Let life lead you

It's very popular, and has been since 'The Secret' came out, to believe that you only need to hold your focus on something and then it will come to you. The thought is seductive but very difficult to implement. It is said that one must keep focus in at least 14 seconds for it to work and that is quite a long time if you try.

Part of the challenge is also the illusion that what you want is going to sail into your life without you needing to do anything for it. But you cannot become an author without writing a book and you cannot become a millionaire, taking no grip on your life, no matter how you become it. If you win the lottery, you need to buy a ticket. Are you going to sell a lot of online courses you need to create the course, and you need to do marketing for people to know that you exist.

Still, doing all that, it's many who fail when they try to manifest their lives in that way, even when they believe, truly believe that what they want will happen. Why? You can do whatever it takes for life to change or generate more money in your life, but still nothing happens. Why is it so?

Maybe you are focusing on the wrong thing. Maybe what you try to create into the world is not your life's task? Maybe it's not where your talent truly lies? For some, to find out what they truly are here to do is the solution. To find that one thing that gives you deep joy and access to your own power when you are doing it, as it resonates through your body as the one thing that is for you. It can take time to find this one thing, and you can try a lot of other things first, but when you find it, or find back to it, then you know.

If you believe in reincarnation and know that we plan our lives before we are born again, the answer is simple. What you are trying to do is not in your plan. You haven't put in your plan that you are going to be a millionaire, but it says what you will learn by having little or no money in this lifetime. Then you will not have the brake that a better economy will give you no matter how much you work for it. What you are here to learn in this life, only you and your helpers will know, but lessons from having a lot of money will not teach you the lessons you need to learn.

If we take both aspects into consideration, I this the best we can do is to let life itself show us where we are supposed to go. To surrender to the universe and life can be difficult. We have strong minds and powerful wills, but to be open too, and conscious of the signals life tries to give us, is the first step. In the introductory phase, it's smart to shelve all thoughts and wishes about what you are going to do in life, and just go inside and feel when life is showing you something new. When you start to pick up these signals, you need to choose to walk the path it shows you even if you feel that it's scary or if it's something completely different that what you thought you were going to do in life. It's many surprises that have led to great talents.

Courage is one of the most important components here. Courage to let go, courage to trust life, courage to step into something new, and courage to recognize who you truly are and what you can give to the world.

What is your gift to the world?
