An Inability to Do Nothing: A Reflection on the Traveler

Your key to manifesting your desires in your life is learning how to effectively connect to and harness this power. In fact, when I first learned of these principles I thought they seemed like a bunch of wacky 'new age' mumbo jumbo. What mattered to me, really, was not who believed in the truth and effectiveness of these principles, or how strange they seemed, or even if I felt silly applying them. Regardless of where you are starting from, or what your background or belief system, you will find that when you learn to effectively apply these principles to your everyday life real change will occur, and they will occur at a breathtaking speed. Each thought that you have has a direct effect on your physical reality. Most of us go through our lives feeling as if we are at the mercy of external events - we believe that things 'happen to us.' But what I have come to believe, to know really, is that things don't just happen to us. You are accepting full responsibility for your life. It's not our parents' fault, it's not "luck" and it's not "fate." Where you are right now is not necessarily good or bad - it just is. The Universe doesn't have an opinion on what you choose to draw into your life. "Spirit is substance which forms itself according to your demands, and must have a pattern from which to work. A pan of dough is as willing to be formed into bread as biscuit. When I first discovered how to effectively apply these principles, I decided to do a little experiment. I had made some poor financial decisions, and my attitude was one where I was focused almost completely on the 'lack' in my life. What I was really doing without realizing it, by focusing on what I did not want, by focusing on what I was lacking, was perpetuating the situation and continually attracting those things that I did not want into my life. I made a list of all of my upcoming bills and expenses that I felt I was in danger of having trouble meeting. I then began applying the principles to my situation. "I am grateful for all that I have and all that I am. I desire to have at least $13,000 to come into my life. By effectively applying the principles I had learned, within 5 weeks I had a series of 'windfalls' totalling over $15,000.
