“There’s a solution for this.”

One of my default beliefs is that there is a (faster, better, more efficient) solution out there for something I’m wanting to accomplish.  When I’m working on something that needs a solution I have an automatic thought that says something to the effect of “there is a solution somewhere for this” or “someone out there has already solved this.” It immediately moves my attention and focus into finding that solution that I know is “out there.”

Manifesting what you want is all about how you are focusing your energy. Take a look at ​what’s got your focus right now. Check and see what's been preoccupying you, what patterns of thinking you've been running, and what stories you've been telling recently either silently or sharing with others. 

Part of manifesting what you want and being an effective deliberate creator is daily self-regulation.

​You have to exercise cognitive self-control everyday to ensure that you are directing your mind and mental focus, your thought activity and attention. Most meditators quickly begin to understand what the unregulated mind is capable of. If unchecked and unregulated, a natural outcome of being exposed to external stimuli is background mental chatter that isn't necessarily supportive of your empowerment and fulfilment. 

​Is your will separate from Divine Will? Are there two intentions at work?

One of the most common questions I hear from deliberate creators is how your own intentions relate to the intentions of the Divine, the Universe, or whatever you have named the higher power. This is an important point of inquiry to investigate within yourself. How have you mapped for your will and Higher or Divine Will? In your own framework, in your own mindset, in your own concepts of self and Spirit, what do you make of your will, your intentions and your dreams, and the intentions, dreams, and will the Universe “has for you”? Are these internal impulses separate?
