I was working towards an R line goal of submitting my novella to a contest.
This was the very first fiction piece I’ve ever written and here’s what my model looked like on paper:

C: Fiction contest
T: I will win this contest with my novella
F: Determined, Motivated
A: Write passionately and send it by the deadline
R: I will win the contest

So my Result was supposed to be ‘I will win the contest’ because I had the right thought, feelings, and action. Yet it played out differently.
The reality of this model turned out to be:

C: Fiction contest
T: I will win this contest with my novella
F: Determined, Motivated
A: Write passionately and send it by the deadline
R: I didn’t win the contest

Now when I try to go back and see if it’s possible that I had a different thought that fueled my action, I also find a thought that laid there underneath and it was:
‘I will prove myself that I can complete an entire novella.’

And when I put that into the model, it brings me a Result that I did in fact prove to myself that I can complete an entire novella.
But all along I thought I was really fueled by the winning thought rather than completing the novella thought.

Is it possible that the thoughts we think in reality and act from are different than the thoughts we write down on paper and wish would fuel our actions?
