Just putting it out there...

I was talking to a friend today about her life. I learned she's Canadian and I asked her how she got here. So she gave me her background and her journey, and one thing stood out to me the most, was her way of manifesting the future.

She is a business owner, and a doctor. She told me when her and her partner decided to go into business together, they would discuss their plan, weekly. They would put down what they wanted their business to look like. They would plan out their business structure, the community they wanted to build, and the environment they wanted to create. She said that no matter what happened, the universe was shoving them forward. She also manifested her own personal dreams when she was younger. She always knew what she wanted to do, and what she wanted her future to look like.

One thing that stuck with me, was the universe shoving both of them forward. Like all of us, they experienced set backs and realizations of growth. Because she’s Canadian there were issues with her visa. One also needed their own journey of growth alone. That was accepted and cherished. Regardless they continued to move forward, they also kept their manifestations alive, and guess what? The things they manifested years ago has now come to fruition. Despite bumps in the row, or “setbacks”, it has all come to light. Now she didn’t say it was easy or it just happened one day it still required work.

Her story and her dreams were so inspiring to me. I grew up thinking I needed to pray about every little thing. I thought I needed to ask God for approval or a sign that I was on the right track. And if that didn’t happen, then it was obviously wrong. That was not the truth for me. For some, it is, and I can respect that. I'm learning, even though that isn't the right path for me, manifesting my dreams is a reality. Whether you have a religion that you practice or whatever your personal belief is, there IS power in your words. You should scream your dreams from the rooftops. I am going to practice this. I am going to actively work towards my dreams and by actually saying them and planning keeps them fresh in my mind. It’s a great way for me reevaluate my direction. I can ask myself if what I'm doing is still moving me the way I want to go. What do I really want? What steps do I need to take to make it a reality?

One thing I do need to watch for is manifesting negativity. One thing my therapist reminds me of is to not speak or worry too much about negative things. My anxiety takes over and I start to think of what-ifs. They are specific and thats when it gets scary. It’s easy for me to give into those negative moments and dwell in what could happen. It’s so toxic and so scary that I have to be careful. I can manifest good or I can manifest bad. They are both equally as powerful.

I know I can do it. I know I can have what I want. I can have it because I am going to make it happen! Watch out world because here I come! (Cue: Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball)
