I don't agree that robbing a bank is the most direct way to get money. There are all kinds of obstacles involved in that! Not the least of which is: I might get shot -- that would definitely get in my way of getting money.
But I do think it's a good idea to look boldly at your passionate desires, and see if there's an underlying desire underneath the obvious one -- one for which a very direct solution is very obvious.
The one that sprang to mind when I was reading the blog post was the relationship one. Underneath "I want to be in a relationship with this particular person" may lie "I want to feel related to this particular person." The obvious solution to that one that I could see is that I am already related -- the direct path is looking boldly at reality -- I am already related, there's nothing I have to do in order to get related. That makes walking up to him and being with him a joyful, inspired action, rather than a goal to be achieved. Big difference.
