Expecting "end results" - such as wealth and abundance, health and harmony, friends and laughter - in broad brushstrokes, is part of the secret formula, John, for manifesting the life of your dreams.
Expecting your path to follow a certain route - such as writing a bestseller to accumulate wealth, having a particular someone fall in love with you, or insisting upon this idea, that diet, or the other invention to be your deliverance - is just plain messing with the cursed hows and severely limits my options.
Cool?
