Manifest with Emotion


What would your life be like if you had no barriers whatsoever?
What if: you could go wherever you wanted in a short period of time, in comfort, at very little or no cost? 

What if: you were assured of always having plenty of food to eat, clean, fresh water to drink, and lots of fresh air to breathe?
What if: nobody could ever cause you harm, put you down, call you names, or ignore you?
What if: you felt confident, excited, happy, and positively about yourself all the time?
What if: all illnesses could be cured, you could live forever, and you could have the body you want?
What if: you could do exactly what you want all the time, never have to worry about money or bills, and love doing what you are doing?


How might your life be different if these things were true? Just consider it, whether you believe it could ever be possible or not. 
What would you be doing with your life? Would you do what you are doing now, or something completely different? 
Would you live where you live now, or in some far away, exotic location?

Would you try things you’ve never tried? Climb mountains, sail the seas, build a bridge, paint a portrait, travel to other universes, or write a novel? Would you make new friends, try eating new kinds of food, help someone reach a goal, or learn a new craft?
Would you have a party and invite people you’ve never met, share your home with people from another country, or learn a new language?
If Lewis and Clarke had believed that nothing but danger, trouble, and terror were awaiting them on their trip west, if they had believed that absolutely nothing good could come of it, would they have gone?
Do you allow other peoples’ experiences to dictate whether or not you choose to experience something? If somebody else has a bad experience with a dentist, do you avoid that particular dentist?
If somebody else got “ripped off” by a particular telephone company, do you choose a different one?
If somebody else stayed at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas and had a horrible time, would you stay somewhere else?
We sometimes limit our experiences by the beliefs we choose to invest in. If I believe I will never travel abroad because nobody in family ever has, then how can I possibly ever experience that if my mind, and therefore any possibility to that experience, is closed off; shut down; inconceivable?
Is it our belief that people who experience wonderful vacations, jobs that they love, a comfortable home, or traveling the world are just extremely lucky? That they just happened to be in the right place at the right time and even though they were totally focused on the negative; on the idea that nothing good could ever happen to them, they just stumbled upon good fortune?!
People who experience people, places, things, and situations that are fun, exciting, positive, and uplifting are not sitting around like Sad Sacks, ruminating about how awful their lives are. They are not thinking to themselves that nothing good ever happens to them or that they can’t possibly experience the kinds of things they want to in their lives!
If you believe you can have, do, or experience anything you wish to, the chances of that happening have increased twofold just because you have opened up the possibility with your thoughts. Now, take just a few more minutes and imagine the emotions you would feel when you finally experience those things! Focus on those emotions for at least 17 seconds and you just doubled the chances again! Why? Because the power of emotion is at least twice as strong as the power of thought alone. 

So, have your own experience by thinking and FEELING your wants into being. Stretch yourself. Step out of your comfort zone. It may feel uncomfortably momentarily, but if you will continue to focus on what you really want, that discomfort will become more and more comfortable.

Yes! All of that is what gave me the courage to move to this beautiful and wonderful place called Alaska!
