Manifesting Your Desires
Manifesting your desires requires a commitment to your values and saying no to some things.
The gift of desire is one of the energies required to help us have the things we would love. There are instances when we mute our senses and stop dreaming, thinking that we must be practical, logical, and stay within the boundaries of what we deserve.
Before becoming a life coach, whenever things did not turn out how I preferred, I used to say, I guess it’s just not meant to be. It was my way of appeasing myself and not feeling like I missed out. It was based on the belief that some things were not meant for me.
As I’ve learned to work with the Universal Laws, I’ve learned that it indicates that it is for me when I desire something. There is nothing I am not able to have or deserve. The gift of desire is one of the energies required to help us have the things we would love.
None of us deserve more
An analogy that helps frame this information is to think about being a parent; a parent generally wants all her children to have the best. It is not typical for a parent to want one child to have a better life than the other; this is how God works. As your Source, it intends to provide us with what we want; none of us is more deserving than the other.
So, whatever you desire, it is there for you to enjoy. There is nothing someone else can have that you can’t. Up until now, you don’t have it because there is a gestational period for its formation.
When you desire something, such as a special relationship, financial wealth, your intended career, or vibrant health, to maintain it, there is required preparation (to be a vibrational match for it to be yours). It can become a fleeting thing if attained before you are ready to receive it.
A Personal Story about manifesting the love of my life
I had been a single mother for close to ten years when I started to yearn to have a partner in my life. A part of me was afraid that I would attract the same type of man, which led to failed relationships. I wanted this next relationship to be a lasting one with a partner who was supportive, loving, patient, and a list of qualities that I valued.
Internal Soul Searching
On a Saturday afternoon, when my kids were with their dad, I sat on my couch imagining what I would love in my next relationship. I journaled the qualities I desired in a partner; it was a soul-searching experience that inspired me to think it was possible.
I remember it was an exercise that brought forth pure possibilities and did not entertain doubt or non-deservingness. I know that sometimes we think it is possible for others and not ourselves. We may even say, “There are no good men out there.” Or “I always attract the jerks.”, or similar thoughts about karma we believe we are carrying. Thoughts like those did not cross my mind.
Where do I need to grow?
Then, as I examined the list I had written, I was guided to look at my behavior and see if I held the qualities I sought. I discovered some qualities, such as the patience I wanted in him yet did not have. We tend to attract who we are, not who we wish to be, so there was some work for me to do if I was to receive what I desired.
I was also inspired to stay open to how and who walked into my life, which means that there was no expectation of a tall, dark and handsome persona but someone with that I fully connected on a spiritual level.
As I worked to refine the traits I identified as needing growth, I also began my dating experiment. Initially, I found that I was still attracting partners whose traits I did not desire. That was a sign that there was more work for me; I worked on my patience, confidence, and sense of deserving, among other qualities.
Is this what I truly want?
During this time, the global financial crisis of 2008 was going on, and I was eventually laid off. Later, I settled for a job that jeopardized my and my children’s economic welfare. It was interesting that I then attracted a relationship willing to take care of me financially. There came a marriage proposal which I accepted.
As I pictured the path that my life was taking, I started to have second thoughts. The man I was engaged to have some great qualities, yet I knew I would not be happy since he also behaved in ways that reminded me of previous relationships. And from my prior experience, I knew I could not change him.
I was leaning toward security and disregarded the list of qualities I wanted in my mate. His offer was tempting, but I knew it would not bring my sought happiness. That relationship ended even though I tried to make it work. I had developed feelings and needed financial security, but I still knew what I valued most.
Working with The Universal Laws
At the time, I was not consciously working with the Universal laws; but regardless on whether I was conscious of them or not; they are still at work. I was willing to give up the wealth and security to have the spiritual bond and qualities in a husband that would make me happy. There is such a law, and you may have experienced it. It is when you are required to make a choice that may fill a need but goes against what you truly want, and value.
After that decision, I stood firm in finding that ‘perfect (for me) man,’ and eventually, he walked into my life within a year. I remember there was some resistance to being open to meeting him, yet I was reminded that to receive what I was asking for, I had to stay open to all opportunities.
My Happily Ever After
Daniel and I have been married for more than ten years, and I celebrate my decision and soul searching when I feel his love and care. It is truly the manifestation of the husband and relationship my heart desired.
The Art and Science of Manifestation
You are also capable of manifesting what you desire. You see, we can have anything we want, and in the process of receiving, we must affirm what we like by growing ourselves to receive it. This is the gestational period I mention at the beginning of this blog.
Desire is an energy that you can feel its vibration as soon as you think of the thing that you desire. It awakens something in you to strive for its possession. It is an enthusiasm for the possibility of what can be and must be.
Desire is Inspired
I invite you to nurture your sense of desire, cultivate it, honor it, and listen to it. I believe that desire is the vehicle in which Spirit talks to us as we are inspired to grow. If your wishes are for the common good of all, then they can be made possible.
We are meant to use desire to live an awakened life. There are instances when we mute our senses and stop dreaming, thinking that we must be practical and logical and stay within the boundaries of what we deserve. The truth is you deserve anything you desire.
