Let's imagine that nobody wants anything from you.  Reflect on this deeply for a moment.  Consider it a valid emotional and spiritual exercise, not a mindgame.  What kind of very real implications would this have on your life? your thinking? your assumptions?

Well, for starters, many things you were brought up to believe would seem deceptive or confusing.  The perceived demands and rules of family, school, social institutions, workplaces and communities would seem like you made them up.  Would you have thought you had such a  convincing imagination?  Would you have thought you were so gullible?

Take this perspective a step further.  Why is it you've grown to link "unhappiness" with not having, not knowing and not doing?  Why might you decide that other people and circumstances beyond your control must define your level of inner contentment?

To hit the nail on the head, why would you choose to believe success has to be something you're not? Why punish yourself with reprimands, challenges, blame, guilt, fear and similar feelings that are based on holding yourself back and perpetuating insecurities?  Somewhere along the line, you decided certain things mattered.  Why?  Who told you they should?  If you didn't choose to believe your shaky assumptions, they wouldn't matter. 

Every moment of every day is an opportunity to restructure your life.  In order to do that, you need to evolve to be willing to deconstruct your entire thought system.  Imagine what kind of life you would lead if you didn't need to feel motivated, if you weren't constantly working to achieve based on desire. Would you truly discover what is?

Consider a world where you produce outcomes in more subtle ways, and the outcomes themselves don't matter.  Consider a world where the thoughts of other people influence which events unfold and you can either follow the group, or take steps to help direct it.  Consider a world where top-down hierarchies dissolve, where power and knowledge exist in all of us. Wouldn't you choose to tap into it?  What if your mindset stands in your way?
