The core concept in manifesting is to develop your faith. Faith without doubt is our strongest ally when it comes to getting the things that we desire. Thee are many who believe that manifesting the desires of your heart is an ungodly concept. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact the word says in to delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Mark 11:23 - 24 in the Amplified bible version says "Truly I tell you whoever says to theat mountaun, be lifted up and thrown into the sea and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. For this reason I am telling you, whatever you aks for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that is is granted to you, and you will get it." Isn't that what the Law of Attraction is saying, believe that you will have the things that you ask for?
Admittedly because of all of our past woes and hurts we find it hard to put complete faith in things because we feel like we've been let down. The truth is that yes all of us have experienced hurts and let downs, but what is absolutely fantastic is that we can start today to relinquish our hold on that pain and use that energy to put toward building our faith. There are those who think either you have faith o you don't but I see faith as a sort of muscle. The more we start to focus on it and use it, the more developed it becomes.
One way to start to build your faith muscle is to start to be aware of the miraculous in your daily life. I am not one of those who subscribes to the theory that God stopped working miracles. If you stop for a minute and take a look at your life, you will see the miracles. I understand everything around you may seem like it's going wrong but it is still okay, because that is temporary and it is within your power to fix. Miracles happen everyday. They may be as small as me finding a dime on the side walk or as big as a 2 month deferment on my car payment or bigger still.
The reason I say to start to look for the miraculous,is because as you begin to look for and find the miraculous, you will start to experience more gratitude. Thankfulness is our gift to God and it opens up myriad doors and ushers manifold blessings in through them. You are acknowledging the good in spite of any bad that might linger. Give your attention to the good and the miraculous and eventually the bad will wither away. It is those things that garner our sincere focus that seem to expand.
Because of faulty programming, many of us have been taught to focus on the bad and take the good for granted. However,to build faith and prepare for long lasting success we have to do just the opposite. We have to take for granted the bad and focus on the good. So often we wonder why so many bad things seem to be happening but we are constantly engaging our pysche in a plethora of worst case scenarios and not allowing that which is good to get a toe-hold.
At the place where you are in your life, the things I'm saying may seem like an utter impossibility. That's okay as well, because I understand completely that no one changes overnight and even those of us who are paractitioners of the Law of Attraction, if we are honest, would tell you that there are still struggles. So do not despair. We are all of us striving to be and do our best. The Law of attraction gives us tools to get a leg up by helping us to understand the detrimental role that negative actions and thoughts play in our lives.
"But how can I believe if I am always let down." Well for starters, you must and this is crucial, change the way you talk to yourself.
If you don't believe it at first, keep saying it. We are going to revisit affirmations later on and this affirmation in particular because it is part of a set of tools that we will talk about and hopefully you will become adept at using. For now, however, just concentrate on that affirmation. Now you may not be new to affirmations and you may have several tht you are already saying, but if you are not getting the results you want then it is time to dig a little deeper.
So why this particular affirmation? Because most of our issues spring a belief that we are not worthy. Whether it's because of our weight, skin color, background or any number of things we feel that we don't deserve to have and as a result we manifest lack in our lives. Our lives are a results of our thoughts and feelings about ourselves. This affirmations starts to get to the core of that thing. If you find yourself balking at the affirmation then that is definitely where the work needs to begin. The goal is to start to believe that you accept yourself completely and without judgement and once you believe it then start to make it core part of your make up. Like the knowledge that 2 plus 2 is 4. It is with that same resolute knowledge that you accept yourself completely and without judgement.
I understand that there are so many things that go on in a day that can bring you up short and cause you to lapse back into negative thoughts and negative self talk. I wear a rubber band on my wrist and when I start to lapse. I snap myself back to my positive place. The rubber band is nothing new. It's been used as a behavior modification technique for a number of years, but it simple and dirt cheap and virtually instantaneous. So try it out.
I have to go but I'll be back with Part II very soon.
