Visualize It

Visualizing who you want to be and where you want to go. Taking thoughts and ideas and applying them to your life. That is what I would like you to do today.

If you see yourself as a world-traveler, begin by visualizing yourself on the plane heading over to the far east coast or to the 'down-under.' Next, read and read more of travel books, magazines and blogs, but continue with the visualization. How do you pay for it? Enter sweepstakes (you never know if you are the ONE in a million), look for funding through contacts, through schools, via google and etc. Keep that visualization going and make it yours.

If you see yourself as a lawyer, doctor, actor or a shoe designer, with hard work, you can become one. Research what it takes to become who you want to be, read about all the masters and upcoming prodigies of your desired field, profession or trade. Visualize who you want to become, WORK YOUR ASS off and it will become manifested. If you would like to start writing short stories, recount the good(and not so good) times in your life. Your best material will come from what you know best, your life. Visualize, visualize, visualize and begin recounting your memoirs and past experiences.

Although there are several individuals who have come to fortune and success as heirs, there have also been individuals who have made something out of nothing, the proverbial 'rags to riches.'

Visualize it and make it yours. And if you cannot visualize it just yet, can you believe the pictures below?

As You Believe

As You Believe
Create Completeness

The creative power of the universe is infinite. A single molecule's destiny is as important as the consequences of the largest supernova. Human potential is subject to this power, but because we are sentient beings, each of us is permitted to choose whether we will struggle against it or work in tandem with it. When we give voice to our desires through focused meditation or solicit the help of spirit guides, we draw upon the universe's creative power to achieve certain ends. However, because our words are not all the universe hears, the response we receive may surprise us. The discourse we establish through our appeals is a blend of speech, thought, intention, and subconscious reflection. When we ask the universe for something, the unspoken message is that what we want does not exist, and the universe accepts this as truth. Conversely, we manifest completeness through affirmations in which we declare our desires as if we have already obtained them.

When we affirm that we are fulfilled instead of articulating deficiencies, we are asserting that contentment is a natural and necessary element of human existence. Our essence is an expression of fulfillment—the universe wants to satisfy our needs and desires. When we describe our realities in positive terms, we are not denying the challenges inherent in existence. We choose not to focus on lack or dissatisfaction because we understand that the energy of our thoughts will determine the response we receive to our entreaties. Ask yourself how you would feel if your wishes were granted, and then allow yourself to internalize that emotional state. Try to create a picture of satisfaction so vivid that its reality is unquestionable and tell the universe that your vision is fact. At the close of your appeal, express your gratitude, as it is your acknowledgment of the truth of your fulfillment that will set the creative power of the universe into motion.

Working in perfect unison with the creative power of the universe will empower you to manifest spiritual realities in your material existence. As you affirm the beauty, peace, and goodness that already exist within in your life, your capacity to sense and understand their influence will become increasingly sophisticated. To meet your needs and achieve your desires, you need then only banish all thoughts of emptiness so that the energy of completeness can attract fullness into your being.
