🌟 For decades - we've been taught very specific and unquestionable laws around the art of "chasing dreams" or "manifesting a better life".
💪 We've been taught that it takes HARD WORK and BOLD RISKS.
🩸 We've been told that we must SACRIFICE everything else until we receive it.
🧠 We've been programmed to believe that there is a "secret" way of thinking, acting and deciding - one that a small group of special people "have mastered" and that we could adopt in order to achieve the same results.
🎻 If miracles can only be created with a secret recipe of RIGHT MINDSET combined with RIGHT DECISIONS and IMMACULATE SELF-CONFIDENCE, and if only few living humans can actually accomplish it (as if it were some Paganini piece for PRO VIOLINISTS ONLY), it's no surprise that most of us wonder if we will fall short.
💫 And, as always - "dreams" are not just about career. They're about family harmony 👨👩👧, romantic bliss 💕, creative expression 🎨, and the feeling that we're doing something sacred with our brief time on this earth 🌍.
It's what we all seek and what we've all been taught only few of us can "truly" have.
❌ But those old-school beliefs could not be more wrong.
🚫 Chasing dreams isn't about INTELLIGENCE, SPEED or COURAGE.
🛠️ Building a better life isn't about WORKING HARD all the time and paying attention to nothing else until you earn the big prize.
⚠️ Taking risks doesn't guarantee anything. Working hard doesn't guarantee anything. Even believing in yourself doesn't guarantee anything.
✨ Big manifestations and mind-blowing strokes of good fortune are invited in by mastering the skill of SURRENDER.
🌈 MANIFESTING a dream is:
🟣 FIRST: The art of CLARIFYING what you want;
🟣 SECOND: The art of BELIEVING you have everything you need to attract it;
🟣 THIRD: The art of trusting the impulses that come from within that tell you when and how you should ACT in order to get yourself closer to it;
and
🟣 FOURTH: The art of SURRENDERING the rest to the universe.
🌌 SURRENDERING is knowing that the universe has you covered without any further interference (and trusting it is still working even when the evidence says otherwise).
🧘♀️ SURRENDERING is remaining still and patient after you’ve CLARIFIED, BELIEVED and ACTED, letting go of the rest and trusting that if further action is required, the universe will be sure to let you know.
💬 The universe always lets you know.
⚡ It makes you feel the strong impulse to DO SOMETHING SPECIFIC when it is time.
🔥 You feel this insatiable hunger:
“I must go talk to that person.”
“I must go online and look at what jobs are open right now.”
“I must search this specific thing on Google, and something special will come up.”
💫 Impulses are how the universe sends us messages. Impulses are what it uses to let us know it's time to act. Impulses are those "crazy ideas" that lead us straight into the MIRACLES. If you don't have an impulse then you're not supposed to act.
🌠 You see...when it comes to the art of manifestation, SURRENDERING is far more important than ACTING.
🪶 ACTING takes little effort and is usually quick and painless when you do it with the proper timing.
💫 The rest has more to do with LETTING GO than striving for control through our desperate actions.
🕊️ So long as you DON’T feel that impulse to act…
…so long as a strange energy within makes you feel calm and peaceful and even happy while you wait…
…so long as you feel whole and “CORRECT” remaining still…
…the universe is asking you to SURRENDER, not ACT.
🧿 When you know you’re in a time of SURRENDER, your only homework is to hold on to faith while you wait.
🥺 SURRENDER is hard. SURRENDER is the part we struggle with the most.
🔄 It is the part that always brings back those negative thoughts we thought we had moved past.
🚪 We knock on a door happy and excited, and it is locked. We feel rejected. We wonder if we failed. We don’t SURRENDER.
💔 We're convinced we're about to meet someone special. We need to make it happen. We obsessively ask to be set up and swipe like a crazy person through every picture on all five dating apps. We don't get the "matches" we want. We feel dumb for even trying. We stop seeking before the universe even has time to activate everything. We don’t SURRENDER.
🏪 We build the store or restaurant or site, it reflects our visions, and it is live. The sales don’t come (or they are not enough). We think we failed. We don’t SURRENDER.
💭 And thus, we react.
“I did it wrong.”
“This isn’t right.”
“I need to do something else.”
“I need to change the strategy.”
“I should be farther ahead.”
❗ And guess what? ACTING from that state of mind is never a good idea.
😟 It is ACTION from anxiety, fear and self-doubt.
😰 It is ACTION from a lack of faith in the universe.
😖 It is ACTION from a vibration of desperation.
💥 That kind of ACTION only pushes the dream farther and farther away.
✅ In manifestation, CLEAR GOALS matter, ACTION matters, BELIEVING IN YOURSELF matters…but SURRENDERING is the most important part.
🌀 SURRENDERING is where many reverse the process (and sometimes push away their own rewards).
🧠 As humans, it is important to sometimes feel almighty and powerful — like we can take on the reins of our lives and manifest anything we want.
⚖️ But that powerful energy will always need its polar opposite in order to be truly balanced: a deep-seated faith in something greater than ourselves.
🌌 Manifestation, after all, is a co-creation between us and the universe.
🎾 It is a tennis match. When the ball is in our court we call it "ACTING". When we hit it back to the universe we call it "SURRENDER".
🧁 Think of the "vibration available" as the OVEN 🔥, your CLARIFYING, BELIEVING, and ACTING as the ingredients 🥚🥄, and your SURRENDERING as the waiting ⏳.
🍰 Those who only CLARIFY can't bake the perfect cake.
🍳 Those who only ACT can't bake the perfect cake.
🚫 Those who CLARIFY, BELIEVE, and ACT but have no gas in the oven can't bake the perfect cake.
✅ Those who do all four AND know how to wait for the "DING!" 🔔 can have the cake (and eat it too) 🎂.
