Taking attendance.

Are you really present?

Remaining conscious and aware is tricky.

As a society,

We love to zone out,

Go on autopilot,

Or pretty much do whatever it takes to escape our present reality.

So what I'm going to suggest might be a bit painful.

Stay.

Stay present.

In order to manifest a desire into our lives,

We have to remain present,

Conscious,

And aligned with how we're bringing it about.

Let me ask you this.

What are you actually speaking into existence?

A person who's trying to manifest financial prosperity laments to a friend about how the money is too funny.

So what?

What's wrong with someone complaining about inconsistent income?

We've all done that.

Yes,

We have.

The problem is that this person is not completely present or aligned with their desire to manifest financial prosperity.

They are actually speaking the opposite of what it is they want.

If this person truly believed that their financial situation would improve,

Then they would not be complaining.

They'd be planning.

They'd be engaging with their money like someone who has plenty of money.

Do you understand what you're asking for?

Some people want a better version of what they already have,

Like a car,

And so understand the process of how to get there.

But what if you don't know a whole lot about the there you're trying to reach?

Then being present with what you want includes developing an understanding of it.

I have a desire to one day own a coffee shop.

I have a clear image of how it would be decorated,

The food and beverage menu,

And even what events I would host.

Where I am not clear is on how to go about obtaining a coffee shop.

As long as I remain unclear,

It will not manifest.

Though I might want it and even dream about it,

It won't come to pass until I 100% align with it.

Think about it.

What if someone gifted me my very own coffee shop?

I would have no idea what to do with it.

I would fail before I even got started.

Do your actions align with what you're trying to manifest?

You're not going to be a millionaire if you spend every dollar that comes into your hand.

You're not going to become a world champion bodybuilder if you eat excessively and refuse to exercise.

This is where people erroneously put all of the responsibility on their source.

God's going to deliver it,

Is what we say,

Allowing us to go about our daily routine as if we're waiting on a package.

And then when it doesn't manifest,

We say,

God didn't want me to have it,

Which absolves us of any responsibility and causing the manifestation to fail.

God does not give you what you are not prepared to receive.

Say again,

God does not give you what you are not prepared to receive.

It doesn't matter how loudly you shout,

Praise,

Or pray.

If the way you are behaving does not line up with what you are looking to manifest,

Then you're not ready for it.

Plain and simple.

As I've said many times before,

Our source wants us successful,

Productive,

And happy.

But we play a creative role in making that happen.

The moment you form a thought in the direction of what you want to manifest is the moment circumstances start to shift to line up with what you want.

The question is whether or not you will be present to see it through.

Another wonderful message Jamila! It made me realize where I’ve been “slipping.” I always say we are given the signs we need when we need them, and this was one of those times! Thanks for helping me get back on track!
