I was on a call for the last hour talking with a friend about supporting a vision he has.
At the end of the call, he asked "what are you hoping to get out of this?"
I found the question really hard to answer in a way that makes any sense at all.
My answer to the questions comes in feelings, images, and body sensations. I see a bowl overflowing, I feel a magnetic pull, I experience a sense of duty, I follow synchronicities, I release and this is what came to me. One of my purposes in this life is to bring people together, especially really smart people. I don't have a goal, and if I did, I am sure it would change. I want to be of service to a vision of the best future possible.
I'm after the experience. My vision will fill out along the way.
When I can't frame the answer in an intelligible way, it causes doubt- maybe this isn't right? Maybe my intuition would have a clearer answer if this were the right path. Maybe I'm cutoff from what outcomes I hope for and need to work on getting more in touch with my desires. Am I too scared to name a desired outcome for fear of being letdown if it doesn't come true?
But I want to try on that the question may just be the wrong question for me. Or that my answer to the question isn't going to sound like what I've heard from other people.
Sharing here, and open to others experience of answering this question. How do you know what you want?
And if you know me, happy to hear your perspective on my specific psychology or what you think is going on 🤔
