2023- The Year to Level Up your Money Management

Story:

Tim and Jack were both determined to make a lot of money. Tim thought the key was to work as hard as possible, so he worked long hours and took on every job he could. But no matter how much he hustled, he never seemed to make enough. For at the end of every month he had no savings.

Jack, on the other hand, was more strategic. He knew the art of money management. He invested his money and focused on building his skills and knowledge. He was patient and didn’t try to get rich quick. As time passed, Tim became more frustrated. He saw how well Jack was doing and couldn’t understand why he wasn’t making as much money. But instead, he just worked harder and harder in hope to double his money.  

Eventually, John hit a breaking point. He was tired, stressed out, and still didn’t make the money he wanted. Nor did he have any savings at the end of the year.

So what is the morale of this story?

Making money is not just about WORKING HARDbut it’s also about WORKING SMART.

What is money management and why is it so IMPORTANT?

Money Management is like a coach for a team. Just as a coach makes sure everyone is playing their part to win the game. Money management makes sure you set budgets, track expenses, invest wisely, and make smart financial decisions.

It is the tool that helps you plan for the future, set goals, and make sure you have enough money to achieve life goals. It also helps you identify potential risks and come up with strategies to manage them. This way you are also confident that you are using your financial resources efficiently and effectively. It encourages you to save money and plan for your own financial future! 

This  is the same strategy that has been used by a wide range of investors and  also by successful businessmen like Warren Buffet. Even as one of the wealthiest people in the world, he is popular for his frugality and discipline in saving money. He spends his money quite mindfully. By investing the money he saved wisely, he was able to grow his wealth significantly over time. 

Thus money management is like having a game plan for your money. It helps you make the most of your financial resources, achieve your goals, and secure your financial future.

This brings to the next question, how does one Manage Money effectively?

Create a Budget:

 

money management | create a budgetManaging your finances can be a daunting task, but it’s essential to ensure you’re not living beyond your means and are able to achieve your financial goals. The first step towards financial management is to add up your monthly income from all possible sources, such as your salary, payment from clients if you’re a freelancer, sales if you run your own business, etc. 

Once you have a clear idea of your monthly income, it’s time to

Create a list.

 Create a list of all your regular monthly expenses. This includes fixed expenses like rent, mortgage, insurance, and variable expenses like food, gas, and entertainment. It’s important to record everything you spend money on, so consider using an app or budgeting software to help you keep track of your expenses.

Remember, money management is a continual process, so don’t be afraid to review and adjust your budget or list as needed. Regularly tracking your income and expenses can help you identify areas where you can save more money and make smarter financial decisions. 

Learn the 50/30/20 Rule:

money management | savings

In order to effectively manage your finances, it’s important to understand how to divide your income into different categories. This is where the 50/30/20 rule comes into picture. It involves allocating 50% of your income to needs, 30% to wants, and 20% to savings and debt repayment.

50% of your income covers your NEEDS. It means essential expenses that are necessary for survival and stability. This includes things like housing, food, transportation, basic utilities, insurance, minimum loan payments, and child care or other expenses required for work. Anything beyond the minimum payments on loans should be directed towards savings and debt repayment.

30% of your WANTS , covers the extras that are not essential to life and work but can make life more enjoyable. This category can include things like monthly subscriptions, travel, entertainment, and meals out.

PS: It’s important to distinguish between WANTS and NEEDS in order to avoid overspending and debt.

Lastly, allocate 20% of your income to savings and debt. This is  crucial for building a secure financial future. This category includes things like starting and growing an emergency fund, saving for retirement. By prioritizing savings and debt repayment, you can create a financial cushion for unexpected expenses and prepare for the future.

Start Investing in Emergency Fund: 

An emergency fund is money saved for unforeseen expenses or financial emergencies like car repairs, medical bills, or a loss of income. It serves as a safety net to help you weather any financial storm that may come your way, without having to rely on high-interest credit cards or loans. 

This reserve can be used for both big and small payments that are not part of your usual monthly expenses. It is a useful tool that allows you to withdraw funds if necessary. By having an emergency fund in place, you can alleviate the stress and worry that can come with unforeseen circumstances and be better prepared to handle whatever life throws your way. 

Be consistent and have the right mindset: 

grow your money

You have to get into the habit of managing your money. Set a goal, monthly, quarterly, yearly and make sure you stick to them for they will lead you to huge dividends. Along with this it is also important to believe that you deserve to be wealthy. And you’re already halfway there!. This is the mantra towards money.  It is important to understand while this mantra is surely going to aid to manage your finances, what will truly  make an impact is your consistent effort. 

Remember, that without this, the other strategies are basically moot.

There is also a need for you to intentionally focus on the abundance of resources and opportunities around you.When you have a strong money mindset, you can work towards what you believe you deserve with more clarity and confidence. 

Conclusion 

Money management is challenging at first, but it can be an incredibly rewarding journey. With a little discipline and restraint in the beginning, you’ll reap the benefits of a secure financial future in the long run. 

And the best part? It’s not rocket science. 

Anyone with the desire to take control of their finances can follow this principled approach and achieve success. As the saying goes, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” 

So why not start today and watch your hard-earned money grow into a flourishing investment for your future.

Attract the Right Kind of Wealth Using These Money Tips

“Money is usually attracted not meant to be pursued”

Money is not just a currency; it’s a form of energy that flows in and out of our lives, much like the ebb and flow of the tide. It is a form of energy that is attracted, not pursued. Each of us has a unique relationship with money, an energetic bond that shapes our financial destiny. To become a magnet for financial abundance, we must first examine and dissolve the limiting beliefs that block the flow of money into our lives. Only then can we unlock the abundance of wealth and prosperity that awaits us.

 If you pursue money with a scarcity mindset it will lead to a sense of lack and limitation. On the other hand, when  a person approaches money with an abundance mindset and focuses on attracting it into their life, they open themselves up to new opportunities and possibilities. 

By shifting your focus to attracting money, you become more receptive to the abundance and prosperity that the universe has to offer. This allows you to tap into the natural flow of energy and abundance in the universe and receive the money and opportunities that you desire.

Let’s look at the ways in which you can attract wealth into your life using the right money tricks: 

MANIFEST the wealth you wish to have: 

Manifesting wealth through the Law of Attraction is a powerful concept.  This can bring immense wealth and abundance into your life. However, it requires you to identify and transform your limiting beliefs about money. Limiting beliefs about money can take many forms, such as the idea that money is scarce and difficult to acquire. Some even have thoughts such as that wealth and goodness are mutually exclusive. Before you can leverage the Law of Attraction to manifest financial abundance, it’s crucial to examine and overcome these beliefs.

By shifting your perspective on money and recognizing it as an accessible and infinite resource, you can create the habits and mindset necessary to attract wealth. One effective way to do this is by using  POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS:

Eg of these include: 

The wealth that I seek is within my reach and I deserve it.

My financial freedom is a reality that I embrace.

Visualize your wealth: 

Visualization is another powerful tool that can aid you in attracting the wealth you wish for. By visualizing  the money that you wish to attract as vividly as possible, you can teach your mind to tap into the inner resources needed to turn them into a reality. It will allow you to imagine your goals in your mind’s eye and accept that you deserve to achieve them, while also fostering a positive mindset that can help you stay on track towards success in the long run.

Visualizing abundance can also be beneficial in the context of finances. Picture yourself with enough money to meet your financial obligations comfortably. 

This practice enables you to feel the emotions associated with achieving your financial goals, thereby attracting these outcomes more quickly.

How to get started?

Pair the visualization along with your affirmations related to money, eg: 

Money is constantly drawn to me, I am a magnetic force.

Wealth and prosperity flow to me effortlessly and abundantly.

By doing this you will generate a sense of positivity  towards money, which can in turn attract more money. This generates a virtuous cycle, wherein positive attitudes towards money attracts more financial resources, which can then be used to further increase financial abundance.

It all starts from your home: 

In order to attract more prosperity and wealth into your life, it’s important to keep your house clean, organized, and inspiring. 

Yes a clean home does attract more wealth!!

As per Feng Shui, the more clean and tidy your house is, the more chances of you to attract wealth and prosperity in your life. Make sure to regularly deep clean your house weekly, especially your entry. This is because it is believed that keeping a clean entry can help invite positive energy into your home.

You can incorporate the five element colors. For example, black can represent the water element for more flow and connections, while red can symbolize the fire element for visibility and recognition. White or gray can represent the metal element for increased efficiency and joy, and yellow or brown can represent the earth element for stability and grounding. Lastly, green or blue can represent the wood element for growth and new beginnings.

Express gratitude to what you already have: 

Never underestimate the power of gratitude when it comes to attracting more abundance into your life. The Universe has a way of providing more of what you are grateful for. By focusing on what you are thankful for, you will begin to pursue those things with more passion and eliminate any limiting beliefs that may be holding you back. Gratitude also makes you more receptive to new opportunities.

When it comes to money, gratitude plays an important role in attracting the wealth you wish for. It is essential to be thankful for the money you already have and every opportunity you get to make more money, regardless of how much or how little it may be. Expressing gratitude for your financial blessings will help you attract more money into your life. An attitude of gratitude will guide your actions towards your finances. Being grateful for your money will motivate you to take care of it, be less wasteful and save more. It will also help you appreciate the value of money and the opportunities it brings.

Share what you have:

When you give generously, you open yourself up to the possibility of receiving even more in return. Sharing your wealth with others can be a great way to increase your own prosperity. As the saying goes, “you reap what you sow” By planting seeds of generosity and kindness, you are more likely to see a bountiful harvest in your own life.

The act of sharing your wealth with others can have a multitude of benefits, both for yourself and for those around you. By cultivating a spirit of generosity and abundance, you can attract more positivity into your life and create a stronger sense of community and purpose.

Finally be prepared to get more than what you planned for:

When we give, we put positive energy into the universe and attract more positive energy back to us. One real-life example of how giving can attract more,  is the story of billionaire businessman, Chuck Feeney. Feeney co-founded the Duty Free Shoppers Group and became incredibly wealthy, but he decided to give away part of his fortune to various causes through his foundation, The Atlantic Philanthropies. Despite giving away billions of dollars, Feeney’s net worth continued to increase, and he remained a billionaire until his goal of giving away his entire fortune was achieved in 2020.

This example shows us that giving can attract abundance and wealth, even in the face of seemingly contradictory logic. This principle can be applied to any amount of money we give, whether it’s a small donation to a charity or a significant sum to a cause we care deeply about. Ultimately, the more we give, the more we receive, both materially and spiritually.

Conclusion 

The positive energy and vibration that you vibrate to the universe is what will help you attract wealth. Negativity can only bring bad luck and block the path to success. By removing any mental or emotional blocks, you open yourself up to the possibility of attracting more wealth in your life. So, it’s crucial to focus on positivity and let go of negative energy to allow Lady Luck to bless you with abundance.

How to Manifest Wealth and Abundance in 2023 Using the Law of Attraction

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of financial struggle, wondering how others seem to effortlessly manifest wealth and abundance? 

Well, it’s time to tap into the power of manifestation and transform your relationship with money. 

As the saying goes, where focus goes, energy flows  and this is especially true when it comes to manifesting wealth and abundance in your life. If you’re currently struggling to make ends meet, it’s time to shift your mindset and stop fixating on your lack of funds. 

Remember, “the more difficult you think it is to make money, the more difficulties you will experience”. 

Let’s explore  a few ways in which one can overcome limiting beliefs about wealth and attract  more abundance into your life.

Become Aware of YOUR OWNSELF: 

Achieving wealth and abundance is a mental game before it becomes a tangible reality. The Law of Attraction is proof of this. You can consciously manifest anything you desire by regularly focusing on it. This law emphasizes the power of the mind in attracting your desires. To put it simply, you get what you think about.

manifest law of attraction

The first step to manifesting what you want in life is to become aware of your thoughts and beliefs. Your thoughts create your beliefs, and your beliefs create your reality. Many of our beliefs are rigid or inflexible in nature. They do not allow us to grow rather are negative and self defeating in nature. If you continue to think and make choices based on these limiting beliefs, you’ll stay stuck where you are. Pay attention to what you believe and how it influences the decisions you make. By becoming aware of your thoughts and beliefs, you can reprogram them to match your desires.

REPROGRAM your beliefs:

It is essential to manifesting the life you want. If you believe that you have to work hard for your money, you’ll have to constantly hustle and will ultimately burn out. Similarly, if you believe that you’re not good enough, you’ll attract people who don’t value you. Just because you believe something doesn’t make it true, but your beliefs will manifest in your life. 

To reprogram your beliefs, contradict them with new beliefs that are more in line with what you want to manifest. Focus on expanding your possibilities rather than limiting yourself. As the saying goes by Socrates, The secret to change is to focus your energy not on fighting the old but on building the NEW.

Becoming a vibrational match to what you want is the next step. 

Science and quantum physics support the idea of manifestation through The Law of Attraction.  Everything has energy, including you, and your dominant vibration is what you’re feeling. Like vibrations attract, so if you’re feeling low or negative, you’ll attract more negativity. 

To attract the things you want in life, focus on raising your vibration by consciously working through your limiting  beliefs. The higher your vibration, the more you’ll attract positivity into your life.

Embody the person you want to be:

This is a major step which is quite neglected too. Instead of waiting for the things you want to come to you, you must become the person who makes them happen. Don’t wait to be happy or successful. 

You need to be that person RIGHT NOW,

Align your thoughts, beliefs, and energy into acting the way you wish to be in the future.  Make your decisions based on the person you intend to be. By embodying the person you want to be, you’ll attract the opportunities and experiences that align with that version of yourself. Surrendering and releasing what does not align with your belief is an essential part of manifestation. 

But remember that it’s not up to you to determine the how and when of your manifestations. You may not see the bigger picture, but the universe does. Trust that the universe has your best interests in mind and surrender your fears and hopes to it. Intuition is a powerful tool, so listen to it and let it guide you. When you trust your intuition and surrender your fears, you’ll manifest your abundance faster than you ever thought possible.

Finally, learn to receive and stay open:

Many people struggle to receive many forms of positivity, which creates resistance to abundance. This means you may have tunnel vision and believe that the only way to achieve abundance is through a single job or income source. This is called having a rigid outlook in life. 

 This rigid outlook is flawed and stifling, as it positions you as needy and subservient. This negativity throws off the delicate balance of universal energy, hindering your progress. As the saying goes, The stiff tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind”

Thus it is essential to realize that opportunities for abundance can come in many forms. Be open to new ideas and possibilities. By learning to receive and staying open, you’ll attract more abundance and positivity into your life. When you have a hopeful outlook, you can step back and allow the universe to work its magic without interference. It can be difficult for some to do so, as they want to be the sole architects of their financial success.

But a rule of thumb to remember is that The Law of Attraction necessitates the transmission of the proper energy in order for the universe to respond positively and guide you on your path. So, let the universe lead the way, and trust that abundance is on its way to you.

Conclusion: 

By adopting a positive and abundance-focused mindset, you can unleash the full potential of the Law of Attraction and manifest the wealth and abundance that you deserve. So, start believing in yourself and your ability to create wealth, and watch as the universe begins to respond to your thoughts and desires.

Manifestations for Prosperity and Well Being

The universe is your canvas, and your thoughts are the brushstrokes that paint your reality. After all, prosperity and well-being are not just distant dreams, but tangible realities that you can manifest into your life!

Your mind has the power to harness the energy of the universe to create a life that aligns with your deepest desires. The art of manifestation is not some esoteric concept, but a natural law that governs the universe. With the right mindset, beliefs, and actions, you can attract abundance, joy, and fulfillment into every aspect of your life.

The journey to prosperity and well-being begins with a single step – the decision to manifest your dreams into reality. And although there are many factors that contribute to them such as luck, timing, and connections, it’s ultimately our own actions and decisions that shape our path in life.

One example of this is the story of Oprah Winfrey, who grew up in poverty and faced many challenges in her early life, including abuse and neglect. Despite these obstacles, Oprah remained focused on her goals and worked hard to achieve success in the media industry. Thus becoming prosperous as a result. 

Here is how successful  people end up bagging their share of prosperity and well being 

LESS IS ALWAYS MORE:

This principle emphasizes simplicity, minimalism, and the idea that sometimes, less can be more effective than more. It’s a concept that can be applied to attract the prosperity and well being you wish to have in life. 

It is the belief that there is more than enough to go around. This means recognizing that there is an abundance of resources and opportunities around you and there is enough for you. With this belief, you can approach life with a sense of abundance rather than scarcity.

Some manifestations you can use to activate this principle : 

  • I have unwavering faith in my abilities and potential.
  • My life is overflowing with blessings and abundance.
  • I hold an unshakable belief in my capabilities and inner strength.

OPTIMISM is the Key 

Another characteristic for manifesting prosperity and well being is being optimistic. By focusing on positive outcomes and possibilities, you can attract more positivity and abundance into your life.

Optimism is key | laugh and be happy 

Additionally, being happy for other people’s successes and accomplishments can help you cultivate an abundance mindset. Celebrating others’ achievements rather than feeling jealous or envious can help you create a positive and supportive environment.

Some manifestations you can use to activate this principle : 

  • The clouds of insecurity, jealousy, and inadequacy are dissolved by the sunshine of self-love and acceptance, bathing me in a warm and comforting glow 
  • My worth shines brightly, reflecting the light of my soul and illuminating the world around me.
  • I believe in the Universe and all the good things that are yet to come.

LET go of FEAR:

Your way of thinking is also an important part of developing yourself to welcome prosperity in your life.  This means having the confidence to dream big and pursue your goals and aspirations without fear of failure or limitations. Being proactive is a characteristic of a prosperous individual. Rather than waiting for opportunities to come to you, you take action and create opportunities for yourself. This means being willing to take risks and embrace new challenges.

le go of fear
It also involves embracing change and committing to constant learning. This means being open to new ideas and perspectives, and constantly seeking ways to grow and develop as a person. By doing so you can transform your life and manifest abundance in all areas. With conscious effort and practice, you can cultivate this mindset and attract the life you desire.

Some manifestations you can use to activate this principle: 

  • My thoughts are clear and focused towards my goal. 
  • A beacon of light is guiding me on the path to inner peace. 
  • I am not intimidated by external circumstances.

Begin NOW : 

You cannot expect to have all the prosperity in the world without taking any active steps towards it. This means that the universe requires you to take meaningful and dedicated steps towards your goal. Sure some days are going to be stagnant and you would feel that there is no progress being made but trust the universe  and the signs it sends at every checkpoint.

start now | beginning

The signs could be in the form of angel numbers, synchronicity or maybe an expert or an elder one confirms whatever you have been feeling. There are always ways in which the universe speaks to you, pay attention and you won’t be disheartened or won’t feel like quitting.  And lastly, DO NOT QUIT.

It is said that “Magic happens when you don’t give up even though you want to, this is because the universe always falls in love with a stubborn heart.”  So start taking action. And this action need not be a drastic action. The only way is by persistently doing small bits daily. 

Manifestation you can use to activate this principle :  

  • I hold in my hands the tools to forge a path of my choosing.
  • I am building a castle of dreams and making them a reality.
  • I hold the power to create a life I love.

Conclusion:

Begin your manifestation journey with a sacred morning ritual that feeds your soul and uplifts your spirit. Embrace this practice, for this resonates with you and infuses you with the energy and emotions that align with your desires. Whether it’s meditation, journaling, or prayer or through visualizations, the choice is yours. Repeat your affirmations, visualize your dreams becoming a reality. This ritual will set the tone for your day and instill in you the drive to pursue your goals with purpose and passion.

How to Use the Universe’s Renewable Energy

Renewable energy cannot be exhausted. Nature replenishes it simultaneously as you consume it. Nature has given us plenty of renewable sources of energy – solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydropower, and bioenergy are on the long list of nature’s gifts to humanity. Similarly, there are spiritual renewable sources of energy just as it is in the physical realm. You cannot deplete this energy no matter how long or heavily you use it.

A spiritual source of renewable energy is the rudder that leads the ship of your life. Do you feel tired of life or have zero motivation? The solution is to get connected to the power grid of the universe’s renewable power. Your energy shall always be on the higher side – there is no low voltage or power outage and the power tariffs are incredibly low!

The choice of energy – whether renewable or not – is heavily influenced by external factors. It could be that you were plugged into non-renewable energy and your spirit gets tired during spiritual marathons. Sometimes you could be weak and even faint. This makes your spirit unable to carry your vision for long and you will need to restart each time. You need unlimited energy to take you through hundreds of kilometers in a marathon as you chase your dreams.

Nature is here to plug you into renewable energy with a hundred percent guarantee of constant supply with no interruption.

The power tariffs of the universe are affordable. This is how you can tap into the universe’s renewable sources of energy:

  1.     Always start each day on a clean plate.

sunrise

Each day is a gift from the universe and you should receive it with open arms. Do not carry the baggage of yesterday, last week, month, or year into a new day. Each day is unique and has its blessings. You do not put clean food on a dirty plate and neither do you drink from a dirty cup. The dirty utensil will contaminate the food no matter how tasty it is. This is how it is when you start a new day when you are still plugged into non-renewable energy. Disconnect yourself from previous burdens and begin the day with new thoughts of positivity. If something was impossible yesterday, then it shall be possible today because the dynamics have changed. This is what it means to be connected to renewable energy – a supply of new energy each day.

  1.     Avoid friends with negative energy.

Avoid friends with negative energy

One of the laws of power is that you should not associate with the sad and unlucky. Their bad energy is contagious. They will stall your progress even when your intentions are pure. Consider two people, one standing on top of a table and the other on the floor, who can easily pull the other? The one standing on the floor will easily pull down the friend standing on the table. This is a perfect example of how bad energy is contagious. Friends who are still plugged into non-renewable energy will influence you not to tap into the universe’s renewable energy. Have new friends who have seen the light like you and have tapped into the universe’s renewable energy. They will encourage you to continue walking in the light.

  1.     Renew, recycle, and reuse.

renewable energy

Renewable energy is environmentally friendly. It poses no danger of pollution and the best part is that it is easily accessible.

The first step to tap into it is to renew your love for nature. Be an environment champion even when it is an unpopular opinion. The environment is at the heart of nature and taking care of it will make you very significant. It is both the natural world and the people whom the universe has brought into your circle. A clean environment wards off environmental diseases. it equally keeps you connected to the people that the universe has chosen for you.

The second step is to recycle your affection for humanity. Sometimes you may feel hurt beyond healing and you never want to remember the dark chapter in your history. The universe wants you to start your healing journey and recycle the love you once felt. Love heals and restores. It is like reconnecting electricity when there was a blackout. We forget the gloom of the blackout and celebrate the light that has filled the room. The will of the universe is that love lights up the whole world.

The third step is to reuse your connections. We are all connected in one way or the other. Your power lies in your connections – in the people whom the universe has assigned to hold your hand as you pursue your purpose. They are the power buttons that will light your world when turned on. This last step will make you never lack energy now that you are connected to the power grid of the universe’s renewable energy.

  1.     Embrace order.

Communicate with the Universe

The universe thrives on order. The cart never comes before the horse. Order has been the tradition of the universe and it has built strong systems. It is defined by how you do not go for shortcuts regardless of the pressure you may have. The clouds have to form before it rains and the farm is tilled before planting. Order removes confusion and reinforces due process. Nature has systems that make events run seamlessly. The natural flow is automatic and bullies its way through human obstacles. The flow of rivers, for example, is predetermined by the geography of the environment. It is its natural order. Any attempt to change it will not be automatically successful. Personal discipline will enable you to maintain the order of the universe. Renewable energy fuels this discipline. Get plugged into this energy today.

The universe has infinite sources of renewable energy for your body and spirit. You will never lack anything for as long as you are connected to the main power grid. Your energy shall not be depleted day and night and you will be a dependent person.

eye of the Universe

As Far as Your Eyes Can See

Sight is nature’s best gift to humanity. This is not to downplay the importance of the other senses; they are equally important. Sight enables you to make the right judgment, identify colors, choose products, and do so much more. Many inventions are successful because of sight. Improvements were made on time because those involved could see what needed to be done. Scientific observations are mostly made by sight and it leads the scientists to correct conclusions. Humanity owes a lot to nature’s gift of sight.

Come to think of it, how would the world be without sight?

The eye is the door to the spirit.

What you look at has a great impact on your spiritual and physical life. It is your responsibility to be careful with what you see The eyes are like a gatekeeper. They allow or deny people entry into an establishment. The gatekeeper has to identify you as either a resident or a visitor of that place. He also has to check what you are carrying (that you do not have prohibited items like weapons). A competent gatekeeper prevents a lot of bad things from happening. Your eyes are supposed to be as competent as this gatekeeper. This will make you a god gatekeeper.

The good gatekeeper.

The universe wants you to be deliberate with what you watch. You cannot afford to let your eyes see everything that you are not supposed to. While it is understandable that you have little or no control over what your eyes see, you can look away from what will contaminate your spirit.

Milky Way | Universe

Nature wants you to preserve your purity even in the modern world. The purity of your spirit heavily depends on your eyes – which is also the gatekeeper to your spirit. A pure spirit attracts nature’s goodness. You will inherit the best of the land – sweet relationships, adorable friends, great health, and divine favor from the universe.

A good gatekeeper is the envy of many people. They will want to associate with you because of the universe’s favor. Your blessings will be written in gold ink. As a good gatekeeper, only good things should happen under your watch. This will put you in good light with nature as a man/woman who is the right gatekeeper. The good gatekeeper is praised by all. More significantly is that the gatekeeper is worthy of a good salary and even a promotion.

This is what the universe wants you to see:

  1.     Your capacity.

“Yes, we can!” – this was the slogan of the 44th American president. You can do exceedingly well. Nature has not put any barrier between you and success. The road ahead is clear, be the driver. The universe wants you to see and appreciate your capacity and not underestimate yourself for whatever reason.

You are special and unique, the man/woman for the job that you are shying away from. There is power in owning your abilities and championing yourself. Self-belief is contagious. Other people will trust you as a performer because you also believe in yourself. Your vote of confidence in yourself and that of other people is a great push toward your success. The universe has millions of opportunities. It is all yours as far as your eyes can see.

  1.     The wealth of the universe.

A father would want his child to know of his wealth. It is an assurance to the minor that the child’s welfare is well taken care of and there is no scare of lack. The eyes of the child are always on the ability of the father to provide. As a loving parent, the universe wants you to know of his wealth. Your needs are equally provided for and there is no need for an alarm.

Money and Universe

The reason you are still in lack is that you have not asked your father for provision. The King’s son does not know that he is heir to the throne when he is a small baby. The nanny or caregiver controls everything about him and he hardly has a voice in it.

However, when he grows up, fast forward to a few years later, he is aware of his role as the crown prince and the heir in waiting. He is no longer under the controlling care of the nanny but he can now make relevant decisions about his life. He will lack nothing because he knows he can get what he wants from his father’s kingdom – knowledge that he did not have initially. It could be that you are now like the King’s child who is unaware of the wealth of your father, the King.

The universe wants you to open your eyes to the reality of your father’s wealth. It is also yours, as far as your eyes can see.

  1.     The divine health from the universe.

Are you desperate for healing and freedom from the chains of diseases? Nature wants you to open your eyes to where you can find divine health – the universe. Modern medicine borrows healing tips from nature. It is time to go straight to the source for your treatment.

healing hands

The universe wants you to open your eyes to the reality that healing could come from where you least expect it. Pay attention to what you eat. It is a make-or-break choice that will influence the status of your health. Go for natural food over fast foods made without your tomorrow in mind.

Your eyes should not be blinded by all the public relations campaigns in support of unhealthy and unnatural foods. Nature has granted you divine health as far as your eyes can see.

Your eyes are the greatest determinant of what you can achieve. They spark the desire to either do good. They can lead you to the path of prosperity. When you choose to see what the universe wants you to and to avoid what goes against its principles, you would have opened a bigger door for your spiritual breakthrough.

awaken the giant within you

Awakening the (Sleeping) Giant in You

There are normal people and there are giants. There is nothing out of the ordinary with normal people. Their routines are predictable and their lives are in a constant loop. Normal people attract normal things. Their dreams and ambitions are average, their friends and associates are ordinary, and their efforts yield ordinary results. This is not the plan of the universe for you. You are extraordinary because there is a giant inside you. The giant inside of you is capable of doing extraordinary things.

Can other people see the giant in you or you are as ordinary as other people to them? Do you remember a time in your life when you were so powerful to accomplish whatever you had set your heart to? The giant inside you was awake and working magic in your life. The spark was lost because he is asleep and you are yet to wake him up. Everyone has a different giant in their lives as the universe assigned. It is not nature’s wish that we all have a similar giant, because how else would we complement each other? Our strength is in our diversity, and the universe knows this quite well.

motivation | affirmation

The giant in your life could be talent, ambition, vision, razor-sharp focus, a genius mind, or the spirit of love. The universe endows each of us differently; and to some, more than one giant. These giants could, however, be asleep in your life and you need to wake them up to restore your lost glory. An awake giant could disrupt your life because it will no longer be business as usual. This is a welcome disruption because it will put you on your map to glory. This is how you can wake up the sleeping giant in you:

  1.     Have vision bearers.

Vision bearers are people in your life who share your vision and its weight with you. Your plan becomes their plan as well. They have no hidden motive with you and their sole goal is to see this vision come to fruition. It is good that you already have a vision but it will be even better if you have vision bearers. Put your vision for your company, business, family, relationships, or anything that you choose on a vision board. It is more of writing it so that you can look at it like a third party. This will awaken the sleeping giant in you and you can see how to manage the success of everything in your vision board. Consider yourself the managing director of a company. He/she is in charge of everything in the company to secure its best interest so that it may continue to remain afloat in a competitive industry. The company is your life and the giant in you is the managing director. Vision bearers are the other directors. Together as the board of directors, the company shall fulfill its mandate (your vision) to the latter. Choose your vision bearers today.

  1.     Fuel the fire for your desires.

Desires can die as easily as they are born. The ambitious giant in you is asleep because desire died. You once desired to raise a healthy family and relate well with other people. You even desired to pursue higher education and complete your doctorate. There was a time in your youth when you dreamt of becoming the senator or president of your country. What happened to all these desires? The enemy stole them from you and you instead had a gloomy picture of how it is not possible to achieve them. The universe wants you to know that it is possible to fulfill all of them. Re-ignite your dreams once more. Believe in your desires one more time and resurrect your youthful dreams. The giant in you will awaken and focus on ticking all the boxes on your bucket list. It is a job well done at the end of the day.

  1.     Practice makes perfect.

It is good to have goals and targets. It is difficult to have a perfect aim on target for the first time. You need to practice over time to improve your skills and you will eventually become an expert. The same thing applies to the sleeping giant in you. You need to practice your niche over time and gain the needed experience for a breakthrough. It is not impossible to have the highest sales in a month or become the best employee of the year. You only need to be persistent until you get it right. While some people could be genius to grasp a concept for the first time, this is not the case for many others. You need to keep on pushing to get the breakthrough you need. Practice makes perfect!

  1.     Feed your giant.

The giant in you could be asleep because of starvation. It is your responsibility to feed your giant to keep him awake. Expose yourself to the right people and consume relevant information. Knowledge is power even to the giant in you. This will help you to have a razor-sharp focus. Nature is dynamic and the world is ever-changing. Keep yourself abreast with the current trends in your space so that you may think outside the box and apply your knowledge relevantly. Staying dormant as if nothing is happening in your life will cause the giant in you to fall asleep because you starved him. Get engaged and move out of your comfort zone.

  1.     Improve your motivation.

Your motivation is a contributing factor to waking up the giant in you. Stay motivated and positive throughout if you want to keep the giant in you awake. There is a saying when working out that most people use – go hard or go home. You did not come this far to give up on the way. There is a lot of potential in you that can keep the giant in you awake for a lifetime. Motivated people are easy to get along with because they are not bitter. The universe will embrace you fully because you have an open mind to fulfill your mandate.

never stop dreaming quoute

An awake giant will improve your productivity. You can accomplish a lot within a shorter time with the help of nature. It is time to awaken the sleeping giant in you

The Flavor of Manifestation

In all wisdom, the universe gifted us with a sense of taste. We use it to differentiate sour, bitter, and sweet flavors. Our sense of taste has led us to make different decisions that we are proud of. What would life be without the sense of taste? It could be difficult to determine the tastes of flavors and make independent decisions. The food industry heavily depends on the sense of taste because people eat not only to be satisfied but also to enjoy the sweet meals they order.

The sense of taste is also responsible for the good relationship you enjoy with your children or younger siblings. Children love sweet foods and snacks. They will forever be grateful to you when you buy them cakes, sweets, biscuits, and their favorite milkshake. Their good sense of taste makes them enjoy these snacks and they come to thank you for it. This is the tip of the iceberg on the many things that we enjoy courtesy of the gift of taste.

Manifestation of our desires is the ultimate goal we are looking forward to. The universe is giving you a chance to choose and taste your flavor. Consider the example of how you cook food. You add salt to the food you are cooking and taste it to confirm it is as you would like it to be. If it is not, you have a second chance to add more until you feel it is okay. Similarly, as you manifest your desires, the universe is giving you a window to add salt and taste. This is how you can do to improve the flavor of manifestation by adding salt:

  1.  Be kind.

kindness

It is said that in a world where you can be anything, be kind. This is a conscious choice that you make without any external influence. Kindness is not measured by your wealth or riches but by who you are in your spirit. The manifestation of your desires from the universe you are looking forward to is for the benefit of other people too. Nature is home to all of us. The corporate world has borrowed this concept. Companies are engaged in corporate social responsibility to give back to the community. It is not an obligation per se but a choice that companies make while looking at their future in the environment they operate.

Those that are involved in social responsibility cement their foundation in business with the community. They would be welcomed by the residents who would be their first customers. Similarly, your kindness to nature and the universe is a social responsibility on your shoulders that will determine how quickly you manifest your desires. You can show kindness by caring for the needy. Share with them, not out of abundance but love, what you may have. These little acts of kindness reflect who you are in the spirit. The universe speeds up or slows down the manifestation of your desires as is reflected by your spirit.

  1.  Be humble.

flavor of manifestation

Humility is the ability to accept your achievements without boasting about them. You recognize it is an honor to achieve what you have even as you look to achieve greater levels of success. Your search for manifestation can be tasteless or very salty if you lack humility. The universe is very sensitive to the flavor of your manifestation. Consider the example of a parent and a child. He/she will not give the child a gift that will ruin his future or make him go astray. Every gift a parent gives to a child is given in good faith and with noble intentions. In case the parent foresees that the gift may cause more harm than good to the child, he/she does not give it out. Similarly, if the flavor of your manifestation is tasteless or salty, the universe will withhold the blessing of the manifestation of your desires. The universe acts in good faith just as any responsible parent does.

  1.  Be consultative.

Consultation is a very noble act. A person who consults widely is more likely to make the right choices in life. He recognizes the experience of other people and their different points of view. A wise man accepts that he does not have a monopoly on knowledge and he reaches out far and wide. Consider the example of cooking which like any other art has levels of experience. Some people have more and others less. Experienced chefs know at what point in cooking to add salt and what amount. In their experience, they know which foods need more salt and which do not. Similarly, as you seek to manifest your desires, consider being as consultative as possible. The universe will give a green light to the manifestation of your desires if it tastes the right flavor. Experienced people who have walked down the same path as you are better placed to guide you on how to get the right flavor. This explains why some experienced chefs are in high demand; moving from one hotel to another because their services are highly sought after. They know how to get the right flavor. This is the make-or-break deal to manifesting your desires.

  1.  Accept correction.

get over it | acceptance

It is human nature to make mistakes, sometimes even adding too much salt or none at all. What can make you a great chef and enable you to tune the flavor of the manifestation of your desires to the right one is how quick you are to accept correction. After consulting with the experts, you should be ready to accept correction and adjust your cooking skills as the experts have advised. You taste your food first before you serve it to guests. Before you submit your manifestation prayers to the universe, have you accepted the correction from the experts whom you have consulted? You should be sure that your manifestation prayers have the right flavor to get a green light as fast as possible. No student submits work for marking that they are not sure about. Always strive to get it right the first time.

The flavor of your manifestation prayers matters a lot. Salt adds this flavor but it is you to determine how much of it you will add. These four ways will guide you to do the right thing. I am cheering you on your way!

The Secrets of Manifestation

Secrets can make or break friendships, relationships, marriages, or trust. Come to think of it, who does not have secrets? Almost everybody does it for reasons best known to themselves. Secrets could be shameful issues that could damage your reputation and they could as well be powerful recipes for success that should be closely guarded. If our secrets could be written on our faces for everyone to see, we would have nowhere to hide from the world. This makes keeping secrets a secret very important and it is for the good of everyone that we respect them.

Does the universe have secrets? Are there things that are deliberately kept away from us? Yes, there are secrets hidden from everybody. The universe is the most secretive friend you could ever find. She knows what is happening in the life of everyone yet she does not gossip about it. Her lips are sealed to hold your secrets forever. In the same way, there are secret principles that the universe operates on. Manifestation is shrouded in secrecy and it remains a mystery to most people.

How can you make manifestation work for you? These secrets of manifestation will enable you to live a stress-free life:

  1.     The secret of the early bird.

You must have heard that it is the early bird who catches the worm. A minute late will cost the bird the worm and it may go hungry. There is an appointed time for everything in the universe. This is the reason why the sun does not shine at night or the moon during the day. Again, the sun rises and sets almost at the same time each day. The coordination of the heavenly lights is amazingly superb.

secret of the bird

Time is nature’s gift to us and we should take full advantage of it. Develop definite timelines and plans for your work. Being the early bird who is time conscious will sync your routine with the universe’s and your desires will manifest, one after another. You no longer have to fight with deadlines because you completed your work long before time. The early bird always hits targets because of timeliness. It eats the best before others wake up and feed on the remnants.

  1.     The secret of the ant.

The ant is a small-body insect in size yet a very important one. They are very hard-working insects. For their size, you would not expect much from them. They will prove you wrong with how much they work – day and night. Ants walk in a straight line wherever they go. They look for food and carry it to their anthill where they store it for the future. Whenever one of them finds food for the group, it will go to their anthill and tell the rest. They will then go together and carry it home. They work tirelessly and in unity to hunt for food. They have enough to eat when drought strikes or during bad weather. Their wisdom in saving for the future and working in unity is the secret to manifesting your desires.

the secret of the ant

Parents do not spoon-feed children for the rest of their lives. At a certain age, they wean them off milk and introduce the baby to solid food. Similarly, the universe as a good parent does not feed us milk only. It is time you take on solid food and work like the ants in unity and determination to realize your dreams. Nature is using ants to show you that it is possible to be determined and to manifest a life of abundance.


  1.     The secret of the bee.

The bee is a famous insect. It is famed for the sweet honey it produces. Not everybody is lucky to see the bee, taste its honey, and see the honeycombs from the bee hive. There are many valuable lessons that nature wants us to learn from this insect. Like the ant, it is very hardworking. Bees fly widely in search of flowers where they can take the nectar to the beehive. From there, the process of making honey takes place. The bees’ hard work alone is not enough. There is a clear chain of authority from the government of these wonderful insects. They live in colonies that are headed by a single queen bee. She is royalty and commands respect throughout her colony. All bees respect her authority without question and will put their lives on the line for her sake. When the colony is attacked, soldier bees do all it takes to keep her majesty safe. Their work is to provide maximum security to whom they treasure the most – the Queen.

Nature teaches about authority and dedication through the lives of bees. Guard your dreams against any attack from wherever quarters. In the same spirit, adhere to authority as bees do in their colonies. The secret to manifesting all you desire is to live like bees.

  1.     The secret of the lion.

The lion is the King of the jungle. When he roars, everyone is reminded who is the King. He is strong, calm, and a good hunter.

the secret of the lion

Manifesting your desires is a way of hunting for them. The lion is not the fastest animal and neither is he the most endangered species yet he rules the jungle. What makes him stand out as King is how calculative he is. Each hunt is well thought out and success is mostly always guaranteed. A lion takes time to observe its prey, whether it is in a herd or alone. After singling out the animal, the King of the jungle slowly starts the chase until he catches the prey. The secret of foresight rests with the lion. This is important to manifest your desires. The universe is aware of the many competing interests but needs you to be focused on what is on your bucket list. This razor-sharp focus will bag you the gold medal and you will eventually manifest all your desires.

The secrets of manifestation lie with nature. Sometimes it could be right under your nose and you need to be conscious of your environment. Be on the lookout for more secrets from the universe
