Hi Chris….Yes….I loved your video and just recently had an experience – hitting the wall. Story is I had a bad accident 4 yrs ago, had to ‘fight’ to get treatment, after 3 yrs got a knee replacement but now the other one needs doing. Struggling to keep my job and home…..appeals for benefit failed, tried again failed, got an appeal hearing-it got cancelled. Finally just gave up on it. Bureacracy beat me, no way forward….suddenly out of the blue it was reinstated…..maybe it will still fail but am going to give it one more try, having been given another chance to get help…..but only after my stubbornness wore out and I released myself from it’s hold.
I would love to be wise enough to know where the Flow is going nd how to stay in it…..still figuring out why this event all came into being but am learning lots along the way and I have more affinity with those struck down by debilitating conditions and of course the joys in life are increased many times over, having struggled for a while.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, via the video and the stories on your website.
May all your days be blessed. Jane in England

@Chris Cade,
Hi Chris….it went well……..positively in my favour and I was awarded the benefit and it has paved the way for further assistance too. Yay!
The lesson is …how to reduce/eliminate that ‘fretful’ state of mind that creates such anxiety within. Still working on that….but great to have had the lesson and come through positively so that FAITH IS restored and hopefully, imprinted within.
Best wishes from Jane

I don’t know when to continue pushing something and when surrender, let go..

Francois,
I’m still learning that too
In my experience, however, when I close my mind to other possibilities then I am not even able to surrender… and that’s where the problems occur.
I find that if I’m *always* open enough to consider surrender, then it’s ok for me to continue pushing and moving in a certain direction.
For me, the key to it all is willingness… openness.

@Chris Cade,
Hi Chris,
My name is maria. I’m 49 yr young! I enjoyed what you have to say about willingness. I’ve been open to learn everything I can for the better of me put keep hitting blocks. Don’t really know what it is but think it has to do with money . I’ve worked all my life and always enjoyed people and helping them in some way. I know what I want thats not my problem just getting there has been it . I have a very giving heart and everything I want is mostly for others in my life . I want to make a differents in peoples lifes not just do things to benefit mine but really impacked others in a way they live better by what I’ve given them . I think people come into your life for a reason either to learn from them or you need to give them something you learned . I don’t know if you understand where I’m oming from but i just going with it . My passion is people my love for them and my willingness to help think if I had more I’d give more . I sometimes give of my energy that I’m drained from it .
Thanks for reading
Maria

Hi, Chris…
Your video came at the right time, as I am struggling to start my doctoral dissertation, helping me to move from will-fullness to willingness. This is a very insightful and relevant video for many of us today. Congratulations for this work. I am looking forward to some other videos to come.

oh, my, what an answer to what’s been going on with me lately. Thank you, Chris. Let the day and the content and the format unfold, let it happen, rather than force it into a design that I, ego, thought it should…. Your video is just terrific with the birds and kids’ voices in the background, just DOING it, means so much to me. I’ve been so afraid to go public with content I can create to give value to others. It’s becoming more and more impossible NOT to just do it! Willingness is kicking in, rather than willfulness to wait til “things get lined up”. Glad I stopped by today. Best for now, Mary

You know what’s funny about my video? At one point, in addition to the birds and the kids… you can hear the cat speeding past me on the ground!
That totally cracked me up and almost distracted me from being present with the content… this feline just racing towards me and turning at the last minute – a feline that nobody would see but me, hehe…
but if you listen carefully somewhere in the 2nd half of the video, you can actually hear the cat speed past me

Hi Chris. Being hard headed has worked out well in some aspects of my life, lead to an great career in just an few short (well 8 anyway) years from completely green to the highest job in my profession. Even was able to gain custody of my kid taking him out of an very bad situation….in Texas the man almost never gets the kid, no matter what environment the mother has them in.
Only recently have I been in “the place” to even think there might be something to the other will you talk about here. Still an little confused. If to reach success one must have an burning desire for that success tied with strong emotion/belief and then drive ahead for what you want..I need an better understanding of the second “will” you talk about, how do you keep it from knocking you off track? Thanks for making me think, John.

Chris Cade Reply:
September 8th, 2009 at 2:10 pm
John,
I can relate COMPLETELY to what you’re saying. I’ve had some amazing successes in my life because I was so darn stubborn that I wouldn’t let anything get in my way.
Only in recent years am I beginning to explore the other side of this – to find some balance between the willful and the willing… to be open to the fact that sometimes when I become stubborn I close myself off to other options that might be even better for me.
For me the willfulness is the sense that I have a “track” and I better stick to it… because MY track is the only way that something is going to happen.
When I shift into willingness, then it’s more about I have “a track” that I think is right, but that sometimes life may show me another track… that although it’s not what I wanted or expected, it might be perfect, even better than the previous track I was on.
So it’s less for me about getting “knocked off track” and more about seeing my track as more like a compass and general direction.
This is all just for starters though… it goes deeper. And as my understanding of this deepens, I look forward to sharing more.
Similarly, if your understanding deepens, I look forward to hearing more from you about it as well.

Hi Chris,
Thank You for sharing once again and again.
Simply what I have noticed with you is when getting into the search to find what and where I am going, you are a delightful reminder that there is more to reflect, always and ever:o).
I came to Reno for lower cost of living and to be close to a natural health care practitioner I had been introduced to. A few of us were going to start a Bed and Breakfast, where her clients would come stay
and I being a nurse was into a mind expansion of wanting to fulfill dreams of having a family camp, the B&B, seminars (I was quite the seminar junkie, loving presentations filled with knowledge and ideas; need 30 hours of continued eds every 2 years for my nursing recertifications). Thinking ALL would be wonderful, endless possibilities…the Doctor we cherished, died in October after winning the humanitarian award at the September Cancer Prevention Society Annual Conference; getting work here for me was challenging,
lower population, and more rural standards versus larger metropolitan
agencies growing continuously, and then the economy.
I did manage to work for two hospice agencies, one a small Ma and Pa shop…worked for them about a year…the first agency I worked for has now been taken over by a much larger company; “trying” to reconnect with them since they asked me not to leave when I did…has been one of those experiences where ads in the paper were not valid, they didnt get my application online, leaving messages for the boss went unheeded…going off to redo my resume one morning I pulled right behind the boss (her name on her license plate) I followed her right to work since the office I was headed to was in the same complex. Well we are in contact now, with numerous other balls bouncing like in what the bleep do I know. I have been overwhelmed with endless possibilities, whilst I have gone bankrupt and have to move from the small little room I have been renting, and have become the most dysfunctional I have ever been.
When I was working, I would win major at Keno just for fun…
I returned to Science of Mind because I need fellowship and I remember miracles of instantaneous healings I had with them in years gone by before life was AS COMPLEX as it has become. And winning at Keno still happens when I have some money to play, but there are times I play more than I win…and have the conflict of feeling that the universe is abundant and I should act like I have it…and my dream of working with people of like heart and mind is happening to nothing is panning out, and my isolationism and despair are vying for my souls energy. I stop and ask for help…thank you for the reminder and the encouragement. In packing or going through a life-time of stuff, saving what for who…I keep coming across a little note-book journal I wrote in 1968: quotes from Hamlet and Polonius, this above all to thine own self be true…and my own doodlings NOWHERE (confusion) Now Here…what is day or night in the Light of Darkness;at times I hear the Wayne Dyers words today, reflections of my thoughts of 30 years gone by; Miracles have given me joy in connection with the Universe, and I ask daily now for the discernment of saving what for who, and the guidance for my next move, my next place to be…as I have all along the way in lifes journey. Daily reminders now come more regularly and I notice faith seems more with me now here. Nowhere is without faith…Semantically speaking:o) When I spoke like this in years gone by people thought me nuts…hahahaha. I may have made a mint doing the Almond Joy commercial. Thanks again Chris, Fondly Laura

Thanks for sharing video on Will. I have one question though. When you want to make something to happen and it doesn’t happen then you are unhappy right? Ok we can let go of it and let the nature (or God)to guide us for the solution. My question is how much you wait to the thing to happen? You want to be financially free or have an inspiring career or a successful relationship – what indicates that you should wait for 1 month, 2 months or a year. I am deciding to find out what career to pursue and I can’t seems to make up my mind. Besides, relatives, friends and economy and other factors play a crucial part too. Can you give me your feedback? Thanks. – M & M

Chris Cade Reply:
September 8th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
M&M,
You present an interesting challenge, and also a common misunderstanding about will.
Will doesn’t necessarily mean ‘doing nothing,’ but rather, it means ‘not always assuming that your way is the right and only way.’
While I can’t speak about your specific situation, perhaps my own experience will help:
When there is something I want, I take action to get it. If I want financial freedom (which I do), then I have to first do something… make a website… invite people to it. Make something available for sale, or offer advertising, or offer personal coaching.
To start a business, I must have the tools AND a way to transform the value I offer into monetary compensation.
So I take action.
However, along this path of entrepreneurship I have had many challenges. For example, I didn’t want to ever write a printed book. It just wasn’t something I was interested in.
THEN, last year I was on a business trip with my previous employer, and I woke up one morning and just “knew” (intuition) that I was going to be a best-selling author.
This was confusing for me because I didn’t even want to write a printed book! But I trusted my intuition and just decided to ‘wait and see.’
Then a few weeks later, a publishing agent asks me if he can represent my work. Keep in mind, I didn’t have any work to represent! I didn’t even have a book, but he wanted to represent me.
So we talked, I reviewed the contracts, and agreed to work with him. Shortly after that, I began writing my first book, and completed my manuscript.
And just a few weeks ago he started sending it out to publishers.
So why do I share this?
My GOAL is to be of service and to earn income by being of service. That is my “direction.”
If I had been willFUL, then I would have ignored the agent and said “Well that’s nice, but since I don’t want to be a printed author I don’t think we should work together.”
Instead, I was willING, and as a result I now have a completed manuscript and will publish my book sometime in the next year or so (even if I have to self-publish).
So that’s one story of mine about willFUL and willING.
My advice: Take action towards your dreams and see what happens. If you aren’t getting what you want, if it’s not working, ask for help… be willing to have somebody else or something else show you a new direction – that still will get you to your goal – to what you want – just maybe not the way you had originally planned to get there.

Dear Chris
Every single time when i watch and listen to any of your videos I am again reminded of one or other fairy tale that speaks in symbols about what you are putting into mundane here and now speak. Oh, the Shrek story is full of it, too. Do you know any Grimm’s or other fairy tales (originals, not disneyfied stuff?) With the willfulness/willingness theme any of the ‘three brothers/dummling’ fairy tales come to my mind like the ‘white snake’ or ‘the water of life’. The two elder brothers invariably end up ’stuck’ somewhere because they insist on doing it along their conditioned willful ways. The youngest, dumb brother muddles through, listens to animals, makes bad mistakes that work out to his advantage eventually and in the end, through some help of his friends he wins the kingdom.
Yesterday I was involved in quite a ‘dragon fight’ in my own life. A nine headed dragon had to be slayed and I had to cut out the tongues from the cut off heads to claim that I was the true hero. – Relating it like this may sound a little weird but that is what it was in symbol speak. In mundane speak it was a very long therapeutic session to get an emotional grip on a tragic and chaotic situation at my workplace.
The donkey is awesome in his ability to interpret any situation in a positive light. He is my model.

Ever noticed: 1. When you’re banging your head against a brick wall if you can remember to stop, take a deep breath and back off, sometimes you realize you can just stroll around the wall. 2. If you do manage to bulldoze your way through the wall, well… the joy just goes out of it- it’s not fun anymore.

Thank you for this video. It comes at a good time for me.
I liked what you had to say about writing. I have experienced the flow myself. In fact, my manuscript was written in four weeks. It just came pouring out. My challenge right now is finding an agent and publisher for my book. I’ve queried my fingers to the bone and been rejected a gazillion times. I’ve redone my query letter more times than I care to admit, but I am still hitting a brick wall. How do I get past that? I know my story will sell, but how can I convince someone else it will?
When I tried to force the book out of me, it would not come. When I let it flow naturally, it poured out. I don’t know how to make the priciple apply to getting it sold.
Any suggestions?

Chris Cade Reply:
September 9th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Trina – if you’re certain it will sell, then self-publish and hire Hasmark Services to do a book launch for you.
Strict dollar-for-dollar, self-publishing now is more profitable than traditional publishing.
That’s not to say there aren’t significant benefits from traditional publishing, such as more social recognition, larger reach, deeper connections in the publishing and speaking industries, and the opportunity for advances…
However, self-publishing doesn’t have nearly the same stigma, nor barriers to entry, as it once did.
On a related note, my agent is currently taking my book to some publishers. I also know it will sell; however, my book may be ‘ahead of its time’ for some of the larger publishers to consider it.
Therefore, we’re only taking it to 5 publishers. If it gets rejected, then I’m going to self-publish to get the attention of a larger publisher… I want my book to be in the hands of congregation and spiritual leaders worldwide, and I know a publisher can help me with that reach in ways that I personally would have difficulty with.

@Chris Cade, Thanx for the advice. I self published a book in 2007, but it hasn’t done very well. I think it is geared toward too specific of a market. Poetry.
Does Hasmark do any offline promotions? Do they do the work, or do they just tell you what to do?

Surely God really answer me in many ways. Currently i am the president of the Student Council in our College. I gound out that the administrattion is not that cooperative with me. From July up to this day we cannot launch any project because of the so-called “technicalities”. I give up! Im so fed up with their sermons. I know i have responsibilities but i rather go on with school life peacefully. i want to resign… not until i browse the internet for e-mail messages and then boom! an answer came in…. i surrender to the Orchestrator of my life. My God! Thanks for enlightening my mind. Pray for me please. I really want to be of serviice to others. I am WILLING to sitdown and think about it.

Whoa I have a lot to think about!!! I was hurt badly 10 years ago in a head on collision (broken neck/broken low back) Four years later…(OR… 6 years ago) My husband walked out for another woman and a more ‘FUN’ life. Since I have had 3 surgeries.. neck and low back posted/plated and fused. Still have bad nerve damage PAIN all the time. Up until the accident I felt like I was a ‘manifester’. Had a plan… could ‘FEEL’ it in my heart… owned it.. and watched it unfold. BUT since this last turn of events I seem to have lost my power/way??? I’ve danced as fast as possible to support our two sons..keep the family home going etc. Now the ‘boys’ are 19 & 22.
I’m not sure HOW I can support my broken self??? Got one little job so far and it makes me feel wonderful to serve again BUT not making enough money to support myself yet??? Don’t know what to do!!!

Kathi,
Perhaps now is the time to start writing your experiences, and the lessons learned, so that others may benefit…
And as a consequence of that, perhaps it may inspire you to find ways to earn income from that writing and service in addition to your job.
That’s one possibility.
Another one is my next video on Friday may spur a few ideas – not specific ideas – but concepts you might be able to bring back and apply in your own endeavors to move forward in your life story.

September 8th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Hi Chris
I think the difference between willfulness and willingness is whether you are attached to the outcome. I signed a job posting last year. The plant manager said “You’re not getting it”. I said “I am just showing a willingness to that job”. I wasn’t attached to the outcome. I could have tried to force the issue but I didn’t. I just expressed a willingness to do the job. I got the job. No struggle….. No emotional upheaval…..just signed the posting and let the situation resolve itself. Life is so much easier if you learn to be less attached to outcomes. Just take steps towards what you want and enjoy what unfolds in your life.

Hi Chris,
I just felt an impulse or willingness to share an event that took place just yesterday
My husband and I have been putting out to the universe that we desired a move interstate, however, it seemed that it would cause a great financial loss and great upheaval. So we have been in a mindset of pushing hard in our mainstream lives to finish renovations etc.
…Long story condenced,…we finally let go just yesterday morning & both felt it was time to let go & surrender to living a more authentic life…and
lo and behold, last night I received a phone call from a lady who owns a big property near the ocean & is currently looking for some caretakers to live there for FREE!…
Not only that, but we also instantly had people ready and willing to move in and rent our place enabling ALL of our desires to manifest in a way almost unimaginable to us
Anyway, much love to you & good on you for doing what your innermost part calls you to do & I just wanted to say you’re absolutely spot on when you encourage us all to let go of willfullness & embrace willingness!
Thank You

Thank you for your feedback – if you’ve watched my video on Conflict (also on this blog), then I’m sure it’ll be no surprise that I welcome your words here.
I cannot lay claim to having new ideas – only that my words and approach resonate more strongly with some people.
Sometimes what makes a difference is not what is being said, but rather who is saying it and how they are saying it.

Thank you for the video. Your presentation i enjoyed by its simplicity. People more into spirituality will understand as, living the Now, accepting what unfolds in your world and refrain from judgement, letting go of expectations, be grateful of the gifts (lesson) brought forth, learn from it, share it by being your authentic self.
I agree also, on going with the flow not be in resistance(ego= edging God out(wayne dyer)).We are rivers.(well 70% of our body being water)
Enjoy your day and remember , you are a co-creator of your universe and the whole universe.

Hi Chris!
What a fresh new idea – thank you!
Although I have heard the concept of “letting go” many many times… it is always great to hear it expressed in a new light. Essentially that is what we are talking about, right? In order to enjoy the flow of life, we have to relax a little and loosen the grip…. we all know the old saying: “If you love something, let it go. If it comes back it will be yours forever… if it doesn’t, then it never was.” Just goes to show that these are all way old concepts that just need some tweaking in their expression so that we all “get it” in our own time… I once had a wise friend tell me that the mark of a great teacher is one who is able to rephrase a concept in different ways until all his students have understood the meaning…. unfortunately, I didn’t have many of those when I went through school!! However…. I have come across a few in my recent years of self-exploration and it seems to me that you are one of them… thanks.
I will definitely stay in touch as I would like to hear whatever else you have to share.

Trish – More coming on Friday
Another adage “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”
Perhaps the issue is never about teachers and students, but rather about partners and resonance.
“When we are ready to resonate with a message, the right partner will come along to help us find the message within ourselves.”
So long story short – yes, we are talking about many different flavors of the same thing.
Although in my own understanding, I would distinguish some between “letting go” and “willfulness.”
The line is blurry – but deep within me I feel the difference and ‘know’ the difference.
Perhaps once I can articulate this difference more clearly, it’ll make a topic for another video…

Thank you for the amazing video. I learned a lot from it.It reminded me of how stubborn I was all my life.
I was taught and raised to be stubborn and push things and I couldn’t even object otherwise I was blamed and accused of being lazy.
The fact is the more stubborn I was, the more unhappy and miserable I became. I was sad all the time and life was just a disappointing must full of obstacles and failures.
I was raised with the idea that medicine was the best job and I had to become a doctor in order to have that sense of identity and success. All my life I was a miserable person, struggling and doubting.
I read a lot searched a lot and struggled a lot to help me get over my fanatic stubborn ideas and be open to accept myself as I am with my strengths and my weaknesses.
This year I am going to begin learning what I believe I love.I am scared and at the same time excited to let myself into the unknown. I feel so light and so free from all the chains. I want to be me and I want to be open to experience willingly.
It is such an amazing journey to leave forced and unwise stubbornness behind and move towards a destination where you can mix pure willingness with a little extract of willing wilfullness.
Thank you again for the amazing video.
Ani,

Chris,
First of all, I want to say thank you for being so sincere. Sincerity is very important. Also, I want to share that I am looking for a promotion in my career. I just received my Bachelor’s degree this summer and am determined to get a salaried job. I currently work at a university and want to move up. I’ve been chanting for a job and have found the perfect one. I’ve already applied for it, but haven’t heard anything yet. I need to let go of being in control, and let the universe tell me what is right for me and be happy in the present moment, whether I get that job or not. Thanks for your encouragement and insight. Have a great week!
Appreciatively, Irene.

Hello Mr. Chris,
Wow,that was deep! ‘Willfullness’ Vs. ‘Willingness’ Vs. ‘Willfull-willingness.’
I sure can relate to everything you shared. The willingness to say, “Ok, so talk to me,” has been the hardest part.
I’m a mother of four, I’ve had humiliating/mortifying moments of having to look my kids in the face and say, “baby, Mommy just doesn’t have the income/money”… to provide even the most basic things faith is suppose to manifest. It hurts like hell to squeeze ‘1′ Christmas gift for each kid EACH year, so they will @ least have one object under the tree on Christmas morning! But what hurts more is I’m 47 now, and I’m still in the place of not being able to provide even 1 birthday gift for the ones I love so dearly.
I can admit I’m poor, but PRIDE keeps fooling me to thinking I’m RICH! Wealth is more than a feeling. I’m constantly brought to my knees with despair, but I can’t seem to STAY in the ‘Willfully-Willing’ place! At least I NOW know, because of your ‘On-Time’ video that I am in Good company!!! “Yes,” togetherness is The Way, I agree,! And although it’s just scratching the surface, again, I’m ‘Willfully-Willing’ to fall on my knees just for these crumbs-{for lack of a better term}…
‘Thanks’, for sharing your insight(s). Ms. ET- NY/DE

Hi Chris,
What you said is SO true and you put it so beautifully. ALLOWING (NOT RESISTING)….I learned it the HARD WAY. I never realized how “wilful” I could be until I became “emotionally” involved with “a man” who was emotionally unavailable, although he said all the right words but his actions did not match. I chose to listen to the words, and acted for BOTH of us. In other words, I did all the work. Wilfulness blinds us to the reality of a situation….for me, wilfulness came from fear disguised as love. This particular experience in my life (I was 48 years old at the time) “woke me up” to the fact that IF YOU HAVE TO FORCE THINGS, THEY’RE NOT MEANT TO HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. The worst part about “wilfulness” is that it makes us deaf to that “little voice” inside that is trying to point us in the right direction. It is the good advice that would save us from ourselves if we would only stop, listen and pay attention to what it is trying to tell us. Again thank you for this valuable reminder of inner wisdom.

Chris, This may sound a little off-beat, but here is an example of the letting go, and accepting help that comes your way. I am often frustrated by technical things that don’t seem to work the way I want them to. I have had several episodes where I had reached such a level that I was tied up inside. However, I would walk away, to give myself a cooling-off time, and have then gone to bed that night, only to have dreamed of the solution. Maybe it was a step I was unwittingly omitting, or not reading the correct material, anyway, it has happened quite a bit in my life that in the dream the cure to my problem was given to me. Thanks, Linda

Hello Chris,
I watched the video and so related to it.
I am 66 years of age. At birth my mother rejected me and I was raised in orphanages. I learned that to survive I had to be in control of every aspect of my life and that is how I survived the abuse of many years. I did not make friends because I trusted no one. At twenty I fell in love, but he was kiled in an accident eighteen months into the relationship. At 23 I met and married in ten days. My son was born nine months later and twelve years after that I gave birth to a daughter. Life went on and for a while all went as planned. Horror struck again when my son shot himself at 23. Unfortunately there was no support from anywhere; my husband had his own grief to cope with. My daughter, then twelve, became a herion addict. I threw myself into my work; shut everyone out. Ten years later my marriage broke. We had been married 36 years. I travelled
for three years. Now, my life has come to a stand still and I am lost. For so long I organised and planned and kept busy to kill the pain, but it is not working anymore. Like you have suggested, I have given myself over to the Universe and have asked for help; I had to let go whether I wanted to or not, or go insane. I have no purpose now, and I don’t know how to create it again. I was so busy for so long and now I have nothing to do; I have lost my drive. What can the next step be? You could say my life is empty; how can I fill it from the inside? Maybe, looking back, I forced things all along and maybe, just maybe, they were never meant to be.

Tess – thank you for sharing your story. It sounds like you have a lot to explore, and although there is much grief and pain in your past, I also am getting a sense that what you’re experiencing *now* is similar to the empty-nest feeling that is also common among monthers when all the kids are out of the house.
Filling from the inside is very difficult, and yet, your words suggest that you know it’s the only choice for you to find peace in your life.
One possibility I would consider is – what if everything that happened to you was for the sole purpose of enabling you to – now – discover how to fill yourself from the inside? Are there lessons you’ve learned from those experiences that others may learn from? If so, consider writing and sharing your story/stories with others… allow others to gain wisdom from your experiences.
Also, if you have the opportunity then spend some time alone in nature – no cell phones or distractions. Nature has a way of briging out our natural wisdom.

Hello Chris, I find it very interesting that I ended up with this video today! In a certain way it fits everything that has happened to me today. I started out having a wonderful day. Everything was falling in my direction. I had been trying for over a week now to come up with fundings for my credits in my college courses. I wanted to be able to take three classes this term instead of just to. I kept pushing and pushing my Academic Advisor and Financial Advisor about this. Today they were both able to find a way for my fundings to allow that third class. I accomplished all the tasks that were on my list today. The grocery shopping, picking up licenses plates, filling the car up, getting home enough time to make dinner. Did it, got everything on my list completed. Then I get a phone call from my step father telling me that my mother has been rushed to the ER. Mind you live live 2000 miles from. My mother has liver cancer and I’m the only child of hers, that is ever there. The my brother and sister live 30 min. from her and are never around. I’m tossed because I’m finally getting my degree, getting the VNS machine removed (on the 14th), learning to let others know what I’m doing is important to me and I will let nothing get in the way. My mother is now sick and dying with liver cancer and I can’t be there right now! I’m lost and stuck. I have no clue of what to do. My mother is telling me to go ahead and wait until Nov. to come to her, but I’m worried. I’m unable to get to her now because of my surgery and classes. I’m the only one she depends on and I’m the only one that is ever there, but I can’t be right now.
Anyway, I know the answer to what I need to do will come. This video was great. I just have to be willing to allow the answer to have time instead of trying so hard to come up with my own solution. This may not have made alot of sense to you or anyone else, but It makes sense to me. Thank you for sending me this video today! Beth

Beth,
I am grateful this video comes at such an important and relevant time for you! I too can relate to your experience in a similar way.
After I graduated from University, I went backpacking in Europe for 5 1/2 weeks. It was something I had planned for a long time and was very important to me… especially after being in school for my entire life.
At the time, my older brother was dying from pancreatic cancer. My family was torn whether or not I should go – my brother wanted me to go on the trip.
So I went on the trip. Every few days, I would call in and email… sometimes when I called he was so drugged on morphine to stop the pain that he couldn’t talk or couldn’t recognize me – sometimes I called and we had a great conversation.
Many times, my father would ask the doctor if he should tell me to come home. Most of the time the doctors said it was okay for me to stay in Europe. I still kept calling every day.
After my 5 1/2 weeks was over, I came home. 2 weeks later my brother died.
I share this story in hopes that you will find some wisdom from it. This is not to say that you should wait to Nov. to go, nor is it to say that you should rush home… I just hope that my story sparks something inside you to find your own path, whatever it may be.

September 9th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
My own story has alot of willfullness and right now I am going through a SERIOUS case of willfullness. I am trying to start letting go, to allow, but I go back to worrying and start haaving all these negative thoughts. These negative thoughts start rushing to me and then one thought leads to another and pretty soon I’m a nervous wreck. I have been stuck in this “mode” for a while now, but tonight I will ask for help in releasing and ask for a solution to my situation. Thanks for the video–couldn’t have come at a better time! I’m already getting help–Law of Attraction at work!! Thanks again and love and light to you and yours.

September 9th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
Hi Chris,
I enjoyed your video especially as you explained the difference between willfullness and willingness. I think one of the reasons why people stubbornly continue even when it seems like nothing is happening is that you don’t want to be like the Darby’s in Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” who gave up just 3 feet from a rich gold vein. Based on this and many other personal accounts it is commonly believed that most people give up just before their breakthrough.
When I researched the backgrounds of a number of very successful people I found that shortly before their breakthrough things actually got worse. Somebody illustrtated this point by drawing a parallel with a jet breaking through the sound barrier. Just before the sound barrier is broken the resistance is found to greatly increase.
So even though it may seem like things are going wrong and may never get better, it may just be a matter of time before it does. But I agree with you that one should keep an open mind.

Jimmy – I think you’ll like my next video
And it is a challenge to sometimes find that balance between pushing forth and pausing. I wouldn’t equate willingness to ‘giving up’ – but like you said… more about keeping an open mind and being willing to have life change directions and give us things in different ways.
The question is whether or not people give up 3 feet from the rich gold vein because they lack the confidence to move forward, or if they give up because everything they’ve tried no longer works… and they have the faith that it’s for a reason, and in the end whatever is for their highest good will manifest.
On the outside, giving up and willingness may look exactly the same – yet on the inside, and the way our lives ultimately play out, we may discover them to be vastly different.

Hey there Chris! Just saw your video, and it was great, everything you had said has really got me thinking, now as for my story well, I would love to tell you it(all of my walls, my stubburnness) but to be fair, I first need to unclutter my thoughts, but I will go and start writing it out and I’ll definitly keep you posted, I have realized that yes, as stubburn as I am, I feel after hearing and seeing your video, that for me to ‘progress’ instead of constantly being in ‘idle’ mode that I’ll admit it for the first time ever…, yes, I do need support and help. Thank you so much for your video, your insight, and Thank you for this great site! Take care and talk soon.

Awesome video. I’m a very stubborn person and I’m always trying to control what happens in my life. Until one day I said to myself “maybe I should just let go for a while”. It worked well until, as you said, I started to try to control everything again.
Also, I’m always thinking and can’t stop doing it. This was and still is a very big obstacle for me. So what I did in order to stop thinking all these useless thoughts is to simply meditate every time I could. To stop thinking and controlling and to start allowing thinkgs to happen is the best thing I could do in my case
This video has a lot of wisdom. Trying to force and control everything can leave us very tired and sometimes it’s best to let things go for a bit.

Ferd0 – one thing that also helps me when I overthink/overcontrol is to focus on breathing in and out. So simple, yet it forces me to instantly move into my body…my awareness goes down, and I become more willing. Doesn’t always work – but it works more and more often the more I do it

That makes such sense! I can see that I’ve been so willful and it has created so much pain. I’m at last starting to become willing and am already feeling and experiencing the difference. I’m striving to simply observe whatever happens rather than fight it, allowing whatever happens to be OK. It takes time though and I can see that journaling does help.
Thanks so much for all your input.

I like your questions nearer the end of the video. And the compassionate approach, the way you look at all the forms of “will”, embracing them all and not saying this one is bad and that one is good, but simply exploring them all. That is very healthy and easeful. Beautiful job Chris. Thank you. Robin

Hey Chris!,
I really like what you talk about, thanks for sharing and living your gift.
Recently I have been realizing this lesson of allowing to be what is. My whole life I have had the motive to Change my life or Fix myself or Achieve this or Achieve that and it has Never worked.
Even if I temporarily have some feelings of achievement, it never lasts and I still feel empty. I have recently realized that I don’t Need to DO Anything! I don’t have to use my own strength and power (chuckle) to hurl myself into a fulfilling and rich life. Because it doesn’t work, I acknowledge that I simply cannot do things that are beyond my reach.
When I allowed this idea to set in, it really lifted a LOT of weight off my shoulders and I stopped worrying about everything in life. I no longer have to be or do something that I cannot be or do!
Now I wonder how my life can go in the direction I want it to while still enjoying each moment and letting things be.

Chris, its a great video. It struck me to understand how my life at present is in misery when my boyfriend left me. I have been struggling why this happen and how I can let myself realized what this trials was all about. We have different religion. That really is the main reason we separate because his family cannot accept me.It is been so hard on me and I cannot accept the reason why this happen. He is the one who left me.I was so devastated and what my only way to depend on is my faith. When you talk about willingness this gives me a path to understand my view point. At first it was hard on me to accept the transition. It is been a week and still I am coping my loneliness. This video help me realized how important to let go and be willing to accept the reality. I am afraid of change. I feel uncertain but by allowing myself to let go and surrender I feel peace in my heart.
Thank you for the great insight….More power to you…..

Hi Chris,
i’m writing because i’m not sure on a situation I am in at this moment & it would appear that it has a good deal to do with this Will’full’ness, & Will’ing’ness. I am in an arrangement which feels very much like one of those ‘grey areas’. I got into a relationship with a lady some three years ago who is eight years my senior. We hit it off quite well in the beginning although something inside was telling me even then that something just wasn’t right(like she was not the right one for me) Anyhow as time has gone by, things have been up & down & rocky at best. Mostly on & off. I keep having mixed feelings of whether i’m supposed to be here or go & start anew. She has a daughter here who dosen’t seem to aprove of me & apparently this has been the case with all the guys this lady has been with. The daughter keeps doing things to get between us & get at me, what do you think I should do? Can anyone out there help me? Much Gratitude!
Blessings. I know they’re both the most fantastic people but maybe I just don’t belong here????? Look forward to some your input.

It has been my experience that if you are not being emotionally satisfied and if you have any doubt about whether or not you should ‘be there’, it is time to move on. When a relationship is right for you, you know it. Don’t settle. That was the biggest mistake I ever made, was to settle for less than true love. I wasted a huge chunk of my life wanting to be in love with a husband I was not in love with. Rather, I spent 17 years in love with a man that was not my husband. After all those years and my divorce, we finally got it together and have been happily married for 13 years. In fact, I wrote a book about it and have been trying to find an agent for it. Go with your gut; in matters of the heart, it does not lie.
[Reply]
April 25th, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Thanks for that Chris!
I recently came across a good analogy which I think is applicable to wilfulness vs willingness:
Your mind is like a sponge, and it can only absorb solutions when you’re not squeezing it. Wilfulness is like squeezing – you’ll get the solution only if it’s already there. If it’s not it does no good to keep squeezing: instead you need to let your mind (and the rest of you too!)relax and expand and the solution will be drawn in. Then you can start squeezing again, if that’s what’s needed.
We’re told ‘if at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again’ and forget that to keep doing the same things over again and expect a different result is one definition of madness. We need to let go and open up to receiving something new. Almost by definition it has to be something you didn’t ‘want’, as wanting it would mean you’d thought about it and presumably tried it.
Keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos and emails.

Chris,
I know that the writing process you describe works great! I use it all of the time to write daily blogs. I seldom know what they will be about (although they all relate to education and a specific theorist who had some great ideas for making learning fun), but other than that, I just sit down at the computer and let the words flow and the blogs evolve. I also often ask for help and I very bravely describe that help in my blogs (it’s a bit esoteric for some people, especially elite educators who have condemned me doing this).
Your reminder to ask for help could not have come at a better time. I ran up against huge obstacles when I wanted to present this new educational theory to the people of Kingsport, TN (where the author was born and raised) and have a grand celebration there for the children. It did not happen the way I had intended due to people in power guarding the gates to the city and making decisions for the people — and I am trying to meet this issue head on (willfulness?).
Yes, I think I will be asking for some major help (willingness). Really, my goal is to work with the special children in the Appalachian Mountains who are living in abject poverty, but there have been many closed gates.
So, I am asking for help right here and now and will remain open to whatever the universe has to offer me, whether it’s open gates in some other direction or some other creative opportunity; whatever. The universe is infinite and offers us infinite opportunities if we are open to them.
Thank you for your great video. I really enjoyed it — and the reminder!

Hi Chris,
I really enjoyed this lesson on willingness and its aptness in my life. Recently, I went through a life-changing trauma which created an emotional death. As I experienced a panorama of my life and how my wilfulness to do things my way and in my own time, I realized my slothfulness in being a servant for God. And I have no excuse as I have had a connection with God literally since I was four years old. I have a pure heart and have seen the Savior (who IS God) three times; twice witnessed by others. And yet, I wasn’t living my life with the required focus of an eye single to God, giving up the world to follow him. I had held on to my “get-aways” with romance novels, over-eating, not exercising, watching too many movies, etc. when I knew without a doubt of my mission on this earth. Luckily, I met and married my true love who had had a profound near death experience when he was ten preceeded by his mother’s three prophetic dreams. He was also given our mission to restore the truth of God’s identity to the earth by way of our words and ancient and present-day records.
He was the one who gave me this wake-up call and I’m grateful as I have a resolve, determination, and willingness to get my life in focus.
My simple message of great importance: When we incarnate to this earth we separate from our Spirits which remain in Heaven (or not depending on past life choices). We incarnate to this earth with our souls (”what profiteth a man if he loses his soul”). Our soul, which remains upon our correct choices/repentance/willingness for God every day is our connection to our Spirit and to God. When we sleep, meditate, ponder, pray we can commune with our Spirit (gain epiphanies, enlightenments, etc) and with God. Thus, God Himself incarnated to this earth as Jesus Christ through the incarnation of His soul while His Spirit remained in Heaven as God the Eternal Father. It is that simple. To come unto God, it helps immensely if you are a truth seeker and know Him! John Holland the famed medium confirms this truth as well. The original Book of Mormon, (not used by ANY religion) teaches this as well in Mosiah 15:1-5. There are artifacts authenticated and carbon-dated by the Smithsonian from the Ohio area (”Hopewell Culture”) that confirm the “other sheep” that Christ taught after His resurrection, raising thousands from the dead, and teaching the Jews. He then descending in power and great glory to the “other sheep” who KNEW of Him through prophesy fulfilling His promise of His Second Coming (not correctly understood by the masses). He comes to this earth today as a “Theif in the Night.” The “great and abominable church” (LDS church) took out the “plain and precious truths” e.g. the identity that Jesus is the ONLY God and is thus condemned by God today. The clean-up of this most abominable church (polygamy, satanic blood-oath masonry required in ALL LDS temples, taking the priesthood away from women (and blacks until extreme political pressure caused a fake “revelation” to restore their original priesthood given in the early pure years of the church) and altering the Book of Mormon; a simple history of the ancient American’s dealings with God and a second witness of the Bible and Torah) will herald the building of the Cities of Peace and all that will commence afterwards. There is NO RELIGION (controlling of the masses by manipulative men) in Heaven only TRUTH that Jesus Christ is the Eternal Father and was called “His Son” as a title only. Control is never of God. Free agency is and when we are willing to come unto God, then life gets exciting. I’ve lost five pounds in five days as I’ve redone my life. Thanks Chris, your video was timely with my early morning resolve. One of our many websites; http://www.bridgingtruth.com shows the confirmation of the identity of God(my simple mission) as contained in the Torah, the Bible, and the original Book of Mormon (NOT used by any religion). Thank you.

P.S. Christ/God coming to the Americas is WHY the Native Americans were expecting the return of “the Great White God” when they first saw the white men. It all makes sense. Thanks for letting me share and I urge that you “put away all that you think you know” (as God audibly told me) to learn the simple, pure genius truths of God. This world has had 6,000 years of man’s misinterpretations under Lucifer’s influence especially in the relgions. It is for every individual to come unto God without a mediator of a church leader who should be teachers only and only if they know the truth and NOT “money changers.” God doesn’t need our money paid to a money changer, he needs our heart and focus as truthseekers doing His will in willingness. What does He want us to do today? Maybe he wants you to assist the poor to help themselves or teach this truth to others, etc. rather than build “great and spacious buildings” e.g. earthly temples and churches (Lehi and Nephi’s parable of the condemned state of the LDS church today). BTW, the mormons are ignorant of the corruption of their leaders or that their Book of Mormon has been altered as they are blindly-obedient and are not truthseekers beyond the “faith-promoting” lies told by them. The Book of Mormon warns the LDS members specifically of their present-day corruption much like the Catholic church recent expose of allowed satanic sexual abuse by their clergy. If the LDS church leaders repented of the abominable belief and practice (still goes on in the temples with satanic “celestial sealings” of men to multiple wives), satanic Masonry (NEVER swear by your head or neck or heaven; “as anything more than this (to say only yea, or nay) comes of evil”), and restored the plain and precious truth of the identity of Jesus/God (Alma 11:23-40, Ether 3:14), etc. good things would occur for this earth as this is where the Lord’s clean-up begins (D&C 112). Thank you for allowing this time to write words from my heart.

Hi Chris..
truly awesome…I think this was dwsigned specifically for me. Over the past 6 months I have been trying to get the ideal job I think I need to get in order to accomplish my career goals in the future. But, no matter how hard I prepare for my interviews, I was never selected for one reason or another. I hear things like, lack of experience, too qualified, job below my standard, etc. I have now really let go and decide to just let things fall in place…

Nice video, Thanks Chris for sharing your wisdom.
Just want to say that I believe like you was implying there is no right or Wong way in achieving your goals it’s just useful to realize how creativity works: To achieve your goal you must first know what goal you want to achieve this is where the openness to ideas comes in. Then when you have found your goal/Target your attention must focus in on that target until you hit it, if you come across an obstacle then relax take a deep breath and be open to new ideas and solutions. So for me achieving goals is using the tools of awareness which are Focusing awareness in and unfocusing awareness or opening up.
Thanks I would to here form any one who have any slants or variation on my comments.

@Mr Leighman,
I like the phrase you used “tools of awareness.” Really awareness is what it’s all about – noticing when we’re set on something in an ineffective or even impossible way – noticing when we’re set on something our heart yearns deeply for and we have to be open / aware to the other possibilities that arise, etc.
“Tools of Awareness” sounds almost like a book title. Let me know when you write it.

I was pushing and willing myself to own a new car which wasn’t rusted when on a Molokai website I noticed all the cars were like mine. Well years ago I lived in Hawaii and never visited Molokai. When I saw the website a new car wasn’t so important anymore. Going to Molokai is!
