For the last 6 months I have tried to attract something. I think I did everything possible: the goal setting, the emotion, the visualization
of having it already, the action, everything was there.
I received quite a number of very strong alpha reflections, some of them really so amazing and unexpected that my jaw dropped.
And yet, when the opportunity was there and I wanted to capture it, I failed miserably.
For the last few days I have tried to analyze what went wrong. I know that at the moment of opportunity my fears and doubts were still too strong,
despite all the effort I did to overcome fear and to develop an unwavering faith.

Now I wonder how to proceed. I see 3 possibilities, all having pros and cons.

- Set a new goal, one that is more believable to me. At first glance this seems like a sensible thing to do, but I have some problems with it: it smells like accepting defeat and admitting that what I wanted is "impossible". And yet I got these incredibly strong alpha reflections, which would indicate that my wish was accepted and that my subconsciousness had embraced it. I may always wonder if I hadn't achieved it if only my faith had been stronger.

- Continue to pursue the old goal while combatting my fears and doubts. I guess that is what a 'purist' LoA and SR follower would recommend. The cons are that I may not be able to muster sufficient faith after failing the first time - my faith has certainly got a severe blow. If it took me 6 months to even get to the point where I was before the failure, it might take years to overcome all my fears, or I might never really get rid of them. And what if during this process I miss out on other, perhaps even better, opportunities, because I concentrate too much on this one goal?

- Or should I combine the two approaches - pursue my original goal while settings smaller subgoals to overcome my fears? Perhaps this is a good idea, but I might lose focus for my primary goal.

How would you handle such a situation?
