The content of this article has the potential to change your life, if it is your choice to make the change.  Are you ready to have the life you truly desire?

You may have heard of the “Secret” and “The Law of Attraction.”  You may have even studied them and put them into practice in your life.  For some doing this has increased the abundance and prosperity in their life, for some it has been a miserable disappointment. The difference between the two is action.  Both scenarios included the intention, which comes from your heart or soul, in co-creating amazing lives with the Universe. The successful one combined intention with action, which created forward movement.

Over the next few months this section will be devoted to “Creating the Life You Desire.”

The first steps to creating your amazing life, are knowing what you want, knowing what you don’t want and taking back the control that your mind erroneously believes it has over your heart. This may sound simplistic but you would not believe how many people say, “I want more in my life.” When you ask them what they want more of, they either rattle off a very disorganized list of things or they say “Hmmm, I’m not really sure?” Asking someone what they don’t want gets a much clearer response. That’s because we are more conscious of what does not feel good in our lives. This lends itself to the pattern of focusing on the negatives, which then “attracts more of the things you don’t want.” It’s a cycle.

It is true that what we focus on becomes more prevalent in our lives, but it is not just the process of focusing. Focus is the same as intention.  Intending to create something special and implementing an action plan is the recipe for success here. Some very spiritual people will disagree with this. They subscribe to the theory that you manifest what you focus on.  That is true to a certain extent, but if you are wanting to create another income stream, or a better relationship with a partner or child it takes work. It takes initiative on your part to bring into the physical what your heart is intending. As for taking back that control from your mind, well that is a much larger task that we will go into in greater detail later.

Now, let’s briefly discuss the roles of the heart and mind in the co-creative process.  Your “heart” is the energy or the essence of your soul.  It is the place where you find your intuition from.  It is the voice that speaks to you when all else is quiet. When someone speaks of what their heart’s desire is, it comes from their soul. The heart is simple and understated, concise and easy to understand.  The human mind is another story.  The mind is what distracts us from what our Soul is trying to communicate to us, especially when the mind is controlled by the ego.  The mind and the ego have been seen as one in the same by some. The mind/ego is very happy to stay just where it is. You hear it say things like, “But if I try that I might fail” or “I don’t know.” It will get louder and more obnoxious as you attempt to listen to your heart.  When the ego feels threatened, it will find every excuse for you not do follow your heart.  This leads to another failure for you in your human judgmental thought process, and another victory for the mind, giving it just a little more control.  When we start to take back control it can be a full on battle, but the increase in abundance and prosperity is definitely worth the effort.

So as you can see, manifesting the life you desire is more than just a meditative process.  It requires diligence in creating a plan to achieve the desired outcome. Plus the realisation that just focussing on it is not enough. You have to put your plan into action!
