We were born with the unlimited potential to intentionally create (use the law of attraction) to manifest all of our heart's desires. Together, as Conscious Leaders guided by the Divine, we have the Mind Power necessary to co-create a sustainable, harmonious, peaceful, and prosperous world.  And, we can do this while also attracting and creating a passionate, loving, rich, healthy life with all of our personal dreams fulfilled.

Resilience
When something goes wrong do you tend to bounce and say ‘bring it on’ or do you tend to fall apart and say, “I give up”?

Many of you have fantastic, majestic goals of vast proportions. And, many of you just want your simple needs, like plenty of money to pay your bills or take a vacation with the kids fulfilled.

Whatever goal you have, it’s important to PLAN for resilience. Previously, I’ve suggested that you take out your goal and reverse engineer each milestone along the way. Then, with the milestone in hand, envision and add vibrational life to it – energizing it with your thoughts, beliefs, and intentions.

Now, I do not want to suggest that you ‘plan’ for problems but I do want to encourage you to PLAN for how you intend to BOUNCE back when setbacks, obstacles, or challenges present themselves. And, they will – not because you are destined for difficulty but because CHANGE requires transformation; change requires your life to be altered, modified, and adjusted in some way in order for you to receive that which you desire.

You see with every change you seek, there must be a change in your current reality to make room for the new reality.

For example, how do you create a better job without leaving your current one? At some point, even if you manifest a ‘fun-filled going away party,’ you still have to leave the old job behind.

Likewise, if you want to re-create your ideal relationship, you will have to leave the current relationship behind, emotionally and spiritually, if not actually physically before you can birth a new or renewed relationship.

Imagine achieving your ideal health and wellness without changing your physical fitness or eating habits. Can it really be done? Sure, we’re unlimited – but how many people do you know that have actually achieved total wellness while sitting on their couch just thinking good thoughts?

Thus, all change and creation requires a willingness to ‘pay the price’ for receiving the goal. Do not mistake what I’m saying here. I’m not saying it HAS to be difficult or HAS to cost too much for you to achieve your dreams. However, I AM saying that you will be met with conditions that may appear as a challenge before you will have the opportunity to make room for the goal to be fulfilled.

Your work is to be resilient and choose to BOUNCE with the change. Choose to know each ‘challenge’ is nothing more than one change that is occurring on the way to the fulfillment of your dream.

If you know ahead of time, that change must occur and you choose to be resilient before you EVER get there, then you are valiantly ahead of the game. While others will be saying, “Why me? Why is this happening like this?” You’ll be saying, “Bring it on! I’m ready! I’m strong and nothing will stop me from achieving my dream.”
PLAN for RESILIENCE! Make up your mind ahead of time how you intend to BOUNCE!

Expectation

Remember, what we put our attention upon expands. We attract into our lives whatever we think and believe the most.

Now, I group Expectation with Resilience as the 5th key because we want to Expect things to go our way but we must choose to be resilient when the outcome isn’t exactly what we intentionally expected.

You see, we often forget that we also get what we expect. As intentional creators, we launch dreams of colorful master-pieces filled with magnificent stories of lavish abundance, extraordinary love affairs, accomplishment and accolades. This is important and we have fun visualizing our successes.

Then, we go about our day ‘expecting’ what we’ve always expected…

… oh, this is going to be a hard conversation. She’s never easy to talk to.
…oh, there’s no way I can learn all this material by the deadline.
…oh, I’m not good at this type of project.
…oh, I’m surrounded by people who just don’t get it.

Do you see where I’m headed here? We have all these insidious ‘ideas’ about ourselves and those around us.

…oh, I hope I get a raise but they keep saying we should expect cut-backs.
…oh, my mate has never remembered our anniversary.
…oh, she’s not going to do what she says. I just can’t depend upon her word.

Insidious expectations – they quietly permeate so many of our waking moments that we disregard them as nothing more than normal mental banter.

However, thinker beware, these thoughts are not just benign chitchat!

One flea may not be a problem, but twenty become 200, become 2000, become 200,000 and very, very quickly become a malignant menace.

Insidious expectations, left unaddressed will also multiply. And, like a vibrational parasite, these negative expectations suck the life out of our positive intentions.

It’s important to know ahead of time how you will handle the outcome of negative expectations. (How will I be resilient?)

We also want to become aware of our fears, doubts, and limiting ideas that inspire the negative expectation.

I uncover my fears and doubts by asking simple questions:

- What are my negative expectations?
- What am I afraid will happen?
- What will disappoint me?
- What’s the worst thing that could happen here?
- What could go wrong?
- Then, I ask – am I afraid or concerned that these things will happen?

Once you’ve discovered the fear, worry, or doubt – you can shift it by simply focusing upon the opposite of the fear.
For example:

…oh, I hope I get a raise but they keep saying we should expect cut-backs.
–>becomes – I choose to be hopeful and trust that the raise is already mine.
…oh, my mate has never remembered our anniversary.
–>becomes –“Why is it that my mate remembers our anniversary?” Or, if that’s too far-fetched try, “I choose to relax, ask for my needs to be met and I enjoy being pleasantly surprised.”
…oh, she’s not going to do what she says. I just can’t depend upon her word.
–>becomes “I’m willing to trust in her ability to see this commitment through.”

Once you identify the negative idea, you want to shift your attention to something more aligned. For example, “I am hopeful.” Or “I am willing to forego all preconceived ideas.” Or “I choose to have a beginner’s mind.”

Then, if you use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) any recurring limiting expectations could be eliminated and released forever! In fact, I highly encourage you to consider how you go through your day.

Do quiet but sinister expectations sabotage your joy? Are these seemingly normal thoughts eating away at your  dreams without you realizing it’s even happening?

Remember, when we go ahead and deal with the potential danger of one ‘flea’, it’s far easier than waging war against the consequence of fleas fornicating in multiplicity. (That does sound really nasty!) The same goes double for our negative expectations!

Get rid of them now and get aligned with your positive dreams! Then, choose to be resilient and bounce with each change. Follow this bounce with an intentionally directed expectation of Hope, Faith, and eager expectation!

I Do What Must be Done with Zest and Enthusiasm!

Category: Creative Manifesting, LOA doesn't work for me, Videos, conscious creation, emotional freedom technique, law of attraction — Anisa @ 4:16 pm

Quick Manifesting Morsel with Anisa Aven

I Do What Must be Done with Zest and Enthusiasm!!!! (Is this your battle cry? Then read on to find out why it should be.)

It takes 10,000 acorns to produce just three Oak trees.

Now, ask yourself, is that Oak tree exhausted, frustrated,

and weakened because it had to spawn 10,000 seeds before

duplicating itself into another masterpiece?

This is what nature expects regarding creation and

procreation. Think about it – some frogs lay as many as

30,000 eggs to ensure its species. And, to ensure our own

species a healthy man’s sperm count is upwards of 20 million

per milliliter. This means that every successful

spermatozoon fought off somewhere between 90 million and 400

million other eager applicants to become the triumphant one!

Now, what would happen if that Oak Tree just decided,

“10,000 acorns?!? Forget it! That’s just too much effort?”

Our world would obviously be void of Oak Trees, frogs and

OHHHH…babies.

If the Oak tree did give up, it’s possible that it might

briefly enjoy the life of indolent ease. However,

eventually it would realize that it was missing something

critical; it would realize that its heart was void of

purpose. Apathy would ensue and finally death, as death

stands at the doorway of apathy. After all, if it wasn’t

meant to plant seeds, propagate, and prosper, the swelling question

becomes, “why do I bother to exist at all?”

Fortunately for those who have ever climbed a grand Oak or

taken a nap under one’s majestic, protective shade, the Oak

tree doesn’t look at those 9,997 acorns as failures, or too

much effort!

The credo of ‘I do what must be done – because that’s justoccurs naturally in the plant and animal kingdom.

what I do’

I ask, in the spirit of exploring the essential elements of

intentional creation, what if we, the brain-enamored,

bipedal mammals could choose this attitude?

What if instead of saying, “But, I don’t want to put forth 10,000 acorns

before I get a tree!!!” We said, “I am willing to put forth

whatever effort is required, even if it’s 10,000 or more!”

An Oak tree doesn’t say, “This is just too much effort;

everything I do requires too much work and 10,000 acorns is

just too long to wait. Nothing I ever do comes easy or works

out for me.”

No, an acorn becomes an Oak tree because that’s what it

seeks to do. An Oak tree spawns 10,000 acorns if that’s what

it takes to propagate because that’s what it does. It

doesn’t fight it. It doesn’t struggle against it. It just

does what it does. What if YOU could ‘just’ do what you must

do with zest and enthusiasm instead of begrudgingly?

If, as a conscious creator, we could look at our desires and

what we want out of life; look at our goals, and just do

what must be done with a similar attitude, then the natural

consequence would be our own majestic manifestations of

magnificent proportions.

Oh, and the splendid byproduct of such an attitude would be

more joy, fulfillment, peace, prosperity, and flow in the

process! As Abraham (through Jerry and Esther Hicks) calls

it, this is what ‘Getting into the Vortex’ really means.

We must remember that it’s the resistance to ‘hard work’

that makes work hard.

It’s the resistance to ‘taking too much time’ that makes

time stand still.

It’s the resistance to ‘effort’ that makes effort

exhausting.

When we are in the vortex, we ‘whistle while we work.’ We

put our heads down, pull up our bootstraps when necessary

and JUST DO WHAT MUST BE DONE with enthusiasm.

And, remember, as conscious creators, ALL you want to do is stay That’s the entire purpose of your every day

in that vortex.

intention – to BE in the vortex, the flow, the conscious

connection and awareness of Spirit Within as your one and

only source and supply.

If instead of the attitude, “this is hard; this takes too

much effort; this is too much of a struggle;’ you just put

out the acorns knowing that one of them, two of them, three

of them will eventually take off and take off big; become

that magnificent Oak tree that you really desire then your

big dreams as well as little desires would reliably

manifest.

If you seek to utilize the power of the law of attraction to

create magnificent success, I suggest you first seek to

create an attitude of persistence, commitment, resilience,

and most importantly a willingness to do what must be done

with ZEST and ENTHUSIASM! That’s actually one of my favorite

affirmations from Catherine Ponder’s book, The Dynamic Laws

of Prosperity: “I do what must be done with zest and

enthusiasm.”

When I was about seven months pregnant with my daughter,

Ashlyn, I was walking out of the gym when I saw shattered glass all over the ground. I remember thinking,

“Oh my! Someone broke something.” Well, I was right. What

they broke was my car window to steal my purse and

briefcase! Well, I can honestly remember thinking, “Ahh,

bummer. And oh well, let me just clean it up and move

along.” Then, I realized that in addition to my wallet,

money, and credit cards they had my Catherine Ponder book!

That’s when I got mad! You see, it was perfectly

highlighted, dog-eared, and every magical affirmation,

quote, and meaningful theory was pulled forth for me in my

margined shorthand notes.

Her simple affirmation, “I do what must be done with zest

and enthusiasm!” changed my entire outlook on ‘work’ and

‘getting ahead’ and ‘effort’. This was a new concept for me.

It’s safe to say that I’ve always been goal oriented and a

go-for-your-dreams kind of gal. However, I never did it with

zest and enthusiasm?!?! In fact, the ‘harder’ it was the

better my story. You know what I mean ‘my story’, right?!?

When I moved to California, fresh out of high school, barely

18, with no money, no place to live, no job, no relatives,

no car and only one friend, it was indeed ‘very hard.’ I can

remember eating peanut butter and crackers for -forever! I

walked to job interview after job interview to get a job. I

remember walking more than 8 hours one day just filling out

job applications!

And, hey – it’s a good story now. I get to share with my

children my own version of, “I walked 5 miles to school

every day in freezing snow, barefoot and uphill – both

ways.”

However, I didn’t do it with any kind of ‘zest and

enthusiasm’. In fact, I bet that had I come from a place of

zest, enthusiasm, willingness, openness, optimism and

cheerfulness, I would NOT have had to eat peanut butter

nearly as long and I bet someone would have hired me sooner!

That’s how the law of attraction works. I knew I would

eventually knock on the right door at the right time to get

a job, but I made it more difficult with my resistance to

just being at peace with the process. Maybe it’s because I

wanted the ’story’, or maybe it’s because I thought ‘life’s

supposed to be hard’, or ‘I’m not worthy of having it be

easy’. Or, maybe, it was hard because I fought what needed

to be done so fiercely.

So, how do YOU allow yourself to relax comfortably into the

10,000 seeds that must be planted?

You gain power and peace, by focusing on today’s seed and

paying attention to this moment, living in the now with zest

and enthusiasm.

Remember the allegory:

Question: How do you eat an Elephant? Answer: One bite at a

time.

By breaking down our goals into small, action oriented steps

we structure our pathway to success. This one simple mindset

(breaking big tasks down into little tasks) is recognized as

the secret to their success for many a millionaire &

billionaire.

For conscious creators who understand the concept of one

bite at a time add to this the intention: “One delicious

bite at a time” and you’ll suddenly feel more empowered,

energized, focused, and steadfast in the obtainment of your

goal.

Use the law of attraction to attract a mindset of, “I am

willing to do what must be done with Zest & Enthusiasm” and

refuse to entertain any longer the idea that you’ve been

dealt a tough hand that requires too much effort!

Use the power of your mind (& EFT!) to override any resistance to

doing what must be done and instead view the 10,000 seeds

that you must plant as simply, “what I do” and what you do

will be successful.
