Why Developing Abundance Is At Least Worth Trying
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 are new to manifesting you may want to think of this as a life philosophy instead of a simple self-help series. To put it simply manifesting is about reaching all of your personal and professional goals in the strange times we live in.
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.
Everyone must be realistic and understand we have to live in this modern world. People are required to work hard, follow the rules and pay the bills. Nevertheless, this society has become so fragmented that dreams are hard to keep a hold of. Everyone is expected to have just one area of expertise.
Is it possible to change our thinking?
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 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.
All of these career options lead many Americans to simply choose a path that offers the most money. After all, they reason, if I make money, then the rest will take care of itself. Sadly, this is not how it works. Most end up much later in life feeling lost when they realize that money is not the answer. Money may seem like the answer, particularly when we are young. But it is not. Chasing the almighty dollar can leave you feeling empty and lost.
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.
When you get right down to it manifesting is easy.
*Decide what it is that you truly want out of all aspects of your life, professionally and personally.
*Keep a positive attitude by keeping your eye on the successes.
*Act. You must act on your dreams to achieve them. This means you must take the risks as well.
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.
