Going through bad things or having to wait may just be a blessing!

It is not my intention to "sugar coat" bad things happening or how much it sucks to have to wait for the things we truly desire as my only goal here on this blog is to share my own personal story as it evolves... In the earlier posts I outlined my desires or at least some of the major ones and I continue to pray daily (because I use prayer as my method of creation) for the manifestation of my choices into my reality. Today I want to shed some light on how I feel about bad things happening and having to wait!

AWARENESS... What does that mean to you? For me this question has evolved as the meaning seems to be getting more and more interesting the older I get! In this fast paced world we live in it can often be a challenge just to slow down and take 5 minutes to yourself much less spend any considerable amount of time in meditation or prayer! When bad things happen and/or we find ourselves waiting for what we choose "MOST OF US MAKE TIME TO INVEST INTO MEDIATION OR PRAYER" because our needs and wants outweigh the busy life that would otherwise consume us! When we experience a slow down in our lives because of bad things happening that make us reflect or seek new answers we are "open" for wisdom to make us more aware!

Additionally when we are in a state of waiting we usually spend more time in meditation or prayer and as a result are working to connect to the higher knowledge that we know in our hearts is there somewhere! This too opens us up to new awareness!

Those with a positive outlook on life often say that "EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING" and there is great wisdom in that thought process! Logically we cannot know or experience good without knowing and experiencing bad and likewise we cannot know hot without cold, up without down, light without heavy and so on... For me personally the bad things, looking back, were not really that bad and most increased my awareness and wisdom. Also when I find myself in a holding pattern waiting for what I want I am more focused and diligent towards getting it and as a result more open to new awareness and wisdom! This proves for me personally that every cloud does have a silver lining and that we have a choice on how we judge our own life experiences! Because of this I truly believe that there are blessings hidden in every single situation just waiting to be uncovered and acknowledged!

The physical realm verse the spiritual realm!

Today I realized, once again, that for me personally my power to create is based more in the spiritual realm than the physical realm so I want to share this thought process as it pertains to my ability to turn my vision board into physical reality. We all have experienced ourselves as "creators" on some level and for some of us we have seen first hand our ability to call forth and/or create out of thin air what others would deem to be miracles! Each soul, I believe, is here to experience itself as an individual aspect of divinity. The question we all must ask is "Are we better equipped to create from the physical realm or the spiritual realm?" as this may be one of the most important questions we can ask ourselves. The answer may lead to both a better sense of freedom and more confidence in our abilities as a creator!

I share these blog posts for two primary reasons; 1. as an action of expression from my being out into the Universe using the means of the internet and 2. in hopes that my logic, which I admit is relative to me personally, strikes a cord for others and helps them in their own journey as a creator! Today I had a discussion with two people who are both friends and clients of mine... As I was trying to convince them of the logic I was sharing, that by the way was intended for their benefit, it hit me once again like a ton of bricks that my "ACTIONS WITHIN THE PHYSICAL REALM OF CREATION WAS NOT GETTING ME ANYWHERE" because, at least in theory, I am better suited for manifesting from the spiritual realm but let me explain that...

I believe that those people we see as successful and accomplished are experiencing what we judge as success because at some level of their being they have found or created their own niche as a creator. This niche is grounded in either the physical realm or the spiritual realm. People who are successful either focus their efforts based in the physical or the spiritual and in some people we can tell which one and in others we cannot. I can only make assumptions about others so let me share my logic by using myself as an example... Taking my history into account there is no question whatsoever that I am a conscious creator and a very good one at that! Personally speaking my path has led me to creating the physical reality I desire by using the spiritual realm. In other words, those things that I have really wanted in my life and have caused to come about and manifest derived from my focus on the spiritual realm and not the physical realm.

I have rarely, if ever, created what I have truly desired through the physical realm (i.e. through hard work, who I know, academic credentials, using my own financial resources, leveraging my business acumen or portfolio of completed work, etc...) and believe me when I tell you that I have tried very hard to do so! Almost every single significant manifestation into the physical realm for me personally has started as a sincere prayer telling my GOD and the Universe what it is I seek for myself and asking for assistance in its manifestation! In fact, it is my intentional determination using the power of the spoken word through prayer that has caused the physical manifestation of every significant thing in my life!

Today this wisdom hit me once again "LIKE A TON OF BRICKS" and for many of us we have to become aware, of our own accord, of wisdom before we can apply it to our benefit! Before I chose to blog about this on My Vision Board Online I did some self-evaluation... My self-evaluation concluded that my thought process is validated, at least for me personally. I assume it may be a valid fact for others as well! If you have been able to create the things you desire in your life through your hard work, who you know, academic credentials, your own financial resources or through leveraging yourself then you may be better at creating your reality through the physical realm. If on the other hand you have used prayer, visualization, meditation, sheer determination through discussions with yourself or other like kind activities then you are like me in that you are better at creating using the spiritual realm! These ramblings are just my thoughts put forth and I thank you for your warm positive energy projected my way!

Never give up on what you desire!

In the first three posts I outlined my primary desires for myself that "I WILL CREATE INTO MY REALITY" through the same diligence I have expressed from the core of my being many times! Every post since has been an expression of my dedication to seeing to completion my personal choices for myself at this stage in my life! The key to your success and mine is the same you know... "NEVER GIVE UP" and refuse to take no for an answer! You really do create from inside outward into the world we live in! Henry Ford said, whether you think you can or you think you cant, either way you are correct! The words "THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS" are not something you say and agree to they are very, very real!

The only way I have been able to manifest the things I want into my life personally has been through determining what I want then keep choosing those things to manifest into my reality until they actually do! Many, many times I have been successful at this and I am just like you with no special training or no particular dogma I adhere to! I know you can do it if you really want it! That burning desire inside either is natural or it has to be created through focused dedication to speaking forth from your being what you choose for yourself! I wish all the readers of my blog the very best of success in your lives!

Being clear about what I choose for myself in daily prayer!

Every spiritual text, motivational guru and self-help teacher say the same thing... Be clear about what you want for yourself and then once you are clear keep choosing it over and over until it manifests into your reality refusing to take no for an answer! This is "EXACTLY" how I have created out of thin air myself many times and now I am working to do so again! Below is an image I created representing the climb up in a luxury apartment building to represent the foundation and floors I am creating through making known my choices in prayer. My first three choices are my foundation and they are priceless to me as I have outlined in an earlier post. My second set of three choices are essential in creating the life I choose and my third set of three choices are the icing on the cake with ice cream so to speak to ensure my long-term maintenance of the life I have created for myself! I could use a different analogy however this one works fine for now!

I know that I am a creator and you are one too! We each have a choice to either believe in our own ability to create out of thin air or to allow the sub-conscious and conscious thoughts that have become routine to create our reality for us on auto-pilot! At 43 years of age I have chosen to be a conscious creator and while I have created my desires many times the seasons of life have not been as well managed by me as they could have been! In "Conversations with GOD by Neale Donald Walsch" GOD says that he wants what we want, nothing more and nothing less. GOD also says that if we do not like what we have created (i.e. our right now) to simply choose again and create a new reality! Since change is happening all the time we can either participate in "how" and "when" things change or chooser to let things happen!

I created the model above to visually depict what I have come to realize as my own personal truth! My own personal truth is a combination of what I feel inside and information that comes to me from outside resources that I strongly feel to be true for me! I know that "truth is relative" to each individual however how things work can be agreed upon! This is my 5th post to this vision board and I am so very happy to have this site to share my thoughts! Please wish me luck in my journey as I pray sincerely that everyone who sends a positive thought or prayer out from their being for me is blessed tremendously for it! Thank you!

My 4th post onto my vision board online, staying focused!

I watched a video today from Spirit Science that life is a cycle and in a cycle there are ups and downs however they should not be viewed as "bad" or "good" from a big picture view point. This is not to suggest that at times, especially before what you seek manifests, things are sometimes bad for they can be! One of the things that can be hard is staying focused on your intentions and goals! For me it is easy to allow "TIME" to convince me that things are not going my way however I admit that in a state of "not knowing" assumptions are no more accurate that a random guess! I therefore choose, from the core of my being to remain focused about what I want and intentional about choosing it over and over until it manifests!

Part of staying focused also includes "REFUSING TO TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER" and only accepting yes as the answer! Now we do not always get what we say we want however we do have the ability to influence our reality and the better we get at this the more likely we are to have a very real impact on the yeses being more abundant than the no's or maybes! I choose for yeses to be more frequent than no's and for my focus being on the Universe manifesting what I desire not the possibility that it may not be granted! The only decision maker here is me! I choose yes to all of my requests and choices!

No matter if you are alone or in the middle of chaos you can always pray! For me personally prayer is my method for creation and I pray diligently day and night in my own unique way! I pray because I know that GOD and the Universe hear me and that my words have the GOD given power to create out of thin air whatever I desire! Even when I am down, unsure, consumed by worry or fear I can always pray and prayer does make things much better! I have experienced first hand the awesome power of prayer! I encourage you to pray, even if and especially when things seem hopeless or even worse, not moving in your favor, that is the very best time to pray! I choose for my prayers to have an immediate positive impact in my life and for my conscious choices to take authority over all negative thoughts!

Thoughts are creative! Thoughts are a very important part of the reality we create! Our thoughts are far more powerful than we even realize and it is an accepted fact that each of us have over 60,000 thoughts per day! The question is how many of my thoughts are counter-productive verse how many are proactively positive? Then how many are just random... Good question and I do not have an answer however I am very aware that I must, for my own sake, be mindful of my thoughts. When a negative thought happens we can erase its power by replacing it immediately with a counter positive thought or a statement that the thought we just had does not serve us and therefore is not what we really choose! The process does get easier as it has for me! I choose to think in a positive way and to avoid obsessive, negative and fear based thinking as it will do me no good! I choose to stop each time I realize that a thought I just had was negative and present from my being a clear replacement! I know thoughts become things and it is my choice to be a better conscious creator!

My first three posts onto my vision board online outlined my most sincere desires and in this fourth post I am being very clear about what I choose for myself as I work to consciously create the reality I desire!
