Why Doesn't Abundance Work?
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.
Sadly, too often in this age people settle for less than what they want excessively early in life. Setbacks bring discouragement and before you know it, they have given up on all of their dreams and ambitions. Dreams become the stuff of fairy tales and are written off as unobtainable. Life may make you choose some compromises, but stubborn pigheadedness when it comes to your goals can pay off. Just look at an example from history, Thomas Edison. You may remember he is the man who gave us light, but did you know it took him a thousand tries or more? Where would we be today if he had not persisted?
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.
Is it possible to change our thinking?
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.
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.
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.
Americans fail to ask themselves questions like these for many varied reasons but the end result is the same, failed future. Many believe they can simply work really hard to make more money while happiness and all the rest will take care on its own. It will be much later in life when the light bulb goes on and they realize money did not solve anything. They are unsatisfied and unfulfilled because most of the time money will only serve the needs of those around you.
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.
Manifesting is an easy process.
*You have to determine what it is your really want in both your professional and personal life.
*Keep a positive perspective and center your attention on your successes.
*Once you have decided what it is you want, you must act on your goals. You must take the risks necessary to see your dream come true.
Our man Thomas Edison said 'Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure'. He understood that dreams take work; that being satisfied with what is would never lead us to accomplishing our dreams and creating the life we long to live. He also understood that it is not always a straight and easy path but one often filled with failure as well as success, pain as well as joy. In the end all that really matters is persistence and hope.
