So, I’ve been thinking a lot about manifesting and creating a life we love and I keep coming up against this common theme. It’s something I remember thinking about a few years ago in a positivity training for a job I was working at the time. We were given an exercise to think of our dream car.
As my fellow co-workers were scribbling away on their note cards, I was stumped. I didn’t have a dream car per se. If it was reliable, had good gas mileage, and didn’t look too bad on the outside, it was a good option for me. Up until that moment I’d never thought about what my dream car might be.
The facilitator apparently had come across this before and encouraged us to come up with our dream car regardless of how tough it might be. Once I had an answer down (I don’t even remember at this point what that was), he asked a question that has stuck with me over the years.
What’s too good for you?
When we think about what we want in life, we often imagine what is ‘realistic’ and ‘logical’ for us based on what we know about our lives, income level etc. When I was thinking of my dream car, a Rolls Royce didn’t quite match my vision. In my mind that was something that was just too good for me. (It also isn’t something I would want to drive now anyways.)
Several years later that question has come up in many conversations with clients. Thinking of the life they would love to live, they begin using their logic to come up with what they desire. When I tell them to throw logic to the wind, sometimes it’s still difficult to come up with the ideal life because there are things that just feel too good for them.
Why is that?
What is it about a life that feels amazing inside and out that scares us or causes us to pull back a bit?
Is it the fear of disappointment?
The thought we don’t deserve it?
Or maybe it’s just a matter of wondering if it’s possible to really have it all?
For so long we’ve been taught some messed up lessons about abundance, love, and living a happy life that we grow up thinking it’s only meant for some people, but certainly not us.
Lessons like: If you have love, be happy you have it because very few have love AND money.
We’ve been taught that it’s possible for a select few…the rich and famous, the extremely talented people that we see on television every day, but not little ‘ole us.
That’s a LIE.
We all have the same abilities to create and craft the amazing life of our dreams. With love, abundance, success, joy, family, community, creativity, and freedom. ALL OF US.
And as soon as you decide that you can have it all and that there is nothing too good for you, you will begin to see shifts happen almost instantly in your life. I promise.
This isn’t about having all the money in the world or driving the most expensive car. This is about living a life that resonates with YOU. That illustrates what is most important to you. THAT is what the life of your dreams is about.
So, today I ask you…what’s too good for you to be, have, or do?
My answer? Nothing.
And if you are willing to make the decision to stand in your creative power to make your life all you have ever wanted, I have two things that may be of interest to you.
February 1st begins the Magical Manifesting journey where I will be taking a group of like-minded souls on a practical journey to tap into the creative manifesting power we all have within. To learn together, support one another, and to apply the Law of Attraction to craft and create the life of your dreams. 6-weeks together with amazing, magical results. You can learn more about the program and get signed up here.
For those of you looking for a more 1:1 approach, I have a few spots left for my signature Breakthrough Program. 90-Days to dig into what you want and what’s holding you back while providing support as you take the steps you need to begin living the life of your dreams today. You can learn more about that program and sign up for a free 30-minute consultation here.
There’s no reason to think that you have to settle for a life that doesn’t feel good. I want to help more women like you show up and embrace the life you deserve and feel good about it.
