I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can’t find anybody who can tell me what they want. ~Mark Twain
As the architect of my life, at times I can’t quite answer one simple question, “What do you want?” I look down at the blank page that the story of my life is to be written on and I freeze up. I know I am not the only one with this problem, but others are dealing with their own experience, and I can only deal with mine.
Then there are times I think I know what I want, and I wonder why I don’t see it manifesting in my life. It is because there is not the same amount of feeling, or conviction behind that want as I would have against something I don’t want, only to see that manifest itself into my life.
I am coming to realize, it is not so much that I don’t know what I want, but I don’t know how to get what I want, or I allow fear and doubt to creep in. I realize I am afraid of either the hard work to get what I want, or fear looking foolish, and not taken seriously by those around me, whose opinions I should not even bother myself with. Not because they don’t matter, not because I don’t value their opinions, but once again this is MY reality, their reality is their own. I am responsible for only my own happiness, and the quicker way to that happiness is just going ahead and stepping out in faith and doing what I need to do, in order to achieve it that happiness.
My point? There is an easy three step process to achieving all that you desire. Ask, believe, and receive. It is not my job to figure out how it will happen, or how it will manifest into my life, it is only my job to ask, then with unwavering faith to not just believe that it is going to happen, but it has already happened, and then receive it.
I am just flat out impatient When I plant that seed in fertile soil (ask), I begin to water it diligently (faith), however because of my impatience I tend to dig that seed up every now and then and check on its status, trying to see if it has sprouted even in the tiniest bit (doubt). I for some reason just can’t leave it alone. So I am working on building up that inner confidence to just know that I am in the process of receiving all of my blessings and just be grateful.
