WHAT IF today was not a day like every other day?

WHAT IF today no old story held any sway over you?


WHAT IF possibility unfurled before you like a red carpet?

WHAT IF nothing seemed impossible any longer?

WHAT IF the beating of your heart was recognized as your true metronome?

WHAT IF you were to honor the deepest desires of your soul?

WHAT IF you were afraid of nothing at all?

WHAT IF you knew beyond a doubt that this moment and all in it is perfection?

WHAT IF everyone around you was healed by your JOY?

WHAT IF you decided to overlook?

WHAT IF your inner guidance was your truest source of wisdom?

WHAT IF everything was imbued with ease?

WHAT IF all energies flowed naturally toward what you desire?

WHAT IF sorrow and joy were sweet companions to one another?

WHAT IF fear and anger were just a swing of the pendulum?

WHAT IF there was never a need to control anyone or anything?

WHAT IF your path is so clear you could walk it in the darkest night?

WHAT IF appreciating beyond all reason is the most influential thing you can do?

WHAT IF everyone you encounter loves you, even if they don't know it?

WHAT IF the Light has already begun to illuminate more brightly, inside and outside of you?

WHAT IF you are absolutely magnificent?

WHAT IF you are always spinning straw into gold even if you don't know it?

WHAT IF Love, Abundance, Peace and Joy are flowing in your front door right now?

These quantum thoughts are my knowings and my wishes for you now and in the New Year.

I love and appreciate you,

Thank you for being in my life.

Happy Holidays!


Dear Lola,
This gift is a reprise of a popular email sent out at this time last year. I thought it hard to improve upon, since it was so inspired.
You will be receiving a second email tomorrow with an audio guiding you to do some Energy/EFT tapping on these WHAT IF...? Quantum Questions for an even more powerful energy shifting process.

Sue Rasmussen ~ Making Room for What Really Matters


"Goals can actually demotivate players in sports.

When your focus is on hitting specific performance targets

such as batting averages, you often underperform.

The stress of having to perform creates a vicious cycle.

The best players are less focused on numbers

and are able to take one swing at a time.

They are in the moment."


Dr. Doug Gardner

former sports psychology consultant to the Boston Red Sox

Consider Giving Up Goals



Living without goals definitely takes courage.

When I first heard the concept of living without goals over 10 years ago, I actually got upset.

And to top it off, I heard it from one of my highly respected mentors, Thomas Leonard...so I was even a little bit more upset.

I thought, "that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard - what would I ever get done if I didn't have a plan and goals?!?" and went right back to setting goals and working hard to achieve them.

But the idea stuck with me, mainly because it felt so radical.

And after a decade of flirting with the idea, I have spent the last couple of years deeply exploring what it's like to live without external goals and follow my inner guidance instead - and still get things done.

And here's what I'm learning: I find that I often get much MORE done when I don't set goals than when I do. And I'm spending time doing what I love, which is a huge reward in itself.

According to Stephen Shapiro, author of Goal-Free Living, there are 8 secrets to living life free from the constant pressure of goals:

  • Use a compass, not a map - have a sense of direction, and then let yourself wander and try new things on the way to fulfilling your aspirations
  • Trust that you are never lost - every seemingly wrong turn is an opportunity to learn and experience new things
  • Remember that opportunity knocks often, but sometimes softly - while blindly pursuing our goals, we often miss unexpected and wonderful possibilities
  • Want what you have - measure your life by your own yardstick and appreciate who you are, what you do, and what you have . . . now
  • Seek out adventure - treat your life like the one-time-only journey it is and revel in new and different experiences
  • Become a people magnet - constantly seek, build, and nurture relationships with new people so that you always have the support and camaraderie of others
  • Embrace your limits - transform your inadequacies and boundaries into unique qualities you can use to your advantage
  • Remain detached - focus on the present, act with a commitment to the future, and avoid worrying about how things will turn out

So if the idea of putting together another one-year, five-year, or ten-year plan fills you with frustration, consider the idea of letting go of goals as a way of life.


And play with the idea of following your guidance all day long, each and every day.


You may be surprised at the wonderful opportunities that unfold.
