We all want more. More money, more love, more success, more fulfillment. But we don’t always know how to achieve our dreams, and sometimes we can start to believe it isn’t possible.
The wisdom of Kabbalah teaches that we are meant to get to a point where we only have positive experiences and goodness in our lives. The Creator wants to shower us with endless gifts, but we don’t always open ourselves up to receive them.
Here are 3 tips to start manifesting your dreams:
1. Nothing worth doing in life is ever easy. Think about the time and hard work it takes to learn to ride a bike or learn a new language. Any major transformation takes great effort. Coal requires pressure to become a diamond, and a caterpillar needs darkness to become a butterfly. This is true of our spiritual work as well. Our purpose is to grow and evolve into a higher state of being, and all of this requires opposition and great effort. If something is difficult, it’s an indication you are tapping into something that is necessary for your growth.
No matter how much you’ve done, if you want to achieve more, it takes hard work. It doesn’t mean that every endeavor is the right one or that you will succeed in every area, but keep working hard, and good things will come! You have something amazing to bring into this world, but the only way to manifest it is with difficult work, perseverance, and a sense of curiosity.
2. Get excited about earning it! Have you ever noticed when you get handed something without earning it that you sometimes feel guilty about it? This is because our souls are never truly satisfied by receiving something we haven’t earned. In the short term, we might enjoy them, but in the long term, they don’t bring us lasting fulfillment. This is because it goes against our very nature. It just doesn’t feel good to our souls!
On a logical level, the more we have invested time and effort into something, the more we appreciate the reward. A person who was gifted a nice car will likely have less appreciation for it than someone who worked tirelessly for years to earn enough money to buy the car themselves. On a spiritual level, the things we have earned provide us with more energy. When we earn something, we don’t just receive the blessing, we also receive the fulfillment from it. Earning our blessings is not just the “right” way to do things from a moral standpoint, but the way that fulfills us most spiritually.
Resist the instinct to receive without earning. Find ways to transform your gifts into acts of sharing. This not only brings more joy into your life but opens you up for even more blessings.
3. Focus on the journey, not the destination. Blessings don’t always manifest in the ways we think they will. Sometimes we give up when we don’t see the results right away. We think we’ve done enough of the hard work and that it just isn’t working.
We tend to have tunnel vision about our expectations, and if things don’t turn out the way we think, we write the experience off as a failure. We might even get down on ourselves for wasting time and energy. But if you really look back at the experience, you can see how you have grown and changed from the process.
Sometimes our efforts pay off in wonderful and unexpected ways that are even better than what we could have dreamed! Don’t limit your vision to one possible outcome. The energy you invest into something does not disappear, even if it doesn’t result in the outcome you expected.
We have the potential to receive unlimited blessings from the Creator. Through hard work and consciousness, we can each earn a fulfilling and joyful existence. Roll up your sleeves, set your consciousness, and start earning the gifts that are meant to come your way.
