Is Abundance a Learnable Skill?
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.
Manifesting may be a new concept to you. If so, it is helpful to think of it more as a perspective and outlook than a step-by-step manual such as might be provided by a self-help manual. Manifesting can take you out of the muck and mire of the life you have created and move you toward the life you were meant to live.
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 necessary to work hard, pay the bills and live by society's rules. But we have let the complications of a technological world cause us to become fragmented and overwhelmed. We live in a society that has become more and more specialized. We are expected to focus harder on the narrower aspects of our world. Our dreams are easily lost in this environment.
However, can you learn Abundance?
As noted earlier, manifesting is a process and it begins with asking ourselves what it is we want to manifest in our lives. This is not always easily answered. First, we must assess our lives and ourselves honestly. Are we doing what we want to be doing? Or are we just doing what we think we're supposed to do, or what is expected of us? If you find that you are doing only what you think you need to do or have to do, then it is time to make a change, particularly in your outlook.
Modern life is so confusing many times, because we as people are pursuing only what we need and forgetting about what we truly want. When you are not living the life of your desires, it is easy to become lost in chaos and confusion. Survival becomes the only goal and you do not truly live. The simple path out of this cloud of confusion is manifesting.
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.
Too often Americans refuse or fail to ask these questions and their future is in peril. Most will set their focus on making more and more money assuming that all the other things will take care of themselves. Sadly, later in life they will find that money was not the cure all for the problem. In fact, they are not satisfied or fulfilled in the least. Money many times will only satisfy the needs of others in your life, leaving you feeling drained and wanting something more.
Manifesting requires that we focus on our dreams, not our failures. The more we focus on our mistakes, the less clearly we can see our hopes and dreams and true desires, and the more difficult it is to achieve them. It is essential to think positively and to have confidence in our dreams and abilities. It doesn't matter whether your dreams are personal or professional, it is imperative to believe you can achieve them.
These are the simple steps in the manifesting process:
*Decide what it is that you truly want out of all aspects of your life, professionally and personally.
*Maintain a positive outlook by focusing on your success.
*Act. You must act on your dreams to achieve them. This means you must take the risks as well.
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.
