Novelty has become the norm. Novelty is new experience, and that continuous newness of experience promotes growth in the neural network of your brain. The mind grows with new experiences, and then, by allowing time for that experience to digest, to become a part of the now larger network, new ideas form and further experiences can then take place. By the time the intentions you have set forth begin to occur, you will have had experiences which have altered your understanding of what is possible. This awareness of your pattern of growth can only arise through visualizing your personal experiences as they occur through time.
When you figure out what you want, stop there. Write it down. Don't create a plan to reach that objective, just write down the objective, and keep this intention conscious by consistently referencing it. If you must draw up a plan to get there, at least give yourself a few hours to let your subconscious mind begin processing the desire before starting this analytical process43.
The hardest lesson to learn is being able to let go, relax, and anticipate transformation. Ultimately, the recognition that the world is already always changing is vital to actually changing the world in your favor. The world is a process in motion. Observation and optimism are necessary to change the world, but it will inevitably continue to spin. Some changes may not be immediately possible but changing the world to engineer that possibility, keeping in mind that every action you take is compounded by time to influence the pressure you exert. The reality is that we are advancing so quickly that we can no longer discern between what may or may not be possible over time. In addition, stress influences any given system's ability to function--we propose that structuring one's internal self and social group to function effectively during stress is vital to long-term sustainability. Constantly keep your intention conscious, and communicate your intentions to larger networks, looking for feedback that contributes positively towards reaching your objectives.
