Hello, my friends. Welcome to the AstroHussell. I am Corel, and you are you, and it's great to be here with you

flowing through this moment of time together and connecting once again. In this podcast, I'm gonna talk about something that I've talked about a little bit here and now in the podcast, but I've been thinking about it more recently, and I think it's a really valuable,

although difficult to put words to type of concept, but I'm going to do my best, and I hope that it helps you think about your path and where you want to go and get to end life from a different perspective.

Because really that's all I'm ever trying to do on the show is offer perspectives that hopefully will lead to new thought and will be useful in some way.

And so let's see if this one delivers. So the thing that I'm talking about is how our expectations we have about future projects, future pathways in life, et cetera.

How those things can block our opportunities. Before we get into that, as always, I appreciate you listening to the podcast,

and if you'd like to go a little bit deeper, if you go over to patreon.com slash Corel, and there's over 100 extra podcasts and guided meditations and music and things of that nature. I'd love to have you over there with those other incredible people.

Once again, that's patreon.com slash Corel. If you want to avoid boring, basic, and bland gifts this year, Uncommon Goods is your secret weapon.

Uncommon Goods is a great site. I have used it for the last three or four years, every time for Christmas, you can always find something for someone in your family. It really makes gift buying a whole lot easier because they actually have interesting stuff on there.

And they have such a wide variety of things that you can find unique things for unique people. So it is a great way to get your shopping done and actually buy something meaningful.

Instead of just trying to like tick the box, you know, buy something just to buy something. I've bought a whole bunch of stuff over the years. Recently, I bought my wife. She didn't know this yet. So, you know, I bought her this little meditating dog statue for our garden outside, which I know she's going to like.

So they have all sorts of great stuff over there. And what's most important is it's your supporting artists and small independent businesses and that the products are actually high quality and often handmade.

Whenever we are looking to advance or change some part of our lives, we have an idea of what that might look like.

Because that's where all things come from first, right? Of course we have these concepts that rise in our mind. And those concepts turn into stories.

So we get these stories that have emotions attached to them.

There are ideas about where we want to go as we move into the future.

And what's interesting about those is that they're necessary because those concepts that turn into these narratives that drive us, they have to exist for us to be put into motion.

So it's through the arising of those concepts and those ideas that we get some energy.

We start looking for possibilities and we get our mind into that state where it's calculating.

It's like looking for all of these different elements and pieces of things in our lives that we can put together that will help us arrive at this path that we want to get to.

So those things are valuable. One of the issues is that those expectations, the stories of those concepts we have about where we want to go in life and what we want to be achieving and doing.
