The Manifestation Process

May 16, 2010

Dear Friends,

Do you think you would be happier if you could instantly manifest whatever it is you want to have, do, or be in your life? Would you be happier if you could just snap your fingers and immediately a brand new car would appear in your garage, or suddenly you would find yourself in a brand new job?

Believe it or not, I don’t think you would find that kind of instantaneous manifestation very satisfying—at least, not on an ongoing basis.

Like I mentioned last week, you are an innately creative being. You will always be conceiving of things you want to have, do, or be in life. And you will always be going about the business of manifesting those ideas in the material world. But that process is . . . well . . . a process! And the real joy of manifesting—of creating—lies in the process itself.

Take a painter, for example. Is a painter happy when he or she has finished an original work of art? Of course. But the real enjoyment of painting came with each and every stroke of the brush. It was the experience of painting—not just having painted—that was fulfilling. Do you think a painter would continue to paint if every time he or she visualized a picture it just magically appeared on the canvas? I don’t think so.

Like a painter creating a work of art one stroke of the brush at a time, you manifest what you want in life one stroke of your “oars” at a time. Don’t make the mistake of putting off your happiness until you actually reach that “destination”—until you actually accomplish your goal, fulfill your desire, or realize your dream.

Whether you are building a home, raising a family, or launching a career, consciously choose to savor each and every moment of the journey. Because that, my friends, is where the real satisfaction lies.
