How a Tesla Landed on My Drive and What It Taught Me

In today’s newsletter, I’m going to share with you how a Tesla landed on my driveway, and the lesson it taught me on the importance of detachment from our desires.

If you want to bring in more of what you desire in life effortlessly without sacrificing the enjoyment of life during the process, this is important for you.

Now, before the sceptical part of your mind cancels me out with “this is too woo-woo”, I encourage that part of your mind to hear me out 🙂

The problem, particularly in the space of manifestation and conscious creation, is that many of us keep on thinking about all we want that we don’t currently have, putting ourselves in an energetic place of lack.

It creates a life of inner friction, unfulfillment, and not living to your true greatness.

My whole life since the age of 16 has been a journey of conscious creation without even knowing the science and philosophy behind it. Over the last 3 years I’ve gone deep into the study of this – both quantum physics and neuroscience to the more philosophical angle. I’ve helped my clients consciously create a life they initially did not believe possible.

Attachment to your desire is keeping it away from you. 

How a Tesla landed on my drive

I was driving on Wednesday this week after a work session in a local coffee shop and was thinking about my car. I’ve been driving this car over the last year and a half and I was reflecting on how detached I was from the desire of this car.

Back in 2017, I created a vision board. Creating a 10 year dream life was something that called to me. On that vision board, I wrote down many things. One thing being a Tesla.

And then guess what?! I completely forgot about it. Instead, I was focused on other desires of mine.

December 2022, a Tesla landed on my drive through a long story (I ordered another 4×4 but that didn’t come through and a Tesla ended up coming as I got a good deal).

If I’m honest, I wasn’t too bothered about what car I got. I just wanted something good as my wife and I were about to welcome our first child and we wanted more space.

That same week the Tesla arrived, I saw ‘Tesla’ on my vision board. Wait, what?! I wanted a Tesla?! I haven’t even thought about it since my time of writing it in 2017.

It taught me a powerful lesson on the importance of detachment from the desire.

Here’s a picture of the car and part of the vision board I had forgotten:

Desire is the birth of all creation

Many cultures and philosophers have taught us to give up desires as if it were something bad. But even to give up a desire, is a desire. If it were not for desire, we wouldn’t be here on this planet.

Desire is the beginning of all creation.

The real desire is the feeling

What is important is not giving up your desires, but allowing your desires to come through you and letting go of the need for having the physical manifestation of it right now.

Everything we ever want is for a state of being. It’s for FEELING a certain way. It’s never about the actual thing. It’s about who we want to be, how we want to feel, in the having of the thing.

The ‘thing’ (car, relationship, business) is our current interpretation of that state of being.

I wanted a Tesla so I could feel like I’m doing a good job providing space for my family, I wanted the feeling of smoothness, luxury and thrill with these dual motor electric cars.

When we obsess about not having something we desire, the physical ‘thing’ is in the way of our true desire – which is the feeling.

When we let go of the “thing”, and stay with the feeling of joy, abundance, expansion – that’s what we really want and ironically what brings “the thing” in.

Many things in my life have come to me when I’ve not consistently tried to make it happen. When I’ve let go of the “making happen” and focused purely on feeling good.

I invite you to reflect on things that came about in your life that you wanted, but didn’t have a step by step plan to make it happen. It kind of just unfolded perfectly – or even better than you had imagined. It might be the person you married, the house you live in, or the job you have.

Give yourself permission to enjoy life without “the thing”

Detachment of wanting the “thing” allows us to just enjoy life. Yes, we want what we want, but we don’t need to wait for it to come to feel good. Afterall, we want to feel it anyway. Your feelings don’t come from the car, house, relationship. It comes from within your own mind – from thought.

You can choose to feel good now.

Recently, I’m learning to allow my desires and then LET GO of the attachment to the desire.

– I don’t need time keep on thinking about it for it to come to me

– I don’t need to keep looking at my vision board chanting mantras all day long

– I don’t need to hold onto my desire otherwise I won’t get it (!)

Yet, there are many things in life I want that I don’t physically have. I want them NOW!! As I find myself waiting for the “thing” to come first before feeling good, the “things” seem to get further away.

We all have access to all the feelings we ever want when we are willing to go within ourselves. We just need to allow it in. Tune in more to it.

This way of living is so much more fun than trying to make things happen by effort and force!

The Universe always knows what you want and will always find a way to bring it to you if you are willing to allow yourself to BE the person you deeply want to be, right now. Tune into how you want to feel – and FEEL IT!
