If conventional success is achieved by visualizing over and over and repeating things I wish were true until they are, the deep path transpires through listening: reading signs, taking cues from reality, and placing thoughts aside over and over in order to hear a more intelligent voice within and around me. So, stop visualizing outcomes and start paying attention to what reality is saying. Rather than starting out with a road map (which feels much more secure, I understand), we notice that a road map is forming.
