Abundance - Right And Wrong Ways To Use It
Do you feel as if you are focusing all of your time and efforts on just getting through each day and surviving? That your dreams have disappeared and you are lost in a maze obligations? If so, you are not alone. The concept of manifesting is a new technique that can help you find your way out of the maze and into the light. It is an outlook on life, a concept and perspective that can teach you to see the abundance that exists right in front of you, right now. It is not necessary for you to 'settle' while your dreams slip further and further out of sight.
If you are new to the concept of manifesting it may help you to think of it as a way of thinking and a way of living rather than a set of techniques to follow as most self-help manuals provide. Manifesting is about finding our way through the maze of these difficult times to take hold of our own lives and goals.
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.
Is it possible to change our thinking?
To understand manifesting is to understand that it is a process. It is a process that begins by asking yourself very honestly, what you want. Looking at your life and circumstances is never easy but by taking it one step at a time it is possible. Are you doing what you want to do with your life? Or are you doing what you think you're supposed to be doing? If the answer is the later, it may be time to make a change.
There is no question that life these days in is quite overwhelming and confusing. We've come to focus all of our attention on what we need to do rather than what we may want to do. Chaos and confusion overwhelm us can we lose our ability to live the life we want to life. We use all of our energy just to survive. We can use the simple tool of manifestation to remove ourselves and our lives from this quagmire.
Manifestation helps us find clarity of thinking and illuminates our path. We desperately need this in our world today. Our day to day lives are overwhelming. Just think of what is involved in a simple trip to the grocery store. We have hundreds of decisions to make. Buying a box of cereal involves making our selection from hundreds of options. The same is true of students going to college. There are now hundreds of different majors and even more if you add minors and advanced degrees. When a student graduates from college he is faced with thousands of career and job options in a sea of complicated businesses and industries.
A common choice that many Americans make when faced with these overwhelming career options, is to just try to make as much money as possible in what they choose to do. They think that if they do that, everything else will take care of itself in time. But it will not and most end up realizing this much later in life after much time has been wasted. Money does not equal fulfillment. It may satisfy your needs for a time, but sooner or later it will leave you feeling empty and looking for something else.
Confidence and positive thinking are a huge part of manifesting, just as they are with most things in life. You must have more than just knowledge of what you want; deep inside you should believe that you could have whatever your goal is. It does not matter whether you are talking about professional or personal happiness and goals the key ingredient is belief. To achieve this you must annihilate all negative thoughts. Make the song ‘accentuate the positive... eliminate the negative' your new mantra. The bottom line is this the more time you spend concentrating on the defeats and failures the harder it is to see your dreams and reach your goals.
When all is said and done, the process of manifesting is very simple.
*You have to determine what it is your really want in both your professional and personal life.
*Focus on the positively and only on your successes.
*Act- Speculating about your future plans and goals is pretty simple. Somewhere along the way, you are going to have to knuckle down and take a few risks.
These methods contain a simple message in the end and that is you should never be satisfied with the status quo. We again borrow from the great Thomas Edison who believed a satisfied man was a man who had failed. Edison knew that the human being had to constantly be striving to fulfill their goals. He not only said it, he lived it his entire life. He understood too that life has ups and downs, success and failure, as well as agony and joy. Satisfaction, to his mind, was just another word for indifference. Edison strived his entire life for more and so you should as well.
