The Waiter and the Soup

Imagine being at a restaurant and ordering
soup. You decide on Minestrone Soup and you
tell the waiter to bring it to you.
The waiter takes your order to the Head Chef
who starts to make your soup.
But while the soup is being made you change
your mind.
You now tell the waiter you’d like to change your
order to Tomato Soup. The waiter goes back to
the Head Chef and tells him to stop making the
Minestrone and to focus on Tomato instead.
So the Head Chef tosses away the Minestrone
and takes out the tomatoes.
But just then—you call the waiter to you again
and tell the waiter that you’d like to try
Mushroom Soup instead. It’s too hot for Tomato
Soup today, you explain.
Once again the Waiter rushes off to tell the
Head Chef and once again the Head Chef
tosses away the soup he was preparing and starts
all over again.
You wait… and wait… and wait.

But as the soup is long in coming, you decide to
leave and try another restaurant.
Now…
Think of the waiter as Your Subconscious Mind.
The Head Chef as Higher Intelligence. And the
Soup, as Your Goal de Jour (Goal of the Day).
Do you see the Problem?
Whatever you have been asking for has been
coming to you.
But you stop asking, or you change your mind,
or your give up when it is so close.
What you seek to create has not been coming to
you because you lack the clarity to stay focused.
You cannot create what you want because you
do not know what you want.
Get out of this trap if you want to lead an
extraordinary life!
