“The fantastic assistance of the Universe will elude you unless you ask for it.
We all know how easy it is to feel frustrated when we’re having trouble managing some aspect of our life. We may throw up our hands, lamenting, ‘Why is this happening to me?’ or ‘I wish I had this or that.’ But that’s not asking; that’s complaining. Ask with intention and trust The Universe to support you. The door can then open wide for a serendipitous solution to appear.
Don’t underestimate the power of the spoken word. Your request will hold more conviction if you say it out loud.
Our minds are full of endless chatter. Anyone tuning in would find it difficult to know when we really mean something and when it’s just a lot of jumbled rambling.
Using our voice helps us get our own attention and focus on what it is we really want. I find that when I speak out loud, my sentences are far more coherent. I imagine a presence, an intelligent energy listening as I explain my request. (I don’t picture this energy as a person, or give it a personal name, but you might like to try that. Do whatever works best for you!)
Don’t waste even a minute feeling embarrassed. The Universe finds nothing but delight in being involved with every endeavor of your life, and it enthusiastically waits to hear your thoughts and ideas. Perhaps say, ‘I now enjoy my beautiful new house on a hill…’ (or whatever you want).
Wanting is actually an essential element in the process of joyfully fulfilling our dreams. Wanting is the seed of desire, and without desire, there can be no change, no growth, and no creation. The Universe actually celebrates whenever we identify something we want and desire. Desire is the spark that ignites the force of creation.
Seed your dreams, embrace your wishes, and open yourself to the magic of your desires. But don’t forget to ask! (And be open to receiving!)”
