Abundance Closely Examined
Manifesting abundance in our lives is a concept that has grown in popularity recently. Perhaps you are wondering if it is really possible to learn abundance thinking. Or you may think the creative process known as manifesting is a bit of a mystery. But manifesting is really a simple concept. It is about accepting that life has more than enough for everyone. Believing in abundance means that we do not need to just live to survive but that we can have much more. There are no step-by-step guidelines for manifesting and this is both the beauty and the challenge.
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.
Far too often people settle for what they don't really want. Very early in life they make decisions that are not based on the dreams and goals. When they encounter obstacles they become discouraged and begin to relinquish their childhood hopes and dreams. Life is full of difficulties and compromise is often essential, but compromise does not mean you cannot continue to work toward the fulfillment of your dreams and manifest your hopes and aspirations. Persistence is required. Thomas Edison, the founder of the light bulb, would not have achieved his goals with stubborn, persistence. We might still be living in the dark!
It is true that we must live in the world. We must pay our bills and follow society's norms and rules. Our society is becoming more and more fragmented and demanding expertise in all areas. It makes seeing our dreams more difficult and our vision blurred.
Is finding abundance possible?
As already, stated manifesting is a system or process. The first step on this journey is to be honest and ask what do you really want to manifest. This is quickly followed by an honest assessment of your life, which can be hard. Look around and determine if you are doing what you want or simply what you must to survive. If the latter is the answer you come up with you are going to have to dramatically change the way you see life.
People are confused in this modern life because what we truly want to do has been replaced by focusing on what we should do. Not living the life, you originally envisioned leads to a sea of confusion and chaos where survival is the only goal. This is no way to truly live and manifestation is a simple tool that can be your ticket out of the fog of confusion.
Manifestation can help us see things more clearly. In the maze and confusion of modern life we all could use clarification. After all we spend our days going to grocery stores that offer us hundreds of options. It is not a choice between three kinds of cereals, but hundreds. In college we must not only choose from hundreds of majors, we must choose specialties as well. And when we finally get our degree we find ourselves facing more career choices than our brain can filter through.
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.
It is important to know what it is you want, but it is also important to have confidence that you can manifest your goals. Thinking positively and believing that anything you desire to do is possible is essential to making it happen in your life. It doesn't really matter whether you're talking about your professional life or your personal life. What does matter is eliminating our negative thought patterns and focusing instead on the positive. The truth is, that the more we focus on our failures the harder it is to see our dreams and the more difficult it becomes to obtain them.
These are the simple steps in the manifesting process:
*Look at both your personal and professional life. Make up your mind about what it is you want.
*Keep a positive attitude by keeping your eye on the successes.
*You must act on what you have decided you want. You must take the risks necessary to move toward your goal.
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.
