As a believer in manifestation and someone who has manifested many experiences, opportunities, and things in my life, I’m struggling to decide whether we need to envision every detail of what we are trying to bring into our lives or just be directionally correct. I’ve read a lot on the subject. I’ve listened to more podcasts and videos than I’ve read. And I’ve heard both sides, but I feel like the consensus is to be as specific as possible with our manifestations—the what, the when, the how, every other detail possible. But I’m beginning to believe that maybe we don’t, or really can’t, know every detail of the life we are manifesting. I think the best we can do is know where we want to head, but also need to remain open to what might come to us that we can’t even imagine. As we pursue our Authentic Life, we will meet new people and have new experiences that introduce us to new ideas and information and reveal things we never could have known without them. If we are so fixated on what we think we’re supposed to manifest, we might miss those chance encounters—synchronicities and serendipity—that will lead us to where we’re really supposed to go. What I’ve settled on is to know what direction I want to go, understand the details of what I want, but not hold too tightly to what I think, so I don’t miss the opportunity to be led to where I’m supposed to go by the Divine. I’m heading in the direction of what I believe is my Authentic Life as of today—I have a vision, I have goals, and I’m doing what I need to do to realize them. But I’m also always open to whatever and whoever might come my way. I know I’m directionally correct, but the destination may or may not be where I think it will be. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |
I'm on a mission to help more people find and live their authentic life. Check out my Daily Notes where I write a short note each day about the connection of spirit, mind, body and money on the Pursuit of your authentic life.
I heard something the other day that really grabbed my attention. What if our habits suggest more about how we view our Self than a reflection of our discipline? If we struggle with habits, it’s not that we aren’t disciplined; it’s that somewhere we are not valuing our Self as we should. That made me uncomfortable. It also made me rethink the habits I want to improve and the ones I want to let go of with a new focus. What do your habits suggest? See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC
“We are all labeled when we are young, we are all subject to well-intentioned social expectations. We all fall into the rhythm of automatic behavioral patterns, unaware routines, and the suppression of our authentic selves for the sake of fitting in. We limit ourselves so completely that we hardly know what it means to reach our full potential, let alone come close to realizing it. Humans are naturally creative beings – we create every moment of every day. When we create from a place of...
