Your feelings are mighty tools!
It is all very simple, actually. Our feelings help us create our reality!! How wonderful can that be!
Wanting something is a process that moves within us an avalanche of other processes; we start to imagine what we want and actually feel the happiness we embrace when we finally get what we want!
Suppose you're dreaming of an exotic holiday; such destinations are very luxurious and demand a great amount of money. On the other hand - you may have the money, but not the time to go. There can be many reasons for you to think that this "dream" is not going to happen, until you realize that YOU are in charge!! Yes, you are!! What you need to do first is to get in tune with your wantings and feelings that follow them. Imagine yourself looking through the holiday brochures. FEEL the excitement while leafing them, FEEL the happiness when you recognize the beach of your dreams, FEEL the excitement and JOY of getting on that airplane, boat, whatever you like... Unpack your bags in your thoughts, step out onto that beautiful terrace and breathe in the salty air of the sea - so many wonderful sensations overcome you, don't they? You can do this with ANYTHING you want. FEEL the joy of meeting the person of your dreams, FEEL the happiness of OWNING that house, FEEL the contentment of that promotion, FEEL the joy of making up with your family... Just FEEL those GOOD sensations, and allow them to manifest.
Our feelings are mighty tools. Goethe says it so beautifully "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."
I know that Providence does indeed move too. Happiness means so many different things to many different people. For some people, success is earning a great deal of money, living in a big house and driving an expensive car. For others success is being able to stay at home with their children. Or just getting along with a sibling/spouse/parent day after day. Success comes in many forms and has many meanings. What success are you seeking in your life right now?
People who do experience an abundance of Joy in their lives all have several things in common, the first and most important being that they simply expect it. When a problem or challenge arises, they believe that somehow, things will be sorted out in ways that are to their great benefit and joy. When they desire to advance in their careers, they truly expect that someone will appear to give them a boost up. No matter what, they know that they will connect with the right person, the right set of circumstances, the right knowledge or answers that they need to continue moving forward in ways that allows life to ever more fully Bless them. And when we are feeling Joyful, expressing our Joy and feeling all the Love that must spring forth from within when we are in a state of Joy, we then become powerful magnets for that which we call Good Luck. It happens easily and effortlessly, it flows into our lives in greater and greater abundance. It sweeps us along as a mighty and powerful force that knows no limitations or boundaries!!
So there we are creating our thoughts, concentrated on how they FEEL and manifesting them into our lives!!!!! All we need is to get in tune with our feelings - recognize them, acknowledge them, and act on them by simply FEELING them the way we want them to manifest. Dwell only on good thoughts that bring joy to your heart, and peace to your mind. Dwell on solutions, rather than the problems. Feel the Universe approaching you with the greatest LOVE there is - the LOVE of being one with everyone and everything in that very Universe.
You deserve to be happy. Allow yourself to be!!
May your souls keep smiling, with love, ~~~ Maja ~~~ :o)
