The old saying is true, life is just what you make it; life is just what you want it to be. We have all heard this saying in one form or another, whether from an encouraging grandparent or while listening to When You Wish upon a Star by Jiminy Cricket. But what is meant by the phrase ‘manifesting abundance’?
The truth is that at some point in your life someone has more than likely told you that you are a master of your own destiny, and that you get to choose the life you wish to live. What you need to realize is that everyone possesses the power to manifest abundance, and everyone controls their own manifesting process.
You need to face the fact that the reasons for your life being the way it is right now is due to your wanting it to be just as it is. Yes, all those dead end jobs, mounting bills and unhappy relationships were all your making all by yourself. Only you are to blame for manifesting your present and past reality.
It may not be a happy thing to come to terms with, but there is a bright side to this moment of realization. Now that you know that you are the architect of your own life, you also know that the power to change your life is within your hands. You can begin to manifest abundance starting immediately; all it takes is a change in your attitudes.
The most powerful things you have are your thoughts. You create the life you want by the way you think and how you think. All those worrying thoughts of how to pay the bills only creates more bills. When you spend time worrying about money, you only create more money problems for yourself. If you only focus on the bad things in your relationship, you only create more problems within the relationship.
You need to think about all the positive things in your life, since this is the key to manifesting abundance. Focus on the good things you already have. For instance, you woke this morning breathing on your own; you have a roof over your head, clothes on your back and something to eat. Take the time to realize that you are fortunate right now and be grateful for those things. When you are thankful for all those good things, you can more clearly focus on manifesting even more good things into your life.
Do not blame others, since in reality it is the way you think and say is that which creates your current life. You may say that you want happiness, success and wealth; however, you must focus your thoughts and words on being happy, successful and wealthy.
As an illustration, try one of the thought experiments which follow. These will show you the power that your thoughts have. When you change the way that you think about life, you will change your life. You have to stop worrying about money, especially about having enough money or wanting more. Don’t think about any of these things at all. What you should focus on instead is what you already have - think about how you are financially well off enough to pay for the things that you have now.
You need to think and believe that you have all the money you need. Pay close, conscious attention to your thoughts, so that they do not slip away and allow your old thinking patterns to sneak back in. You have to think that you already have everything you want in your life when you want to manifest abundance.
As they say, like attracts like. If you keep your mental focus on the good things in your life, the result will be attracting more of these good things to you. All of us can have the lives that we want; it is only a matter of learning to use the power of your thoughts and manifest abundance.
