Have been thinking about goals and manifestation lately, and came across this interesting video:
You'll need to watch through the end to see the main point - how we can test whether we REALLY want something or not. I did a little self-test with this and the results were somewhat surprising. I already knew I've been hesitant about some things I've thought I wanted to have in my life, but there were others that I didn't realize I would have still hesitated for. That got me to thinking about creative visualization and why some things manifest ,while others do not. Could it be I was holding back and the universe knew it before I did? I think it's likely.
You don't even have to have a partner to do this test- just really picture yourself being able to grab whatever you want out of someone's hand as they offer it to you. Do you take it automatically, or is some little voice in the pit of your stomach going, "well, maybe..."?
Honestly, who knew I would have had second thoughts about that winning lottery ticket? I sure didn't. But it did get me to thinking about why that is, and now I think I'm a little better equipped to start manifesting the things I really do want.
Try picturing someone offering you health and happiness for your loved ones - pretty easy to take that one. Now, picture them offering you fame, fortune, 6-figure writing contracts, etc. - whatever you think should entice you. Which ones are easy takes, and which ones might make you hesitate?
Too true. Back when, I used to say, getting what you want out of life is like sculpting an elephant: just cut away *anything* that's not an elephant. If you can't make that kind of commitment to your goals, maybe you don't really want them.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I still find myself tripping over this basic truth...
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing the great video! It was 9 minutes, and it took awhile before I had time to listen to the whole thing. When the woman reached forward to take whatever it was from him, I imagined he was holding the big contract out to me. I reached forward to grab it with BOTH hands! I am ready! lol
ReplyDeleteGood quote about the elephant, Steve. :)
