Much controversy exists over the actuality of anyone really being able to create what happens in our lives or more specifically, to create more money, happiness, health, weight-loss, ideal relationships, or the myriad of other things we so fervently desire.  It has, however, been undeniably proven over & over by so many people that its reality & its exponential power can no longer be refuted.

There is too much evidence in too many people's lives to ignore the potential & the tremendous power inherent within it.  Our minds are VERY powerful, and our thoughts, like everything else in the universe, are energy.  Energy is constant and always in motion.  It is the directing (whether conscious or subconscious) of this amazing energy that creates the events, people, success, money, health, prosperity, as well as the lack of these things we want so dearly & occasionally so desperately to happen for us or to us.  


When I got blitzed from my job last December, and I was telling my son about it, he calmly looked at me and said simply, "Mom, sounds to me like you manifested this."  I had to think for a moment, and then realized he was right on target.  A long series of events, people & things had built up over a two and a half year period... the greater part of it being a 100-mile daily commute that was taking its toll on my strength & robbing me of my energy & joy.  There wasn't enough of me left to be the kind of person I needed to be, either at work or at home.  


And so, the job came to an end.  It really was no surprise, for once the snowball started rolling down the hill, it had gathered enough trees, boulders, stray cattle & fence posts to bury a small city.  I had truly manifested my own destiny.  I was worn bone-weary from the stress plus little things here & there that added up until the culmination & the end result. Much of it was subconscious, but the intent was still the driving force.  


This is only a small example, but it was powerful.  It didn't end the way I would have had it end, but it did end.  And so, we need to be careful what we place uppermost in our minds.  A famous quote which I still respect & use today is "Currently Dominating Thoughts Are Goals" and I believe this with all my heart.  I've lived it over & over in my life & seen its results in other people's lives, as well.  Another way I've heard it said is "What We Think About, We Bring About."


Think about how you feel when you are really scared about something... an upcoming promotion you may or may not get, an interview, a first date with that special someone, a trip alone to a place you've never been before, or even something scary like a lump you found on your body that doesn't belong there.  Fear is our BIGGEST ENEMY.  Whatever we concentrate on only becomes larger & larger, whether it's good or whether it's negative.  It almost grows exponentially.

Like anything, it takes LOTS of practice to become proficient & to erase the negative tapes than run in our minds from childhood.  Once you establish the affirmative statements you wish to utilize to manifest your desired outcomes, you must ACT AS IF the event, thing, person, object, whatever it is, HAS ALREADY HAPPENED and you are presently enjoying the benefits of it.  This is the key to your success with this powerful and effective use of your own mind.

I know, it sounds counter-productive to just let it go, but you must, in order for the Universe to do whatever it needs to do to create it.  If you hang on to the desired outcome, then you are trying to write the script, and this does NOT work. Others have tried in vain, and only make more of the negativity they were trying so hard to erase.   You simply affirm it, then LET IT GO.

So, to recap.... decide what your dream is.  Write it down as positive statements, as if they have already occurred & you are presently enjoying the benefits of it.  Repeat these statements daily & visualize yourself living the outcome now, in the present, not some distant future goal, but right now.  And then, release it.  Let go of the outcome. As the saying goes, "Let Go And Let God".   Trust the process, it works.  Just remember to practice it EVERY SINGLE DAY.
