For the majority of human beings, it is our nature to want those things that we don’t yet have. Many of us believe that when we get that certain item, that special person, or even when we achieve that special “state of being”, that somehow we will be just a little bit happier or a little bit more content. What many of us fail to notice is that “it” (the feeling we perceive we will get from that object or that special someone) is available to us right now and is always occurring in the present moment.  However, those of us who don’t understand this (and even many of us who do) still want whatever those things might be. If you are becoming frustrated at the lack of your desires materializing in your life, it could be for one or more of the following reasons:

If so, you are making statements from a place of lack. Begin telling yourself a different story.  Use statements such as “I’m so excited to know more money is coming in” or “I love knowing that my every need is met”.  These types of statements come from a place of already accepting that the money is coming into your life. Openly accept, into your thoughts, those things you desire.

 "Negative emotions within you regarding the things you want"- Perhaps even more powerful than the thoughts you have regarding the things you want, are the emotions you feel beneath those thoughts.  Notice the difference in
