New Growth


New Growth

            I keep watching everyday for something new to bloom in my garden. Today it is a Rose of Sharon and a few new day lilies. I see new flowers perking out from the ground: tomatoes getting ready to become fruit, the smell basil and rosemary and oregano are fragrantly lilting through the air. 
            I think of how something new is blooming in my life everyday if I watch closely, as well. And there is probably something new germinating, carefully taking root and popping out from the ground to show me it has found new life. We have to keep a watchful eye on the things we are wishing for, sowing seeds for, in our lives. There is no reason why prosperity shouldn't be germinating right before our very eyes. "Plant a radish, get a radish. Never any doubt."
            I think that is why Jesus loved to use parables about seeds so much. The miracle of something growing is so important for us to see the wonder of a thought magically growing into reality. 
            I had a client yesterday tell me a story about how she let a small thought about making money turn into the greatest gift of prosperity in her life thus far. She said it was almost like magic, but the key ingredient was faith. She said, she had $1000 left in her bank account when she told God that she would use it if she had to get what she needed to let the dream manifest. Today, she still has the $1000 in that account, and never had to touch it. Faith got her to her dream without ever having to sacrifice hunger and insecurity.
            I love the story, especially, because I know she can bring that same magic to other areas of her life, if she could just reinitiate the process of faith in relationships, art, home life, other business projects, etc. 
            And so can you. What creation takes is:
1. An Idea (thought in action)
2. Believing that you and God can begin to act on the project together... 
3. Calling upon that power within you and in the universe.
4. Envisioning it and continuing to have faith in it.
5. Holding fast to the vision no matter what you see in front of you. 
            These are the key factors to bringing forth new life. Now go forth and manifest...
