Manifest

Happy Tuesday,

How are you all doing on this amazing Tuesday night? Did you enjoy your weekend? I sure hope so. I’d love to hear what you all did, so shoot me a text or drop a comment if your so inclined. Oh and I have a huge favor, if you haven’t subscribed to my blog, I would really appreciate it if you would.

I wanted to thank my new subscribers for taking the time to read and sign up for my blog so you never miss an upload. Everyone who takes time out of their busy schedules to read, comment and subscribe, I am not only blessed, but I’m touched and humbled by you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Life’s been crazy busy again, but I sure am lovin’ life. I have my brother and his three kiddos here visiting. Can’t believe how big they’ve all gotten. They are all so grown up now. I love talking to each of them. They are all unique, funny, sweet, kind, respectful and helpful. Jimmy and Brit have done an amazing job with them.

Today I took Katelynn to paint at our neighborhood ceramics store and the older ladies painting there all commented on how sweet Katelynn is. One gal told her, “you are such a good girl and fun to talk with. You really know how to engage with adults and you are so polite.” Katelynn replied with, “thank you.”

Made me so proud to have her with me and to listen to all the compliments. I’m a proud auntie.

Yesterday little Katelynn was showing off her outfit and while I forget what the three words on her shirt were, there is one that sticks out. Manifest. Katelynn had asked me to read her shirt, then she said, I don’t know what manifest means. So, Jimmy and I began to explain it to her. One thing I told her was to always manifest happiness, love and a good relationship with all of her family and friends.

The word manifest has decided to plant itself in my mind, so I thought it must be the subject I need to talk about in my blog.

I looked up the actual definition of manifest and according to Verywell Mind it gives this as the definition: “to manifest something means to make your dreams, goals and aspirations a reality by believing you can achieve them.”

While I do believe this thought process 100%, I also believe that manifesting what you want requires hard work as well. Very few of us are born with generational money. If we want the nice home, the nice car, the education, whatever it is, we do need to work hard. I also believe we need to work hard at our relationships.

Everything in life requires hard work and believing we can have it all. When we manifest the things we want, we tend to picture ourselves in certain life styles whether it be living in a bungalow by the beach, or perhaps having the fun boat or the mustang we’ve always dreamed about. Perhaps we dream of the perfect partner or the perfect life. Whatever we are manifesting, we need to work for it. No free handouts. Everything has a cost.

While we can have all the things we manifest with lots of hard work, we must also think long and hard about the things we think we really want. Sometimes we think the grass is greener on the other side of the road, however, that’s generally not the case.

Manifesting the things we want is totally fine and it can also help us to work harder to obtain the things we want, I just feel like we need to manifest, work hard and strive for things in a balanced way.

I was talking with Jimmy and John yesterday and Jimmy made the comment, “sure, it would be nice to have money to just be comfortable, but I’m not sure I’d want to be so wealthy rich.” I think he hit the nail on the head. Sometimes I think we believe those that have more money then they know what to do with are the happiest, but that’s not always the case. In fact, it’s more then likely that folks that have more money then “God,” are lonely and unhappy.

I think, totally my opinion, that those with so much money, I wonder if their friends real? Do they wonder that too? Are the relationships they have real or are they being used for what they have? I wonder. However, whatever the case is, rich or poor or in between, I believe manifesting happy, healthy and loving relationships is the best manifestations of all. The rest will fall into place.

I love the advice from Betterup.com. It says to manifest something we should first think of what we want, then visualize it in detail, be as specific as possible, as though we already have it. We then would ask the Universe for it, say and write positive affirmations in present tense.

It is my thought, if we do these things, we might not only manifest what we want, but hopefully we will keep our minds open and as we ponder over our manifestation, I would hope we could think more clearly. Maybe we will begin to see the things that could enhance our lives and the lives of those we love , at the same time, we’ll also be able to see the things that could come between us and those we love. Hopefully we’ll see the things that could cause our lives to take a detour and take us away from true happiness.

“The only thing that stands between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it and the faith to believe it’s possible.”-Thomas Edison.

I truly believe anything is possible, we just need to want it bad enough, yet on the flip side, when we want something so much that it clouds our judgment and our ability to see how things could affect not only ourselves, but those around us, is it worth it? Is it worth compromising relationships? Is it worth manifesting the riches of the world while costing us our core beliefs?

For me, I’ve been manifesting and visualizing myself as a published author and sometimes I find myself believing it so much that I lose track of the hard work I need to continue to do to get there. I become complacent and figure I have time to make the final corrections of my manuscript. Sometimes I become distracted and fail to prioritize the things in my life that will get me to becoming published.

I can manifest all I want, but it’s been my experience, if I don’t take action, it’s not coming to floriation.

My point is, though I am manifesting becoming published, I also need to keep focused and continue to work hard.

While it is wonderful to manifest, it also requires action on our part. My question to myself and to you is this: do you have what it takes to manifest, take action and keep your life balanced?

I’ll leave you with this final thought, “manifesting is not about attracting what you want. Manifesting is an awareness and an understanding that you attract what you are.”-Wayne Dyer.

Use caution my dear friends when manifesting what you think you want, at the same time, go after your dreams and live your life in the best way possible. Believe in yourself and see yourselves in the best light. Manifest love, happiness along with happy and healthy relationships. The rest, hopefully it’ll be the icing on your cake.

Well guys, I’m heading to bed now. Until next time though, don’t forget, Love Life++ Hugs.
