Hello from my heart to yours!

I just read the first few chapters of Mike Dooley’s new book, Manifesting Change, and just connected some major dots. I have been telling myself that since I haven’t already arrived at my most powerful dream in “real life,” there must be something wrong with me, OR I have limiting beliefs somewhere that prevent me from stepping fully into what I want.

Mike likens manifesting to using a GPS. You put in the exact destination with as much detail as you can, then follow the directions. Along the way, you don’t know through your physical senses that you are getting any closer to your destination, because the territory is unfamiliar and you’ve never been there!

It can look like you’re making no progress at all, and you want to turn around and go home. Then, without warning, you turn the corner, and THERE IT IS!

Here’s where I had an epiphany, much like that semi-annoying, but gets-your-attention GPS voice that says “recalculating” when you stray from the directions ( and try to outsmart the Universe by getting mixed up in the how-it-will-happen stuff).

I realized that it’s been me gumming up the works all along by declaring that I MUST have limiting beliefs that prevent me getting what I want. In fact, I don’t have any limiting beliefs if I say I don’t! It was ME SAYING SO, that has limited me! I already AM on my way to my wildest dreams, and the more clearly I know that, the sooner they get here. All I have to do is be clear about that destination, seeing it as having already arrived, make movements and take some action in the general direction of my desire; the Universe does the rest.  This does not mean sitting on the couch with a picture of Hawaii, waiting for things to happen; it means taking inspired action toward what you want, even if what you try doesn’t seem to be working at first.  It could be that every so-called failure or dead-end, has just been a steping stone to what you want, and without having gone there, you wouldn’t be prepared for the next step.

So, I’m “recalculating,” and telling myself what crazy, joyful fun it will be to relax, and live my life knowing I really will get there, that in fact, I already AM there, just waiting for the physical world to catch up.  I don’t have to control the how, and THAT is a stress I am ready to release.  I am officially resigning as “back-seat driver” to the Universe!
