Some thoughts..
Wanting something, and not being attached to the "goal" of getting it, can work wonders. This is of course paradoxical, but works in harmony. Just because you want something does not mean that you will feel bad because you did not get it. This is a hard lesson for most of our brothers and sisters.
Letting go of EVERY thought and emotion does not mean you will not think or not feel. In my experience, letting go of thought and emotion has to do with my above example, just not being attached to them. They will still flow, and you will still experience them. BUT your thoughts/emotions do not have to absorb your focus. This is the best way I can find to describe "letting go."
Godspeed!
