Ask the Right Questions to Manifest Your
Dreams
What
Do You Really Want?
What do you
want? I’ve found myself asking that question a lot lately…to both myself
and my clients.
As we go through life, we often think we know what we want and we
actively go after it, sometimes with a vengeance. But when obstacles crop up,
we may find ourselves frustrated, confused, even angry. It’s not supposed to be
this way, we think to ourselves. If we focus on what we want, truly desire it and go after it, we are
supposed to be able to “manifest” it.
Why
does that not always happen?
I think it is because sometimes we have not truly
identified, after all, what it is that we
really want. For when we think we
know what we want, we are only getting the opinion of our conscious minds.
Deeper inside, we may have a variety of conflicting and opposing desires and
intentions. Unless we identify these and evaluate them, we will never truly
know our real intentions. We will have lost the opportunity to get the opinion
of our most important part – our inner, intuitive selves.
I know from hard-won experience that my inner,
intuitive self has a better grasp of what I really want than my outer,
conscious self does. So when I come upon obstacles or delays in my efforts to
manifest my goals, I step back, revisit the situation and ask for fuller,
deeper awareness. I look at the long-range view of my goal. Is there some part
of it that I really want, but perhaps not all of it? What outcomes or
consequences will emerge once I have attained my goal? Most importantly, what
will I have to give up for it? What will I not
be doing because I am doing the thing I set out to do?
Asking and reflecting on
these questions, I often come to understand that I am unconsciously pulling
myself in one direction at the same time that I am pushing forth in another
direction. But finding out what I really want is only half the battle. The nest
step is to decide…do I really want to “manifest” or do I want to follow a Path?
Is it my will or Divine Will that I wish to bring to bear on this situation? I
can choose either one, and the universe will not care. I simply know…from
experience…that the universe probably has a better plan.
So nowadays, I do know
what I want. I simply want to know I
ask for a clear, obvious sign of the universe’s intentions for me. And the wisdom to recognize it when I get it.
