Stop Manifesting What You Don’t Want

How to stop manifesting what you don’t want.

I was talking to a client while I was at the All Life Center here in central Ohio and I was drinking a cup of coffee (surprise!) Anyway the topic began to hover around attracting what we don’t want.

Like I said, I was drinking a cup of coffee. The coffee I was drinking wasn’t my favorite (Duncan Donuts) nor was the mug I was drinking from my favorite mug, however I was still able to enjoy myself and beautiful day and the rich conversation.

What happens for a lot of people is that the moment they notice they are experiencing anything other than what they really want, they begin to head down the slippery road of self-sabotage. They begin feeling bad that they can’t stop manifesting what they don’t want in life.

Take my coffee mug for instance. It was almost the exact same mug I love and have at home, except it was green. My favorite coffee mug at home is robin’s egg blue. I love it so much I purchased 6 of them in total at 6 different times. The green mug I was drinking from was not my favorite color at all.

Let’s imagine for a moment that I have been working on manifesting Robin’s egg blue coffee mugs just like my favorite one every time I have a cup of coffee, but this time the mug was green. There are 2 distinct roads I can take. One leads to that slippery road of self-sabotage and more of what I don’t want- more green mugs, and the other leads to more enjoyment and more of what I do want-more robin’s egg blue mugs.

Most people believe that manifesting what we want is done sometime in the future or long before what we want arrives. But truly the BEST time to change the course of what you are manifesting is when you are in the experience of having what you don’t want. You want to break the habits of thought that fuel the attraction of what you don’t want. The best time to break a habit is when you are in the middle of it and consciously choosing to do (or in our case think) something different.

I’m using the example of a coffee mug to make a point. I have no emotional attachment to what kind of mug I manifest, so it is much easier to shift my attention to the color I do want. When we deal with people, personalities and activation or triggering energy, we seem to want to blame someone for the ‘horrible’ experience of drinking coffee out of a green mug. This sets us up to travel down the self-sabotaging path that leads once again to our manifesting more green coffee mugs!

For years, I did the most horrible things to myself when I was having an experience of manifesting what I didn’t want. I would walk away from what I didn’t want and I’d reason and judge myself as unworthy of experiencing what I really wanted. I would remember all of the times I had negative thoughts and doubts and I’d blame myself for manifesting the wrong thing. I would think there was something wrong with me for not figuring out how to get what I really want by now. I would imagine that I was being punished for something I did as a kid. Then I’d go to work, I’d work harder on my mental game. I’d set goals and create blue coffee mug vision boards, I’d write, “I am so happy and grateful now that I only drink out of Robin’s Egg blue coffee mugs.” I’d work intensely on my mindset for 21 then 40 days, “I can manifest, blue coffee mugs.” “I am worthy of blue coffee mugs.” I would even have deeply spiritual experiences of being ONE with Robin’s Egg Blue Coffee mugs. I’d do mirror work and feel myself experiencing those coffee mugs in as many ways as I could imagine! I worked my tail off trying to manifest what I really wanted.

Imagine how upset I was each time I didn’t get what I wanted! It was an endless spiral of every one else getting what they wanted except me! The whole time I was activating those around me to receive the wealth and wisdom they were asking for.

Start Manifesting What You DO Want

When I notice that I’m attracting something I don’t want, I explore how I feel about it. The more triggered I am and turned off by not having what I want, the more I’m aware that I’m resisting the ACTIVATIONS that are being triggered by what I do have, in this case an unwanted green coffee mug. There are treasures waiting to be revealed in those disappointed, pissed-off, angry emotions.

Now when I want to attract robin’s egg blue coffee mugs, I go about living my life in the most enjoyable way I know how. And if I attract a green coffee mug instead of a blue one, I no longer travel the path of self-sabotage and self-judgment. I am committed to the luminary path, the path that liberates me from past programming and conditional living that keeps me stuck. I let self-appreciation guide me through my feelings. I acknowledge all of my feelings about attracting green coffee mugs, and I don’t dwell in them. I seek the wisdom that is in me, and that wants to emerge from within the emotions and the feelings. If I’m sad, I feel my sadness and appreciate myself for being courageous enough to be with the emotions until the magic that is usually on the other side of the emotions can see the light of day.

When I’m emotionally charged, triggered by anything in my environment, I don’t try to manifest something completely different right away. I go inward and I ask the tough questions, what is this anger hiding? What activation am I resisting? What light and I not revealing? I do this without making myself wrong for having feelings.

When I’m in the space of appreciating what is, I can appreciate myself for who I am.

I begin to appreciate myself and the space I’m in and I create the space and vision where robin’s egg blue coffee mugs are all there is. Eventually, I begin to notice how similar the green mug is to the blue one I really want. I give thanks that I’m attracting clear evidence that I am open to receiving blue coffee mugs. “Look, this mug is exactly the same shape and size as the blue one I want. How awesome is that!” I appreciate myself for how far I’ve come and how good I feel right now in this very moment. I appreciate myself for continuing to believe that I’m a powerful magnet to all sorts of good things. I appreciate myself for listening in school and learning that that GREEN is actually made of blue and yellow. Instead of measuring my progress by what I am manifesting, I now measure my progress by how I feel no matter what I am manifesting and how confident I feel in my ability to be authentic about how I really feel. Now when I’m frustrated, I surrender and turn over the image of robin’s egg blue coffee mugs to my guides and I LISTEN to my intuition and I LISTEN to the energy all around me. I don’t worry about robin’s egg blue coffee mugs. I connect with the WISDOM of all the colors of mugs and I take action on inspiration and my inner nudges. I appreciate all the support and help I receive. I appreciate myself for being more and more open to receiving all of my desires and most importantly I give myself a break. I don’t go looking for what is wrong with me, or what resistance I may still have. I embrace the new wisdom that is emerging about myself and the world. I allow my conditional paradigms to shift to a more unconditional beliefs about possibility and opportunity.

And I wait. I wait until I feel an inner peace and I wait until that inner wisdom nudges me forward in the direction of the feeling of drinking from robin’s egg blue coffee mugs.

The BEST time to shift your habits of thought to something different is when you are in the middle of thinking them.

I’m talking about attracting coffee mugs, but you can substitute anything you want and see how this helps you shift how you feel about yourself when you don’t have what you want. It could be the guy, the house, the car, the job, the health. It doesn’t really matter. The goal is to shift how you feel about yourself in the present moment, with or without what you want.

5 Steps to Making Decisions in Business

When you are made a decision to build a business you began a process of attraction. Most people think that just because they made a decision to build a business, they will attract clients who want to throw money at them.

Wishful thinking!

What actually happens when you make a decision, is you begin to attract opportunities. Your decision to grow a business, make money, find more love, really when you make any decision about anything in your life, you begin to attract an abundance of opportunities that lead you to the next step towards manifesting what you want.

And that is GOOD!

But how do you make a luminary decision and discern the difference between an opportunity for growth and an opportunity to stay on the hamster wheel of frustration and overwhelm?

Years ago I had a conversation with a client who felt called to become a public speaker. At the time of our conversation he was already highly skilled and passionate about speaking and his income from speaking wasn’t quiet enough to quit his day job. His desire to answer the call to become a public speaker put him in a high vibrational state where he was attracting a lot of opportunities and he was having a hard time making a decision about which opportunity to say yes to, if any. I think at the time he had 3 firm opportunities in front of him all of which would have been great in some way, but they were all pointing in slightly different directions. I don’t remember the details exactly, but two were different job opportunities to work for two different non-profit organizations, both would allow him to travel and speak. The other was a higher paying job that would allow him to use his leadership skills more, but didn’t include any public speaking. He told me how frustrated and overwhelmed he was trying to decide which opportunity to say yes too. He was feeling a lot of pressure to decide. He told me, “I don’t want to make the wrong decision and I’m afraid that if I don’t make a decision now the opportunities will pass.”

After I explained that he can’t make the wrong decision because all opportunities come from Source and all opportunities are for his personal expansion, so they all lead to something pretty amazing, we were able to look at the opportunities individually. I also explained that the direction the opportunity will flow is set based on our vibrational state at the time we make the decision. Decisions made from a place of fear will attract more to fear. Decisions made from the point of view of scarcity will attract more scarcity. Decisions made from a place of expansion and possibility and trust, will lead to more expansion, possibility and trust. That is how the law of attraction works. Our ability to choose is our most powerful superpower.

I shared this five step decision making process that can really help you line up your energy with Source so you can make an empowered choice and feel confident in your choice:

Step One: Identify the Opportunity.

Go through the opportunities in front of you one at a time. With this client, I had him list each opportunity and look at each one individually to see where his energy was most aligned. I encouraged him to list everything he knew about each opportunity.

Step Two: Ask yourself “ Do I WANT to do this?”

When I asked my client, “Do you want to do this?” He said yes to each of the opportunities except the one where he would make more money and not have opportunities to speak. I didn’t cross it off the list yet as I wasn’t 100% sure he was saying no to it from a vibration of abundance.

Step Three: Ask Yourself, “Do I feel guided, or called to say yes to this opportunity?”

This is the most powerful question, especially for luminary leaders who are experienced in knowing how they really feel. An opportunity that will get you closer to your calling and your life purpose, will have sort of a pull of attraction that goes beyond mental reasoning. Your body will feel like it is magnetically attracted to the opportunity, as if it were actually calling you forward through an invisible force. For this client, he felt called to one of the non-profit positions that required him to speak to large groups of people.

Step Four: Ask Yourself, “Does this opportunity add more life to everyone involved?”

This question should be an easy one to answer, however there are a lot of coaches, mentors, and leaders who are operating out of integrity with themselves. Divine opportunities that are truly designed to move you closer to or expand your life’s work will add more life to everyone involved. The person who is bringing you the opportunity will be increased, your family will be increased, you will be increased, and any 3rd parties will be increased by a divine opportunity. If the opportunity is one where you feel you are getting something for nothing then check in with your guidance or ask the person bringing the opportunity to you what do they expect to gain from the opportunity. Listen to your heart. Alignment will be easy if the opportunity is something where everyone is increased by your decision. In the case of my client, one of the non-profit positions felt like the opportunity was given to him from out of a scarcity mindset where he would not be valued as much as he would be at the other non-profit position.

Step Five: Ask Yourself, “Does this opportunity violate the rights of others? Does it take away their right to choose? Will anyone be harmed?”

This is another question that should really go without question. None of the opportunities took away anyone’s right to choose, nor did they harm anyone, or violate their rights, however the question did create an opening for him to talk to his wife more openly about what the opportunity he felt called to take might mean for them as a family. Thankfully he was skilled in authentically sharing what he really wanted with his wife and she was will him so they were able to both participate in the decision making process even though in the end it really was my client’s choice.

In the end, my client chose one of the non-profit positions and he traveled and spoke to about 50 audiences in one year. He started being invited to speak to other audiences and now he makes his living as a full time public speaker.

How to Activate The Most Empowering Superpower In The Universe

Have you ever wished you had access to some superhuman superpower that would make you all-powerful and aid you leaping tall buildings with a single bound, or simply overcome some mountainous obstacle in your life?

Well, the crazy truth is you do have the power to overcome obstacles and make massive change in your life and if you really wanted to leap a tall building in a single bound, you could do it too. The only thing you need to learn is how to activate the most empowering superpower in the universe.

I’m not talking about some magical superpower like the biological regeneration, molecular manipulation, or even a super-sonic scream, what I’m referring to is something that everyone has access to however most people have no idea how to use this superpower to their benefit or to the benefit of others.

Have you guessed what this superpower is yet?

If you guessed that your power of choice is the most empowering superpower in the universe, then you are 100% correct!

Your power to consciously choose is the most empowering superpower you’ll ever need to develop. When you consciously use your power to choose, you stop being a victim of circumstances, events, and situations in life. You become the master of every moment in your life.

When you consciously choose a path or a direction in life, you are empowered to ask for and receive help. You give yourself permission to do what you want instead of doing the things you think you “should” do. You always have a choice in how you feel, how you respond, what action you will take, and where you want to go in life.

The biggest mind disease is thinking we don’t have a choice, when in fact we always have a choice. Some decisions are harder to make than others, however there are always options.

Here are some powerful north star choices:
“I choose me!”
“I choose expansion.”
“I choose LOVE!”
“I choose to be loving.”
“I choose to receive love!”
“I choose clarity.”
“I choose life.”
“I choose to create.”
“I choose to trust.”
“I choose to have faith.”
“I choose to hope for better things.”

And my favorite, “I choose ease!”

Of all these, the most powerful choice we have is choosing LOVE & Appreciation for ourselves.

Stop Trying To Figure This Out

Dearest Luminary Entrepreneur, The hardest thing you’ll ever do is to stop trying to fix it. (whatever “it” is.) There is nothing to fix, or figure out. Your expansion and alignment come from being at peace with where you are. Feel yourself feel those feelings. Transmute the thoughts of “I should be farther along than this!” to “Look how far I’ve come!”

Please, stop trying to figure out what is wrong with you. There is NOTHING wrong with you. I appreciate you. The only work you need to do is appreciate yourself. And when the ego says, “I could never do that!” That is when you dive deep and learn to appreciate yourself the most. In ALL of my years of learning, praying, growing, studying, mastering the mind, writing, then teaching, and training, and coaching, and speaking, and creating, NOTHING has made as big of an impact on my life than the work of self-appreciation. This is not just true for me, it is true for the people I’ve shared the sacred art of self-appreciation with. You can’t own your greatness until you accept and appreciate yourself where you are.

There is a lot of talk about ‘gratitude,’ however I’ve found that gratitude misses the mark for me and I practed gratitude (still do to some extent) consistently for 10 years. Gratitude says, “Thanks for being in my life. I like having you here.” Appreciation says, “I see the VALUE in your presence in my life. I get you. You increase who I am.” Discovering the value of yourself is the work of self-appreciation. You don’t see it all at once, however when you practice appreciating yourself daily, through writing, sharing with others how you appreciate yourself, you release all of the “shoulds” in your life and you find your authentic desires. The law of desire sets in an you can’t help but grow with more ease and grace. You have more faith in your direction, a clearer mind, an open heart, and you become aware that everything you’ve been looking for is right there inside of you all the time.

I hear you asking for help to find what is broken in you. The only thing that is broken is your ability to love and appreciate yourself.

You think your abilty to manifest is broken? No, just your ability to appreciate yourself. You think your confidence is broken? No, just your ability to authentically appreciate yourself. You think your relationship is broken? No, just your ability to appreciate yourself. You think your finances are broken? Appreciate yourself! YOU are your point of attraction. YOU are the center of YOUR universe. YOU are the light you seek. YOU are not and never have been broken.

I know there is nothing I can do to convince you that BIG changes come from this simple practice. You just have to try it for yourself. And let me know how the work of self-appreciation works for you.

How to Create Ease and Peace of Mind
How to Create Ease and Peace of Mind in Your Business.

Having the right mindset contributes to at least 80% of the success or failure in business.

We think that because we are growing a business it has to be hard work. However I’ve found that when you are expressing your gifts and talents through your work, sharing your authentic value with clients, and you are receiving value in the form of profits, your work becomes so natural that it energizes you.

We view business from a very limited perspective and our ideas of business usually come from the entrepreneurs that surround us, or even our mentors. We look at someone’s thriving business and we think, “My God! That looks incredibly hard! There is no way I can do have a business like theirs.” or we think it has to be complicated.

In truth most businesses started with one simple idea. One simple a-ha moment where an entrepreneur thinks, “I really love this _____!” I think can make money doing this.

Here are a few tips to help you create ease and peace of mind while you are building and running your business:
- Start out with the intention to allow building your business to be simple and easy.
- Ease and peace of mind comes from knowing that you and your business are connected. (you are one!)
- Since you are your business are one, your business can guide you!
- Follow your intuition and inner guidance along the way and create your business from a deep connection to Infinite Intelligence, God, Source, from your DNA (your Divine Natural Alignment)
- Know where you are going. I am not a fan of goals however I am a big fan of creating a vision for your business.
- Practice breathing. A lot. Sometimes we hold our breaths and hope for the best, and that is not good for our bodies. Learn to breathe deeply and appreciate yourself for being in the game of life instead of watching from the side lines. Breathing is a powerful tool when you are mastering peace of mind and creating ease in your business.

How Do You Break The Cycle Of Negative Thought Patterns?

I have a friend who is very, let’s say, “consciously negative”.

He is aware that he has negative thoughts and has years of low self-esteem to support his negativity. The good news is he wants to change.

Recently he asked, “Dawn, what can I do to break the cycle of negative thought patterns? There has to be a way out. I thought I was doing pretty good, thinking positively about my future, but my results still look the same! Is there any hope for me?”

There is!

I believe in people. I have to. I have seen people who I thought would never wake up, walk through their deepest fears and create amazing lives for themselves and I have seen people who I thought would surely conquer the world, sit back and do… nothing.

Here is the a key to overcoming tough obstacles. It doesn’t matter whether I believe in you or not! It only matters whether you believe in you!

The first key to overcoming negative patterns of thought is to understand that it is OK. People have negative thoughts. What is more harmful than negative thoughts is negative emotions. So give yourself a break, especially when you start your journey. It is ok to feel. When a negative thought or a negative emotion becomes a habit, then you may need some help transmuting the negative into positive thoughts, beliefs and emotions.

Ok, second, believe you can think differently.

So.. are you willing to think differently?

Do you believe you can think differently?

Then that is all you need to start! A belief in yourself and a healthy shot of tequila!

Just joking! No alcohol is needed to overcome the obstacle of negative thought patterns, however you will want to celebrate those little wins.

Start to give yourself credit for responding to situations differently than you have in the past.    Notice the changes in how you feel and pay attention to how your thinking changes and celebrate the success of your mind!

Third, the real secret to transmuting the negative to the positive lies in how you respond when you notice you are in a negative state. A “state” is when your mind and emotions are synced to the same frequency of thought. A negative state is when your mind and emotions are synced to a negative frequency of thought. Transmuting negative states to positive states happens in the moment you are aware of the negative state you are in and you consciously choose to be in a positive state. You are going to want to get out a pencil and write this one down: HOW you treat yourself while transmuting this energy sets your attraction point.

I spent years mastering transmutation of states from one state to another, by beating myself up for feeling the negative emotions. I thought something was completely wrong with me and this was so far from the truth. You can manifest lots of external stuff through changing your state through force, however you will discover just how amazing your are when you learn to appreciate all of you, the negative and the positive in the moments when you are transmuting your negative thoughts to positive thoughts.

Maybe now is the time to break out the bubbly! Personally, I don’t drink, but I love sparkling grape juice to celebrate the many opportunities to appreciate myself while breaking new layers of doubt, worry, or even indecision.

I’d love to hear how you break the cycle of negative thoughts!   Just take a minute and post your tip below!

Are You Tuned Into the Flow of Abundance in Your Business?

Do you experience the flow of abundance in your business?

Abundance is all there is! Are you in tuned to the flow of abundance in your life? How about in your business?

At this very moment, you are either experiencing an Abundance of prosperity and supply or an Abundance of lack.

Which is it for you?

I was working with a client recently who asked me how I come up with so many different ideas that help businesses of various shapes and sizes prosper so easily, and I explained, “I tune into the abundant flow of ideas that are already out there waiting for someone to take the idea and run with it. I tune into abundance.”

Then I asked her where in her business she would like to benefit from tuning into abundance. She laughed and said, “I’d like to tune into an abundance of referrals so I won’t have to work so hard finding new clients!”

Until she was consciously aware of what she wanted she was unconsciously tuning into it’s opposite- she was tuning into the abundant of lack of referrals instead of the abundant flow of referrals who were excited and ready to work with her.

The same is true for you in your business. Where in your business would you like to benefit from tuning into abundance?

You’re either experiencing an abundant supply of clients or an abundant of lack of clients.

You are either experiencing an abundant supply of referrals and new ideas or an abundant lack of referrals and new ideas.

Which is it for you?

When you begin to think in terms of abundance as all there is, you begin to think entirely on a new plane of awareness about what is possible for you and your business.   You begin to see that you have a choice in what you focus on in your business.

The moment you tune into the abundant supply of what you want in your business, your intuition and imagination will begin to give you ideas and plans on how to harvest the supply.    All you have to do if follow the plan and take inspired action to create a tidal wave of prosperity in your business whenever you want it.

Remember, you can have an abundance of headaches, struggles, and stresses in your business OR you can have an abundance of freedom, ease and joy in growing a truly amazing business that serves more and more people every day.

The choice is yours!

I’d love to hear your stories, leave a comment below and share your experiences how you tune into the abundant supply of prosperity in your business!

Until next time,

Be GRATEFUL, THINK BIG, Take Inspired Action, and Enjoy the Journey!

How Gratitude Can Help Your Bottom Line

Quite frankly it took a long time for me to really understand and appreciate gratitude for it’s power and simplicity. I have come to know gratitude as the most powerful feeling you can possibly experience and when I went beyond simply feeling grateful for the things in my life and really started to add gratitude as a part of my business everything changed.

If someone would have told me that gratitude is something that I could turn on at will, or that it was a choice, I might have thought they were crazy!

You see, I thought that in order to feel grateful for anything in life, the people, circumstances and situations around me needed to change… THEN I could feel grateful. I didn’t realize it was something that I could choose. When I got this straight in my mind and I started to use gratitude as a tool to see the value in every area of my life, not just the money in the bank, the way I conducted business began to shift from wondering where the next client was going to come from to having an steady stream of referral business. Now, I’m not saying I’m an expert on gratitude, or that I get it right every time. I certainly don’t. But I do make gratitude a priority. Those circumstances and situations that weren’t so agreeable in the past began to take new form. The true magic was happening inside of me. The outside world didn’t change however how I felt about the ebb and flow of life and business did change when I decided to be grateful for all of it!

When I was a teen, my grandmother would send me stationary and packages of thank you cards regularly. I think she was trying to tell me something! And to tell you the truth, the only time I used them was to send my grandmother a Thank You card for the Thank You cards! I was such a results oriented person that I just couldn’t connect with how gratitude could be something that would make any difference in my life.

It seemed so simple to me that the results are revealed in the numbers, but relationships are not built on numbers. They are built on connection. And it is the connection we have with people that creates the results! The relationships we nurture in our business DO create and increase our numbers.

Don’t take my word for it. This is something you’ll have to experience for yourself, if you are willing.

Not only has gratitude given me a new sense of freedom over my emotions, it has also given me freedom in my business and in my numbers, and for that I am forever grateful.

Gratitude is an emotion that keeps you connected to where you are, where you’ve been, and where you are going. It keeps you connected to yourself, your friends and family, and to the source of all creation!

I still have to remind myself to use the Thank You Cards that I buy, it is not easy for me to remember, however I make it a priority.

I’d love to hear how you attract more business with gratitude.

Until next time, BE grateful, think BIG, Take Inspired Action, and Enjoy the Journey!

3 Fears that Stop You From Winning in Business

Do you know the cause of success and failure in YOUR business?

Most entrepreneurs don’t realize that there are hidden fears keeping them from the success they want. Learn to recognize these three fears when they arrive so you can take courageous action immediately.

Which of these fears keep you from winning in business?

1. The Fear of Failure/Success

The fear of failure and the fear of success have the same symptoms. You know you suffer from either, if you start many projects and never seem to complete anything! You set goals and can’t seem to move yourself into action. Shift your focus from you and to the good you are providing the world through your product or service. Complete the projects you start, and try focusing on growth instead of goals.

2. The Fear of Poverty

Fear of poverty shows up when you work alone, you rarely seek outside help. You may feel like there just isn’t enough time, or money to go around. Also you could feel like there is not enough of YOU to go around.

Learning to practice abundance consciousness helps calm the fear of poverty. Practice using affirmations.

“There is enough time to do all that needs to be done.”

“There is enough money to invest in things that will help my business grow.” And hire competent people to help you when you need it.

Try these affirmation starters: I am enough to…, I know enough to…, I attract enough to….

3. The Fear of Criticism

And finally, the fear of criticism manifests as the inability to make a decision. This is sometimes masked by the need to constantly bedoing something. If this sounds like you, stop what you are doing. Then mindfully ask yourself, “What decision am I avoiding making right now?”

Use the “5 Steps to Making Winning Decision” in a previous video and follow up with action!

Don’t let the fear of failure, poverty, or criticism stop you from winning in business or in life!

Watch the video version of “3 Fears that Stop You From Winning in Business” on my archive page

Until then, be grateful, think BIG, Take Inspired Action, and Enjoy the Journey!

Are You Asking for Clarity?

Have you been asking for clarity about something in your life? Do you just want to know HOW to do something or HOW it will turn out?

Seriously, I am cured of asking for clarity!

I can’t tell you how often I’ve affirmed clarity.. “I write with clarity and purpose.”

“I easily receive clarity about this project.”

“LORD, give me Clarity!”

Well, I am finished!

The moment I heard my minister say,
“You’ve been asking for clarity when you should be asking for trust!” I knew he was talking to me.

Some days are like that, you wake up and you are so aligned that you know everything you hear is a message for you and for your personal growth. Those are the days when I’m aligned with the Divine, aligned with my path and aligned with myself.

Lately, I have to admit, I’ve been…waiting!

Waiting for what?

Waiting for clarity. Clarity for what? Well, EVERYTHING!

It’s not that I really stopped trusting the Divine, trusting myself and trusting my path, because that is not totally true. I do trust that I am tuned in tapped in turned on. However, my focus sort of wanders into the future. And not the kind of wandering that says, “Hey dream big! This is what is possible for you!” It starts with one simple thought of doubt, then another and before I know it I am questioning my direction. “Lord give me clarity!”

Sunday’s message was the one I needed to remind me, “Your course is already set. You have a destination to reach. You only need to trust in yourself and trust in your alignment with the Divine. Just trust.”

I really didn’t get the fullness of that message until I shared it with client, “You are asking for clarity when you should be asking for more trust.”

And I got it.

Think about it.

Clarity is a powerful tool to create or cast a vision of where you want to go. It sets the entire universe into motion to bring you opportunity after opportunity so you can manifest the vision and take the next natural step. Clarity makes everything easier.

Clarity is the opposite of what you want to ask for when you are ON your path.

Asking for clarity is like saying, “Show me HOW I am supposed to do this!”

Here is your gentle reminder for the day, “HOW is not your business!”

Once you create a clear vision of where you are going, the path will show up, one step at a time. Ask for more TRUST, not more clarity. Ask for trust in divine timing. Ask for TRUST that you will be ready for the next step. Ask for TRUST that Grace is leading the way. This is especially important for luminaries who know they are being lead by a vision that is much bigger than they can imagine.

When you trust that the future WILL meet and exceed your wildest dreams, you enter a magical world of hope, possibility, and co-creation at it’s best.

Your path will be shown, but sometimes you have to trust that it will show up while you take the next first step.

Remember the scene where Indiana Jones stepped onto an invisible bridge? He really had to trust that the bridge was going to show up. If I ask for clarity after following my intuition to take the next step, be shown a long winding road that might get me to my dreams eventually. However if I trust that the road is there and I trust in myself and my ability to move forward with my talents and gifts then… I might cross an invisible bridge!

So I won’t be asking for clarity anymore, and if I do, I’ll have this blog post to remind me to ask for trust. I will seek my freedom through trusting myself, trusting my path and trusting my connection to my intuition.

Trusting myself to get to my destination is way more empowering than waiting for clarity.

Enjoy the day!
