Time To Give Up?Twenty-eight year old Robert has wanted to be a professional actor since
he was in grade school. Thirty-four year old Jennifer wanted kids
since she married her high school sweetheart. Arnold has wanted his
ex-girlfriend back since they broke up last year, and Marie has pined away
for a book publishing deal for five long years.
Lots of well-meaning friends and family advise these folks that if it were
meant to be, it would have happened by now. They suggest they'd be
better off by getting practical and working with what they've got rather
than holding out for the impossible. That maybe it just isn't in the
cards, and that divine will has a different plan.
So ... when is it time to give up? When do we throw in the towel and
move on to plan B?
Well, in my opinion, as well as my personal experience, the best time to
give up is now.
That's right. Did you think I was going to say never give up?
That it's never too late to make your dream come true? That anything
can happen, even though it hasn't in the last decade of wishing for it?
That's what I used to think.
And then I learned about the power of giving up.
That is, giving up the struggle. Giving up desperation.
Giving up the feeling that it's a long time coming, and it's been a hard
road, and everyone else has theirs but me.
Giving up the resistance is the best thing you could do to get what
you want. But don't imagine you're letting go of your desire
as you release the struggle you've engaged in. The desire remains, and
as you release the energy that's been keeping you out of alignment with what
you want, you become a swift match to its manifestation.
That's what Robert discovered when he stopped auditioning for parts and
joined a friend for a cross country road trip, and then got a call that he
just landed his first movie role. That's what Jennifer experienced
after adopting her first child, and then promptly had three of her own.
That's what happened to Arnold after he started flirting with other girls
and his ex started writing him again. And to Marie when she made peace
with the fact that her book may be for her eyes only, then she heard from
her agent saying they had a publisher on board.
That's what happened to me when I gave up thinking I could have a successful
coaching practice and started research making money online through internet
marketing.
So when is it time to give up? It's now. Give up the struggle,
the effort, the desperation, the pining away - give it all up now.
You don't have to resign yourself to going without, or try to tell yourself
a different story about what you want - because Universe hears the truth of
your desire. Regardless of what you say, it knows what you really
want. And that desire is answered swiftly when you clear the area of
negative energy.
Having said that, this article is written for those who have been struggling
or working hard to get what they want. If you're enjoying the thought
of your desire, full steam ahead! All we're looking to do is clear out
any resistance that's present.
Miracles await when you do!
