Dear Practical LOA #18
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why can’t things manifest RIGHT NOW?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We’ve all felt it before.
We start out excited and enthusiastic.
We’ve been made promises and it seems like we’ve finally found the answers to the problems that bother us the most.
We devour the material, we do our best to follow instructions…
And then we wait.
And wait. And wait.
Just how long do we have to wait until we get what we want??
We want what we want RIGHT NOW.
So while today’s Dear Practical LOA question comes from the United States, the frustration in the question is undoubtedly universal.
“Kane, I'm having great trouble letting go. I've always had issues around trust and I find myself setting an intention then letting myself get obsessed by it because: a. I don't believe my Higher Power will give me what I want when I need it; and 2. I want what I want now. I know they sound like they cancel each other out but that lack of trust and seeing results of manifestation quickly are big issues for me…”
Who hasn’t felt that way?
So here’s what to do when you’re restless, frustrated...
And just want things to happen N-O-W.
Hi [XXXXXX],
The first question I would ask myself if I were you is one that is so fundamental, that nothing else really matters until it gets answered:
Do I love my self? Do I truly, deep down, love myself?
If the answer is not an immediate and automatic, YES! then you need to spend some alone time with yourself, get to know yourself, develop a relationship with yourself, and love yourself.
Once that happens, trusting your higher power will be a given.
Nothing we attempt for ourselves works unless it is motivated by love for ourselves...
Everything else is just something external that we use to numb, salve, or cover up the dissatisfaction we are experiencing.
As for wanting things NOW... Let me introduce to you the gift of Time...
Time is a gift to us to allow us to discover and refine PRECISELY what it is that we want.
Imagine if all of our desires were delivered NOW...
In a heated moment we might wish that someone was dead. Or that we were dead.
I might wish for a brand new Porsche Carrera and get it instantly. Then I find out that the insurance is $800 per month and the oil changes are $500 and the seats give me a massive backache after sitting in it for just 15 minutes...
Time allows us to find these things out and discover our priority of preferences.
Maybe the cost and discomfort is worth it for the way I feel when other people see me driving my Porsche. But maybe that backache just isn't worth it. It all depends on our individual preference.
The vast majority of us ask for the "perfect person" or "perfect relationship" but when we wish for it, we have no idea what that is. What it feels like looks like sounds like. We just expect that we'll feel like it'll be perfect and we'll be happy.
Time and the delivered experiences allow us to fine tune and discover exactly what it is we want.
That is the Magic of Time
So try to shift your perspective on getting things NOW and become grateful that the universe loves you enough not to deliver each of your desires instantaneously. =)
Kane
