“Love the moment, and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries.”
Corita Kent
Many people are having a hard time trying to grasp and implement the LOA into their lives. They think by just visualizing money or a car, it will materialize. Not so. In order to truly manifest your dreams/desires/wants one must not need what they are asking the Universe for. The more one needs something the more one tends to focus on what is not and in turn, the Universe will grant you exactly what you do not want. Focus on what it is that you truly desire. Visualize it in your head as if watching a play being performed. Feel in your gut that it is real. Feel in your soul that you are truly grateful for what you are visualizing. Now step back and let it go. Let the Universe take control of manifesting it into your life. Do not need. Do not beg. Simply be.

You were born with potential
You were born with goodness and trust
You were born with ideals and dreams
You were born with greatness
You were born with wings
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t… You have wings
Learn to use them and fly!

As She Thinks
She makes life more complicated than it is
She sets high goals for herself
Higher than she probably should
And when she fails, she is disappointed
She has regrets, she tries to erase the past
What she fails to realize is each event of action
In the past is part of who she is
Just as much as her skin color or height is
Part of her entire being
By trying to eliminate an event in the past
She is essentially removing a layer of her skin
Without that layer, she is and becomes more exposed
More susceptible to disappointment
More vulnerable to the truth, Seen naked by everyone around her.
This type of drama results in her quest
A quest for an answer
Not just any answer
The answer to her pain, Her suffering, Her sorrow.
She finds herself trapped, chained to her new life
A life which suffocates her inner being
The power to free herself from the chains of Her new life, lies inside of her.
Bound by the chains of her own life,
Chains to which she holds the key,
She fails to realize there is no need for such a struggle
She finds there is not a test she must give herself
In order to survive
Her true test is to honor her gut
Honor and trust her intuition
Just be
Be who she really is deep inside her core
Acting solely on her gut instincts
Never questioning why or how and simply living
Replacing anger and frustration with love and kindness
Rather than constantly questioning why or how
Becoming angry and frustrated at her own abilities
As she thinks she must do.
She is constantly evolving in a circle
A circle which just continues to repeat life’s events
Until she learns the lessons she is destined to learn
She will not be released from the circle
The teachers will not appear until she is ready to accept the lessons
She always ends up back to where she started
She is put there for a reason
And placed on a particular path
She struggles to survive while on this path
Thinking it will result in a different outcome
She must learn to trust the intuitive being inside of her
Trust that she will and does know the right answer
Trust that her path will lead her to a utopia
A utopia of her own, unique to others
But ironically the same as others
This is the existence she is striving for
To simply exist in her homemade utopia
But the reality is, there is no end to her struggle
She will still continue to question, doubt, contradict
Search for the answer once again
The circle continues to perpetuate itself
The vital energy is constantly
Flowing, flowing like a river
Gushing with emotions while
Displaying a sense of calmness deep inside
The truth will inevitably surface
She will despise the truth
She will ignore the truth
She will embrace the truth
She will learn to love the truth
The truth will be in her every breath
She will no longer need to make
Her life complicated
Simplicity, silence, oneness
All knowing and knowing nothing at all
Childlike in her ability to perceive
What is real
What is genuine
What is truth
Never questioning why or how
She is content just to be
Finally
Just to not know
Just be in awe, just to exist
And all will be as it should.
