of the matter. Manifestation that focuses on the ‘what’ – or the specific form of the future – may set you up for feelings of failure, lack and unworthiness – that is, the ‘what’ may become the rope that you use to hang yourself with.
Put simply you can lead a life high in meaningfulness, where you spend a lot of time thinking about the past and the future – but NOT be happy.
WHAT FEELING ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Beautiful pictures on that vision board, especially the ones of the lovely beach and palm trees, BUT is that what you’re really after? I’d suggest not. What we think will make us happy is not necessarily what will actually make us happy. This is because happiness is not a rational logical thing – it is not controlled by the rational mind – it is a feeling. Manifestation therefore needs to be focussed on the ‘why’ and the feeling or essence that you are looking for. So, I dig the beach and palm trees now because I see that the feeling is one of divine calm, relaxation, connection to the earth and yes, while we’re at it, how about a few cocktails? But I digress… The feeling or essence comes first; the
form comes second. Clarifying the ideal self involves one’s core identity – who you are, or, maybe we should say, who you aspire to be in terms of values and life philosophy. Then a healthy dose of hope – comprised of a good amount of optimism – and then passions, visions and calling. The result is a positive effect – emotion that creates intrinsic
motivation and will. In this state the form of what comes to you is secondary, fluid and able to surprise – hence stumbling on happiness. So, back to the key question –
manifesting outcomes or stumbling on happiness? Maybe it should be manifesting outcomes – in terms of states of being – AND then stumbling on happiness. Clarify how you want to BE. Use all of those lovely visualisation techniques to see yourself as happy, fulfilled, engaged, giving, loved, loving and full of life. Then simply allow life to surprise you. You never know what might happen, and it certainly takes the pressure off and releases the burden of judgement. ■
