Learn Abundance - Right And Wrong Ways To Use It
Learning to see and accept the abundance that exists every day requires participation in the creative process that is called manifesting. That may sound a bit like mumbo jumbo to those who have not heard of this relatively new technique, but it is a technique being used every day that teaches us to embrace all the world has to offer. It is not necessary to 'settle' in life or to simply 'get by'. We don't have to live according to what others expect of us. By embracing the concept that the world has more than enough for everyone, and open ourselves to what's right in front of us, we can manifest abundance in our own lives every day.
If you have never heard of manifesting, it might be helpful to think of it as an outlook on life or a philosophy of life, rather than a step-by-step process used by most self-help directives. Simply put, manifesting helps us to discover and achieve goals and dreams, both professional and personal.
There is no question that life seems unmanageable and overwhelming to many. Our dreams appear to be completely out of reach and hopes have lost their luster. Many people compromise when they choose a path in life. Life is full of choices and we must often make concessions. But, we still must persist and strive to achieve our heart's desires. Thomas Edison was a man who understood the importance of persistence. Had he not kept his focus squarely on achieving his dream of creating light, we might still be seeing my candle light.
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.
Can we really change the way we think?
In order to understand manifesting, you must realize and accept that it is a process, a course of action. You can begin this process today by asking yourself, 'What do I really want?' It's not always easy to dive beneath the surface of everyday life to find the answer to this question. But if you put aside your immediate concerns and really listen to yourself and your heart, you will discover the answer. Are you doing what you want to do or what you think you have to do? It may take some time to find the answer, but your persistence will pay off.
There are many reasons why life today is so confusing but the primary reason is that too many of us are intent on doing what we think we're supposed to do rather than what we really want to do. Living this way causes our confusion and we cannot think clearly. Life becomes about getting by. We can disentangle ourselves from this type of thinking by using the tool of manifestation.
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.
It is no wonder that Americans get bogged down and don't take the time to ask themselves the important questions. They are quickly lured into shifting their focus to making as much money as they can, assuming that everything else will fall in to place in the future. It is sad to say, that many wake up years later to discover that money has not provided the satisfaction that they had envisioned. They feel unfulfilled and empty.
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.
These are the simple steps in the manifesting process:
*Look inside your heart and find your dreams. Decide exactly what it is you want.
*Put your attention on your objective and keep a positive mind-set. Think only of your accomplishments.
*Take steps to bring your dreams to reality. Take the risks necessary to make them happen.
When you sum it all up there is a simple message contained in these techniques, you cannot be satisfied with the way things are. To again go back to Thomas Edison, he commented once, 'Show me a satisfied man and I will show you a failure.' You see Edison knew something that many people still do not; you have to strive to make dreams come true. His life was a living testament to this fact. He had figured out some key truths about life, that is it full of pain and joy, failure and success and satisfaction is just another way to give up. He continually pushed for success and so should you.
