There It IS!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I still play this game with my son when he asks me where something is, like the TV remote, that&#8217;s usually hiding in plain view (<em>a symptom called &#8216;Boy Vision&#8217;<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use this hotter\/colder approach for plotting your life path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve worked with 100&#8217;s of Qigong students helping them to get clear on their aims (long term) and objectives (short term) for their Qigong training and for their life. If there is one thing I am certain of, it is that very few of us are born with a clear purpose or are driven to fulfill a particular destiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have noticed though, and I once &#8216;<em>suffered<\/em>&#8216; from it myself, that we&#8217;re led to believe that if we don&#8217;t have a clear destiny, purpose or mission then we&#8217;re never going to amount to much in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This simply isn&#8217;t true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, it&#8217;s great if you do know why you are here and what your destiny on this great planet is, but it&#8217;s not essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, like I used to be, you are frustrated by your own lack of certainty about your destiny or life path then I suggest you use the &#8216;Hotter\/Colder&#8217; approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If one day the God of <em>your<\/em> choice whispers your destiny into your ear. Fantastic. Until then you get to choose your own path, your own destiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It works like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look at two possible options (or more).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Wash dishes for a living in a local hotel<\/li><li>Teach Qigong<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Option 2 feels much &#8216;Hotter&#8217; for me than option 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s another one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Focus my time on getting to the USA to teach Qigong<\/li><li>Focus my time on writing my second Qigong book<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Option 1 is &#8216;Hot&#8217; but option 2 feels &#8216;Hotter&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously these examples are simplistic, there are a lot of other variables to consider and life is rarely this clear cut. But when faced with a lack of certainty about what to do or what path to take &#8211; <strong>you get to choose<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You never need to know what the end destination is, you&#8217;re not expected to know what lies around the next corner. You just need to decide whether one course of action feels hotter or colder than another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then the real challenge begins &#8211; <em>following the &#8216;Hotter&#8217; course of action<\/em>. Because I have to tell you it&#8217;s not always going to be easy &#8211; sorry about that. Just do your best and show yourself compassion at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s to living your life &#8216;<strong>On Purpose<\/strong>&#8216;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcus James Santer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PS. When faced with uncertainty, you get to choose. Which choice feels &#8216;Hotter&#8217; for you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever played the &#8216;Hotter\/Colder&#8217; game with a child?
