The hype around this process all made it sound so easy and I feel like life is getting tougher as I
go along?
In order to clarify this, I need to paint a picture for you ...
Imagine a woman is married with three children and lives a simple life where she gave up many of her
dreams along the way. After discovering the law of attraction, she does and exercise to discover
what she truly wishes to manifest. In that manifestation she realizes that she never wanted to give
up work and an unfulfilled element of her life lingers.
The Universe only hears the voice of "your truth" and begins to move you in that direction.
It is not a move against your own will, but a shift towards that which you truly desire
(even if you are initially unaware of it).
If this woman was truly happy she would not have visualized working again. We never need to visualize
what we already have ... right??? Therefore something has to change in order to create that which you
want to attract.
When the woman is offered an opportunity to assist a friend a few hours a week and she tell her husband,
he becomes furious and says that she has children to look after. As her dreams become stifled, she
builds up resentment (the truth teller). In that resentment, she sees the patterns of control and
the unhealthy hold her husband has on her and the relationship begins to take strain.
This is why it does not seem simple!!!! What if this woman is about to learn that she is denied
happiness by this man and that she has lost herself completely? What if her unspoken truth is that
she would be much happier being a single working mom than an unfulfilled wife living a lie?
It is always simple once you tell yourself the truth … yet that is the hardest thing to do, because
of the key element ... CHANGE!!!!!!!!
If you were where you should be today, you would not need to visualize or affirm. Therefore,
things have to change ... when you stop fearing the process of change and take it as an adventure
then you have succeeded in making it simple.
