you to get the results. Being hellbent only on seeing the result through can cripple you or at least leave you at the end of a road without having celebrated any of it until then.

This tactic works for me in my Enterprise sales as well. I have an abundance mentality and have already hit my yearly quota at 120%. I wake up and actually do other things for my side hustle and boom a great lead just comes in so I have to work it lol. It also helps come across to my clients as confident and not needing a sale but actually helping them make a good buying decision and tell them upfront we may not be a fit. They actually help me close them as say no no you have what we needed to solve our problem. 😊

Thats why its so important to seperate yourself from thoughts and the ego. Sit silently for 10mins a day without trying to control your thoughts. Not trying to pick out the good ones and let the bad ones go. But allow all your thoughts to happen and observe them. You are not your thoughts. You cannot control them, so let them happen and become the observer. Its amazing how much your life changes when you seperate yourself from the ego and let life happen without focusing on the past or the future. I learned this technique from Jesse Lee Peterson believe it or not. Its a Christian practice to become close to God. Without being in the world. Good luck, and God bless all those reading this.

This and the two other videos (backward law, law of reversed effect) are priceless, even though the three videos discuss the same central idea, they are so important for human beings and more than worth it. Great great job!

The simplest way to put this is “don't think, just do.” without thinking about results so you don't flood your mind with unnecessary nerves and anxiety. So you put in effort, it's just unconscious and feels effortless because you're not thinking, “I have to do it this way or use this technique.”

@@AlexReynard The people above me are a rotating door. There hasn’t been a single person in that role long enough to hold the position from me. I will say, the boss in the current role told me some “facts” about holding someone from moving to another side of our company. This was “ definitive and to remain between us”. They never did hold that individual. They leaked this information to me to see if I would leak it to others. That’s a real mind fuck. Deliberately leaking information to someone to see if it spreads is crazy. I didn’t spread it but kept watching to see if that person was in fact getting held with us.

Under what circumstances would we think it's *good* for a human to set up a situation where they make people want something, then punish them for trying to get it, and reward them when they stop? And if we would look down on a human who'd do that to other humans, why are we at peace with God (or whoever designed all of this) doing it to us?

Regarding The Mental Control Paradox . . . . Along with these philosophy teachings I have been studying Spiritual Growth /Awareness vids suggesting the importance of loving others......but the more I TRY to feel love/compasion for the difficult people in my life it seems the initial feelings of kindness/patience are SOON replaced by the negative emotions/reactions. Sometimes the hate I feel even seems to INTENSIFY the more I try to think loving thoughts. Guess my answer is to just let go of these troublesome upheavals. To NOT CARE about the distress these jerks cause me. . . .and LET IT BE. easier said than done 😢.
