When was the last time you did something just for the fun of it?
When was the last time you grinned from ear to ear?
You see, it’s the joy and good feelings that make your life great. The more you laugh at yourself, the more you find something to smile about, the more you enjoy life, the more you see your dreams manifesting.
You manifest more in every area of your life for each moment you feel good. So feel good about your family, your car, your friends, your job, your relationships, your health, and watch your life become magnificent.
Remember, you can always feel more joy than you think you can. You can always be a little bit happier. Your mood can always be lighter. The more you allow yourself to feel wonderful, the more good you will manifest. This is the key to manifesting that most people overlook. It’s something so simple, so easy, that it’s just forgotten.
Here’s a wonderful success story from Sara on how following your joy and doing what you love brings success.
“I have been building up to working only at those things which bring me joy for a while now and gradually moving more and more into truly joyful ways of earning money. Well recently I decided to take the plunge and risk going self employed to do more of what I want to do even in these changing times.
“I have been so enjoying myself singing opera with my ballet dancer friend, having created our own show of ballet and opera with me playing my own composed piano music also for my friend to dance to. I also work part time as a therapist and although I will admit to feeling a little bit scared at first at taking the plunge I can say that I have not had financial problems. It has all been falling into place nicely with lots of different payments coming in from here and there but enough to pay all of the bills - I also have more time to do what I love and I also see that this love and this joy is where the real power lies in any case - and I know deep in my heart that this is why it was safe to do it. I also play piano in a hotel which I was doing before but the whole combination of jobs is wonderful and I feel that I am being paid to do what would have been my hobbies if they hadn’t now become my jobs!
“My message is also - do not be afraid to change direction even at a time like this if it fills your heart with joy to do it. You can shine in changing times.”
Unfortunately, many people never really get clear on what they want to have, what they want to do, or even who they want to be. Sometimes it’s because they think it’s pointless because it’ll never happen anyways. They are stuck in their thinking and are afraid to get out, take a chance, and experience something new in life.
It isn’t easy to get out and experience something new when you have been stuck in fear and negativity. It’s challenging, tiring, and quite simply a lot of work. Because you have so much experience with your old way of thinking, anything new is going to take a lot of practice. Mistakes will be made. There will be times you’ll slide back into the fear and negativity, but if you persist, change will occur.
Just make certain that whenever the fear and negativity creep up that you don’t focus on them. If you focus on them, they will grow. Just accept that they occurred and return to your new way of living. Before long, you will find that you have more of the things you really want to have in your life.
Yesterday, while taking a shower, I noticed a small bug. It got me thinking about moths…how you never see them when they’re really small. You see them when they’re fully grown or halfway there, but never when they’re really young. You see so many other bugs when they’re just babies - flies, spiders, and the like, but not moths. I started wondering what a small moth would look like. Would it be just a small version of the long skinny grown ups? Would it look completely differently?
Well, today, again while taking a shower, I saw a baby moth. Yes, I manifested a baby moth. It was smaller than a gnat. It had the fattest, roundest body and the teeniest, tiniest wings. The wings looked far too small to ever allow it to fly. Maybe it’s like a bee - according to physics it should be impossible for bees to fly, but they does so anyway. Maybe they don’t know any different.
What would we do if we didn’t know something was impossible? What if we didn’t know any different?
It used to be people thought it was only possible to see by sunlight, moonlight, and fire. Then one day Thomas Edison came along and invented the lightbulb. He made the impossible possible.
When Guglielmo Marconi, during his research on radio waves, informed people he could send messages through the air, he was taken to a psychiatric hospital. After all, such a thing was impossible, right?
For years, people and bees (and maybe even baby moths) have proved that the impossible is possible. What would you do if you thought the impossible was possible?
You can choose to live your life as it happens, dealing with the punches and blows as they come, merely reacting to events around you or you can have your life go exactly as you desire, experiencing everything happening effortlessly, creating events to occur how you want them to, living on purpose.
Whenever things seem to be in turmoil, difficult, or just unpleasant, it’s a sign that you need to pay attention. Be aware of what you are manifesting. Look at what you have been thinking, saying and doing.
Blaming what’s going on on someone else, on the economy, on the government, or even on the dog down the street isn’t going to help you. Instead, you need to take responsibility for what is going on in your life. Look at what has been created. Look at what you were doing to create it. And change it! Because if you don’t, things are going to remain the same. Well, that is, unless you keep focusing on the problems. If you do that, things just might get worse.
When you get a sign that you haven’t been paying attention, start paying attention now. You don’t want the sign to keep getting bigger. You don’t want things to really blow up.
You can change things. Simply take responsibility for what has happened and choose to live your life on purpose. Choose how you want things to go and allow it to happen.
Within you is a power. When you are feeling good, having fun, and appreciating everything life has to offer, this power flows easily. Nothings hinders it from doing whatever you ask of it. But when you dwell on the negative, react to things in your life, or feel down, your power is blocked. Your emotions prevent it from doing what you would like it to do.
Now, the thing about this power is that no matter how you feel - good or bad - it’s still doing what you ask it to do. The difference is that depending on your mood, what you ask it to do changes. When you feel good, you ask it to move mountains and it responds by moving them so that your life flows easily and miracles happen. When you feel bad, you usually ask your power to move mountains and then to drop them in your backyard on the garden you just planted - not the most ideal spot.
You see, when you feel bad, when you begin to dwell on your fears and doubts, you begin to resist the good flowing into your life. It’s like you put blinders on and all you see is what your fears and doubts allow you to see - what could go wrong, what is going wrong, why things aren’t working, and so on. Good things are still around you, infinite possibilities for greatness still exist, but you’re not allowing them to enter into your life.
As soon as you begin to let go of the fears and doubts, your power can flow freely again. Your ability to manifest what you truly want will be restored and positive changes will begin to occur.
