🎁 Goals or Gifts?
So what is a desire then?
If you don’t get this right… you’re gonna be working way too hard.
My name is Mr. Twenty Twenty.
Welcome to the Power of Imagination podcast.
This month inside Remarkable we’re exploring the disciple of Matthew.
Matthew reveals something most folks miss:
Your desire is a gift from God.
Not just the fulfillment. Not just the outcome.
The desire itself is the gift.
🎯 Goals vs. 🎁 Gifts
Everybody quotes the line:
“It’s your Father’s good pleasure to fulfill your wishes.”
But here’s the kicker…
👉 Your desire is the gift.
You don’t make a gift into a goal.
You don’t treat a gift like garbage.
Think about Christmas morning. Or your birthday.
You’re given a gift.
Is that a goal? Nope.
It’s already given. Already yours.
🙌 My Gift
I don’t have PTSD anymore.
I didn’t end up in a wheelchair.
I don’t need a hip replacement.
I moved around the world to be with the woman I love.
All of that came from accepting gifts.
Not chasing goals.
🚫 Why Goals Block Gifts
Most people make manifesting about goals:
“If I make a mind movie today, maybe I’ll get X tomorrow…”
“If I journal long enough, maybe my goal will happen…”
“If I grind through more affirmations, I’ll get there…”
That’s not receiving. That’s chasing.
⚠️ Your goals are blocking your gifts.
🧂 Salt, Sugar, and Garbage
Some folks say: “But Mr. Twenty, I set intentions, not goals.”
Cool. But let’s get honest.
I don’t have an “intention” to make this article.
This is my gift to me—and to you.
Sugar and salt look the same. But they’re totally different.
Same with goals and gifts.
Same with intentions and desires.
Gandhi’s Salt Story
Way back, Gandhi fought for salt.
Because people needed it to live.
It was taxed. It was forbidden.
Salt was life.
Today? Everyone says avoid salt.
But sugar? It’s everywhere.
🍬 Goals are like sugar—sweet, addictive, everywhere.
🧂 Gifts are like salt—essential for life.
💪 Stop Pushing. Start Receiving.
The whole “Eye of the Tiger… Navy SEAL… push harder” thing—
that’s the gospel of goals.
Do you really gotta push?
Or can you accept what’s already been given?
🌲 Here’s the Stretch
As a little boy, I’d stretch under the tree to grab my gifts.
Now? I stretch beyond who I’ve been—
to accept the gifts already given by God.
That’s what changes everything.
🗑 Garbage or Gold?
Most people live off garbage goals.
Fluff. Filler. The same recycled nonsense.
But gifts? That’s where the gold is.
“A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”
Forget medicine. Forget sugar.
You don’t need either.
✨ What you need is magic.

A tribe living this, not just talking about it.
🔥 Last Rant
Some people even make it a goal to figure out everything I say.
Don’t.
You don’t need to figure me out.
You don’t need to force it.
Just let it give you something.
Like a gift under the tree.
That’s how you live more like me—
less goals, more gifts.
Thanks for accepting the gift I just gave you.
