It's easy to compare ourselves to other people's visible successes! But underneath the surface, we realize it's not a comparison at all. We can all succeed in different ways. 🥕✨

”Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble”

Someone asked this question today in a Facebook group I’m part of, and I really just wanted to share my response because I feel like this is a common question people ask in the spiritual community.

She asked, “Why doesn’t manifesting work for me, it’s seems the more positive l am the more negative things get. I feel so helpless and alone.”

I also used to ask myself this question. Especially in 2017 when it felt like everything in my life was going wrong. And when I finally started to find myself again, I had an epiphany that changed my life.

My response was this, “I can see from this post alone that your mindset is in the wrong place because you are showing that you are focusing all your attention on the bad that is happening to you. Your mindset is still focused on the negative, and that’s why it feels that’s all you are manifesting. The thing is, bad things are always going to happen. Just because you are trying to manifest positive things doesn’t mean everything in your life is going to be positive. The trick is to focus your energy on everything that is going right in your life and give little to no attention to the negative things. NEVER dwell on anything negative. If something negative happens, acknowledge it, and then let it go and move on with your day and forget about it. Life will never be perfect, but you can make it an incredible experience by shifting your mindset. Once you shift your mindset, you will indeed manifest more positive things. But you need to start the process by first seeing the positive things in your life. It doesn’t matter how big or small it is. It could be as simple as getting a close parking space or someone holding the door open for you or complimenting you. Start paying attention and showing gratitude for all these little things that are positive in your life and you will come to realize you are already abundant. Then you can start manifesting bigger things from there.”

My life has completely turned around once I made this realization. It has gone from living in what I used to consider a miserable apartment and now moving into the apartment of my dreams. It has manifested in randomly finding $200 in a book a day before desperately needed $200 for an unexpected circumstance. It has manifested as my boss surprising me with an unexpected gift. It has manifested as miraculously being healed from a major liver issue I had been dealing with. All of these major shifts and amazing positive and often unexpected things that I both wanted and needed started manifesting into my life when I started appreciating and feeling the feelings of gratitude for each and every little thing going right. I began to give the negative things in my life little attention and just let those things go, and be grateful for every little good thing that happened. Literal miracles started to happen.
