Remember God’ s time and our time is different so if you keep changing your mind, you manifest nothing in your life. Set your goal and stick to it, have an inherent knowledge that it is already yours, and for heaven sake be patient. If you continually change your mind, you will manifest NOTHING.
Have you asked for something but you did not feel deserved it? If you believe you don’ t deserve something God picks up on these thoughts and says“ ok, I will cancel that order because you don’ t believe you deserve it”. When you request something, know that you are worthy of it and if you don’ t feel worthy of it say affirmations to work on your feelings of self- worth. In my case, I think part of it had to do with not feeling worthy as it is a huge honour of having an exhibit in the Unisa gallery. How are you responsible for the outcome? Each and every one of us is responsible for everything that happens to us. Look at what your internal dialogue has been saying and alter the negative thoughts, and replace them with positive ones. How did you contribute to this? Consider if you were retrenched. Did you hate your job and detest going to work every morning? Were you always moaning to anyone who would listen about how much you hated your job? Seriously do you not think that the universe heard you and gave you what you were asking for?
Pay attention to what you are saying, thinking and doing will ensure positive outcomes. Within a month of changing this saying to,“ I would rather be in an amazing relationship”, I met my fiancé.
The most important thing I realised through my art critiques is that this change in my path is for my own good. In the end it helped me to present an amazing exhibition. My lecturers were not there to break me down, they wanted me to be the best I could be, even if it meant the vision I had in my mind had to be altered significantly. This does not mean the end of a dream, the dream was simply shifted to become an even better. I was simply trying to control the dream instead of focusing on the work to attain the goal. Many times we think we have it all figured out but God knows better than you do. He may alter your plans so that in the end you achieve and receive more than you have ever asked for.
Dream the impossible dreams and accepted that sometimes things have to change so that your life can be AMAZING. At the time of change we are often blinded by fear and we don’ t see the blessing in the situation, it is only later that we look back and realise the change was necessary for us to move forward into greatness.
Be careful what you ask for? God answers all of our prayers so be precise and clear about what you would like. If you are not exact, God will give you what you focus on including your emotions and fears as your thoughts are subconscious prayers as well. Most of you who know me personally know that I have had a fear of marriage and avoided relationships that could lead to commitment. My daily mantra was,“ I would rather be alone than be in a bad relationship”. Do you know what God heard, He heard that I wanted to be alone and voilà, I landed up alone? I only figured this out when I heard one of my clients say it and it was like a slap in the face. I suddenly knew what I had been doing wrong and God had given me exactly what I had asked for.
