Dear Reader ,

How often do you set goals for yourself at work or at home? And how often do you meet them?

Lose 10 pounds. Call mom every Sunday. Create and execute a new training program in the next 4 weeks.

For me there's usually a push around goals - this feeling of lack or not good enough that I'm starting with - something I need to fix or change. And when I start with lack it's much less likely I'm going to end with fulfillment. There's an energy of avoidance that comes up for me when I think about goals - like engaging in working towards them is acknowledging a lack I feel within myself. And that's bloody obnoxious. I end up on one of two extremes - either avoiding and giving up the goal all together OR working myself to the bone pushing and forcing - not enjoying the process one little bit.

Desires are a whole other world.

When we tap into our desires we tap into expansion and joy, possibility and love for what is and for what's possible.

I dare you to take a look at your current goals. What's the desire that's underneath them?

You'll know you've found it when it feels delightful, pure, and your body responds in a positive way.

I challenge you to throw away the goal and follow the desire. Tap into those things that bring you higher and follow what turns you on as you journey forward. The expansion and joy of a turned on body is like a magnet for your desires - pulling them towards you.

I desire that for you. The expansive notion of what's possible. Finding the little details along the way that light you up - letting you know you're on the path to your desire. That it's moving towards you as you align more and more with its energy.

Draw those desires towards you my love. Such a different experience than trudging up the next hill towards a goal.

Love and Juice,

Corey Blake
