Forcing things is fear-based

Forcing things rather that letting them unfold is fear-based. When I forced the issue with Sam saying I better hear back soon, it was due to the fear that I would not find a new job. I was hanging out there and vulnerable. It is not that different than the fear in a courtship, when I expose that I like her and you do not know whether she likes me in return yet. When I let things unfold, they can develop naturally. When I force things the are contrived and limited.

So what is the nature of my fear? Do I not trust that God, Spirit, the Universe will provide a new doorway? Maybe a little. But this is about not trusting myself. I have gone out on a limb business-wise a few times this past year and it did not lead to an abundant, profitable place. What if my new vision is another one of those. My fear says I better force it and make sure that I don't end up there again.

So why did my recent venture not lead to fruition. They were not things that I was truly passionate about and not things that I could be the best in the world at- to borrow from Good to Great by Jim Collins. So if I create something in harmony with those things, it ought to unfold, develop, and prosper. So I will let things unfold, even though it is scary.
