Making the Most of Manifesting
What do we mean by manifesting abundance? We have all heard many new age people tell us that you reap what you sow. If we spend just a few minutes thinking about it, we'll remember hearing those sentiments many times before. Maybe it was your mother when she was trying to encourage you when you were down and depressed. Even the voice inside your head is telling you the truth. The problem is; you probably never listen to that 'voice' and you don't realize that only you are responsible for your current life.
Somewhere, at some point long ago someone tried to tell you that you were the master of your own destiny, that you could do anything you put your mind to. The ability to manifest abundance is in you and only you can control the process of manifesting in your life.
Face the facts, the reason that your life is less than perfect for you right now, is because that is the way you want it. That's right, the miserable marriage, the lack of success at work, the missed promotion, the clunker of a car... you wanted it all, and you've got it. You are the one that is responsible for manifesting everything in your life... and therefore only you can change it.
As depressing as it may seem at first to come to this realization, there is a big positive to this as well. Once you realize that this power lies with you, you realize that the power to change your life is already yours. All it takes is a change in the way you see and think about the world to manifest abundance.
The most powerful thing you have is your thoughts. It is the way you think about your life that causes that life to manifest. Think about this, every time you think about how you are going to pay bills or buy groceries, you bring more bills and more money problems into your life. Each second that you spend focusing on your lack of money, you are creating more money problems for yourself. When all you focus on is all the things that are disappointing in your life, you are bringing more disappointing things into your life.
Instead, start to think about the positive things you have in your life. This is the first step to manifesting abundance. Focus on the good things to start with. Think of even the little things; for instance, you have a home to go to, food on your table and so on. If you even have this, you already have a lot to be thankful for. Once you can be grateful for the things you have, you can begin to shift your focus outwards to the good things you want to bring into your life.
It does you no good whatsoever to place the blame for things you are unhappy with on others, since your life and your destiny are entirely of your own making. You may tell yourself and others that what you want is success and happiness in your life, but if these things are not the object of your thoughts, then you will not be able to bring them to you.
Try these experiments to see the power of your thoughts to shape your world. By changing how you view your world, you can change it. Start by resolving to not worry about money, not having enough or worrying that you will not be able to get the money you want. Instead of dwelling on these negatives, think of how much you already have and the fact that you are well off enough to have gotten the things which you have already.
Another experiment is this: start to think; not only that, believe that you have plenty of financial resources, no matter what you may have thought before. It will take some effort to do this, since you have to keep those old patterns of worrying about money out of your mind. In order to manifest abundance, this is the key - you have to genuinely think that you already have everything you need.
As they say, like attracts like. If you keep your mental focus on the good things in your life, the result will be attracting more of these good things to you. All of us can have the lives that we want; it is only a matter of learning to use the power of your thoughts and manifest abundance.
