Ultimate success depends on your ability to remember the importance
of adaptability, a willingness to sacrifice, and a belief in the vision and the
future.
Experiencing a setback or an outright failure is the worst time to
give up. Actually, failure is a great time to learn about who you are, what you’re
made of, what you did wrong, and how to avoid making the same mistakes.
Right after the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906, when most
businesses were in disarray and most people were traumatized, founders of the
Bank of America dug out their safes, dragged them down to the wharfs, and placed
signs on them: “Let’s rebuild San Francisco better than it was before!
Cash loans available here.”
Every disaster offers opportunities for growth and great wealth,
but it’s up to you to decide how much you want it.
Our mundane world overflows with magic and mystery—if you only
become aware of it. Your thoughts, words, and deeds are the most powerful tools
for manifestation imaginable. Of course, it takes more than just thinking nice
thoughts, wishing, daydreaming, or doing only what you want to do.
My experience suggests that it takes concerted effort to manifest
anything worthwhile. Indeed, when I set my goals on something and start working
to marshal my thoughts, intentions, words and actions, the universe tends to throw
me a curve. Some other opportunity comes up, or the reason why I wanted to achieve
the goal shifts.
Manifestation is also about passion and a willingness to adapt. If
you passionately want to accomplish or manifest something and will do whatever
it takes to achieve that end, then you will reach your objective. Most people
are afraid and unsure. If you let those things stop you, then you will never manifest
anything. We are all afraid and unsure. It’s not about being those things;
it’s about what you do with those feelings. The best thing to do is to acknowledge
them and then to take the risks involved to go for the next step. If you are knocked
down or trip, don’t give up and don’t feel like a failure—just
know that it is all part of the mystery and magic required for the manifestation.
Setbacks, rejection, pain, and disappointment don’t mean that
you are a failure or that you will never manifest what you want. It’s all
part of the process. You must pick yourself out of the mud, brush yourself off,
and adapt and persist until you manifest what you want. We all are miraculous,
magical beings. Determined people can accomplish awe-inspiring things. Each of
us is capable of that as well.
Taking full responsibility for creating your life is difficult. It
is easier to blame others than to assume your own power.
Magic is real, and its essence is mystery. At its root is manifestation,
for what good is magic if it is just meaningless ritual or ceremony? To achieve
change, we need to think, talk, and then act. Seldom do we align these three aspects
of our being and seldom do we focus them clearly with intent on what we want to
magically manifest in our lives. As you think, as you speak your desires, and
as you act upon them, you will manifest positive results in your life.
To me, this screams of far-flung magic, exquisite mysteries, and
whispers of what manifestation is in our reality. Every one of us is able to manifest
magic.
So, stop manifesting a life you feel victimized by, and start manifesting
a life overflowing with magic, joy, and ecstatic living. If you want to minimize
negative events, you just have to manifest a better reality for yourself. PE
