To all aspiring Miracle Makers:
How are you doing with the blessing exercise that was introduced to you in this post? Have you found yourself resisting it? Or has it been somewhat difficult for you to bless other people who are enjoying the kind of good that you are seeking for yourself? That’s OK… if you keep going. Please read on:
Is there something you’ve been wanting and wanting, but somehow have never fully managed to acquire or achieve? Whether it’s a fulfilling relationship, a beautiful physique or financial prosperity, one of the biggest obstacles to having your desired condition(s) may be envy.
Is envy blocking you from attaining something you want? You can test this by noticing how you feel when you see others enjoying what you have been missing. If you feel even a little bit resentful, sad, depressed or discouraged about their seeming good fortune (in comparison to yours), you have work to do — that is, if you want to get past wishing and hoping and start having your desired conditions!
Here’s why envy (in all its forms, from anger to sadness) is such a big obstacle to getting what you want: because at the root of it, envy is a powerful, emotion-packed affirmation that you cannot have what the envied person has.
You can prove this to yourself: If you were standing in a well-stocked buffet line and saw something delicious on the plate of the person ahead of you, would you feel envious? Of course not. Your feeling would be delight that the buffet was offering this item, and anticipation of enjoying some of that same dish yourself when you reached that point in the buffet line. We only feel envious if we believe that we cannot have what we are desiring.
If in reading the above you’ve identified some form of envy in your habitual thinking or feeling patterns, congratulations! You are now ready to remove one of the major obstacles to having what you want.
Note: many of the following examples are related to finances, but these same principles apply to relationships, health, fitness and every other area. You will be able to easily see how to adapt them to apply to your particular challenges and needs.
Here is a powerful manifestation principle, one so important that it is nearly impossible to overstate it:
Wish for others the good you want for yourself.
This principle, applied diligently, will turn your envy obstacles into stepping stones for you, by transforming your consciousness. It will change your polarity from one which is currently pushing what you want away from you, to a polarity that is magnetically attracting the fulfillment of your desires.
Here’s why:
Your subconscious takes everything personally. For example, if you see someone driving a brand new BMW and you think “that so-and-so, he probably doesn’t deserve that nice car” you have just made that nice car “off limits” — to YOU. Your subconscious mind will conclude that you don’t deserve one.
Further, if you entertain thoughts such as “those rich so-and-sos make all their money by conniving and cheating” then guess what? Your deep mind (the part of you that controls most of your circumstances) will conclude that there is no way you can ever get rich and still think of yourself as a decent person.
So what solution does your subconscious mind come up with? It solves the problem by keeping you down financially. Whew, that was close! You might have gotten too much money and been one of those “rich so-and-sos” and we can’t have that, can we?
This same principle applies to any thing or condition you want for yourself, from a great relationship to a beautiful and fit physique: If you resent others for having it, you can’t have it yourself. Let’s apply this principle specifically to finances:
How do you feel when you see someone who is better dressed than you? Driving a much more expensive car than yours? How do you feel when you drive by a luxury home? When you pass an expensive restaurant and see happy, well dressed people dining in opulent surroundings?
If the answer is anything less than “joyful and exuberant,” you have work to do. And this may require some real soul searching.
Many of us were raised with negative biases against “rich” people. Those beliefs can only do one thing for you: keep you poor. You must find a way to let them go if you are ever to become financially prosperous.
Here is the attitude you need to cultivate from this moment forward: Whenever you see an example of wealth, luxury or abundance anywhere, tell yourself, “Hooray! This is great! What a nice car! What a beautiful home! What a wonderful world we live in, where this kind of thing is available! Well done!” And you must cultivate this attitude until you really mean it.
At the same time, be sure to affirm that you have the ability to have, enjoy and keep the same benefits that you are now admiring when you see others enjoying them. This will help to clear up any lurking beliefs that you are somehow “jinxed” or “unworthy” in this area of your life.
Stay aware so that you can catch yourself every time you feel a twinge of envy, resentment or sadness over other people’s positive circumstances, and then get to work celebrating instead of envying. The benefits of this practice will quickly become clear.
The energy you generate as you do this is so radically positive, and creates results that are so different from the the effects your old reactions were creating, that you will immediately begin to attract to yourself a better quality of life and experiences.
Power tip: This powerful technique works in perfect synergy with all the above to maximize your benefits. Do it sincerely, do it a lot, and expect breakthroughs!
