From Dreams to Manifestation - Part 2

Continuing from part one, let's examine the type of person who consistently achieves their desires. These individuals are often determined to obtain what they want, and nothing can deter them. Some will go to great lengths to ensure they succeed, and some will make sure they get it at whatever the cost. The key to their success is their diligence. The secret to their formula is that they do not see obstacles; they only focus solely on the end goal. They become almost obsessed with achieving their desires. However, remember my previous point: it is necessary to remain balanced. You can achieve your goals if you fully commit your mind to them. That is the essence of manifestation is: envision what you want and fix your mind on making it happen. But if you're unbalanced, the choices you make along the way might lead to undesirable consequences.
My husband and I have learned this difficult lesson, and although we haven't yet fully achieved what we envision, we understand that following God's path and allowing the Spirit of God to guide us will lead us to our desires—not in our timing, but in the timing that is meant for us. My husband has said many times, receiving what we desire before we are ready can be dangerous. How? Imagine you aspire to wealth and suddenly earn a large sum. If you're not balanced and prepared for the responsibilities that come with wealth, you could lose everything (including yourself) as quickly as you gained it. Numerous stories are told about this exact scenario. Now, I am not saying they can not earn it all back; most people who are truly driven will manifest it again, but the toll that this process can take on you can hinder you at some point in life. Consider another scenario: say you become wealthy with a substantial net worth, but at the expense of your health—is it truly worth it? Yes, you achieved what you wanted, but without balance, you can't fully enjoy your desires. I could provide countless scenarios about the cost of pursuing our desires, but let's focus on what is necessary to truly realize our visions without sacrificing our well-being.
First and foremost, I realized that I needed to strengthen my foundation to not only achieve my desires but also to live a fulfilled life and understand that I am worthy of what I desire. My foundation is based on the Most High and the teachings of Jesus. Jesus, whom I prefer to call Yahusha, taught us about manifestation. As I mentioned earlier, manifestation is linked to our faith. Therefore, I first needed to work on myself internally to connect with the source of life. When you work wholeheartedly on your spiritual connection, you begin living in truth, because as Yahusha (Jesus) teaches us, the Spirit of God is the Spirit of truth. Once you become completely honest with yourself, you start to identify the areas of your life that need improvement and healing. Then comes the work to become healed and ready for more.

Truly wise scenarios, life can be a paradox. However, it's a process, and any worthwhile pursuit is going to take time to blossom.
