Wonderful Abundance!
It is very difficult for most of us to understand and accept the concept of abundance in our own lives. We see it in others, but we don't think it applies to us. Or, we may not understand how to make it happen for ourselves. In this article we will talk about the process called 'manifesting'. It is a creative process that opens up the possibility of abundance in everyone's life. There are guidelines for manifesting, but each individual's journey along the path towards abundance is unique.
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.
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 finding abundance possible?
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.
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.
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 easy for all of us to lose our way and avoid asking ourselves the crucial questions that will place us on the right path. Instead, we may chose to focus on making money, assuming that everything else will fall into place later. Life doesn't work that way. Too many of us realize later on that money is not the answer and that it does not and cannot fulfill our dreams. We wake up one day feeling empty and wanting much more in our lives than to satisfy daily needs and necessities with the income we earn from a job or life that is meaningless to us.
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.
The process of manifesting is very simple.
*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 Accordingly- Sitting around and thinking about your future is simple but at some point, you are going to have to actually move in the direction of your goals, which may mean taking a risk.
Manifesting contains one simple truth: you do not need to be satisfied with what is, because when you believe there is more, you will find that there is more. Thomas Edison once said, ‘Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure'. He recognized that to fulfill our dreams we had to work hard and stay focused on our objective. He understood that there would always be ups and downs, joy and pain, success and failure, but in the end it was about continuing forward, toward our dreams and aspirations.
