Power of Belief Enables Success


Forces and Manifesting Abundance

Controlling your thoughts and believing are the keys to the Law of Attraction and Manifesting Abundance. Believing, having faith that a certain thing will happen, is essential to making the Power of Intention work. Belief in yourself. Belief in an external force or belief in God. It is your beliefs that make it all work.

Your beliefs have developed over your lifetime. The more solidly imbedded a belief is, the harder it is to change.

There are a lot of forces at work in your life creating and intensifying limiting beliefs. Your Intention must be strong enough to over power them or find ways around them to Manifesting Abundance.

There's the 'force of habit': You always smoke after a meal. You always snack while watching T.V. You always go out to the movies on weekends. You repeat negative sayings like 'the little guy always loses', 'You can't fight city hall', 'The only luck I've got is bad luck', 'I never had a chance in life, I was (poor, abused, neglected, abandoned, criticized) as a child'.

There's the force of family and friends telling you what you are and what you should do: 'You're not smart enough to go to college', 'You should get a job in skilled trades', 'That's the stupidest thing I ever heard', 'You should find a nice (man, woman) and settle down'.

There's the force of society pushing you to conform: 'Get a job', 'Dress for success', 'work hard', 'keep your nose to the grind stone', 'don't rock the boat'.

These forces create and reinforce limiting beliefs. You can and must overcome or deflect their power over you to move forward.

While you can't change your family, friends or society, you can change your habits and use the force of habit to help in Manifesting Abundance. The way you think is often a habit.

Stop saying things like "The only luck I have is bad luck." "I'm jinxed". "Everyone is out to get me". "Bad stuff always happens to me."

Change it to something more positive. "Well, that didn't go so well. But it will be better next time." "When given lemons, I'll just make lemonade". "This is just a bump on my road to excellence". "I have good luck."

These habits create corresponding beliefs. These beliefs MUST change for the Power of Belief to work to your benefit instead of your detriment.

Chief among these beliefs that must change for Manifesting Abundance is that we are worthy to receive what we desire. This is a stumbling block many people, myself included, need to overcome.

You might be thinking "I don't believe that! I believe I deserve to be rich as much as anyone!"

Have you ever added to your thoughts of your wants or desires a phrase like 'I don't want much'? It might go something like: "I don't want much, I just want a small house in the country." "Is it too much to ask to be able to pay my bills?" This all implies 2 things: that we believe that we don't deserve more and that there is only so much to go around.

Many, if not most, people feel that they are unworthy to receive riches. While some people feel this way because of serious abuse while they were growing up, many more people are stuck with this belief because of an almost constant admonition to not be selfish. To play fair. To share. To not ask for, much less insist on, what we want. We end up believing that is it wrong to be rich.

No Limits to Manifesting Abundance

Most people believe that there is a limit to what is available. Which leads to a belief that if we get our 'piece of the pie' someone else won't get their's. Or that we must take a 'piece of the pie' from someone else in order to have some. Or that if someone else has a large piece, that some of it is ours that they 'took' from us.

Well that is all a 'bunch of baloney'. None of it is true. There is no limit to what God, or the ever expanding universe, can provide.

When a house is built on a piece of land, the value of the whole goes up much more than just the value of the raw materials added. What really increases the value is what is added by the human mind. The design, knowledge and know-how to build a structure. The knowledge and work to invent, design, build all the fixtures, from the nails and wood frame to the plumbing and satellite TV.

They all add value. They all came from the mind. There is no limit to what the mind can make. Jesus feed a multitude (4000+ people) with just a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish. Now that's manifesting abundance!

It has been predicted over and over again that we will run out of land to grow enough food to feed the population. But we keep Manifesting Abundance of food by improving the output per piece of land. While there are plenty of hungry people in the world, it isn't because we do have enough land or food.

People 'in the know' have been saying for centuries that 'there is nothing new under the sun', 'what ever could be invented has been invented'.

Since then we have invented millions, or trillions, of things from the hula hoop to cell phones, from plastic garbage bags to penicillin, from Personal Computers to jets to artificial hips, knees and hearts.

Now one person has more monetary wealth than existed in the whole world a hundred years ago. And yet, millions of others still have money. That one person didn't take it all because wealth is ever expanding. There is no actual limit. You won't be selfish, or take from some one else if you get more.

There is more than enough money and more than enough food to provide for all the people in the world. They just have to learn how to get it, if they want it.

Beliefs like 'there is only so much to go around' and 'to be wealthy is to be mean, nasty or selfish' and 'I must limit my wants to be a good person' are what we call Hidden Beliefs. They are deep in our sub-conscious. We don't consciously think about them. We might even deny them in our conscious minds. But they are there limiting us. Coloring our view of life and the world.

It's these types of beliefs that must be changed for you to get everything you want. You must build a belief that you can and should get what you desire. You must believe that there is, and always will be, more than enough to go around.

Changing your beliefs is the first key to Manifesting Abundance.
