When you are nonresistant toward the vision of what you want, your vision runs to meet you. You seldom win until you become willing to do without the prize. Unity writer, Imelda Shanklin, said in her book, WHAT ARE YOU: "Say to whatever seems worth having: ‘If you do not want me as much as I want you, I do not want you at all. I can do without you and sorrow not; but I will welcome you if you come. Take your choice. It does not matter to me."

This may sound strange after you have spent time and energy creating your life vision. Our world seems to focus on doing and on making it happen. We believe that we have to fight for what we want. The details of your vision are effects. The cause of your effects is in your mind. If you are thinking and feeling that you must have something in order to be joyful, then you are looking to that something as your source. You are thinking that certain details in your life will make you happy. If you focus on the effects you push them away. If you focus on the cause--your true Source, your joy, your inner prosperity and well being--you attract your material desires.

Material things come and go. They are transient. Your connection to your Source is forever. It will serve you now; it will serve you always. Therefore, the details really don't matter. What matters is how you feel. Are you feeling joy? Are you feeling connected to your Source? Are you feeling in the flow? You may be tempted to think that things must be a certain way in order for you to be happy. You really don't know. You don't know how things should work out. You know how you feel and you know how you want to feel. Take your mind off what you want and place it on feeling good. Place it on loving yourself, your God, and your life. Allow yourself to be at peace.

Other people do not have to be a certain way for you to be happy. Certain deals don't have to go through in order for you to feel joy. Nothing has to happen outside of you. It all happens inside of you. Respond to life with acceptance and love. Let go of any attachment to specific results. This is the strength we call nonresistance. Nonresistance means that when the deal falls through, you are happy for the experience. Nonresistance means that when another vehicle smashes your car, you let go of anger and upset. Instead you are looking at what opportunities this "accident" presents for you. You are grateful for the new lives you get to touch as a result. Non resistance is when you refuse to personalize the insults flung at you by another. Since you didn't "catch" them, they really aren't insults at all.

Nonresistance means that you really don't care if this customer buys your product. You care about the customer and how you can serve. If he walks away, you are grateful you did not sell him something he can't use. If he buys, you are grateful you helped another human being. Nonresistance doesn't mean pretending you don't care about the results. Nonresistance means not attaching your well-being to results. Your well-being comes from within you. Know it and feel it. This is cause. Sooner or later you will see positive results in your world. This is the effect.
