Do you expect 100 percent of your intentions to become manifest? Check in with yourself for a moment. Think about your goals, plans and visions of the future. What is your level of certainty that your vision for your life will be made manifest? With how much conviction do you believe in your ability to create exactly what you want?
Sometimes we leave ourselves some wriggle room. We set our intentions, we make our visions boards, we write down our goals. But instead of deciding, with complete certainty, on our intentions, we may create them more within the energy of "Wouldn't it be nice if . . . " We look at our vision board and think: "Gosh, I hope this will happen!" Wishful thinking, hope, and certainty are three very different qualities we can bring to our intentions.
If we set our intentions with certainty, they have to manifest. We are the powerful, Divine Creators of our experience, after all! At least, we can be . . . if we embrace certainty. Our intentions will manifest, because we decided. They have to manifest simply because we said so! If we bring certainty to the table, the Universe must conspire with us to create what we want. There is no alternative. And that makes certainty rather scary.
Manifesting exactly what we want is, for most of us, a great deal more frightening than the struggle of falling short. We're familiar with disempowerment, with making our circumstances dependent on external factors. We're comfortable with at least a slight level of dissatisfaction. Hopes and dreams are a much safer place than certainty. Hopes and dreams allow us the option of letting life happen "to" us. Certainty, however, declares our Divine potential to the world and forces us to step forward into our role as Creator.
What if we insisted on our intentions with uncompromising conviction and clarity? What if we expected them all to manifest, simply because we decided?
We truly are that powerful . . . if we allow ourselves to be.
What is the biggest, scariest vision that you could manifest for yourself? What could you manifest that would convince you completely of your own Divinity?
