Faith Lynella ⋅ A BonBon
Once in a while, a project or idea comes together of its own accord. It’s so seamless, spontaneous, and rapid I just have to hang on. There’s a singleness of purpose that pushes aside whatever else competes for my time, attention, or energy. Something in me recognizes “it’s got a mind of its own.” What it is trying to do is counter-intuitive, which means I wouldn’t have thought to do that in a million years.
Wanna-Happen Energy puts me in unresisting overdrive. This is Clear Sailing Energy, but riding on a schooner instead of a dinghy. It takes over my Do List. But it doesn’t stay there long because what needs doing is so quickly accomplished. Then the whole thing is off to what’s next, because it wants to happen. If it joins up with the buoyancy of Lift-off Energy, there could be a game-change. Things really start to move!
The energetic surge pulls me right along. Yet this process isn’t hurried so much as incredibly efficient. Unerringly, no thought or motion is wasted or off-track. I get even more oomph from doing the work—without feeling drained at all. I’m energized! I’m almost giddy about getting to do it because it feels like such a privilege to be involved.
This state of affairs resembles a blueprint just waiting to be made tangible—no trial and error or fumbling around. Somehow, on some level, it’s apparent this isn’t half-baked or a pile of unrelated pieces. But it exists as a whole, with just a bit of assembly required of me.
It’s Unstoppable
This is not Breakthrough Energy since there are no barriers or logjams to be breached. Nothing stands in its way. The force of it overrides existing everyday rhythms and routines, as it proceeds toward its driving purpose.
You feel a rush of joy and delight as Wanna-Happen Energy is going on. But after it passes there’s a saddened letdown. Not yet! . . . Oh no. . . is it over?! You realize that whatever just happened was an event—something special to be pondered and reflected upon. But wondering about hows and whys can’t explain it—or bring it back.
That burst of energy didn’t arise from you, but you gladly played your part. Now your role is to watch with reverent appreciation to see what comes of it. But you certainly can’t help wishing for some more of that Wanna-Happen Energy again.
