A Long Look at How To Learn Abundance!
It is very difficult for most of us to understand and accept the concept of abundance in our own lives. We see it in others, but we don't think it applies to us. Or, we may not understand how to make it happen for ourselves. In this article we will talk about the process called 'manifesting'. It is a creative process that opens up the possibility of abundance in everyone's life. There are guidelines for manifesting, but each individual's journey along the path towards abundance is unique.
If you are new to manifesting you may want to think of this as a life philosophy instead of a simple self-help series. To put it simply manifesting is about reaching all of your personal and professional goals in the strange times we live in.
Too many people give up too early on their life's goals. They settle for less than they truly want. They are discouraged when met with failure and childhood fantasies slip to the back of their minds. Life is about compromise, there is no question about that. This does not mean that success cannot be found if we stay focused. Thomas Edison was a perfect example of this willingness to persevere. Had he not been so committed to his dream of providing light for the people of the world, we might still be reading by candlelight.
There is no question that in order to survive we must work and pay our bills. However, the huge advances in technology in recent decades have driven us toward greater and greater specialization. We are becoming a society of small fragments and 'niches'. We are so focused on minutiae we have lost our ability to dream.
How can we understand abundance thinking?
There is a process or system to manifesting as we mentioned above. Your first step is to be brutally honest and ask what you would like to manifest. You have to take this same honesty and approach your situation in life, none of which is easy. You must ask yourself if you are doing what you want and dreamed of or just getting by. In the end if you determine, as most people will, that you are simply surviving then there are some drastic changes that need to take place in your outlook.
Life seems chaotic and confusing to so many of us these days. We put our energy every day into all those things we think we have to do, or need to do. We get bogged down in the mundane and lost in the chaos. Before long we are merely surviving as we have forgotten how to live. Manifestation can be the tool you need to pull yourself from the chaos.
The modern age begs for clarification and manifesting is the tool that can help clarify many things in life. You may be asking why this world is suddenly so confusing. It is in the vast number of choices you are asked to make, sometimes daily. Picture your favorite supermarket; now wander down the cereal aisle. There are literally a hundred different kinds of breakfast to choose from. Next, you go off to college only to again be confronted with thousands of majors to choose from and once you graduate the myriad of choices continue, as there are about a thousand professions, jobs or careers you qualify for.
Americans fail to ask themselves questions like these for many varied reasons but the end result is the same, failed future. Many believe they can simply work really hard to make more money while happiness and all the rest will take care on its own. It will be much later in life when the light bulb goes on and they realize money did not solve anything. They are unsatisfied and unfulfilled because most of the time money will only serve the needs of those around you.
Unfortunately, the more we focus on our failures and lost dreams, the more difficult it is to actually obtain them. Positive thinking and confidence are absolutely necessary in order to manifest our life's dreams. You must know what you want, but you must also believe you have it within your power to achieve what you want. This is true regardless of whether it involves your professional life or your personal life. The more we focus on our failures, the harder it is to see our dreams clearly and become all we were meant to be.
The process of manifesting is very simple.
*Look at both your personal and professional life. Make up your mind about what it is you want.
*Focus on the positively and only on your successes.
*Take steps to bring your dreams to reality. Take the risks necessary to make them happen.
Thomas Edison understood that achieving your dreams takes work. We must never be satisfied with the status quo, but must always be working and striving to achieve our heart's desires. As Edison said, ‘Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.' He lived what he espoused. He understood that life was filled with failure and success, joy and pain and that life is not about complacency and status quo, but about reaching and striving.
