The Amazing Benefits of Abundance
Have you heard of the relatively new creative process called manifesting? Here we will discuss this concept and ask the question can people learn abundance. All around us there is abundance and manifesting is about embracing that fact. When you are getting everything possible out of life and not merely surviving, you are living in abundance. This can seem difficult because many times the people in your life have lower expectations of you. There is a highly adaptable set of techniques which means this process can be tailored to fit just about anybody's needs.
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.
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!
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.
But can you learn it?
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People are confused in this modern life because what we truly want to do has been replaced by focusing on what we should do.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.
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.
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.
*Focus on the positively and only on your successes.
*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.
