Manifesting More than We can Imagine

By now, we know we can manifest much of what we want very quickly. Great! But is it what’s best for us? After all, we don’t know every possibility out there that can bring us the most happiness.

In one example, I encountered a woman who was so insistent on marrying a man she fancied that she actually made it happen. She got what she wanted but was it what was best for her?  She lacked love and acceptance so she did everything she could to please her significant other but years later ended up being resentful that she did so much. She didn’t present her true desires, her true self, just what she thought was required to be loved. She didn’t know any better.

The man didn’t love her as much and so the affair didn’t quite work out as she envisioned. Sometimes we think marriage is the key to happiness and the end of our troubles, without asking ourselves what is it that we truly want?

Similarly to overeating, we can ask ourselves: what is it that I really hunger for? Sweetness? Then perhaps I can find it by calling a sibling. Comfort? Perhaps I can find it in a memory, a cup of tea or a bath. Security? Perhaps I can find it in a deep breath and a feeling of being fully in my body. Companionship? Understanding? Find a group with similar interests, etc.

We find ourselves pursuing and obsessing over certain things or people, when what we’re looking for can never be found outside. We can find many things but true contentment and harmony comes from within and is reflected in the exterior. From our interior we find what truly makes us happy, what truly motivates us to take action, what we enjoy and brings us peace.

The best thing to do is choose what we want to happen but also to allow it to come in its best form, better than we can imagine and in perfect timing, rather than micromanaging the details.

Why not open up to what's best for us rather than just be stubborn about what we want and we want yesterday. Like the child who wants to touch the hot stove and thinks the parent is being mean for not allowing him to do it. It’s protecting the child from harm. Let’s remember even if it’s only in timing, “life’s rejections are God’s protections”

We always get what we want anyway but may it come in its best form! What is it that we really want? Companionship, support, ease, comfort? Regardless of what you need right now, you can find it in some small form in your life. Find comfort and gratitude in the seeds and then allow the rest to blossom into a beautiful yet fulfilling surprise.
