There's no secret.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock lol, you will have heard of manifestation to some extent.
We’ve heard of books such as ‘The Secret’ and quotes like “what we believe, we receive” ~ there is absolutely tons of this stuff out there…
So many of us upon hearing about this are like “Ok, that’s it, I’m going to wish, visual, create” this life of my dreams… After all we want out of our suffering right?
Most often what we’re wanting is along the lines of money, a big house, a sports car, a relationship with a desired partner and so on…
However, there is a huge flaw in these teachings/books/videos and I’m not here to tell you not to follow them, that’s entirely up to you.
I’m also not saying there is anything wrong with having goals and working towards them.
However the fundamental thing to remember here is that it is the “character” *insert your name* who is ‘trying’ to create this special life that we ‘believe’ we need and that it must look differently to ‘this’.
When we realise who we truly are ~ which is the awareness and creator of this life, we see that actually ‘this character’ doesn’t have a clue what is truly best for us!
True manifestation is already here! Is already unfolding… We are simply not recognising that this is happening because the small self (identity) believes that what is here right now doesn’t match up to what we believe or wish life should look like…
One way to start recognising that life is all ready working out for us is to simply start noticing what we do have and what is being offered to us ~ we can even practice gratitude for this… This gratitude is entirely natural too but practicing is ok until we see this ;)
Gratitude for what we already have and recognising that we already have everything that is perfect for us ~ perfectly in each moment! (Yes really!) helps us to get out of the way of what Life (The YOUniverse) knows is best for us.
It doesn’t mean sitting back and doing nothing, we still move with Inspired action alongside what is here now. It also doesn’t mean that everything will go swimmingly.
But life is gifting us everything that is in our best interest already (ALL ready!) moment by moment.
We often push away what is here in favour of what we ‘believe’ we should have… Yet how can we go against the universe! That is simply absurd when you see the truth! 😂 and not to mention creates inner turbulence, seeking and striving!
Life is the gift that keeps on giving… But are we ignoring it, trying to change it, believing we know better than Life ~ The Universe itself!
If you are happy and grateful with what you have right now, you’re going to be happy and grateful with what you get… If you’re not happy and grateful with what you have right now, you’re not going to be happy and grateful with what you get!
Of course not and on top of this, nothing is fixed and anything can be lost so any wanting of some future thing or event is fruitless.
So even if you are not living in your dream home right now, you have a roof over your head and a bed to sleep in right? ~ look at your own life ~ what do you have? how could it be worse?
The silver lining is always here already ~ You see?!
Anything can happen, anything can change ~ at any moment! But if you’re always pushing away what you have right now, if you’re often feeling down wishing things were different, you are getting in the way of Life’s flow and the beauty that Life is offering You.
So true manifestation, what is it? ~ Well it is actually already done ~ it's simply a matter of noticing.
We’re just believing that it isn’t and this ultimately comes from the fixed belief with the identity rather than the True Self.
Notice and be grateful for life’s flow and get on board with the magical mystery of what already is… Even if that looks differently to how you think it should look.
The satisfaction.
The happiness.
The beauty.
The abundance.
The opportunities.
The gift that you are looking for IS already here (glaringly obvious) and if you’re not seeing or feeling that then you’re looking the wrong way my friend.
What has life offered you that you’re attempting to push away or discard?
Change from the inside and naturally the outside will reflect that too.
Nothing changes, yet everything changes.
