My desire secrets

I'm willing to go out on a limb here and say that there isn't a person on the planet that doesn't have a desire of some kind. I'll even go out on another limb and state that every person on the planet has more than one desire at a time. Whether it's wanting more money, a new home, a relationship, more sleep, more love in the world or even a desire to laugh more in life, it's all about wanting something we don't have at the moment we are wanting it. Depending on any one person's circumstance, each desire can feel just as unattainable and create a feeling of frustration and/or hopelessness.

Here's the truth about desires; we will always have unfulfilled desires and it's because of that, you will continue to grow and expand in your life. Whenever you reach one place or fulfill one desire, you will then automatically find yourself moving to the next place with the next desire. There is nothing wrong with this. This is human nature and to find yourself in a place of having desires and having them fulfilled is exhilarating. It can almost become a game and there are a few rules, that when followed accordingly, can create the feeling of winning even before your desire has manifested.

Rule #1: When you're in a place with unfulfilled desires remember to not feel a sense of fear, anxiety, frustration or even impatience. Did I just hear a, "Yeah, right," with a tone of sarcasm in there? That's fine. I know how you feel. I've been there myself only to realize once I started playing by the Universe's rules and not my own, everything changed for me. You see it's those exact emotions that keep your desires from being fulfilled because you're not in a receiving place. It's not your job to figure out all the ways to get your desires fulfilled. It is your job to be very clear in asking for what you want and to trust with all your heart everything will come to you at the perfect time. When you get the urge to take an action toward fulfilling your desire that feels wonderful to you, then do so. But only if it feels right. Do not push action on yourself just because you think you should be doing something. That will only bring you more frustration and you won't have any fun in the process.

Rule #2: Focus on what is working in your life and feeling more of your true essence more often. Ask yourself anytime you're full of doubt and fear, "What is working?" Allow yourself to live on the outside, what really exists on the inside of your soul with your values, integrity and needs. Match your inside to your outside world so they become one and the same. Focus on what's true for you without the concern of what others may think. When you do these things you are becoming a vibrational match to everything that is rightfully yours just waiting to show up in your life which can ultimately feel like a miracle, fulfilling your desires in ways greater than you ever imagined possible.

Rule #3: Be aware of your thoughts. When you watch what pops up in your mind throughout the day about your desires you will begin to notice if you've got more negative chatter going on or more positive chatter. Or as I call it, your Gremlin or your Genie. Once there is an awareness of your thoughts your world can begin to change. In a heartbeat, you can change your thought and create it to be anything that makes you feel good. You can even take yourself on a mini vacation. Use your imagination to create a scene that you're in where you feel a sense of joy, fun, peace or calmness. Whatever you need at the time. Go there alone, so you don't have to pay attention to how anyone else is feeling or respond to what he or she may say. This is strictly for you and your well-being. You only need to go there for a very short time, just create change in your thought pattern and raise your vibration enough so you become aligned with what you're desiring by feeling good. When you feel a shift leave the scene and go about your day. You can do this many times throughout the day to create the shift you're wanting. I promise you, the more you do this, the less your Gremlin will show up, the better you'll feel and the quicker your desires get fulfilled.

Rule # 4: Although this rule is simple it tends to be the hardest to grasp at a cellular, all knowing level. Trust. Trust that all your desires have been heard and are in the process of being fulfilled. When your thoughts, feelings, words and actions are in alignment, your unfulfilled desires will be fulfilled faster than you can create a new desire.

Rule #5: This rule may be the most important rule of all. Live in gratitude for all that you have in life. No matter what is going on there is always something to be grateful for and the Universe responds so graciously to gratitude when it is authentic and heartfelt. I'm going to suggest that you create a gratitude journal and write in it everyday. It only takes a couple of minutes to come up with a few things to be grateful for each day and when you do this you'll open yourself up to receiving more and more things to thank the Universe for.

So embrace your unfulfilled desires and be willing, for the next 30 days, to play by these five rules and see what shows up differently for you. You may find certain desires getting fulfilled or maybe you'll feel lighter about life in general. Either way, if you don't give it a whirl you'll never know what could have been.
