Question Visualizing Clearly & Letting Go

Two things I recently thought about:

Is it imperative to visualize things clearly and exactly like with your eyes? Sometimes I do more feel what the outcome would be like with only very short flashes of visible things or for e. g. faces only some parts, much less like real vision.

And: In The Secret they say at one point (with the coffee cup) that letting go is important; I've also heard that being unattached to the thing you intend seems to be important. OTOH in the scene with the boy and the bike he seems to really play around with it and not really completely forget about it - so it apparently works both ways?

Or is it about not obsessing over the how and when rather than the what?

Default Letting Go

I think letting go is about getting out of your own way in order to let things develop. One analogy is planting a seed, and then standing over it tapping your foot, and waiting for an oak tree to appear. It doesn't work like that. And you can't keep digging it up either.

You plant the seed, you take some actions, watering, fertilizing, allowing sunlight in. But then you need to let it develop.

Myself, being in the financial markets, have another analogy. When I put on an options position, I can't look at every quote tick all day. I start to freak out and spoil my well planned trade. Some of my trades take weeks to develop, so there is nothing to really "do". You put the trade on, and then get on with your life.

That is just my idea about letting go.

Perfect analogy! I'll be sure to think of this everytime I feel myself getting in my own way.

In other words don't obsess about it?

In my past experience, obsessing over something has produced the exact opposite of my intention. But when I have a nonchalant approach, the 'desire' naturally comes to me.

I currently have 2 intentions that I have put forth and one is definitely larger than the other. I will not obsess about them but do take notice of the syncs that flow my way to remind me that everything is on track.
