Creating Your Reality
-- Manifesting Your Dreams

It has been said that nothing in the world has ever been created
without a thought initiating the process. Thomas Edison made hundreds
of attempts at the light bulb before he found success. When asked
why he kept persevering, he replied, "For each attempt that
failed and was discarded, it put me one step closer to the one experiment
that would succeed." For each thought, each belief, that created
a reality that wasn’t quite right, a new thought took its
place, creating a better reality.
We’ve all heard of these success-from-failure stories
and they often help to motivate us to try our personal best, to
keep persevering. But how can we keep trying in the face of overwhelming
odds? How do we get past the negative beliefs, the distractions,
the lack of support from our family and friends? What can we do
when we’re tired of trying? What if we don’t know what
our soul wants?
Your thoughts do create your reality, and in learning to modify
your old, entrenched thought patterns, you can modify your reality.
There are three ways to modify our thoughts. First, changing your
attitudes and beliefs about your current reality often shifts your
focus and awareness so that you can begin to find peace in your
life. Second, creating an image or thought of the new reality you
want to create and keep that in focus as you go about your day.
Third, through psychotherapy, gain insight into the birth of the
thought and heal it.
The first step in creating your own reality is to determine
which reality you’re looking for. Often we don’t reach
our dreams because we never have a clear idea of what dreams are
the most important to us. What is it you want most in this lifetime?
Vital good health? A loving and supportive mate? Success in your
business or career? A nice home? Spiritual enlightenment? Freedom
from emotional turmoil? An opportunity to study with a master?
Whether your dreams are physical, emotional or spiritual,
first write a list of what you want. You may find that you want
something in each of those categories. In writing your list, be
specific. Instead of writing "a good marriage," be specific:
what specific actions and emotions are you looking for in your definition
of a good marriage? In place of "good health," you might
write "freedom from arthritic pain" or "more energy."
Don’t feel pressured to write the list all in one sitting;
take some time to allow things to bubble up from your soul. Organize
the list in any way you’d like, but make sure you determine
which items are more important to you than the others. You may want
to write the list, then take a few days to think about it. Finally,
review it one last time, re-arrange priorities, or adding and subtracting
items as needed.
Because your needs and life situation may change, your list
will remain flexible and will change as time goes by. Try to remain
open to these changes, even if it means rearranging your list of
dreams. Perhaps a simple, mild change to an item is all that is
necessary in order to keep up with the times.
Now that you have a list, the next step is to determine a
means of visualizing or imagining that outcome, and putting that
image out into the Universe, so that the Universe can, in time,
manifest the events and resources to
create that outcome in your physical world. In putting our wishes
out into the Universe, and doing internal work to change our thoughts
and beliefs, we set in motion the intention for a better life.
