You just need to work harder...

If you are struggling with money or career woes, you’ve probably been told, “work harder!” you know, “make it happen.” …You are not alone, but respectfully, I disagree- 

With a “make it happen!” mentality, whether the “it” is making more money, staying in the creative flow, changing jobs, moving across the country, becoming a successful entrepreneur, falling in love, or even staying in love, MAKE IT HAPPEN looks like shoving coal up your posterior, expecting to poop out a diamond... trust me and science, this method of “diamond making,” takes more energy and time than you have. Forcing someone else’s plan and white knuckling it will deplete you, maybe not today, maybe not even this year…but it will catch up with you. 

There’s another voice out there you may have heard, set the goal and simply, “Let it happen.”

“Let it happen,” or manifestation can feel like the gift of a volunteer tomato plant coming up in just the right spot. Have you every had this happen? It’s a lovely surprise and the fruit is delicious, but the likelihood of it happening again is completely unpredictable from one year to the next. Aaaand I don’t know about you, but I need the T’s for my BLTs to be at the ready. This is what it’s like to count on the idea of manifestation as a stand alone. Magical book titles like, “Think and Grow Rich,” are attractive so that you pick up the book, but in this case you do have to actually read it. Thinking is not the whole game plan. 

Years ago I was working a job that sucked the life out of me. I was so determined to, “make it happen,” by succeeding in this job that the lack of sleep, the night grinding of my teeth that led to a root canal and a short temper were things I thought hard working business types just dealt with… Once I finally broke free of that the “let it happen,” lifestyle set in. I was seeking and searching for a direction and decided to just be open and manifest, well, all the things. Neither route took me where I wanted to go. 

So what actually works?

I call it partnering with flow. The flow of what?- of this precious life we are all living. Definitely NOT by Working so hard that you are actually too exhausted to sleep, and your family no longer recognizes you. Maybe you’ve felt it too, that place where you’ve traded your life for a livelihood? AND NOT with magical thinking, that leaves you in a fog and unsatisfied as you realize you are over drawn and out of clean underwear.  You know what I mean, when you are scratching your head wondering why “manifesting,” doesn’t work for you?  

What is needed is a foundation. Like in yoga poses, whether they are dynamic in a powerful vinyasa flow or passive in the sweet release of restorative, you still need to build a foundation. Both the doing and the non-doing need structure that serves your one specific beautiful-gift-of-a-body and it’s goal of carrying you through creating your best life. So this foundation I’m speaking of is built on what makes you feel fulfilled like maybe, more joy, more adventure, more peace or more love.
